I just bought the SE/CE package version. As far as I have used it for reading, I am delighted.

I have some questions concerning the export of notes from MapleRead. As I understand, I have only two options: Either to export them as .csv file or copy and paste them manually from the cloud. Is this right, or did I overlook other possibilities?

I am asking this question because I need to process my notes in other programs (note-taking apps): Most of my e-books are non-fictions with many highlights and notes. It is important for me to elaborate these notes to store it in my "second brain" (note-taking app) and to prepare them later to include in my articles and books as quotes with references.

For this reason, I need

* text files to elaborate on my notes and
* references to the source, preferentially as links.

I am using note-taking apps like Obsidian.md where I can store all my notes from an article or from books in a sequential order. Or even better: I can export my notes from my e-book reader to the note-taking app directly. Therefore, I require my notes as sequential text. Working with a .csv file is for my use case impractical.

It is also critical for me to have links to the original source of my notes, so I can reference them and inspect the context of my notes whenever it is necessary.

Is there a possibility or are there workarounds to do this in the current version of MapleRead? If not: Can I hope that these two features (export notes as text file / PDF / Markdown or as text via Clipboard and providing links to the highlight location) will be included into future releases of MapleRead?
