Wilburguy 30 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Hi, I beta test for some other software companies and on a Mac we can have several different versions of the app in the Applications folder provided we change the name of the older version, ie App v.3, App v.4, etc Can this be done with Evernote? Could I rename the current version "Evernote Legacy" and then install the new version and still have access to both? I see I'm gonna have to update sometime (ugh) so I want to be able to try out the new version. Link to comment
Level 5* DTLow 5,744 Posted February 13, 2021 Level 5* Share Posted February 13, 2021 Yes, both Legacy and Version 10 can be installed and run side-by-side They use the same master data source on the Evernote servers and different local data storage The official Legacy product can be installed from https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052560314-Install-an-older-version-of-Evernote It's already named Evernote Legacy, and doesn't auto-upgrade 1 Link to comment
brian_t_grant 45 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 @DTLow is correct. I have had both Legacy & v10 installed side-by-side, on and off since v10 was released. Since I was interested in getting familiar with v10 as much as possible, I usually keep Legacy in a zip file and unzip it when I need something that v10 doesn't yet support or if I want to do some feature comparison between the two. The reason I keep Legacy zipped up is that I want all of my evernote:// links from other apps to open in v10. For whatever reason, as long as Legacy is available, those App Links will open in Legacy instead of v10; keeping Legacy in a zip file prevents this from happening. 1 Link to comment
Wilburguy 30 Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 Hi am very thankful that I can have both versions available. The current version is not ready for prime time although I'm trying hard to make it work. But there are still so many things that are either broken or haven't been carried over from the older version... 1 Link to comment
