Import odt-file

I try to import an odt-file I stored in a folder. The problem is: Zettlr doesn't recognize the file.

Can you save or export the file as a Markdown (.md) instead of .odt in the first place ?

Libreoffice cannot store md. And extern odt-files from anywhere could only converted by ikus060 and draculac. They can installed in debian. I use Arch. But zettrl wants to carry out the import. But why it das not work?

Zettlr can't import .odt files. You need to convert them manually. I would suggest you look into pandoc to do so.

Here's a command to get started with pandoc --from odt --to markdown --wrap=none --no-highlight input_file.odt -o new_file.md.

You can as well use the pandoc website to see/copy the output: https://pandoc.org/try

Umm… Zettlr can indeed import ODT files. The Pandoc command you provided is roughly what Zettlr will do when you select "Import…". The only issue is that the workflow is a bit intransparent. There's an issue open for me to improve it at some point.
