[export] The correct command syntax for exporting note as jex format?

Support
1

The document said:

export <path>
...
--format Destination format: jex (Joplin Export File), raw
(Joplin Export Directory), md (Markdown)
--note Exports only the given note.
--notebook Exports only the given notebook.

So i tried:

~/.joplin-bin/bin/joplin-terminal export ./exported_dir --note x-ray-pulsar-space-navigation..2018-01-12T21.31.54 --format jex

Then got the error:
Path is a directory: ./exported_dir

Joplin works fine if I change the format from jex to md.

Does that mean I shouldn't export the note to a directory with the jex format? Or is something else wrong?

you want to export a file so provide a complet path to this one

joplin --profile ~/.config/joplin-desktop/ export ~/Downloads/code_projet.jex "Codes Projet" --format jex

or

joplin --profile ~/.config/joplin-desktop/ export ~/Downloads/code_projet.jex --note "Codes Projet" --format jex
ls ~/Downloads
code_projet.jex

Hmm, I don’t understand. What happens if there are 2 notes with the same name? Somehow this makes no sense.

Don't know :slight_smile:
It should be better to use the note id

Does this mean you can use the id or not? Or are you saying it should be supported in the future?

6

you can use id for sure, and I think it’s the best way to avoid this kind of behavior.

or perhaps “id with partial note name”?

Besides, what will happen if a user exports a bunch of files? So to enter the file names one by one?
