With different I mean the purposes a note and a text-document have.

A note (no matter what paper format) is often something I don't archive.
I throw it away if the date passed. Though some notes -- especially
those on a similar topic -- get fixed on a big paper by me and maybe
archived.

Yet in general notes are temporary for me. Changing the notes in the
plasmoid reflects that imo. For me it means "throwing" unused notes away
(deleting or overwriting the text) and replacing them with new ones.

And that's what I meant with "export to". These "notes" are not
temporary anymore, so changing the note in your plasmoid won't affect
the exported file.


Hmm, I guess I'll stop discussing about semantics in a language that is
not my mother's tounge, because the result could look frightening. :D
