Slow [2 minutes+] to make shared notebooks


Richard Allaway

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

As an educator I have a premium account.  I have created a shared notebook for each of my students - so we can both add resources and both leave feedback etc.  However it takes over 2 minutes to create each shared notebook - with the application syncing etc.  Is there any reason why this is so slow?  

 

Thank you for your help and ideas!

You're presumably going to have a lot of notebooks on a one per student basis.  You could set all the notebooks up and then share,  or you could set up one notebook to share 'out' and invite all the students by email.  They'll each need a free account to see the notes and they can share one notebook back with you.  The process would be to copy the work out of your notebook,  make any changes / additions of their own and share it back to you for evaluation...

Good question Richard.  Maybe someone knowledgeable from Evernote will respond.

Even better, maybe the Evernote developers will learn of this issue, and do something to optimize/speed up the process.

i have the same problem. after i create multiple notebooks on my android, the sync time on the windows version can be as long as 10 minutes, during which evernote becomes completely unresponsive, even if those new notebooks are all empty. 

 

also everytime i type in the search box, evernote freezes for a few seconds as soon as i type in the first two letters. however, when i ctrl-v an entire word or phrase to the search box there's no delay at all.

You're aware that Evernote by default has a 'search as you type' interface,  so manually typing T...e...s...t in the search box starts looking for all notes starting 'T',  then 'Te',  etc?  It's possible to switch that behaviour off if it's a problem...

nvm. i found a stupid work around. i kept creating new notebooks on my android until i got 250. then i started sync windows client and went to bed. this morning i had all the books synced. i don't ever have to create new books again. just have to put all the unused books in a stack and take one out and rename it when i need to.
