Level 5 Wern 246 Posted March 12 Level 5 Share Posted March 12 I am on WIN 10 and have installed the newest Desktop version. When I search for specific notes, it gives me a number: "X notes found". "Let's say 10 notes found". I can see ONLY one note and do not see a list with the 10 notes. Where are these 10 notes and why is only showing up 1 note? Where is the list of the 10 notes? It just drives me crazy, I have invested one hour to solve this, with no avail. I can't tell you how much I miss "Legacy", which was fast, precise, simple and had a clean interface without the awful clutter that I need to look at now. Anyhow, my requirement is not outrageous: 1. I want to see the notes list as a result of a search 2. I want to be able to just click on one of the notes in the list and read it. Sad to say, that I am getting angrier and more annoyed every day about Evernote. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,677 Posted March 12 Level 5* Share Posted March 12 Immediately after you install the new version on a desktop it will start downloading and installing your database from the server in a different format from the original legacy. The app also builds new indexes and generally does the setup work to run faster in future. If you search for a specific note while all this is going on it will be preferentially downloaded for you to work on - but there's no database to scroll through until it's all downloaded which is a single operation that is going to take a little time.

Level 5 Wern 246 Posted March 13 Author Level 5 Share Posted March 13 OK then, how do I download ALL my notes? And will I then get a clickable list of notes as a result of a search ? Link to comment

If it's not working by now I'd suggest contacting Support (I know...) and maybe considering a clean reinstall - delete the local database / uninstall with Revo or Appcleaner / restart and reinstall. 1 Link to comment
Mike P 2,644 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Always worth looking at the web version to see if that is working correctly. That is the closest you will get a definitive view of what is in the EN database online. You could potentially make it more definitive by deleting everything cached by your browser for the EN website. Link to comment
Level 5 Wern 246 Posted March 14 Author Level 5 Share Posted March 14 Thanks for the answer. It looks like all my notes are in the Web version of EN. They are not on my desktop. There should be an easy way to sync and therefore downloading all my notes to the Desktop. But there is no SYNC or Download Botton. Then how do I get my notes downloaded? Link to comment

Great news. 17 minutes ago, Wern said: Then how do I get my notes downloaded? I would sign out of EN and choose "remove my Evernote data from this device". You can then sign back in. All the data will be downloaded again. This may take some time but EN should be perfectly usable in the mean time provided you are online. 1 Link to comment
Level 5 Solution Wern 246 Posted March 16 Author Level 5 Solution Share Posted March 16 Thanks for the answers. I deleted the desktop app with revo uninstaller and then installed the app again. Thank God it looks like all the notes are there. Still think Legacy was faster, cleaner and much more uncluttered but I can live with the new version. Link to comment
