Request: Export out of Joplin

[sunjam]

I can find no way to export from the current Joplin release 0.10.39

How do I export and download the attachments in a note, such as pictures or audio files?
How do I access the data inside the Joplin sqlite database hidden folder?

While changing layouts I can see information about the files attached to each note, but I cannot actually access that data directly.

Which version (desktop, cli or mobile)?

I'm using MacOS desktop.

Currently export is supported in the CLI tool (export command), otherwise in the desktop app, go into the Options screen and at the top you'll see where your profile is located. In this profile directory, there's a "resources" folder with all your files and attachments.

Resources in general are meant to be attached to notes so there's not really a UI to manage them (i.e. nothing to view the list of resources with original filename, title, etc.). I might add something like this later on or someone could do a pull request since it's relatively straightforward to implement.

It would be nice to be able to do an export (to say a folder of Markdown files) directly from within the application. In particular this provides reassurence that the data is easily extractable in future.

Out of interest, if on Windows I install the CLI, will the export command there be able to export my notes from the desktop application?
