I have hundreds of notes in the Bear Notes macOS app in markdown format which I want to transfer to Joplin. I can export the notes into a folder which can be imported into Joplin, but the tags are not applied.
Tags in Bear are just #hashtags at the bottom (or top) of the .md document. For example the note:
# Installing RancherOS
... some text
#server/RancherOS #linux
will be displayed in a folder-like tag-tree:
What would be the recommended way to get these tags applied within Joplin?
How did you finally handle this @chriswayg?
Bump! Inquiring minds want to know. I started using Joplin today and like it much more than Bear app. It would be great to be able to import my thousands of notes into Joplin.
With a bit of scripting it shouldn't be too difficult to extract the tags from the note content and create them using the API.
Is the api documented on the Web site? I don't have time to learn it in the near future, but perhaps sometime next month it will come to the top of my project task queue.
It's documented there: https://joplinapp.org/api/overview/ I guess in your case you only need the Joplin Data API.
