Request: Zero change files
robdejonge opened this issue · comments
At the moment, evernote-backup writes the exported files with an export-date in one of the first lines. Both in notebook export as well as the --single-notes version. Obviously, the value of this field changes the content of the file. This triggers backup software to either backup the entire file or chunks of it.
I have for now removed the field from line 20 of note_exporter.py, but obviously this is not a sustainable option.
I was wondering if it would be possible to offer a command-line option --no-export-date to the export function of the program.
Done. Please check out the new version.
Previously, each day would add 270MB to my backup volume even with no changes to Evernote made.
With this feature implemented, each day adds just 6KB in metadata for the new revision.
Thank you for implementing this!
