Make it possible to archive Notes for books

[warpok]

Our bibledit-cloud server may soon run out of space because we have so many notes. Our notes can be quite long because they include some lengthy quotes from commentaries, and also some lengthy discussions between our team members. When a book passes the consultant check, I would like to archive the notes before deleting them. And preferably, I would like to archive them in a viewable format. That way, when someone asks, "However did you come up with your unique translation of ...", we might be able to answer them.

I would think that others would like to keep such notes after a project is finished.

Thanks for listening!

The user already can archive selected notes, in viewable format, through Bibledit.

This is how to do it.

1. Go to menu Translate - Notes.
2. Click [select] and make the selection of notes to archive.
3. Also tick the option Text inclusion: Include the note text.
4. Click Display the notes list.

As a result, there will now be a list of notes, plus all notes contents, on the screen, in the browser.

1. Then in the browser select the "Print" function and export all notes to PDF.
2. Alternatively export the web page from the browser into html format.

In both cases the notes will now be readable and can be consulted later.

This works great. Thanks for telling me how to do this. Perfect solution.

When I saved the Genesis notes, it appears that the notes are in verse order, as I expected. But now when I try to save the notes for Exodus, the entries seem to be in random order, starting with Ex. 10:10.

I can't find a setting that would put the notes displayed back in order. I shifted the book to Deuteronomy, and again the list starts with chapter 10. I wonder if 144 pages of notes is too much for my computer to handle.

Thinking of the memory problem, I checked the display of notes in some shorter books of the NT. They were in order. But going to Zechariah, the order is off again.

This issue is about archiving notes.

About sorting notes, this has been discussed in https://github.com/bibledit/cloud/issues/667.

OK. I had totally forgotten. At any rate, one can always find a note by typing in the chapter:verse. So we don't need them sorted. Thanks!
