Export multiple notes #490

It would be great if it were possible to select multiple notes to export to PDF, instead of exporting them one at a time.
Similarly it would be great if multiple notes could be concatenated into a single note and exported to PDF.

Thank you for your suggestion, but you don't have to rely on QON to do this. Since the notes are simple markdown files you could use http://pandoc.org/ to achieve the same result.

Maybe "just" scripting the generation of the good command line for pandoc ? It will be enought for basic usage in command line. Just an idea.

Main challenge is making comfortable UI. Such UI would require QtQuick, so it would be hard to use it on OS other than Linux. And it's quite a lot of work.
It can also be implemented with simple custom action buttons, but that would feel ankward and geeky.

I understand. I'am linux user but it's may be serious limitation for others users with QtQuick.
