Aura H2O Annotations to screenshot batch

Vgx · 03-24-2016, 09:47 AM

Hi everyone. I was wondering would it be possible to write a user-friendly script / patch / mode that would basically make screenshots out of each annotation in a book. I take a lot of annotations for future references and doing it manually is a pain in the ass, especially when you have to sacrifice the power button as a screenshot trigger. The script would read the annotation position, go to corresponding page/location and take a screenshot, then move to the next annotation and so on.

Is this even possible? Thanks.

That does sound an ugly way to do this. But, I don't know if what you describe would be possible. The navigation is in nickel and I can't think of a way to do this.

But, there are several ways extract the annotations. These all create text copies of the annotations. I describe most of them here. If the purpose is to get the surrounding text as well as the actually annotated test, you probably want to look at Kobo annotation exporter.
