View As Attachment vs View Inline

[amosf 1]

I like to view my attachments within notes as attachments, recently files will appear in the view inline mode.  when I right click to change viewing method the choice is not always available.  This is happening on my Mac but not on my Windows computer.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure you have a current backup and the latest version of Evernote installed on the Mac.  Consider resetting everything with an uninstall/ reinstall - https://evernote.com/contact/support/kb/#!/article/24422932

I don't see how a reinstall would help this issue.  Reinstall is easy to suggest, but it shouldn't be thrown out as the first recourse.

Reinstall can be a long, painful process if you have lots of Notes.

 

In this case, I believe the most recent versions of Evernote have this issue.  I've seen a number of users report it.

 

@amosf: you might try this first, before trying a reinstall (which may or may not help):

1. Check Evernote Preferences and make sure the default for "PDFs and Office Docs" is "As Attachments"
2. Before right-clicking on the attachment, select it (click and drag across the attachment).
