Evernote Bulk Export
Summary: Export all the notes in Evernote to ENEX format, creating one file per notebook.
Requires: Evernote 7 (Evernote 10 does not support AppleScript)
Install Location: ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/EagleFiler/
Last Modified: 2020-12-11
Description
The easiest way to import from Evernote to EagleFiler is to select the desired notes in Evernote and press the capture key. However, for large numbers of notes, this can be slow, as it has to check which notebook each note belongs to. If you know that you want to import all the notes, it is more efficient to use this script to create a folder of ENEX files and then use EagleFiler’s Import ENEX File… command to import them. (You can drag all the .enex files into the open file panel at once to import them in a single step.)
This script requires that each Evernote notebook’s name can be a valid filename (not too long, no illegal characters) and that no two notebooks have the same name.
