thanks Justin – appreciated!
then I circumvent (with the Deon-script shich ‘does the job’, though indirectly) and wait and see.

… just to make a ‘community case’ – looking for a solution and trying to sample something out of what I can find on the net (as I am not script-savy myself) I found that a lot of people actually strive for OpenMeta-support for EV in general – probably with cases like this in mind.
e.g. http://bit.ly/If17iL
in case there should be a script I would certainly post it there too…

best + thanks

Hi Oliver — Glad you’re enjoying the AppleScripts here!

RE: OpenMeta tags. If enough people express an interest in this, I’ll certainly take a look and see if it’s achievable.

hey, I already found more than one very helpful AppleScript here. thanks + kudos for that!

seeing this great applescript I wonder:
could the ability to copy (OpenMeta) tags from DevonThink files into the Evernote-note (like in another script here) be replicated here?
… searched for ways to achieve this, but after some days I gave up…

thanks already for hints.

It doesn’t work at all — or is the formatting “off”?

(Script still runs for me on OS X 10.7.1)

Really wish this script would work!
I get documents all the time (.rtf) that I would love to keep the formatting the same inside of evernote.
I know i could just export out a pdf and throw that into Evernote… But i don’t want that extra step when viewing it…
I have tested it on Lion and SnowLeopard on my MacbookPro…
Any chance for an update that works?!?!

I have not yet downloaded the app because I currently don’t have a mac (although I’m planning to get one) and I’m still trying to decide what software I will use to archive 5 years worth of documents. I just have a few questions.

In the future, will there be a version of it that is able to import Microsoft Works and Microsoft Word files? I have thousands of these files that I want to put into one Evernote archive.

You know how each note in Evernote has a date that it was created and you can sort them chronologically? Will the date created carry over with the file so that the files from…let’s say 2008…won’t appear at the top with all the current stuff?

Nice utility. I used it to import text files that I had exported from Mark/Space Notebook. I did not want the extension included as part of the note title in Evernote, so I added the following line of code to your script:

set thefileName to text 1 thru ((offset of "." in thefileName) - 1) of thefileName

This code was placed immediately after your line:

set thefileName to the name of exportedFile

Worked great. Thanks again!

Nic,

I’ve added the source code for this app to the Code Library — you can view it here… and customize it to your heart’s content!

Be sure to post your modifications on the source code page so that others can benefit from your additions.

I am migrating from SOHO Notes to Evernote. SOHO RTF export files have their creation and modifications dates set the dates of the notes. I would like to have the notes imported into Evernote have their dates set to the original note dates
