Hello Christiaan, I’m very interested in this “syncable” notes feature, because syncing tools have caused some problems for me in the past. I don’t see much documentation of how the notes format has changed on the wiki, just explanations for hidden preferences, command-line switches, etc. So I have two questions:
1. Do you know whether syncable notes will work with other services besides iCloud? I primarily use Google Drive. 2. If we have existing files with legacy (non-syncable) notes, I’m guessing we’ll need to “manually" change the notes format to make them syncable. Is something like `skimnotes convert -s file.pdf` the best way to do this?
