Thanks! Yeah, I seriously considered your BAT approach and tried to consider how I could make it work for me. What I like about your BAT file is that it runs once, and then releases its system resources. Also, a BAT file doesn't require any additional installed tools. But I don't keep Evernote running all the time, and I sometimes don't reboot for weeks. There was a chance I would reboot with un-imported files sitting in the Import Folder. I wanted more assurance the file had been imported, before it got deleted. Thanks for your help in this thread, @agsteele

Workaround for Windows, using AutoHotKey I've been lurking in this thread for months, similarly annoyed at that this feature was "COMING SOON", but never came. Today I noticed that "Remove source file (COMING SOON)" was finally removed from the Import Folder setting, in Windows. (I'm running v.10.63.4). If Evernote won't be adding this feature, it was time to roll my own. So, today I created a workaround using AutoHotKey. The script runs in the background, waiting for the Evernote windows notification that pops up with each file import. It then scans through the import folder (recursively) and deletes any matching files. Currently, the script only searches one path (folder). This is enough for me, as I keep all my import folders in one place. I only just programmed this today, so I imagine there are some edge cases (files with odd characters, for instance) which might break the script. But so far, for me, this script meets my needs. In particular, I like that the file is not deleted until the Evernote Notification comes up. This gives me a reasonable assurance that the file actually got imported. Also, I send the source file to the Windows Recycle Bin, so that I can restore it and import it manually if there's any problem. If you want to use the script, you'll need AutoHotKey installed on your computer. You'll also need to edit the script to indicate the path to your import folder. And you'll need to add the script in your windows Startup folder, or use any other trick you like to get the script to run in the background on Windows startup. I look forward to people's feedback, and encourage others to modify the script and share their improvements. I hope this is helpful! EverDropWatch.ahk
