Hello,
first of all, thank you for developing and maintaining xournal.
Sometimes
I need to batch export a few xoj files to pdf and I would like to save
some time by doing so from a bash script without having to open xournal
and use the menus.
I attach a small patch file that allows exporting using the following syntax:
xournal filname.xoj -e filename.pdf
If others find it useful, it might be worth including it into the next version
of xournal.
Best,
Luca
