Zim

Create page for folder which only contains attachments

Asked by Jon

I confess I am still very much a beginner with Zim. I am trying to create a Zim notebook using an existing folder tree. It successfully identifies pages (txt files with headers) and attachments (txt files without headers - and other file types).

But Zim apparently does not attempt to create a page (node?) in the notebook for folders that contain NO valid txt files (only attachments, or even empty folders).

I would like an option or script /tool to do this, so that Zim structure mirrors the folder tree exactly.

Thanks!

Jon

This implies writing a script that creates an empty page file for each
folder.

I realise that now you said it, so I will do that!

But for Zim, it would be nice if it had an option to behave like this.

Thanks
