Traveller1 4 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Is it possible to create an EN (automatic) import folder on a Mac? I see it is possible for windows. This would be useful. Link to comment

Yes, it's possible to have an import folder on a Mac Instead of an EN feature, it's driven by the OS Right-click on the folder and Services > Folder Actions Setup As you can see in the screenshot - folders on the left and scripts on the right The script can be very complex; here's a simple version on adding folder items to thisFolder after receiving newFiles repeat with newFile in newFiles tell application "Evernote" to create note from file newFile tell application "Finder" to delete (newFile) end repeat end adding folder items to This is AppleScript, more details at https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/112316-scripting-on-a-mac-applescript/ Link to comment
Traveller1 4 Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 I figured out how to create an applescript to auto import photos with a tag. Here it is. Obviously, change the notebook, tag, and import folder to your situation: on run {input, parameters} repeat with this_item in the input set the item_info to info for this_item tell application id "com.evernote.evernote" activate create note from file this_item notebook "Photobackup" tags "photo_backup" end tell end repeat return input return input end run Link to comment
