Unable to upload folders via the Tools>ImportFolders menu about nixnote2

[robert7]

i'll look at it; I did not tested the feature before, as I'm not using it..

So I did some checking and for me the feature works OK. See screenshoots.
Setting up folder:

Import using script:

Imported files:

Log entries regarding import:

Pls use last version (currently "2.0.1-beta-3d" from my Dropbox folder

Additionally in the v2.0 there was a problem reported as "Import too fast".
In "2.0.1-beta-3d" I improved logging and also did a "quick fix" for the "too fast import". Files named ".tmp" are ignored. So you can copy files to import folder like this

#!/bin/bash

if [ ! -f "$1" ]; then echo 1st param needs to be existing file!; exit 1; fi
if [ ! -d "$2" ]; then echo 2nd param needs to be existing directory!; exit 1; fi


# copy file with ".tmp" file extension to targed directory
cp $1 $2/$1.tmp

# rename file to original name
mv $2/$1.tmp $2/$1

and avoid the "too fast" import, where unfinished file could be imported.

So if your problem persist, then I need more info about your use case and log file (see wiki how to find/attach log file).

Ok there is also easier workaround solution without the "sh" script I proposed before.
This works both with v2.0 and v2.1

Just organize your workflow as follows:
1, do the download to "Directory1" - e.g. ~/Downloads
2, then setup "Import folders" to a subdirectory of it - Directory2 - e.g. ~/Downloads/nixnote
3, then download your files...
4, when finished, move all files from Directory1 to Directory2 - as "move" is "atomic" operation, the problem should nort occur. Eg. mark all files in ~/Downloads then Cut & paste to the "Import folder" ~/Downloads/nixnote
Then important point is you must not do "Copy&Paste" but "Cut&Paste" (=move)..

So I'm closing this now. If you still have problem reopen the ticket or open a new but pls with more details/log file/version used etc.
