I've spent literally thousands of hours taking notes on my e-Sword Android device, and was hoping there was a way to share them with my PC version of the program, and I cannot seem to find a way to do this? I generally save my .notx Note file on a cloud, so if something happens to my phone, I have a backup. But is there a way I can transfer these files to the PC version, as the two almost seem completely incompatible? 

 

If not, is there a way that you can convert just your notes from the program in the Android version to some sort of a word document, so as to preserve them?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I tried several different ways, and the only thing I could find that works is:

 

1. Do a backup user files in e-Sword Android.

2. Transfer the study.noti file e-Sword just created to your PC

3. Read the file into e-Sword ToolTip Tool

4. Save it under the name you want in your user files folder as a notx file, with the unique name you want.

 

Side note: I found that any text on the same line after the verse reference in the ToolTip Tool (ie. ÷Rom 8:28) will not display in e-Sword after the conversion. That text will have to be moved to a new line.

You do not need to convert the note files for PC use!

Starting with version 11 of e-Sword for Windows the program and read both Windows format modules and Android/Apple/Mac. The only thing that needs to be done is renaming the file so the file name does not conflict with existing note files

You know, I tried that. And E-Sword PC didn't recognize the noti file.

In reply to the above, which sounds very promising, and I really hope it works; but, what do you mean by 'read the file' into ESword ToolTip?

I just downloaded that program for the first time, and tried to open my .notx file but it seems that it does not recognize it? Any thoughts? Thanks for what you have already suggested!

Sorry, as I'm new to forums, and my reply got mashed up with your original message that I wanted to reply to!

[mpjacobsson]

Oh, sorry, I think its a .noti file?

[mpjacobsson]

Hey, I just figured it out, that's amazing! I'm so happy, because I spent so much time making my notes, and did not want to lose them. THANK YOU so much.

Now, I only wish that there was a way to transfer my android notes to my pc version!
