vertices 3 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 So FRUSTRATING!! First of all encryption used to work and work fine. Sometime around a year ago it broke. Now when you have a multi-line encrypted field, you can't paste into it. Or if you can, it only lets you do 1 line, then if you do, hitting enter doesn't properly insert a new line. Plus it constantly collapses when trying to do paste operation. It's simply broken. So the only way to actually paste in a block of text and edit it in an encrypted field is to first decrypt the field permanently. Then make your edits, and re-encrypt. Then guess what, your unencrypted version is stored in your note history with no way to remove it!! Sure I guess could complete the whole note each time, make a new and start over. Broken encryption edits and no way to edit your history to remove something you don't in there?!? That is a ton of work and severe headache! Not to mention the overall user interface has just gone downhill. The mobile clients are irritating at best. Been a premium user for years now, but I might finally start looking around at other options. $70 a year for basic note taking and it mostly just frustrates me now. Link to comment

Is this a problem in a particular Evernote client? It seems to work fine in the Windows client. Link to comment
vertices 3 Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 Windows 10. Have tried on multiple computers. If you have a large encrypted field, you can't paste into it. Or if you can, it's very limited and broken. I have seen other posts about it in the past from others. Link to comment
vertices 3 Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 But what' even more crazy is the note history. I can't edit that? I can't delete a version I don't want in there? Link to comment
vertices 3 Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 What if I just want to delete all historical version of a document? No way to do that? Version history must be manageable in some way. Link to comment
vertices 3 Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 The only other odd thing I have found about the editing of the encrypted field is sometimes after a permanent decrypt and re-encrypt, it will work normally for a while, then the problem seems to come back. This doesn't always work, but sometimes it does. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,667 Posted December 10, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted December 10, 2016 Previous note history (that's ALL note history) is lost If you copy the note and delete the original or move it to a Local Notebook, sync and move back. In each case the new note will have no history beyond its current content. You can also export to ENEX, delete the original and re-import; same effect. There are also options like Saferoom which offers third-party note encryption... Link to comment
