Has anyone experienced "Export Failed: The file is corrupted and cannot be opened" when exporting .note files to PDF via the Partner app on Mac?

I'm on a Manta (A5 X2), latest firmware. Files sync fine via Supernote Cloud and display correctly in the Partner app (EXPORT > Manta), but every file fails when I try to export as PDF. All four files I've tested produce the same error — sizes range from 570 KB to 1.4 MB.

I also tried supernote-tool (supernotelib 0.7.0) as a workaround for batch conversion, but it throws UnsupportedFileFormat — the .note format version is 20260016, which the library doesn't recognize yet.

Anyone else hitting this with recent firmware? Open to workarounds — especially anything that supports bulk .note → PDF conversion without doing it one-by-one on the device.

Plug-in support needed

Hey, building a third-party plugin. Can anyone confirm whether expandMenuItem: 1 in registerButton() actually places a plugin button directly in the main toolbar (not the plugin submenu) on current Chauvet firmware? Testing on Manta 3.27.42 beta and it still appears in the submenu. Any workarounds known?

A free custom skill for Claude (download on Github) that acts as a knowledgeable Supernote specialist. Instead of generic e-ink answers, you get responses grounded in real device knowledge and community experience from r/Supernote.

What Mulan knows

  • All Supernote devices — Manta, Nomad, A5 X, A6 X — including how they differ
  • Full pen and folio ecosystem with device-specific recommendations
  • Chauvet OS, firmware versions, stable vs. beta, what landed when
  • Workflows — journaling, reading/annotation, meeting notes, research, sketching, PKM integration
  • Templates and InkHub — finding them, importing them, PDF vs. native tradeoffs
  • GitHub tools — supernote-tool, Obsidian plugin, sideloading, .note conversion
  • Troubleshooting — battery, sync, OCR, FeelWrite break-in, WebDAV, sideloading errors
  • Honest buyer's guide mode — including when a Supernote is the wrong device
  • Community wisdom from r/Supernote — the stuff that only comes from actually using one

Keeping Mulan current

Type "update Mulan skill" at any time and she'll search the official Supernote changelog, r/Supernote, and GitHub for what's changed — then show you exactly what she wants to update before touching anything.

Supernote please address the inconsistency of the lasso gesture. It's a real friction point when in flow state. Side note, I created a Supernote skill for Claude named "Mulan". Its grounded in the manual, Reddit, and plug-in architecture/dev. Mulan's skill extends beyond Reddit!!
