-->The import handels as well duplicates before the file will be imported into joplin. For this the file is loaded and a SHA256 hashcode will be calculated and looked up if there is any note with the same filehash in comments.
For the time being the meta data of files is stored inside the note as comment blocks. May it could be stored somewhere in the future somewhere else.
- Show import status in a status bar with progress
- Improve tag handling on import (will be moved to other plugin)
- Integrate OCR
- and a lot more
This plugin is still in beta phase.
