when importing from a jex file from my main pc to the laptop it creates a (1) for those notebook with same name regardless if its inside of a notebook or not. Havent checked if this is also true for notes though.
is there a fix for this?
You can’t import a notebook inside another notebook, they will always be imported at the root and if there’s another one with the same name, it will append a number.
im not saying that i imported the notebook one by one I imported my whole joplin JEX file which consist of many similar names inside it at once.
old computer exported JEX
ToDo(Notebook)
–>Food(Notebook)
Food(Notebook)
new computer
ToDo(Notebook)
–>Food(Notebook)
Food (1) (Notebook)
is this an expected behavior?
No.

Is this gonna be acknowledge as an issue?
To keep track of issues, it’s best to create one on GitHub.
issue has already been opened in github a while back so far no action has been taken yet
@tony I’m trying to give a shot at this issue, but I need some clarification first. Do I need two PCs to test this?
@Runo-saduwa, to answer your question, it doesn’t require a second PC. It just requires any Subnotebook to be named the same, regardless of where in the tree it is. I organize my journal entries by month and year using subnotebooks and have ran into the same bug when I imported my Notebooks into Joplin during a borked test that could have lost me most, if not all, of my journal entries.
Here’s a screenshot:
And here’s a simple test Jex file:
Import-Bug-Jex.jex (14 KB)
If you open it with any text editor and search for 2018 and 2019, you’ll find 2 references each with no additional numbers added to the Subnotebook names and both can be found under January and February respectively.
