Maintain the update date when importing to evernote

[rmcgranaghan]

Thank you for this function - it was extraordinarily useful!

Quick feature request (or request for a workaround you might already have): When I import the output .enex file to Evernote it keeps the date and time when I do the import as the last update for each note (so they all have the same date and time and sorting by 'last updated' is no longer helpful). Is there any way to maintain the last updated date and time of the note in the md2enex tool?

The tool as it works now keeps the date created, but not the date last updated.

@rmcgranaghan Hmm this is strange. It was written to handle this case - I am grabbing the modification time of the markdown file as well as the creation time, and embedding this into the .enex. You can see this here for example:

https://github.com/karloskalcium/md2enex/blob/master/tests/test1/target.enex

If your markdown file itself was modified (e.g. if it was in some other tool, and was exported), then the modification time would be the moment you exported it.

If you can send a more detailed example I can look into it but it should do the right thing.

What OS are you using? There are some difficulties with Linux in getting the creation date for example.

@rmcgranaghan I've updated the code to try one additional step to get creation dates in Linux. Please give the latest version a try and see if it is working properly - thanks!
