To change font size automatically for many rtf notes is not a problem. Users with poorer eyesight need to do so. Currently, MarginNote rtf output relies on different fonts for contrast between the title and the text of the note. Three different fonts for each short highlight are, arguably, too many types.
Applying automatically the same size to MarginNote rtfs (not to mention if one wants to change font as well), results in poor contrast between the title and the text of the note. This low contrast is worsened by the fact that there is no double line break between them.
I find MarginNote output for DEVONthink far too difficult to read and I hope this issue can be solved.jmm

The new paging of notes according to pdf pages is great. However, since this update notes' names exported to DEVONthink end in 8-character unique identifiers: _B49CF67D, _B49CF67D, etc.
As I find those last characters add unnecessary clutter to file names, I have resorted to removing the last 9 characters of all notes exported from MarginNote with a file renamer.
As this behavior is not consistent with other export options available in MarginNote, nor with any other Mac app behavior, would it be possible for MarginNote not to add those last characters?

Great. This has been implemented as Export Notebook to DEVONthink.
I think it is essential that rtf file names are pre-appended with the pdf page numbers, starting at 0001. This way it is possible to arrange the rtfs in a meaningful order for skimmed reading, either in Devonthink or in Apple finder.

Exporting to rtf via Omnioutliner doesn’t solve the problem:
1. It doesn’t keep links to highlighted text in MarginNote pdfs. This is essential for convenient checks before referencing quotations.
2. It doesn’t transfer MarginNote tags to Apple tags and then to DevonThink tags. Therefore, tags remain locked within MarginNote.
3. Moreover, only short rtf files make sense in Devonthink. When researching in a specific field, long rtf files containing all nodes from a long book make Devonthink searches and AI useless.
4. Rtfs containing all nodes from a pdf make it impossible to pass from the reading stage of individual books within Marginnote to rearranging nodes from several books for the writing stage with Tinderbox.
I hope this makes sense. Thank you.

I can't see the point in changing the better tagging system of Devonthink and Tinderbox for thousands of my references, changing spaces for hyphens, ugly and inconvenient for mixing tags and text in searches. Therefore, I do need that MarginNote adopts this feature.

Surely the readability problem may not be apparent in Chinese or Cyrillic scripts, but I find it hard to cope with in Latin script.
Another improvement would be to optimize the interline spacing as well. Now it is close to single-line spacing: too tight, dense and hard to read. Something below 1.2 would contribute to increase the readability of MarginNote rtf files.
