Easy export of notes? Drag and drop?
I have some notes in Zotero for several hundred items. I'd like to export them instead as .txt (or similar) files. I can do this manually, but it would save time if I could just drag and drop to a folder where my item is stored.
Currently (on a Mac) if I drag and drop I get a "XXXXX.textClipping" version of the note, which even if renamed to .txt ends up with formatting information I don't need. I can view the 'textClipping' format in a special window but I'd rather just have a .txt or other standard format.
Ideas?

Then I think looking at which export format (RIS? CSV?) includes notes' full text with little else might be the best option -- I don't know that off hand.
I'd like to save each of them individually to a different location.
(Specifics: I have a unique folder for each of my references, and I'm currently "retiring" a bunch of old notes in Zotero that are no longer relevant to how I organize my references in Zotero but might be helpful at some point in the future for re-reading those references.)
As a minor feature, it would be great if the notes dragged and dropped out of Zotero as .txt (or similar) files, but my problem is solved and I probably won't run into it again.
