Jadran 0 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I have tried to use the Evernote app for a new user account on a MacBook Pro laptop. The same account already exists for another user. When opening the app an error message displays: The file "current-quicknote" couldn't be saved in the folder "xxxxx" [this lists my user folder] because a file with the same name already exists. To save the file provide a different name or move aside or delete the existing file and try again. I have tried completely removing and reinstalling the app but the message appears each time the app starts up. After I dismiss the error message the app appears to function normally. How to I make the error message go away? How do I "save the file with a different name" or "move aside" or "delete the existing file"? Link to comment
unicodemonkey 6 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Open Finder, press Cmd-Shift-G, go to folder "~/Library/Group Containers/Q79WDW8YH9.com.evernote.Evernote/Evernote/quick-note/" (without quotes). The folder in question will be there. I just deleted the existing current-quicknote file (it's a link to the actual quick note file, actually). I think deleting this file resets the current quick note in the menu bar widget, so make sure you don't keep anything important there. Link to comment
tj101 0 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 hi, i have the same error on my macbook. Tried the technique described above but didn't get resolved.Unicodemonkey - when you say you deleted the file, what specific file should I delete? There is a folder there with a couple of shortcuts and some files and folders....any guidance will be appreciated Link to comment
unicodemonkey 6 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I've deleted the "current-quicknote" shortcut in the ~/Library/Group Containers/Q79WDW8YH9.com.evernote.Evernote/Evernote/quick-note/unicodemonkey__Evernote folder. I can't remember if I did anything else, but this was the only file named 'current-quicknote' in my entire home folder. It could also be a file permissions issue in your case. Link to comment
