How to convert LQM file to TXT file?

[AC Question]

I copied a LQM file to my computer. How to convert LQM file to TXT file?

I am also looking for that. Strange to have a file format that can not be read on other platforms like a Pc.
But I have found that Lqm files is Zip files, try and rename or add to the filename " .zip " now you can unpack, but the txt is is wrapped up in a strange way, (I dont remember what that format is called)

Given the hint that the file was a zip file, I solved this issue by running the lqm file through Universal Extractor.
It created a folder that included a file named: memoinfo.jlqm
I copied that file and renamed it to a .txt file
This I opened with notepad and the text of the note was buried in the meta data and formatting..

You, my friend, have saved me! Thank you very much!

I read that it's JSON. I followed your leads and I can see the text content in the DescRaw field, but how were you able to convert multiple files? I have probably 300 notes to convert. Thanks.

If you want to edit the text on your computer, you can just open the note in Quickmemo itself on your mobile phone, and then click "share" instead of "export" to LQM. You will get 4 options to choose from:
- Quickmemo file ("LQM")
- Text and image
- Image file
- Pdf file
Choose the second option ("Text and image"), then your e-mail adress, and mail it to yourself.
Open your e-mail, copy the text from your new e-mail message, and paste it in the text editor of your choice.

Universal Extractor, for the same result (Actual text content buried within metadata), is not necessary to download. For that same result simply replace .lqm with .txt.

This is what I did:

1. Pair your new cellphone with the old one via bluetooth.
2. Select all text in the lqm file and share with the new one.
3. Open in your new cell the bluetooth share content file with the standard android html reader.
4. Select all text and Copy.
5. Open your new notes app (I use Write Now!) and Paste.
6. You are all set!

I was just sent one of these. I opened it up by saving to my Google Drive, unzipping it, and opening the jpg located in the images directory that was extracted. To make things easier next time, slap the person sending you notes using the proprietary format at yell ... NO! Bad man!!
