Below is an image of the source code of an .enex file. The note has two local images. The <en-media> tag uses a hash code as the "url" for each local image.
Do you experts know how EN maps a hash code to the image resource? In other words, if I generate an .enex file from my resources, how can I generate a hash code as the "url" to the local image resource?
Thank you!

There is no scripting support for v10 on any platform.
Thanks for sharing. But this is really a sad news.

this code is a very good starting point for your own code
Yes. It seems to be necessary to learn to use Evernote API.

@eric99 Thank you for sharing!
Sorry for another question:
1. In account X, there are two online notes: note A and note B. In note A there is a link to note B.
2. Note A and note B are exported to test.enex
3. The file test.enex is imported to another account Y and synced.
Is it possible to write codes (e.g. in Python) to update the link in the new note A to make it jump to the new note B?
Thanks!

Have you tried it?
No. I never tried to share any notes publicly. I simly judged that according to replies suggesting that the internal links are based on encrypted strings for security considerations. In my personal opinion the internal links are encripted only to bring so much inconvinience unnecessarily.

If you have enabled a public share then anyone can view the note if they are given or guess the link.
Thanks for your reply! Then, sharing a note public simply use the same identifier that is used by its internal link. The design seems to be aweful. In most cloud services, the url of a shared resource uses a temporarily generated identifier that is destroied when the sharing is cancelled.

for content stored on a cloud server, it is important that from any link a person knows, there is no easy way to get at a second valid link.
If somebody have the link of a note in my account, he/she can access the note anytime and anywhere no matter whether I shared it or not?

Thanks for your replies! But it seems to be difficult to imagine that creating the internal urls simply with sequential numbers has something to do with data security. Encrypting the internal urls only makes it impossible to import notes with internal links while keeping those links still working.
-
For offline notes, it's easy to simply add 1 to the last number of the internal link url.
Is there any info available to make it possible to calculate the internal links of an online note that is to be created next?
Thank you!

It appears that one source site was more willing to share their image with Evernote than the other.
This should be the cause of the issue. But I can't figure out what's the difference between the ways of the source sites share their images. Thank you both for your replies!

I have two simple html files with embedded online images. They are put in the import folder to be imported. One can fetch the image successfully, but the other fails. What's wrong? Thank you for some clues!
OK to fetch image when imported.html

Sadly, you were unsuccesful.
Even more sadly, the company spent 10 years and a billion dollars to make a great productivity tool on this planet irrelevant.

@Dave Green @DTLow Thank you both for your reply!

I just recall that in Evernote for Mac the notes can be manipulated with Appliscript. Many years ago I called for the team to add scripting functionality to Evernote for Win.

My solution was to append the id# to the note contents
@DTLow Could you share how you did this? Thanks!

it is up to that additional process to keep the links working after this major transformation into another system
@Dave Green Could you share more details on the process for keeping the links working? Thank you!

@agsteele Thanks a lot for sharing your observation! I'm curious about how the backup process keeps all the internal links between different notes and makes them able to be restored in the future.

Of course the links point to records in the Evernote databaseWhen I export a ENEX file, generally I would create a single note and copy/paste the links of all the notes to it. If I want in the future, the note with all the links would make it possible to rebuild all the internal links in the ENEX file. This process seems to be automated by Evernote Legacy according to you descrption.

@DTLow Could you share which "different product" you use? Thank you!

@gazumped Thank you for sharing more comments!

In exporting html, links are kept, but tags are lost. In exporting ENEX, tags are kept but links are lost. Life is really tough. ☹️

@agsteele Thank you!
In fact many years ago I spent quite a lot time experimenting with the solution of backup the EN data folder to see whether an unofficial backup strategy better than exporting ENEX can be developed. I can't remember much of the details, but the answer was "no". Of course, I kept watching whether other smarter guys might have a solution.

Try using your account and then unplug from the Internet. Can you still access the data?
Of course, the downloaded copy fo the database is accessible without web connection. Everything is the same except that the links of new notes can't be generated.
This way I can "backup" 100% the database in the current state.

Hi @agsteele Thank you for sharing!

I use an old version of Evernote. My worry is that it would be refused to login my account one morning when I wake up.
How does Evernote map the image resources in .enex file?

@eric99 Thank you for sharing!
@agsteele I just want to write an .enex generator to organize some texts and images into an .enex file which is then imported to EN.
