I’d very much like to do a CSV or JSON export of just the items that pass the current filter set, but when I export, I see that everything is dumped into the file. Is there a way to do a filtered export? It would be extraordinarily useful for me.
If you haven’t found a corresponding option, your version of Aeon probably can’t do that. If I were the developer of the application, I would also separate the display from the data export. Then the data export can be part of a workflow with predictable results, regardless of how the user has organized the screen at the moment. Of course, this can be seen as an advantage or a disadvantage, depending on the situation.
But that shouldn’t be a problem if you know a little bit about programming. After all, a CSV file is nothing more than a text file that can be read line by line using virtually any programming language, and then the lines that meet the filter criteria can be written to a new CSV file. As far as the filter criteria are concerned, you then have maximum flexibility.

Yeah I’ll probably give that a shot. It’s worth writing a script for that. I’ll just have to figure out its structural components. I was just hoping there was an inbuilt way to do it rather than have to do software dev to get it. haha
In version 3.5, you’ll be able to filter the spreadsheet view and export only what is shown, instead of the entire file.
You’ll also be able to customize which item types the spreadsheet contains, giving you further control over what can be exported.
No need for any scripts

Wow I love that idea. What’s the latest news regarding the rough ETA for version 3.5?
I did a test, manually removing event rows from the full CSV output and feeding them into ChatGPT for analysis. On its own, it began sharing observations related to plausibility. There was this really cool moment where it realized I was interleaving events simultaneously in the timeline, just based on the timestamps.
This has the potential to be a seriously powerful story analysis tool when coupled with filtered AT3 output. That will be very important to me as I build my saga going forward.
We’re planning to launch the public version of 3.5 in the next couple of weeks, so not long now!
