(Archived) Duplicating previous Import Folder notes due to upgrade

[seven_neves 2]

Hi All,

 

Recently upgraded work computer and re installed EN.

I had 5-6 Import Folders set up and now it's causing a problem with duplications when setting them back up.

Luckily did a test before setting up my folder that includes 1,000 files...definitely getting duplicated - understandably, it's as if EN is reading the folder for the first time, then creating a new note accordingly.

 

Anyone managed to find a workaround for this scenario?

Hoping to find something that is a bit less time consuming than duplicating all the original files, then deleting all of the 'new' instances? That's all I could think of..

 

Thanks,
