Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm frustrated that there is no straightforward way to export individual notes or multiple notes as plain text files. Currently, notes can only be backed up as a database file or copied to clipboard, but the system clipboard has length limitations that make it impractical for exporting long notes.

Describe the solution you'd like

  1. Add an "Export as TXT/MD" option in the "⋮" menu on the note viewing page for single note export
  2. Add a "Batch Export as TXT/MD" option in the menu on the notes selection view for exporting multiple selected notes

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Using the clipboard copy function, but this is limited by clipboard size constraints for long notes
  • Database backup, but this requires additional tools to extract individual notes and is not user-friendly for sharing specific notes

Additional context
As a FOSS application that already supports importing TXT/MD files, adding export functionality would complete the workflow and make the app more versatile for users who need to share or backup their notes in standard text formats.
