Do we need to remove the UID from all files and folders ourselves?

[ToontjeM]

The script apparently doesn't do that?

[arozx]

Yes the script does not have this feature. I'm pretty sure the software is not being actively maintained so I created a fork with a few changes which automatically removes UID's as well as other improvements.

Will try that one later today. Thanks!

Your script also doesn't remove any UIDs

I forgot to mention that you have to unzip the folder once. This is because when you download the zip from notion it gives you a zip nested in another zip for some reason.

@arozx Thanks, got it. But now it's crashing with the following error:

This might work though I have no way of testing for MacOS. https://github.com/arozx/notion_2_obsidan/tree/testing

One workaround could be to use a Virtual Machine such as virtual box to run the program on a Linux or windows machine. You could also try using GitHub code spaces or replit to run the application or use a windows or Linux computer. I am unable to reproduce the error, so unfortunately do not have a proper solution to the issue.

See if that helps guys, one thing i'd like to point it out. The dev took his time to develop this we should come not asking and demanding features but willing to help how to implement that or help somehow. He's doing for free, remember that.

In case theres is interest i can make a PR to integrate that to the current script.
