lsilvam 8 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 hey, it is happening to me that when I drag and drop 5 different MS Word files into a note they all change the name and have the same name... any clues why is this happening and how can I prevent this to happen? thanks current build: 6.9.5.6679 (306679) Prerelease (CE Build ce-1.39.4193) Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 8,605 Posted February 7, 2018 Level 5* Share Posted February 7, 2018 Hi. Are we talking 5 similar files with version numbers, or 5 completely different names? IE myfiles-1.docx / myfiles-2.docx etc, or myfiles-1.docx / yourphotos.docx / sounds.docx ??? Link to comment
lsilvam 8 Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 different names but with same label like #ABC_name1.docx Link to comment

I assumed it was to save space. Why save several copies of exactly the same text? An edit to one was replicated in all the others. Don't know how different a name has to be to keep the files from merging, but it might be worth experimenting with different names. If the files are all attached to a note titled or tagged #ABC, could you not just keep the individual different names? It's worth an experiment anyway to see if this truly is your issue...

What do you think? Link to comment
lsilvam 8 Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 EUREKA! found the issue. Apparently, Evernote reads the file content and if the file content is the same although with a different file name the files are not attached to the note as different files. What I did previously was to create black MS Word documents with different names. I just added random text in them and the attachment was successful! Thanks for your input @gazumped ! (AH! this @mention should be implemented inside notes if they are shared ) 1 Link to comment
