1 year ago Hi Tim, sorry you are having this issue! It is frustrating for sure.
I was able to replicate your issue in Powershell. Can you try specifying the file argument (-f or --file) without the equals sign? So instead of
PS C:\Downloads\Application Groups\com.apple.notes> apple-notes-liberator -j -f=Notes.sqlitetry
PS C:\Downloads\Application Groups\com.apple.notes> apple-notes-liberator -j -f Notes.sqliteI don't know much about powershell but it seems that the equals sign is tripping up the command-line argument parsing. Let me know if this works for you. In any case, I'll take a closer look at the library I'm using to parse command-line arguments and make sure I'm doing it properly and look into whether or not it is possible to support accepting command-line arguments with an equals sign in powershell with that library.
Passing the argument with or without an equals sign works in zsh or terminal, but seems to only work without an equals sign in Powershell. This does make the usage snippet about the file argument confusing if you are using powershell. Perhaps the usage output can be updated.

I feel very defeated - it seems as if I should be able to figure it out, but I can't seem to get the command line right to pass the necessary arguments to either the JBang or the plain .jar file installation.
With the JBang installation, I've tried several different permutations of the following as the command line (Windows PowerShell v7.3.4.0):
Which gives me an error: "Unmatched argument at index 2: '.sqlite'", followed by the usage statement.
With the .jar file installation, I've tried several different variations on:
Which results in the error: "Cannot automatically find notes database, you will have to manually provide the file path via the -f (--file) option.", NOT followed by the usage statement.
What am I doing wrong?
