Exporting comments field?
Hello,

when you add notes to a tag or author etc. you can export this notes, which are in html format. This is very useful.
Can you add a same button for exporting the "Comments" notes?

Happy new year, Maria!

You can export all book metadata including comments as a catalog in ebook format. Right click the convert books button and choose create catalog.

The logical place to have this would be in the Manage categories (Authors/Tags/Publishers etc) dialogues, but as far as I know there's no export or list option.

FYI: Category notes are kept in a separate database, which is in a hidden sub-folder (.calnotes) with the library folder.
