Hello @akos0215,

I’m trying to run Yarle on Windows 10. I run it with the follwoing command:
npx -p yarle-evernote-to-md@latest yarle --configFile “config.json”
This is in the directory where the config.json lies. To make sure I have everything correct, I tried the config with “.\config.json”, "config.json, and without the “” as well, in case I got the syntax confused. I also tried the full file path.

Every time, I get an error that reads, roughly translated as “the system can’t find the inputed path”.

Can you advise on a possible fix for that?

Hi @Keppler ,

I released a desktop versions of Yarle with a graphical user interface which eliminates configurational, platform-dependent and other commandline problems. i tried to implement a straight-forward solution to configure and use Yarle easier than before. Please give it a try.

cheers,
akos

This is really nice, I will give it a spin.

  1. I cannot select more than one .enex file.
  2. It seems that the configuration options are not respected. I have chosen options like use one ressource folder, StandardMD, etc, which seem not to be used.
  3. Most formatting of notes, like basic stuff like bold text, seems to be lost.

Mac OS 10.15.7, YARLE desktop Version 4.0.3.

Also, the app seems to loose settings when closing and reopening.

Hi @tokeriis ,

thanks for the tests, i check the issues.

Loosing a config is not a bug, currently the app starts with default settings every time. So keeping the settings is a good feature request :slight_smile:

thank you!

#45

@tokeriis ,

didn’t you miss step 4, to select the output folder? as I see it in the logs, the path is undefined.

#46

I did set the output folder.

#47

ok, thx. it’s strange, I’ll investigate it.

Good day! I used the desktop Windows version, I have Windows 8.1. All is working well, thank you so much for putting this together.

  1. My Evernote export has 25 enex files (I have a lot of notes, 12 years worth). Each enex file takes 4-6 hours to complete. I will be at this for days. Is there a way to pickup all the enex files in succession to avoid having to do them individually?
  2. The instructions state that after the conversion, to simply “drag” the converted files into Obsidian. The structure that has been created is:
    /notes//Evernote [2] (where the converted notes are) & /notes/Evernote [2]//_resources (where the attachments are). I tried dragging in ‘all’ the files under Evernote [2], without success. Can you elaborate on how to complete the import process?
    Thank you in advance for you assistance. Once I get this all working, this will be a huge timesaver for me (even if it takes days).
    Michael

I used the desktop Windows version and default setting；evernote 6.25.1
“Keep Image size”to “Yes”
Would produce a syntax like this
Snipaste_2021-08-09_22-27-14
Snipaste_2021-08-09_22-25-14
I set “Keep Image size”to “no”,Import images will be partially lost

Hi @yukonquestm !

I’m sorry I totally missed your message here.
I added a similar feature request recently on github, namely to support batch of enex files (with inter-enex links of notes). I think on the possible implementation.
About your second case: Yarle creates a normal folder on your file-system, to complete the process you can simply move the folder or the files under your Obsidian vault.

Cheers,
akos

Hi @akos0215,

I’m excited to use Yarle. However, I have no experience with code or development at all. I even find using the terminal confusing, never mind working with the configuration code at the Yarle GitHub site.

I’ve tried following the instructions here: Convert Evernote's .enex to .md Format
but get hung up on step 3. I’ve also read through the discussions on both Obsidian and Github forums and tried installing bits of suggested code into the terminal that seem like it might get me to where I want to go, but keep getting all kinds of error messages (I assume that’s what ‘ERR!’ means). I’ve also tried the stand alone tool.

Sadly, I’m not having any luck. I’m sure this is entirely due to the fact that code is a language I don’t yet understand. Is there a way to work with Yarle for a non-coder?

Thanks in advance for any guidance you can offer,

Josh

Hi Joshua!

That description looks pretty old, I implemented a complete User interface in Yarle hence, it is now a cross-platform desktop application, so I would suggest you to download the version that fits your Operating System from here: GitHub - akosbalasko/yarle: Yarle - The ultimate converter of Evernote notes to Markdown
, start it, and follow the steps within the application.

cheers,
akos

Thanks so much, Akos!

When I downloaded the app at Binaries it worked! Can I go ahead and delete the json and node-v16.11.1 package and I had downloaded earlier?

Thank you again!

Sure sure, you don’t need them.

Or just use Evernote to Export in ENEX format. The use Joplin to covert ENEX to Markdown. Then import those MD files into Obsidian. That’s how I got my ~1GB of Evernote notes into Obsidian.

#57

@akos0215 I am not very tech savvy on all you do, Were can I find the link to download the the file. I see a lot of links but I am not sure which one to use.

#58

On the GitHub page, scroll down to “Binaries” – that’s a very nerdy way of saying “program files” :wink:
