Exporting list as OPML, and reimporting it seems to loose line breaks for multiline notes.

Exporting list as OPML, and reimporting it seems to loose line breaks for multiline notes. Everything in a note is displayed on a single line after reimport.
Or am I doing something wrong?

Best regards!

    Hello Paul,

    I just tried to reproduce it and it worked as expected, i.e. the line breaks are preserved. Could you probably give some more details, maybe URL of the list and exact sequence of your actions?

    Thanks!

    Thanks for fast reply.

    I simply select "more actions" then "export all" then OPML and make sure
    that notes are checked. Subsequently i pressed the "copy and close" button.
    After your reply i tried using ctrl-c instead of the button and it actually
    worked, the escape swquences for chars 10 and 13 were now included in
    copied text and reimport preserved the line breaks, so I'm happy!

    But try using the copy and close gui button and I think the problem may be
    reproduced, otherwise its something at my end, but i got the same on both
    my win 10 computer with firefox and android tablet with chrome.

    As for reimport, i create new list, press enter in default title, then
    click on the import data link below the title and paste the text into the
    window that pops up.

    Great outliner btw, I love it!

    Best regards,
    Paul

    Hello Paul,

    Thanks for more details! I believe I've fixed the issue, the fix is available on beta.checkvist.com - Checkvist: Online outliner and task manager for geeks site. I hope we'll update the main production server this week.

    Thanks again!

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.  What I feel is missing is more use cases.  How are people using Checkvist?  What are some recommend workflows?  How many lists do you have? User Stories will not only help those of use already using Checkvist to be more effective, but attract more non-technical customers. I like to keep my lists at a minimum.  I only split out for sharing but I'd prefer not to. Here are my lists: * Inbox:  This is where zapier based integrations go.  I have Jira tickets and emails tagged with "!action" going to list which I process daily. * The List:  This is my primary list.  Everything is here.  I use sub-nodes for different areas. * Honey Do:  This is the list my wife and I share to make sure we know what we both want done around the house. * "Client Project" - I have a few Lists I share with clients (Free lance web developer). I"m looking to write a more detailed blog post. How are your l...

Hello friends

Hello friends, We are considering to change behaviour of move up/down command using ctrl+arrows for lists with hierarchy. The new approach is available on our beta site, https://beta.checkvist.com . Could you please try it out and tell us what you think? Thanks! https://beta.checkvist.com

Hello friends!

Hello friends! I'd like to ask for your opinion regarding multi-line text editing. This suggestion comes from one of our Russian-speaking customers Dolina Zamkova so here is a translated abstract of our email conversation. Current problem: When you write multi-line text, you must press 'Shift-Enter' first, then use 'Enter' to start a new line, then 'Ctrl-Enter' to submit the text. Wouldn't it be easier to have a setting that will allow using Enter to always write multi-line texts, and always submit on 'Ctrl-Enter', like you do it in text messengers? So we could add a new account-wide setting, on the Settings page: () Finish editing by pressing 'Ctrl-Enter' (convenient for multi-line text) What do you think? Do you write multi-line texts in Checkvist at all? Other thoughts of how we could make it better? :)
