So Export annotate should be able to do same procedure and export the medatada information to this folder. By this way only one metadata will belong to one pdf file. Original pdf with the metadata may remain to the parent folder and medata is shared with the all documents or pdf is moved to the new created folder (even better).
Benefits of the xournal is obvious: straight lines, more bw colours, circles, squares, more erasable options....
OK I see how this can be implemented 'risk-free'. But I still do not see the benifit of exporting to a metadata.db file? Do you want to annotate a file both with xournal and the native application? Are there any extra benifits of having a metadata.db file? You would loose the text that you added in xournal since there is no (easy) way to get it into the metadata.db file, maybe also some other parts can not be translated. Please help me to figure out the added value of this feature.
