"Export Message As" multiple formats at a time (enhancement)

[jeron1]

Would there be a way to right click and export a message in multiple formats at the same time? E.g., I create export-profile-A to export a message as (1) a PDF and (2) as plain text with attachments, and I create export-profile-B to export a message as (1) a PDF, (2) as plain text with attachments and (3) EML.

When I right-click on a message, and move to Export Messages As, the export profiles that I created (export-profile-A and export-profile-B) would be added to the menu as additional options along with the formats already listed.

Some years ago, I used an add-in for outlook that had something like this. It would be helpful to me because basically every time I export an individual message, I export it as a PDF, a plain text+attachments, and EML. Being able to do all three at once would save repeated clicks and menu navigations.

(I use ImportExportTools NG every day and think its great. I'm on IETNG 14.1.4, TB 128.6.0esr, kubuntu 24.04.)

@jeron1
Thanks for the enhancement request.
I have to say this is a fairly unique request, not one I have seen before.
While I have to make some small changes for pdf export to enable shortcuts, I'm thinking using three shortcuts might be an answer in the short term.
I would have to think about it more for something like you describe.
i am currently doing a major rewrite so it will be sometime before that's ready.
I will ponder it while I am doing it.

First, many thanks for considering it. Second, I went back and tested the old outlook add-in (Encryptomatic MessageExport 4.0.209.0 with outlook 2010 on a win10 vm) and it turns out that one could NOT export in multiple formats with the click of one button. One could customize multiple profiles for export (e.g., txt, pdf, pdf with attachments, etc.), but if one wanted to export an email in multiple formats, it would be necessary to click on a profile for the applicable format. E.g., click profile 1 for an export as txt, then click on profile 2 for an export as pdf. So, it appears I mis-remembered (I probably wished at that time that I could export in multiple formats with one click). I do apologize for that. That said, if it is something that could be considered, it would be quite helpful. Perhaps the uniqueness of this request could lead to some notable new functionality--but I totally understand if doesn't happen anytime soon or at all. Thanks again for what is already a great tool!
