Export format
Since version 2.0, a Catima export is a Zip file containing:
- A single catima.csv file
- All image files as .png
Continue reading for more details about both.
Before 2.0, the backup format was just the .csv file, not inside a .zip file. It can still be imported in 2.0+. To import a 2.0+ backup into older Catima versions, one should extract the .csv file and import that instead.
catima.csv
The catima.csv file is a CSV file in the following format:
[version number]
[group database table description]
[one line per group]
[card database table description]
[one line per card]
[card to group linking database table description]
[one line per link]
Version number is always 2. If a database table is empty, there are simply no lines. For valid possible values for each table, see Card sharing URL format.
