Jimmy: A Joplin Import Tool

[Marph]

Thanks for the detailed feedback!

First off, the Joplin importer seems to have issues with tags that contain umlauts, e.g. "Ökonomie". It gives me an error message reading "The MD file could not be imported. The tag 'Ökonomie' already exists." (which it doesn't). If I edit the MD file to read "Oekonomie", the file imports fine.

I was able to reproduce your issue: Ökonomie doesn't work, while Oekonomie and ökonomie are working. This is an issue in Joplin, but a workaround in the script can be implemented easily. I. e. converting all tags to lower case.

Edit: I opened a github issue: Tags starting with upper case special characters are not imported properly · Issue #11179 · laurent22/joplin · GitHub

Then, the import process eventually broke off with the error message "Malformed URI" – which is unfortunate as it does not give me a pointer to where the source of the issue lies. It is clear that most of the import is missing.

I guess there is a problem on both sides: The script creates some odd URI and the Joplin import is not robust enough to handle it. You could try to catch the related error at the developer console ("Help > Toggle Development Tools"). Maybe it shows the name of the affected note.

And then, finally, in the parts successfully imported, there are no images.

That's strange. I couldn't observe this in the test files. Could you provide a example export here or send it to my email (linked at the end of the script output)? The more data it contains, the better for debugging. I guess that's the only way to find out if it's a bug in the script.
