To be able to show Timeline data in a spreadsheet program, you have to build your own xml transformer function to create a csv file.

Users have been asking for a feature to be able to export data to a csv file directly from within Timeline.

There have also been requests for exporting to other formats such as:

  • A list of events in a listbox
  • Printouts of Timeline data
  • Better support for image exports
  • Export to Word
  • And other formats

    Suggested solution: Build an exporter as described in the Howtos.

      What Howtos are you referring to?

    To be able to select which data to export I think we should create a selection dialog where the user can select what to export (events and/or categories) and which object attributes to export (name, text, time-period etc.)

    Look at the BitmapExporter as an example.
    I'm working on a howto for building dialogs. A dialog class shall not contain any business logic. The business logic shall be placed in a 'controller' class that is instantiated by the dialog class and knows about the dialog as a view. The reason for this is to make testing of dialog logic possible.

    Export to csv and 'A list of events in a listbox' are implemented in version 1.6.0.
