(Archived) Synching Folders

[neon0107 0]

Hello All,

I just switched to an iMac from a windows pc. Loving the iMac but have a few questions with evernote. On my windows pc I was able to create folders on the pc and set those folders up to sync with certain notebooks. I can not figure out how to do this on the iMac. Is it possible? I also don't see the check box to keep the local copy after sync. I can delete them with a script if needed but wanted to see if there is a better approach.

Thanks

Ian

I'm guessing you are asking about Import Folders. For some odd reason, the Mac version of Evernote does not have this functionality (as far as I know).

There are many ways you can accomplish something similar. Personally I use an app called Hazel and you can read about my workflow here: http://www.documentsnap.com/behind-these-paperless-evernote-hazel-eyes. See the comments on that post for how to modify it to specify a certain notebook.

If you don't want to drop the $ for Hazel, you could attach a similar script to a folder using a Folder Action. I'm sure there are other ways, so I'm interested to see what others do.

Forum user Veritrope did some work on this using AppleScript. You can search the forums for his name to find related posts, or go to his web site http://veritrope.com/tech/evernote-desktop-folder/ for this and other Evernote scripts.

Thanks to both of you. I will look into both of your ideas.
