Storing files in the vault....I can't figure it out😦

There are two ways to add files in the 1Password desktop app:

1) Create a new Document (a category) and add the file

2) Use any existing record and Attach a File (multiple files can be attached to a record, but one at a time).

The https://1password.community/discussion/101693/moving-to-1password-from-another-password-manager has a txt2notes converter which will add any referenced files, even in folders (optionally, recursively) and creates Secure Notes from those. This enhanced the feature of 1Password versions prior to 8 where you could drag simple text files into 1Password to create items. However, it handles only text and RTF files.

If it would help you, I could add a capability to the converter suite to do what you want. I'd just need your guidance as to how you'd like the feature to work (e.g. all files into a new single record? Each file into a new record?). It may be possible to re-work the txt2notes converter, or I may just create a new one for this purpose.

There is a limit on how much data you can push to 1Password. I believe it is 1 or 2 Gb. It won't be possible for the converter to know how much storage you've already used, so any attempt to import a generated 1PUX will just fail if that limit is exceeded.

Let me know your thoughts here.
