HI - I finally figured out how to use this plug-in!
(1) I only realised that halfway through your help instructions (at the beginning of this htread) you mention 'clippings.txt' but it was not clear that this plug-in totally relies on it. I had to read through several times before the penny dropped.
I had deleted my clippings file recently (it was getting large) and it took a while to figure out that the plugin wasn't finding my annotations because the clippings file did not match the books in my library!
Maybe a clear statement at the beginning that this plugin uses the clippings.txt file so do not delete it until you have copied the annotations in to Calibre?
It's not obvious to dummies like me!
(2) The annotations list appears in a window of its own - very useful but it cannot be resized! Could this be fixed? (I can drag column widths but this does not change the overall window width.)
(3) Similar point: could the annotations window remain open until it's closed by the user? If I select one book to import the window is automatically closed so I must reload all the annotations to select another book.
(4) My annotations show 'Unknown' instead of the book title. It is not clear how to change that. Also, it would be useful to make explicit the labels 'Highlight', 'Note' and 'Bookmark' as well as the location. These are in the clippings file but not added to the annotations although this is important information. Can this be done? (e.g. add further regex options).
[Note: this may already be possible but I can't see how to do it]
(5) A luxury item: it would be handy to have a 'save to text file' function on the annotations window (I realise that it has copy so that I can paste highlights into an application - but sometimes I need to do several at one sitting it would be just easier). However, this is a luxury item so not essential (unlike 2 - 4 above).
Overall this is a really useful plugin for a reader who keeps a lot of annotations and notes.
Thanks
