Purpose of the Mod
TNG V10 added the capability to Exclude Living and Exclude Private but in both case notes that are marked secret are exported.
The Exclude Private Notes mod was created to provide the missing option to Exclude Secret Notes that is those that have been marked Private or have the secret flag in the table.
If you are creating a GEDCOM Export to send to someone where you are excluding Living and Private, it stands to reason that you may not want to share notes that are marked secret. By having an option, you can leave the secret notes in when you are exporting as a backup for your site or to create a new database for testing.
