Arek R. 0 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Often I'm taking some notes when watching a video presentation in the other window thus need to constantly switching between browser and evernote client I mean like 5-20s And very often the client drives me crazy as I need to wait for the cursor like a few seconds, it seems the app is not responsive at all Link to comment

You really need to do this on a split screen / two screens / two devices - I often watch videos and presentations on a tablet and take notes on a laptop. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,819 Posted October 4, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Don't know the specs, but both activities sound like resource hogs. Depending on the amount of memory and CPU power, it could be the tablet is swapping between RAM memory and flash memory. This would explain why it is taking a moment when switching apps. Running EN and YouTube in split view on my iPad does not show this effect: Both apps are snappy, the cursor in the EN note stays active while I can interact with the video in the other part of the screen. When I switch to EN, I can start typing right away. In general Windows on a tablet is still Windows, running on a tablet ... Link to comment

It worked for the prior versions, this is the way I'm working for years. I think split windows doesn't help either. What I see when evernote window gain focus it starts to save the note and for some reason it takes like 4-5 seconds and the window is locked during this time. So there're 2 areas to investigated or improve - policy where a note is saved - is there a timer or tiggered by evens like focus/unfocus - this saving time I think is very long and it's not about my internet wire.

I don't know whether Evernote could 'fix' the situation, or whether they would want to because of the investment in time and effort against any actual benefit to a large number of users. Regardless, even if it happens any fix is going to take some time to implement. Meantime you need to find a way to take notes that doesn't stress your system or network connection. Maybe watch on one device and take notes on another in a local word-processor - save the file into Evernote when you've finished watching the talk... 1 Link to comment
