Export / Print Dropbox Replay Comments

[avideomakr]

For Dropbox Replay to actually be useful, it's important for video makers like myself to have the ability to export and print comments left. Exporting to CSV is great when building preserving a record of the revisions notes in case the end clients need clarification. Printing comments are great in the event you need to sort and print the comments to shoot additional content.

Hello there! We have added the ability to export comments. You can find the export button in the comments pane. Thanks for using Replay!

This is an example of the current export format:

comment	author	timecode	timestamp	version	resolved
Right hand looks backward or upside down. Either flip or curve fingers down instead of up.	Sean	1.444189	"2022-03-17T18:38:57.000Z"	1	FALSE
Hands need to have different shade or outline to differentiate from face and neck.	Sean	1.473333	"2022-03-17T18:40:39.000Z"	1	FALSE
Color of the shelf board here is too close to the wall color and tends to disappear, especially in the wider scenes.	Sean	3.63105	"2022-03-17T19:05:23.000Z"	1	FALSE
Character walk cycle feels a little awkward, a bit like hobbling.  Straightening character back would help, I think.	Sean	12.04	"2022-03-17T18:43:38.000Z"	1	FALSE

Could we get the exported file sorted by the video timecode rather than the time the comment was added? (I have already sorted the example above.)

Could we get the timecode in the same format as is shown in the comments list rather than as a decimal of frames?  For those who want to convert to timecode in the meantime, the following spreadsheet formula might help, assuming the decimal of frames value is in A2: 

=CONCAT(TEXT(QUOTIENT(A2,60),"00"),":",TEXT(TRUNC(MOD(A2,60)),"00"),":",TEXT(TRUNC(30*(A2-(TRUNC(A2)))),"00"))

Could we change the column order to something closer to version, timecode, comment, author.

Here is an example of what I think would work better for my users to work with:

version	timecode	comment	author
1	00:01:13	Right hand looks backward or upside down. Either flip or curve fingers down instead of up.	Sean
1	00:01:14	Hands need to have different shade or outline to differentiate from face and neck.	Sean
1	00:03:18	Color of the shelf board here is too close to the wall color and tends to disappear, especially in the wider scenes.	Sean
1	00:12:01	Character walk cycle feels a little awkward, a bit like hobbling.  Straightening character back would help, I think.	Sean

Thank you!

Has the function of exporting the comments disappeared again? I can't find it anymore? 

[Ted C.2]

@mostlymatthias  It just disappeared for me, after seeing it just an hour ago.  Then I refreshed my browser, and it camer back.
