enex2laverna's Issues

Unable to run run-ever2simple

I have build the docker image but unable to ./run-ever2simple (with and without sudo).
I guess it is not related to the enex2laverna itself though :(

> sudo ./run-ever2simple.sh 
Pulling ever2simple (enex2laverna_ever2simple-build:latest)...
ERROR: repository enex2laverna_ever2simple-build not found: does not exist or no pull access

Question: Documentation data format to import notes?

hello, I'd like to import my notes from Cintanotes and Evernote. I could not find any documentation about what format the data must have to import it into Laverna.

Features missing from perfect import.

Great piece of software. I'm glad that even though I almost knew what docker is and had never heard of sudo -i, your error messages and readme were just helpful enough that I could get through this and import my 1600 notes. Thanks for making this even though it isn't perfect yet.

Things I would consider missing features (things that don't get imported):

• creation times
• notebooks (and hierarchy)
• tags

Note: I exported from Evernote 6.4.2.3788 in PlayonLinux 4.2.10 Wine 1.4 into Laverna 0.7.1-linux-x64
