Over the weekend I filled my Evernote account with some paper stuff, invoices etc.
After I've finished, my Evernote Mac client showed some strange behavior:
- Whenever I tried to do a search within all notebooks, it didn't filter anything but still showed all notes. But it didn't highlight any text found.
- More serious, I wasn't able to reset the search.
- And I wasn't able to select any other notebook.
The effect is similar to what has been posted here.
The only way to revive Evernote was to restart the application
Took me a complete reinstall of Evernote on several Macs, a complete reload of the database from the Evernote server, trashing all preferences etc. - which all didn't help - until I found the culprit by isolating each note into a separate notebook and doing a search just within this notebook.
I had imported 7 invoices from T-Mobile Germany as PDFs, which I've downloaded from the web (not scanned), into Evernote. Whenever I do a search on a notebook, that contains one of these notes, Evernote enters this coma state.
Interestingly the IPhone and the webclient have not problems wit these PDFs. Didn't test on windows.
I can't post these invoices publicly, because they contain private data, but I can move them to a shared notebook and share it with Evernote support, so you can have a look into the structure of these PDFs.
