ahl 0 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Hi I open the new Files-menu. The first file in the list is an password-protected pdf. Evernote loop request password to continiue. It does not solve the problem to press abort button, reopen the browser, Evernote web etc. It is not possible to just click on another file because the request password window block me from doing anything. Using chromebook, chrome and Evernote web. Does anybody have an solution ? Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,078 Posted April 15 Level 5* Share Posted April 15 Hi. Do you have the same problem if you view the file in its own note? - The file section is a very new feature and typically a few bugs might still need to be squished... Please raise this with Support https://help.evernote.com/hc/requests/new (be very patient for a response) or feed it back to feedback@evernote.com. Link to comment
ahl 0 Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 Hi No, I only see the message that the pdf is password protected, and are able to choose another document without input of password. Thanks for advice, I will send the question to support. Link to comment
Evernote Expert agsteele 3,061 Posted April 16 Evernote Expert Share Posted April 16 This is probably an unanticipated bug. Definitely requires a bug report. Files is still in development. You should probably stop using it for a couple of iterations Link to comment
bmcl26 580 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Anyone else just got the "Files" section and it has effectively crippled Evernote, Keeps Freezing 1 Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,845 Posted April 16 Level 5 Share Posted April 16 Mac 10.84.3 - the files position is in the left panel. But clicking on it produces a blank main area - nothing is displayed at all. On the web client it worked right away. A logout/login then made it work on the installed client as well. On switching between Files and other positions opening the files view is pretty slow. I will wait some days - maybe it needs to run an indexing first. Link to comment
Evernote Expert agsteele 3,061 Posted April 16 Evernote Expert Share Posted April 16 No, it is just slow. Link to comment

Evernote Expert agsteele 3,061 Posted April 16 Evernote Expert Share Posted April 16 Sorry for that for you. I was referring just to the Files pull out that is slow. I haven't experienced any slowness in Evernote generally. My first response would be to uninstall with Revo Uninstaller and then reinstall. The freezing you describe feels like some corruption.

I have already uninstalled and reinstalled it, and that has slightly improved the speed unless you select the "Files" section when the whole thing comes to a standstill for quite a while. I can't appreciate the advantage of this as I have thousands of files embedded in notes, which I can find easily by searching. Plus, only PDFs and Image files work in the Files section; however, all my embedded notes open correctly in their native Programme. Link to comment

Level 5 PinkElephant 8,845 Posted April 16 Level 5 Share Posted April 16 By accident I found a neat use for it: I clipped a website to a Free test account I sometimes use. It had only this single note, so all files listed were from that clip. You would expect maybe a handful of files from that web clip. But no, there were nearly 40 files listed ! All these tracking pixels used for tracking users against their will and without consent showed up in the files list - nearly all files could not be shown, because they were a picture file with a single, white pixel. They are just used for tracking purposes - when they are downloaded, the tracker knows somebody (with all the data transferred it is a pretty individual "somebody") just opened that page.

ahl 0 Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 Yes, my experience also is very slow Evernote when I choose the new Files menu. Just trying again today, still after 30 minutes it still loading... Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,845 Posted April 16 Level 5 Share Posted April 16 With slow I meant maybe 10 seconds, for more than 30k of files. Once the files are listed everything works snappy, like changing the order field or up/down sequence. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,078 Posted April 16 Level 5* Share Posted April 16 Evernote Desktop runs very quickly on my Dell Win 11 Desktop, but even there the Files section has a bad attack of molasses. I agree it's unusable at present, but I look forward to it getting better... though I also don't know why I'd go there for a file rather than look at the note it's attached to. Unless there's a possibility that the if file becomes detached from the individual note I could still find it there? (But shouldn't it be in Note History too??) Confused. 1 Link to comment

First 20 "elements" are from a note that includes a Web clip and 1 attached file. The attachment is there. The other 19 are the usual sort of logos, stock photos, etc., you find on every Website. There are also svg_1 through svg_8, which display no preview or other information. There's a search feature, but it only searches filenames, not within OCRed attachments. Suggestion: Ask the person who developed this feature to take the person who decided to color internal links blue out for lunch. Then lock the building. 1 Link to comment

Since I've experienced some 'untitled attachments' recently I hope files - once it works - will let you search for attachment names. Thus I could determine whether the 'untitled attachments' are a real problem or only a handful of notes that are affected. That indeed would be handy. 1 Link to comment
Feitz 264 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 14 minutes ago, Dave-in-Decatur said: There's a search feature, but it only searches filenames ah, thanks for confirming. So far I only have a blank screen when I hit 'files'. EDIT: ... and V10 processes go through the roof. With 80 GB of data this (indexing?) will probably take a week or two, maybe BS QA should test new features on a large database... EDIT2: moving away from the files section won't calm things down, very high CPU load, fans full throttle, no screen refresh in Evernote, no thumbnails, everything blank and V10 basically frozen. EDIT3: Maybe they should stop releasing these early alpha state features to the wild? Link to comment
