    (let* ((excalidraw-appdata-root "~/Dropbox/Appdata/Excalidraw")
           (excalidraw-empty-file (f-join excalidraw-appdata-root ".empty.excalidraw"))
           (excalidraw-path (f-join excalidraw-appdata-root (concat name ".excalidraw")))
           (excalidraw-export-path (f-join excalidraw-appdata-root "Exports" (concat name ".svg"))))
      (unless (f-exists? excalidraw-path) (f-copy excalidraw-empty-file excalidraw-path))
      (quiet! (shell-command (concat "open " (shell-quote-argument excalidraw-path))))
      (message (concat "Openning " excalidraw-path))
      ))
  )
