You're making false assumptions and spread utter BS as usual when someone is not happy with V10. I have a M1 Mac Mini running V10 on Ventura/Sonoma since the introduction of Ventura in October '22. Since it has a gorgeous 43" screen I tried to use V10 on that machine multiple times but always ran into issues that made me return to my Monterey MacBook Pro and Legacy. i simply don't want to put up with duplicate notes, disappearing attachments, miraculously disappearing content (all acknowledged issues, not just fantasies of a Legacy user). 2 Link to comment

Would be interesting to know if any impact, plus or minus. Confusing: I went offline assigned tag ">>6" to some notes navitated to other notes (changed notes are not seen in note list) reconnected to iNet ==> Error came up because any note has an open RTE room 😞 Next try: the same but closed EN before reconnecting to iNet (to view execution of the Receipe) ==> All OK (because EN closes all rooms on exit?) So OK, theoretical WAR (WordARound) found - but unusable. It's unpredictable how long I should wait to re-open EN because Receipes work on foreign servers... It's a bad solution to close/open an App to avoid its fails. And: during my offline-tests I found many notes beeing not synced - after at least 3 weeks of working with this account (of 11.400 notes). I really need an indicator to see whether EN is able to work offline (means: "all syncs done"!) 1 Link to comment

Probably not. BS says they will block legacy starting 3/24 and seem to be doing already, accidental or otherwise. A way to possibly use EN with legacy for a longer term would be to turn off your internet connection before starting the app. After x'ing out of closing, NEVER logging out, start your internet connection again. Not logging out was a standard practice back when to be sure one had access when out of internet coverage. Be sure you are logged in before you start any of this. 3 minutes ago, AlbertR said: @all: Is any Windows/networking crack here who knows how to cut an application off from internet while Windows itself (and all other apps) keeps being online?

BTW v10 is still doesn't open attached file with double-click or right-click menu - you have to open it in internal viewer and from there you can click-click-click open file (image for example) with app you need. Usability my a$$. ... Also I know about 'hidden' refresh/reload commands in v10 - tried to used them on macbook at work - and they seemed to do nothing. So I prefer to have 'sync' button and sync (or NOT sync) when needed. Just on these 2 points: On an image, I can right-click and select Open, and it opens in the system default image app; or Save As to, you know.... Other options too, of course. Same with a PDF or Word doc. In fact, I just checked, and a double-click opens any of those attachments in the default app. The reason the refresh/reload commands seem to do nothing may be that there's nothing for them to do. For me, they do refresh the app (its window flashes and reappears). Honestly, I've wished for a long time that Evernote would put a dummy Sync button in the interface, just to give people something to click so they'd feel secure. As for not syncing except when clicked ... where I live we have power failures once in awhile; sometimes I push my device to the edge of its battery and a leetle bit beyond. I'm real glad to have Evernote sync all the time and not wait for me to click. 1 Link to comment

Have to be careful since if you don't have the rule running when you fire up Legacy you will start syncing and may get logged out by the server, post 3/23. I think Airplane mode would be fine for ad hoc lookups and a place to keep the data with better conversion tools during a transition.

pkill 1 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 KI - Regedit Yes, it is possible to achieve this configuration in Regedit. Here are the steps you can follow: 1. Open Regedit by pressing Windows Key + R, then typing "regedit" and pressing Enter. 2. Navigate to the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options. 3. Right-click on the "Image File Execution Options" key and select "New" > "Key" to create a new key. 4. Name the new key after the executable file of the old version that you want to keep offline (e.g., old_version.exe). 5. Right-click on the newly created key and select "New" > "String Value". 6. Rename this string value as "Debugger". 7. Double-click on the newly created string value ("Debugger") and set its value data as "%1". By following these steps, whenever you try to launch the old_version.exe, it will automatically trigger a debugger (%1), causing it not to run. Please note that modifying settings in Regedit can have serious consequences for your system if done incorrectly. It is recommended to back up your registry before making any changes or consult with a professional if you are unsure about what you're doing 1 Link to comment

I don’t see any use case for this, because the syncing of content is at the heart of what makes up EN. But feel free. If you mean EN by „the company“, you are wrong with the assumption that anything cost them time and money. They close the server access on the announced date, and be done.

Not the best nor long term use case, but maybe for a procrastinator to use legacy to port their data, particularly if access is being shutdown before next month re other posts. May not be any storage savings until BS eliminates free. Static Free accounts are still accessible via V10 Web? I’m fairly sure. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,802 Posted February 27 Level 5 Share Posted February 27 Storage savings will result when the keeping of data for legacy and v10/RTE can be abandoned. The incompatible data structure leads to keep things twice - whenever a user is running on legacy and v10 (for example on mobile or web) in parallel.

