Jarnal savefile support
Brought to you by:

This came about because I moved to Xournal from Jarnal when the latter refused to start on Linux (I'm previously a Mac user) - And encountered the same issue when moving from Windows Journal to Jarnal on Mac OS X: Namely I can't read my old notefiles.
The Jarnal format is just an svg file for each page, plus a PDF background, and I think a short information file.
I can provide any necessary examples as I have a large backstock of Physics notes in Jarnal format.

Should be possible. (for Jarnal --- Windows Journal's format is just impossible to figure out). Added to the to-do list.

Hey aroux, hey andreas andreasb123 :)
Xournal rocks! I just tried xournal ++. It really rocks and brings many new features.
I like the feature to export my notes to svg. This makes things a lot better when thinking about the possibility to read the notes in 10 years or later.
I then played a bit around and thought that it would be great just to put all the generated svg-pages in one zip folder (what goes very easy with this command: find *.svg |zip zipfilename -@).
Concerning the general structure (zip with svg files stored in it) this seemed to be similar to the jarnal-file format.
So i tried it out, but in fact the jarnal-svg-files are a way more structured (there the lines are coded in numbers not in letters - i admit i don t know very much about it).
Since jarnal can open and edit its own jarnal files (with this great structure (zipped svg-files)) it would be really nice to see this in xournal ++ too.
To me it seem that the main routine to generate jarnal-files is coded in this java-file:

Yeah, it seem s to be not as easy to port this to c++
:/ But please do it
Please please please please...please... please!!
