mrh 3 Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 On Evernote for Windows, you can import a folder of files into a notebook as seperate notes. How do you do this on mac?
peterfmartin 221 Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 This doesn't exist for Mac. If you search the Mac forum for "import folder," you'll find previous discussion on the topic. Though I don't do this (so I can't vouch for it from personal use), it seems a third-party solution replicates this functionality. I think the best discussion of this substitute is the third page of this conversation: http://discussion.ev...s/page__st__40. Look for posts by Veritrope. I believe the link you'll be looking for is: http://veritrope.com...esktop-folder/.
Level 5* JMichaelTX 4,119 Posted April 15, 2012 Level 5* Posted April 15, 2012 I use the Veritrope.com AppleScript solution and it works quite well, even better that the built-in import in EN Win.
mrh 3 Posted April 16, 2012 Author Posted April 16, 2012 Thanks! Looks like just what I needed.Seems odd that Evernote doesn't have the same features on Mac and Windows though.
johnwin 10 Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Any EN employee here who can tell us when or if this feature will ever be included in the native client?We really need this and I'm afraid it is another example of the OS X client lagging behind (or never reaching) what the Windows client can do.I know about the Apple scripts and I have used them but not everyone is comfortable with using these tools and I don't think they should have to.As a work around I'm using Folder Import on my work Windows machine, and then syncing my EN DB back to my Mac. Not ideal and not an option open to those 'lucky' enough to use both Windows and Apple.Please Evernote, add this feature.