Regor 3 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Hello, One question please: I received notification that Evernote Legacy will be permanently shut down on March 23, 2024. I use Android 8.

Level 5 PinkElephant 8,802 Posted February 27 Level 5 Share Posted February 27 The minimum system requirement for the modern v10 client is Android 9 (it used to be Android 10, but they lowered this by one notch).

On iOS it is pretty simple, because the OS already brings a quite usable note taking app. Link to comment

I don't know what phone you're using, but if it won't update to at least Android 9, it won't be able to run up-to-date Evernote. As for alternatives, it would help to know what your uses for Evernote are. If you only want to use it on that phone, then there are lots of localized note apps. I like ColorNote. Of course Samsung has its own note apps for their devices. But if you want to sync notes from that phone to other devices without Evernote, something in Google's offerings (Docs, Keep, etc.) might work. But there is nothing really similar to Evernote, AFAIK.

Level 5 PinkElephant 8,802 Posted February 27 Level 5 Share Posted February 27 I think it actually does store data, when you move between client generations. And there will be little legacy desktop users who still fiddle with legacy mobile. On iOS it is impossible since long, and I doubt on Android many are actually downloading apps from "alternative" sources. So if you run legacy desktop and mobile v10, you cause a permanent flow of conversions to and fro. I don't think an account is really doing this on the fly all of the time. Especially the metadata used for search and similar must be duplicated - you can't rebuild them permanently. Link to comment

Based on the diversity of the assets you are storing EN makes it easy. So why are you taking offence and why are you in the Legacy discussion? This forum is for people who Legacy is the only solution based on their use case. When I like something, I don't go to the forums and defend it, life is too short. Go live your best life. Trying to be supportive because I understand the frustration. I loved Legacy and I loved my 6 win 7 desktops at my office. Legacy started to misbehave with win 7 and I was forced to upgrade to v10 which also worked poorly on win 7. Finally, I was compelled to upgrade all 6 desktops to win 10 and to accept v10 into my life. In the process my trusty, old paid-for Adobe X and Quicbooks 9 wouldn’t work well on win 10 and I was forced into their newer, crappier and predatory annual subscriptions. So the arrival of v10 cost me thousands of dollars and I also hated it. After griping and seething I simply had to accept it and change my workflow. Long story short, overall very happy with it now and looking forward to more improvements. I hope this story is helpful to others who may also be in a similar situation. 4 Link to comment

But if you count all the years with no price increases, the raise is not that outstanding... 2 hours ago, Boudreaux Associates said: I will start looking to see what else is out there. I would save the time (my opinion). It has been tried by many other - with less success. If you're an EN user over a long time, you it's very hard to find a real replacement. 2 hours ago, Boudreaux Associates said: It seem like Evernote is upsetting alot of people for more than one reason. Hmmm. Maybe the beginning of the end for Evernote. I don't think so. Really upsetted people have been using free accounts with no income for Evernote. No income -> no future. Stable income -> bright future 😉 2 1 Link to comment

hmart 5 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I use the latest version of Evernote on my Mac (10.91.3) for all my work, but I keep a macOS VM with Evernote Legacy (7.14.1) installed so that I can backup all my notes once a month. Having no personal backup is a no-go, so I am forced to continue to use Legacy, even though I have no idea what compatibility issues might arise should I have to perform a full restore. Unfortunately, I seems I am now getting a Synchronization Failed message as soon as I open Legacy and it will not sync. All other Internet-connected apps are working fine. 1 Link to comment

It will not sync. Use evernote-backup on GitHub to backup your notes. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,802 Posted June 11 Level 5 Share Posted June 11 @hmart oh, you use legacy to backup all of your notes. Brilliant, backups are so important. Question: Did you ever check your backup ? I mean, did you check to find out if it worked ? No. No, I know you never did. If you did your would have found out that your notes are there, but all of them on one big heap of notes. Notebooks ? Not there, no trace of them. At least if you did what many legacy users did: Select all, run backup. The resulting ENEX file has no notebook information. In addition if the file is above 10 GB (or 20GB, depending on your subscription) you can’t restore it, because you run into your upload limit. It will not work the next month either, because it starts from zero again. Which means the only backup keeping up your notes organization is by backing up each notebook to a new ENEX file. For this you don’t need legacy, v10 does the same. Or for a more comfortable backup use the GitHub Evernote Backup project. Ah, and as mentioned: Legacy is dead, obsolete, and will never be allowed to reach the servers with all our content again. 3 Link to comment
