Holly Molly!
That's the future I dreamed about: the gap between my passion for handwritten notes and a need in a neat structured typed text is rapidly closing!

Thanks so much for this! Looking forward to working with this more and figuring out the keyword aspect.. Got it all installed quite easily following your directions. I can see this opening up all kinds of features.

Loving this and trying it out. Need to rewatch portions of this, especially the keywords, but I did get it all installed and backed up. I like the idea of amother backup, especially this robust. Thanks!

Hi, I get this errore when i launch "python setup_venv.py": ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pywin32==306 (from versions: 307, 308)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for pywin32==306
What should I check?

Despite the error below, I tried to go the following steps. On clicking the Supernote icon which opens the Terminal, I get the following message:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fitz' It seems PySN didn't even recognize my Supernote device (an A5X) though it is on a USB port and also on the local network.

Great software! The only thing that does not work for me is the ks-keyword option to send files to specific folders. Inserting the ks-copy-cloud keyword into a note always results in a keyword error message when running pysn.exe. The contents of the copy-cloud.json file has been adjusted so that it points to the correct folder. There must be something that I'm doing wrong...
