@lapcatsoftware I mean drag-import to EagleFiler, which tells it to convert the .mbox folder hierarchy of .emlx files into an mbox file.
@lapcatsoftware Or drag-import the .mbox folder from the Finder.
@lapcatsoftware You could try importing them with EagleFiler’s capture key to generate a fresh mailbox file.

@shepgo The Wirecutter also lists zero USB-C hubs: thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-u…
@shepgo This recent iMore article about the “best USB-C hubs” doesn’t actually list any that increase the number of USB-C ports.
@shepgo It only adds one port, has 1.7 stars, and is “coming soon.”
@shepgo Could you share some links? I’ve looked quite a bit, and the "best" I’ve found is this one: belkin.com/us/p/P-F4U090/
@eli_schiff I haven’t done the math, but from memory the tap targets are bigger on iOS despite the smaller screen.
@eli_schiff Much higher density with pen, though…
@shepgo As I recall, it didn’t take this many years for there to be USB 2.0 hubs available. Also, USB 2.0 was connector-compatible.
@lapcatsoftware I thought it was supposed to be in Swift 4, but I haven’t checked.

@parkerwightman Agreed. I only wrote it that way because if you aren’t already using it, now is the earliest you can start.
@rustyshelf @stroughtonsmith @wilshipley Yeah, Swift 2 to 3 was not that bad for me, either, though I didn’t have as much code then.
