Export of notes to ENEX file

[RJLUK 307]

For various reasons I need to export a small number of notes to Apple notes.

I ve done this before with no issue but now when I do so all the notes created when the enex file is imported have the same title "New note"

Has something changed?

Not on the export side, AFAIK.

Can’t tell for the import, however.

If you open the enex file in a text editor you can check that the title field is correct. It will look something like:

If that is correct then it almost certainly an import rather than export problem. I suppose you could try exporting from legacy to see what happens there.

Thanks - It appears to be an apple OS issue. a single note will import with correct title tags etc. Multiple notes will not. Tried legacy EN same result. I only need around twenty notes exporting so once they were exported I manually changed the titles.  Looks like the days of people jumping to Apple notes from EN are over.

To check on this (I don’t use Apple Notes) I created a ENEX file on my Mac Monterey 12.5 in EN 10.41.5 with 5 random notes. I imported them by dragging the file from the desktop on top of the Apple Notes icon in the Dock.

All 5 imported just fine, with attachments and all - including the correct 5 notes titles.

Just my experience …

SOLVED- I'm running macOS Ventura Version 13.0 Beta (22A5321d) - I suspect Apple notes Mac does not play well with EN.

I exported required notes then used Notes on iPad to import- all good tittles there etc.
