Details

The exporter was internally reworked to use substitution variables, opening the way for user-customizable export formats.

This release also marks over a year of AVATeR, but that is a story for another time...

Full changelog (.txt) including previous versions.

Changes

• Improved: HTML export
  Visual lay-out was improved, and annotation colors are now shown. The HTML source includes CSS classes for manual/future styling.

• Improved: CSV export
  Additional columns are exported with date and color information. The date string now follows a generic format (European day-month-year; i.e. 21-07-2022 21:02:23).
  
  The current headers are: DateRaw;Date;Author;Title;Page;Highlights;Notes;Color;ColorHTML. Where DateRaw is the epoch date (if available), Date its string notation, and ColorHTML the hex RGB color notation.

• Improved: set debugmode from GUI, added logfile option to CLI
  The debugmode (to either stdout or file), can now be set from the GUI prefs as well. A CLI logfile option was added also.
  Note: CLI arguments take precedence over (GUI) preference settings (and disabling the latter).

• Added: Raw SQL export option
  Exports raw SQL data for selected annotations, useful for debugging purposes. Enable by using either debug mode (stdout/file). This is an experimental feature.

• Windows: updated libraries
  Windows Qt libraries were updated from 6.2.1 to 6.2.4 (LTS).

• Minor changes Annotion colors now use RGB (no transparancy); button/field heights were made more uniform

Future changes

The intention is to make the next release v1.0. Interesting topics include sorting exports using color within titles, and implementing profile selection.
