Option to dump to folder instead?

[HackerJL]

First off, this is an amazing project, youre a wizard!

I am working on a large move from ENEX files, and the direct send to paperless is a bit painful for me (not your problem). I was wondering if there was an ability to put in a switch to do the work the program is doing, but instead, send to a subfolder vs sending to paperless. Then I can batch it up better and drop into paperless, or maybe even go direct to the paperless machine, for speed.

I know I can fork it..but this is out of my wheelhouse.

Seriously great tool, works great, just a thought.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

I think I've already implemented that functionality, but havent made it available. So thats an easy addon.

Storing attachements in a certain folder structure would be easy to do. What would a good output structure be though? I could just dump all attachements into a folder, or a folder per note, or something else?

In my opinion (since you asked), just a switch to specify a folder name (or it to make one...) for the entire ENEX file thats being worked on. I guess additional options for folder per note would be wanted by some Im betting.

try the latest release

I was just seeing it posted (watching it). Documentation doesnt show any more switches? Whats the syntax to try?

[kevinzehnder]

Ah yes, good point. Forgot to update the Readme. If you run it with -h it'll show you all the options.

Ill try tonight!

Yes, works great, fast and easy. Many thanks.

But...We might need it to handle duplications better. While Evernote used different notes, the attachments can be duplicated. So when it hits a folder, it asks for overwrite.

My biggest issue is scanned stuff in Evernote that had the attachment 'Scanned from a Xerox Multifunction Printer.pdf'. There is also no way to auto-accept overwrite function, so it's fairly hands on to get through the ENEX conversion.

My suggestion (that you didnt ask for...) is that it it incrementally adds a version number to the file -1, -2, etc.

But, let me be clear that it does work...wonderfully.

Glad to know it works, thank you.

I agree, that feature is pretty bare bones at the moment. If you have a bunch of these duplicates in an ENEX file then it definitely gets pretty tedious right now.

I think adding a -1 etc. to the files would be an option. I could also append the note title for instance, or do something with the note date. I'll think about it.
