What issue do you have?

I imported a notebook from Evernote. There were 1145 notes. For a significant part, the title was not transferred. It was an enex import. What could be the reason?

Welcome to the Joplin forum!

How to Auto Title notes that were imported? Features

Imported about 900 notes from Evernote (bye bye) I have about 1/3 of those notes are "Untitled Note", is there a plugin or procedure that will 'run' and auto title these notes. I've been doing them manually and it's not a great big deal but just don't wanna waste my time if I don't need to. THANKS

Same problem, maybe also a solution for you.
Hope that can be a help!

I'm old enough to remember Phil Libin of Evernote saying that your notes will always be easily portable. Now it seems they are making it quite a hassle to leave.

OP, the problem is not with Joplin; it's with the enex export file created in Evernote. See the thread that @Wimvan linked to.

OK, so I‘m young! And it‘s a shame, but caging people in products is a way to make more money than without doing it. Economy, stupid!

Jolly, I just ended up doing them by hand. I had about 909 notes imported, had same issue, followed all export/import directions, didn't find a faster solution than to manually 'highlight text, CTRL-C, highlight title of 'untitled note' and CTRL-V.
Probably had over 300 I had to change.

I organized my titles Alphabetically and just did all my "untitled" from the bottom up, worked faster than i thought
