(Archived) Renaming Business Notebooks Faulty

[dspapps 6]

I have a problem renaming business notebooks.  This seems to be relating to sync.

 

Steps to reproduce:

 

1) Create a business notebook called 'Bert'

2) Add it to a notebook stack

3) Rename the business notebook to 'Ernie'

4) Add notes to the notebook

5) Click Sync (I want to generate links...)

 

Result = My notebook is named back to 'Bert' again for some reason.

 

To fix the problem I have to rename 'Bert' to 'Ernie' for a second time.

 

Bug reported.

Hi again dspapps!

 

Without trying it myself - in work and busy! I think the problem may be you need to sync before making the change. 

 

So create 'Bert', add it to a Notebook stack, then sync.

Then rename it to 'Ernie' add Notes and sync again.

 

Just guessing and it would be what I would try first.

 

If you have not tried by the time I get home I will have a try for you.

 

Best regards

Let us know if what Chris suggested doesn't work. Mac or PC? 

[dspapps 6]

Thanks for the suggestion.  Unfortunately those steps don't work.

 

Windows XP PC 4.6.4.8136

 

Steps:

 

 

1) Create a business notebook called 'Bert'

2) Add it to a notebook stack

3) Rename the business notebook to 'Ernie'

4) Sync manually and wait for it to finish

5) Add notes to the notebook

 

 

The business notebook changes back to Bert by itself while I am adding the notes to the notebook.

 

Subsequently I deleted the notes from the notebook now called Bert.

 

What I am left with is an empty business notebook I cannot delete or leave.

 

The 'Leave Notebook' option is greyed out in the right button context menu.

 

Any suggestions what to do next?

 

(I have tried syncing)

Hi dspapps,

 

Home now and when Evernote boots up I will give it a try and see what I get.

 

Oh, to delete the Notebook you need to go into the Admin Console.

 

Best regards

Hi dspapps,

 

Using Windows 7 and Evernote 4.6.4.8136

 

Went through exactly as you have listed and Ernie is still with me!

 

When you created Bert, did you try and sync then before you changed the name to Ernie? I didn't by the way, I did the same as you did. But it is worth trying the sync before you change the name.

 

Best regards

Hi dspapps,

 

Just come back to my computer and discovered!!!

 

Folder has been renamed back to Bert!

 

So fault has been replicated!

 

I can also confirm that this is on the web as well. Very odd!

 

Did you raise a support ticket?

 

Best regards

Hi Guys, 

 

I was just able to confirm this as well. dspapps, you reported this correct? 

[dspapps 6]

I reported it and support say:

 

 

You are correct. Unfortunately renaming is not an option at this time.

Hopefully this may change in the future.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Thank you!
