I used to be able to do this on my Onyx Boox note:

With Neoreader2.0 highlight and annotate a pdf
Automate export to my computer via DropSync
Get a single .txt file (in a folder) with all highlights and annotations from each pdf (and I had a script to clean it up, too!)

Now after a device repair and reset, I've set up Dropsync to export (upload only) selecting the name inclusion patterns "*.txt" and "**exported**"

However, it is now producing and exporting a *one .txt file per comment*. I don't want to have to write a script to merge these.

(I know I can go to the directory and terminal and run the script/command
`cat *.txt > newfile.md'` but I'd rather not.

Anyone know how to get back that 'single .txt file'?
