Default note location is missing local notebooks

[cownow 0]

For security reasons I cannot use cloud storage in Evernote. Therefore, I'm using local notebooks.

However, when I go to Preferences, the option that sets the default location for the notes only has one choice: my Shared notebook. None of my local notebooks are listed.

What do I need to do to avoid notes being placed in a shared notebook by default? I'm on a Mac.

Thanks!

The setting for default notebook is an account wide setting. for all your devices and web
It has to be a sync'd notebook.
