Importing Note Creates New Notebook

[chemie 17]

I tried to import and everytime I do that it creates a not book as shown in the attached image.

Is it evernote feature ? Is there a setting that can be suppressed so instead of creating a new notebook for each note, it imports note to selected notebook.

 

Thanks for your help

Hi,

What are your settings in the last tab of tools/options ?

I believe all imports go to a notebook titled Imported Notes.  You can then either move all the notes to the notebook of choice, or rename Imported Notes to whatever you like.

Ok, I see, this happen when you import notes via the menu Files/import. I never use this. I drag&drop directly over a Notebook or use import folders which imports directly in NB I previously selected.

I think OP is referencing importing ENEX files, hence the Created notebook. FWIW.

Yes I was trying Files -> import -> .enex file.

I tried folder import and it worked find, it did not create multiple notebooks and put all of them in chosen notebook

Thank you

ENEX files don't capture the source (or any) notebook information.  When exporting to ENEX it's best to do so one notebook at a time and create a separate file for each one,  then an import will allow you to move all the notes into the correct notebooks in successive imports.
