Zim

Diary month/week summary - wishlist

Asked by Dz.

Hi, thanks for excellent tool. I have a suggestion to enhance export capability of Zim. I use it mainly to pen down the work progress = work diary. Once a month I need to make a report. Would it be possible to include "Export month" and "Export week" procedures? The function would concatenate all the days' remarks in given period and export them to web browser. For now, I do it manually, "cat"-ing all *.txt to one file, but automating the process would be nice.
Regards, Dz.

Sounds like this would be a good use case to extend the export dialog to
allow export of a set of pages to a single document.

Please turn the question into a bug report - we use bug tickets to track
feature requests.

P.S. if you write a small script to do the "cat"-ting you can add it to the
zim toolbar using the "Tools"->"Custom Tool".
