Opslagruimte
There are multiple ways of storing notes in Butterfly. Either by using your device storage, or by using the cloud storage (WebDAV).
Data directory
Section titled “Data directory”The data directory is the directory where documents, templates, and packs are stored.
On desktop you can find it in ~/Documents/Linwood/Butterfly.
Op mobiel is het in getExternalFilesDir(null)/Linwood/Butterfly.
U kunt het ook wijzigen in de instellingen onder Data.
In deze map vindt u de map Documenten, Templates en Packs.
De applicatiegegevens worden opgeslagen in uw browser. Het wordt opgeslagen in een lokale opslag. Open de ontwikkelaarshulpmiddelen in uw browser en u zult de gegevens zien.
Oorspronkelijke platformen
Section titled “Oorspronkelijke platformen”By default, the application saves the data in your documents folder in a subfolder called “Linwood/Butterfly”. This folder is created when you save data for the first time. Deze map kan worden gewijzigd in de instellingen.
Externe opslag
Section titled “Externe opslag”The application data can be stored on a remote server. Dit is handig als je de gegevens wilt delen met andere mensen of als je meerdere computers hebt. Momenteel wordt alleen het WebDAV protocol ondersteund.
Om een externe server toe te voegen, ga naar instellingen en klik op Remotes. Klik vervolgens op Voeg remote toe. Klik vervolgens op Voeg remote toe.
Voeg de URL van de externe server en de gebruikersnaam en het wachtwoord toe. Daarna kunt u de map opgeven waar de gegevens worden opgeslagen.
To get the WebDAV URL, please visit the documentation:
Nextcloud (it should look like this: https://nextcloud.example.com/remote.php/dav/files/username/, replace username and nextcloud.example.com with the correct values)

Andere opslagmethoden
Section titled “Andere opslagmethoden”Als je op een native apparaat bent, kun je ook de applicatiemap synchroniseren met je favoriete platform. Google Drive has an official app on Windows and there are unofficial ones on the Play Store. On Linux you can also use the native remote storage system and change your data directory to this or add a new external storage if you click on the add connection button.
Supported file types
Section titled “Supported file types”Butterfly supports importing SVG, Butterfly Note (.bfly), Butterfly Raw Note (.tbfly).
Butterfly Note (.bfly)
Section titled “Butterfly Note (.bfly)”This file type is the recommended format for saving notes.
It is a zip archive containing the information (mostly in JSON files) about the note. These included JSON files aren’t optimized to be readable by a human in its raw form.
Butterfly Raw Note (.tbfly)
Section titled “Butterfly Raw Note (.tbfly)”This file is recommended for use with version control software like git.
This file is not a zip archive; instead it is a JSON file. It contains all the information about the note in a single JSON file that is optimized for being readable and nicely formatted. It is slower to load than the normal Butterfly Note.
This file type doesn’t save information about the note! When this file is imported into Butterfly, it is treated as a single image.
Use this ONLY when the note shouldn’t be modified by Butterfly.
