I decided to contribute and put in one place, a tutorial on Evernote to DT. Contributions are taken from other people, but placed in one place here.
- Installation: Install DT, install Evernote Legacy,
Start launching Evernote Legacy - it must be running for exporting to work. Launch DT.
In DT, Under File-> Import → Notes from Evernote. It will provide a selection of notebooks to chose from. Select all of them to import. It will take a while for all the notes to be imported into a Folder named Evernote. . For each note in evernote, it typically gets translated to a group of 2 docs, one with the note, one a file with the filename of the note. We need to get rid of the extraneous file and convert the group to a single file, using a smart rule.
- Download @BLUEFROG’s original Smart Rule from here
- In Finder’s downloads folder:
- Double click to unzip it
- Double click the Smart Rule to install it
- In DEVONthink:
- Find the Smart Rule “Clean Evernote Imports” in the Navigation Sidebar - left side, scroll towards bottom
- Right click smart rule, select edit.
- Window pops up, In “Search in”, select the new Evernote Folder. This will process the entire imported folders.
click “Edit script” towards the bottom right.- Delete the original script
- Paste the modified script from here
Save/close window
Right click “Clean Evernote Imports” Apply Rule
Wait a long time. You will will see the invididual folders in Evernote change so that the extraneous groups dissappear.
When it is finished, you will need to manually eliminate a few of the groups that were not processed correctly by opening the group and dragging the file up and then deleting the group.
Then check to see that the number of docs in DT match those is Evernote to see nothing is missing.
When you are sure that you have imported everything, you can delete Evernote and the databases. You will need a app cleaner like App-cleaner to remove everything and recover space. Thats it!
