Can't get -p option (or --remarkable-path) to work

[robfreundlich]

No matter what I try, the PDF file ends up in the / directory. Here's a sample session:

rob@Platinum:/mnt/e/downloads$ p2r -p /Tools temp.pdf
rob@Platinum:/mnt/e/downloads$ rmapi ls /Tools

Note that although I'm using a local file here, I started out using a URL and simplified down to the local file to minimize moving parts.

I'm running Ubuntu via WSL2 on Window 10.

Hi @robfreundlich,

Thanks for reporting this issue and sorry to hear you're having trouble. Can you try directly uploading to the Tools directory through rMapi? You can try that with this command:

rmapi put temp.pdf /Tools

If this doesn't work, can you please also try without a leading slash?
Thanks!

Hi @GjjvdBurg ,

Thanks for the quick response!

Can you try directly uploading to the Tools directory through rMapi?

Yup. That works.

can you please also try without a leading slash?

That has the same result - the file just goes to the root folder.

Yup. That works.

Just to clarify, does that place it in the /Tools directory or does that also place it in the root?

Using rMapi directly puts it in the /Tools directory.

Howdy, it looks like the remarkable_dir argument isn't actually passed to runner() in ui.py in
https://github.com/GjjvdBurg/paper2remarkable/blob/master/paper2remarkable/ui.py#L337

Passing it there fixes this, though it looks like this should really be passed via options, though the remarkable_dir argument is currently missing from merge_options in ui.py.
