Export Option for OPML

I was hoping that Logos might consider adding an export/save option for notes to an OPML format. I use an outlining app extensively and would love to be able to export notes that I could then import in that app. Actually, I do not use notes much in Logos because I have a couple of different apps I using in study and sermon prep in which I exchange information through the OPML format. Though, I am wanting to integrate Logos notes into that workflow more, but that limitation keeps me from making the investment. Unless, of course, I have missed something and there is a way.

Thanks for the consideration.

    Hmmm, I thought surely there would be a few out there that might like to be able to export notes for import to an outlining program, a mind map program, or the wonderful writing tool Scrivener.

    I use Scrivener and a mind mapping application, moving OPML files between the two, but I don't tend to use Notes in Logos for sermon preparation, or for producing academic papers. I tend to use Word for sermons, and Scrivener for academic papers or building a teaching series. My normal workflow, though, is to use the mind mapping app to produce my initial brainstorm and outline, then to order that and import it into Scrivener as an OPML file, so I've never found a need within my workflow to be able to transfer an OPML file into or out go Logos. I can see a use case for wanting to export a Notes file to Scrivener or OmniOutliner, but am not sure it's something that a lot of users on here would regard as a priority. One way of testing that would be to put it on Uservoice (logos.uservoice.com) and see if the suggestion attracts any votes. 

    My own view is that it's one of those things that could be useful, but probably isn't the highest of priorities at the moment, but I might well be wrong!
