importing folders and subfolders failing due to duplicates?

[Schmallo 0]

Hello,

today I started importing different folders to a local notebook.

In case of a folder with no subfolders and no duplicates everything was fine.

In that other case, a folder with subfolders in 4 levels and a lot of duplicate named pdf files was completely ignored. That folder and the file structure was created by rack2filer smart software, I can't change the file naming policies in that software.

Here is an example of how the data are structured:

D:\User\digitales Archiv\LIB_00000001\CAB_00000001\BDR_00000001\CONTENTS\00000001.pdf

D:\User\digitales Archiv\LIB_00000001\CAB_00000001\BDR_00000001\FILES\00000001.pdf

I have those questions:

1. has anybody the same problem and found a workaround?

2. is it a known issue that evernote does not import duplicate named files?

3. is there another reason the files were not imported?

 

Thanks,

Schmallo

For import folders, Evernote only supports one level from a named folder. It's a design choice: see https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/37592-import-folder-doesnt-import-sub-sub-folder-files/
