Towards a sync between scrivener and Remarkable2
This repository contains two powerful Python scripts for writers and developers working with Scrivener and text-based systems. ScribOPML2TextsFolders_Converter.py and Text2ScribOPML_Converter.py facilitate the conversion between Scrivener's OPML format and a structured text format, enabling a seamless transition between different writing environments.
- 1.1 Pitfalls:
- 1.1.1 when inported back it creates the draft structure, but for the non-draft, research and trash folders, they are wrongly located to INSIDE the draft tree.
- 1.1.2 when inported back it creates the draft structure, but duplicates it. In theory the draft tree could be deleted, and just keep working with the one imported from text-2-scrib-opml
- 2.1 Solve 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 Meanwhile, deleting manually is not hard. The most important bit, the draft structure is kept.
- 3.1 Integrate both scripts into separate modules and a main
- 3.2 POC to edit the textfiles from Remarkable, manually drag and droping from folder to remarkable desktop.
- 3.3 POC to do 3.2 automatically.
- Python 3.x: Ensure Python is installed on your system. It can be downloaded from Python's official website.
- Libraries: xml.etree.ElementTree, os, logging, tkinter
- Scrivener: The scripts have been tested with Scrivener 3.0.3 for Windows. It has not been tested on Mac OS.
The scripts do not require additional installations apart from Python. Simply clone or download this repository to your local machine.
