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

Yep, looks great but can't use it at all until I can import, ideally markdown files as Page content (not as Files), retaining any embedded media/images.

Import from Roam please! Capacities looks great but I can't properly use it until I can transfer all my stuff over.
If so, please import block indents and headings correctly (not hard to do, but Obsidian's lame import from Roam doesn't, so after spending a few hours trying to fix it myself I've abandoned Obsidian without barely starting).
Maybe map empty Roam pages to tags (to make the distinction between tags and page links). E.g. if there's an empty page called Article, don't create it as a page in Capacities, but instead create a tag #Article, as various Roam pages will refer to it. (But don't do this for empty daily notes, as there are too many and unlikely to be referred to.)
Ideally let the user specify tags which correspond to Capacities object types; e.g. if a Roam page contains #book (?near the start), turn it into a Books object rather than Page in Capacities. (Or ideally, to do it more accurately, detect object types from Roam templates at the start of pages.) All Roam pages with no such object tags become Pages.
The user would need to be able to change Page objects' type in Capacities to clean up the results by turning Pages into other object types not automatically detected.

Not using your app until I can easily transfer my 2000+ notes from Obsidian

Custom CSV-based importing would be EXTREMELY handy, as I would be able to get all my data into Capacities.

Import from UpNote please.

Bulk import of images and files

Currently, images and files can only be imported one by one. It would be great if the picker supported adding multiple files at the same time.
In addition, it would be great to support drag-and-drop for multiple files as well.

Import from Evernote will be a game changer
