Bulk import from md and other apps
planned
Steffen Bleher
Upload a zip folder of markdown files to capacities.
Considerations
- upload as a specific type and use front matter content to determine type and set properties
- upload to a specific space
Goal:
Maximize data integrity from other apps as best as possible. Requested apps:
- Notion
- Obsidian
- Roam
- Logseq
- RemNote
Supported syntax:
- #hashtag for tags
- front matter properties try to match to properties of type
- tags in front matter
- if front matter specifies a type try to match that to a capacities type

There are some hints in the documentation that one can do a "bulk import" of sorts from a csv file, where every row is imported as an object of a particular type. For example, https://capacities.io/whats-new/release-15 and https://docs.capacities.io/reference/import-notes#csv-files.
Is this actually functioning? The first doc is three years old, so maybe it's outdated and the feature it describes has been deprecated. The second doc has a note at the top saying "Coming soon," but I can't tell whether the note applies to the entire page or just to the first section ("Importing notes from other apps").
Can someone clear this up for me?
-- Thanks

Marina Epelman: The warning applies to the whole page. Right now there is no bulk-import. It was released early on in our development but it was unstable so it needs to be re-built. Sorry for the confusion.

Pasting content from notion

It would be great if you accept content to be able to be pasted from notion. Now it would take too much time to migrate anything

I want to import from Notion and include the images, which currently doesn't work even if I import one page as a markdown or HTML file (the images are exported in a separate folder)

Any updates? Waiting to import from Obsidian

Import Note Plan or bulk import of markdown or plain text files. Can't really continue if we can't import files.

request: import Day One app data
T
Tomoaki Yamada
Currently, I manage my work information using Capacities and keep my diary in Day One App. Having used Day One App for an extended period, it would be incredibly helpful if I could migrate all my data to Capacities. Since Day One App supports JSON export, I would greatly appreciate it if you could add an import feature for this format to Capacities.

non started if I cannot import from Evernote

Henri van der Merwe agree - with 10+ years of content in EN it hard to transition to Capacities although it is vastly superior from architectural pow.
I would be ok with ability to import as PDFs as long as I can search the PDF's content, i.e. would be ok to lose the structural elements from EN and just rely on free-text lookup.
All new content in Capacities will be searchable leveraging all Capacities meta-data.
While waiting for this, will try out adding a Reference object EverNote with link to my web-account and use that as my free-text lookup...

Notion please!🥹 I've been searching for three years for a note-taking app that works better than Notion for what I need (PKMS), and I finally found it! But now I have to move so much data to be able to start using Capacities.
