Export favorites list

Closed this issue · 12 comments

Let's make sure we save the favorite clips data in a format that can be used elsewhere (or exported). If someone uses this app for many hours to hand-create clips that matter, we don't want to lose their data. Maybe we at least save a CSV file to their phone. Something like this (which I had made for myself):

@tedbarnett Can you please give me permission to access the google docs link? I'm not able to access it. This is my email: bhautikpatoliyalive@gmail.com

Just granted permission!

@tedbarnett Thanks.
It seems that there are a 4 columns inside CSV file. Can you please explain 2nd and 3rd column?

@tedbarnett It seems that there are a 4 columns inside CSV file. Can you please explain 2nd and 3rd column? And which fields we need to show in the exported CSV?

I added a title row to the CSV file above. The columns are:

  • Video file name (source)
  • Start position of clip (in seconds)
  • Title for clip
  • Date of video (read from original file I think - maybe ignore for now)

Where is this file saved?

@tedbarnett Currently, I’ve open the share sheet with the created file. Didn’t saved anywhere. Do we need to save it? And where?

Could we add a setting to "export favorites list" that lets users send the csv to themselves?

@tedbarnett Yes we can add. Do I need to add it as a menu option main panel screen?

You already have a Settings menu item. Can this just reside on that panel (the only item for now)?

@tedbarnett Do you mean to show Export option when click on setting?

Yes. Click on settings, a settings dialog appears. Only one item on it (so far). A share icon with this label:
