doc/docx/odt - save highlights inside the file (as with pdf)
Hi, I have been exploring different options to be able to highlight files back and forth both on my ereader running koreader and on my windows pc, but to date none are fully satisfactory:
- annotations made with koreader on epub files are stored in the sdr folder, which, unless I am mistaken, no other app can use (would be great if calibre viewer could!), and there is currently no koreader port for windows. I know I can use an android emulator or the linux version through wsl, but these are cumbersome/heavy/unstable setups for using on a permanent basis.
-highlighting pdfs in koreader is the most intuitive solution, but unfortunately some serious bugs (for which I have opened tickets on github) still exist, which apparently don't seem easy to fix.
In the light of this, I was wondering whether it would be possible to use the doc/docx (or even odt??) standard format to be able to highlight files on both koreader and windows. Since koreader is already capable of opening and annotating these file formats, would it be possible to have an option to save the highlights inside the file - just as we already have with pdf files - in order to be able to view them later on in any office app? Maybe it would be possible to integrate some sort of libreoffice component to run inside koreader or a plugin to be able to edit the files?? I am not a developer, just a user, so maybe this doesn't make any sense at all or is too difficult to implement...
If this isn't possible, could we at least have an updated koreader windows port to complete the app's availability across platforms and have the peace of the mind of knowing that we can access the result of our hard work annotating files in any environment we need?
A big thanks to all who contribute to this most useful project.
