- **Bear Version** :Version 2.7.3 (14315)
- **OS Version** :Sequoia 15.7.5
- **What were you doing** : Importing .textbundle
- **What feature did you use** : File\>Import Notes…
- **What happened** : “Nothing to Import”
- **What did you expect to happen** : .texbundle should be imported as new note

This worked reliably until recently, likely the last update but I am not sure.

I export a note as a .textbundle. Then when I reimport I get a notification that says “Nothing to Import”

I’ve tried with even a very simple note with a one-word title and a sentence of text. No special characters or formatting.

Exporting/Importing as Markdown still works.

Importing the same file in iOS does work, but it does not have an option to Keep original creation and modification date like Mac does.

Hello,

Sorry for this issue. Version 2.7.4 should not be affected by this textbundle import problem.
