kelmk 0 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I have a folder of a couple hundred documents scanned that I would like to automatically add as notes. I thought this would be a very simple process but I can't seem to figure it out.Thanks Link to comment

channeleaton 0 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I wasn't able to find an option in Evernote to watch a folder, but what I was able to do was create a Folder Action.Open up Automator, choose 'Folder Action'On the left side bar, click Files & FoldersFind an action called 'Get Folder Contents', drag that to the workflow area on the right.Then find an action called 'Open Finder Items'. There will be a drop-down box. Open that and choose Evernote.At the top of the workflow area you should see a phrase 'Folder Action receives files and folders added to...'. Click the drop-down then 'Choose Folder'. Pick the folder that your scanner sends to.Then just Cmd-S.From then on, any files that you add to that folder will automatically be added to your default notebook in Evernote.I know that this is a quick and dirty solution. I'm sure that there are elegant solutions using Applescript or something like that but this should satisfy most needs. Link to comment
