remove/mark imported files

[ameisbe]

Would it be possible to remove or mark already imported files, so they do not get imported again? I had the situation, that I hat duplicate copies of the files in my hot folder and I had to manually move them out of the folder to not get even more duplicates.

Otherwise a great plugin!!

After the import the file would be deleted in the hotfolder. Did you get some errors in the console?

[ameisbe]

I had a look and yes I get the following error after placing a new file into the hotfolder

I hope this works

@ameisbe ok I have found the reason four your problem.

The tag imp (31a07fb734b948208377a5b6a66a48c6 and db98b88cbd854581928092f7d10fb57f) occurese twice in your database. This led to an error when the tag was assigned to the note. Therefore the file was not deleted. I have release a fix for this tagging problem.

How the tag came into the Joplin database twice I don't know. Were notes imported from evernote with this tag?

[ameisbe]

I was looking at the stack trace a couple of minutes ago myself and got the idea to remove the tag from the preferences.It worked!

Reading our reply I do see now, that I have the "imp"tag appear twice in the sidebar. But I am pretty sure, that they were both added by my import. But I combined to imported text files with the "combine notes" plugin. Maybe thsi introduced the duplication . Just tried it and could not reproduce it. Many thanks for your analysis. And also many thnanks for your great plugin(s)
