Auto import and auto export of markdown notes

[sallyruthstruik]

I'm using boostnote for desktop, and it is great app, thank you!
But on mobile devices boostnote-mobile unfortunately doesn't give me all features I need. So on mobile I prefer using another editors. But I faced such problem: boostnote stores notes in certain format which is not a markdown. So I need to export my notes after any edition on desktop, and import after any edition on mobile.

I suggest next feature: allow to bind files and folders to some locations and automatically import and export .md notes on save and load.

In details:

• for files should be "export path" setting, for example text input in here:
  
• for folders also should be "export path" setting, for example in Storages setting page
• On opening a note/folder, app should check whether current content and content in "export path" are not the same. If it isn't, app should suggest to user refresh note from exported path (or do it automatically?). After that note should be in "synced" state
• On saving note/folder with exported path, if it is in "synced" state, app should export note content to exported path. Otherwise state isn't "synced" app may give feedback to user using popup or so on giving ways to solve conflicts.

If you agree with me about usefulness of such feature, I'll be happy to try implementing it.

In addition, maybe it would be greater to store markdown text and metainformation in separated files? In such way it won't be necessary to implement this feature, because user'll be able to edit main markdown file

It is exactly what I am thinking too @sallyruthstruik - auto import / export of txt/md so to work with other programs.

would be great if there is a way to do this (new features or modification of existing code)!

Great idea!
Maybe we cann call a script so i can build my szenario:

• sync gitlab
• Auto Export / Import files
• sync gitlab

I would also like to see this feature implemented. I agree that storing markdown and metadata in separate files would allow better data portability.

The switching of file format that Boostnote uses is being discussed over here: #490
