Hi, awesome script! I would like to tell the script to only pull in text (no images). Any thoughts on how to achieve this in the script? Would be super helpful. Thanks!

[...] a heavy Evernote user, I chose to use my NetNewsWire to Evernote Batch AppleScript to move my items over. It hasn’t been updated much since I first released it but, if you just [...]

Great script! I’ve been trying to use it with my starred items in Google Reader to get them into evernote. It worked well for a little bit, but it seems that it’s taking google a while to update my starred items public feed so I guess I’ll have to do a little bit each day.

Joe,

From the NNW Website:
“Flagged items should now be in sync with starred items (both directions). One limitation, however — in NetNewsWire it only shows flagged items if the item appears in a feed you’re subscribed to.”

Tried it out with my iPhone — works fine!

Great script! Make my life so much easier.
The only thing i need to NNW to sync with Starred items or get a script to export my InstaPaper stuff to Evernote!

Ether way would make memory clippings easier on the iphone!

thanks Justin,

I tried, still stuck. An email when/if you have a new script would be mighty kind–thanks for looking at this.

I am definitely going to spend some time on this script this week — it’s been a year since I posted it and I have learned a few things about AppleScript since then.

Also, thanks for your detective work… I think I *may* have identified the cause, but will test over the next few days to be sure.

Hi Justin,

I just tried the script two more times and had partial success. Both attempts got about half way through my 125 flagged items before getting “Error number: -1712 Message: Evernote got an error: AppleEvent timed out.”

I don’t have good ideas on why I didn’t get the “exceed allowance” error I had earlier. Hard to tell since I changed a number of things including quitting many open applications. I also disconnected from the internet for one attempt (and ended up with no images in the newly created notes).

Your “single” script has worked fine throughout, so I may end up using that instead of the “batch” one. Nice to have a fallback.

BTW, I may contact you later to ask about a script to change the creation year on a notebook’s worth of notes (long story).

Thanks again for all your efforts!

Hi David,

I am just finishing up some revisions to the DEVONthink/Evernote scripts, but I will tackle this next!

Check back later this week for updates and, in the interim, let me know if you discover any other “common denominator” associated with this error.

Oops, I’m in the same boat: premium acct and same error msg. Emptying Evernote’s trash and moving NNW items into a Local notebook didn’t make any difference.

I’m using Evernote 1.4.9 and NNW 3.2

Any help would be appreciated.

And thanks for all your Evernote applescript work! You’re helping a ton of people, I’m sure.
