In regards to the xml file that nSync generates on a soup dump from the
Notes app...
I've just tried to use OmniOutliner with the "Notes Soup.plist" file that
nSync created but OO just did the spinning wheel for many many minutes and
finally crashed. I don't know if it's because of the size of my plist
file (4.3 Meg) or what, I've sent an email off to OmniGroup about the
problem, but it doesn't look like OO will fit the bill for now.
The interface on Apple's P-List Editor is pretty bad, it doesn't even have
a search AFAICT.
So, does anyone else out there have a suggestion for an application that I
could use to turn that xml data into something easily browseable? I'm not
looking for sync'ing, I don't even necessarily want to edit it, just be
able to browse a large note file in some easy to use fashion (searching
and the like).
Thanks in advance.
-Rich

If you have the Developer Tools installed, the Property List Editor
application uses the XML file as its native format. OmniOutliner also
imports plist-formatted XML and formats it quite nicely.
There is a third party developer who's working on a Notes sync plug-in.
And I suspect that many more people will be building plug-ins once the
AppleScript API is finished (yes, you'll soon be able to make plug-ins
using AppleScript!) I think that plug-in will just sync to RTF files in
a folder.
