Both are drag-and-drop operations.

Or, as I do, I have symlinked /home/user/.conboy to a FAT partition.
Advantage: reflashing does not erase notes.
Thanks for that. Much appreciated.

Since we do not have anyway to sync Conboy .note files to a PC or Mac, it would be really great to have a very easy way to export or copy them over, short of having a "share via service" method.

If I symlink the conboy folder, it is still hidden, and still can't be seen by a PC, for example. Isn't that correct? Other Maemo note apps let you export your note to any directory, including an SD card. How hard would it be to export or even copy those Conboy .note files (.XML) to a non-hidden directory? Wouldn't that simplify things a lot, and possibly obviate the need for direct syncing to your desktop?
