Is there any way that whenever any new document is created on any specific directory ( whether its downloaded and saved or created by me), automatically is imported in paperwork?
Can we do it and is it a good idea?
Hello,
There is no such feature at the moment. However there is a way to speed up PDF imports:
- when importing, you can pick a folder. `Paperwork will then look in this folder for PDF files (or images). Each PDF will be imported a document.
- and there is a little known feature of Paperwork: it never import twice the same PDF. It automatically ignores the PDF files it has already imported.
With that in mind, my usual workflow at the moment is:
- downloading all the PDF I want to import in a directory (
~/tmp/pdf) - going in Paperwork
- click “Import”
- and select this folder.
Do you know if I can write some custom script for it.
