Hello Jérôme,
1/ I have added the Library/Caches/Metadata/VoodooPad in the library
location documents in Foxtrot. Yes, you're right; it makes more sense ...
2/ After that, I have checked, as you suggested, the list of importers when
launching Foxtrot (and to answer to your question : yes, the VoodooPad
importer is present on my machine). And after that...it works ! That's
great.
Thanks a lot for your help !!
