bigfathunkofcheese 0 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Recently clean installed 10.10.4, new hard drive, Evernote v 6.1.1 (452243 Direct). 1,000 lines of text, just words, no special formatting, copy from text editor paste to EN, works. 5,000 lines of text, EN hangs. I let it go for 5 minutes, fan starts up. I used to be able to past large blocks of text into EN, what happened? Pasting to the browser version works fine. Is there a way to paste large blocks of text into EN (Mac)? Link to comment
Ex Employees annah 133 Posted September 23, 2015 Ex Employees Share Posted September 23, 2015 I'm unable to reproduce this on 6.1.1 - pasting a 5,000 line block of text from a text editor (TextEdit, in my case) takes about 2 seconds. Where are you pasting it from? Can you also give some more information about your Mac? Link to comment

" and kept copying and pasting it. 2009 Macbook Pro, 8GB. Link to comment
Ex Employees annah 133 Posted September 24, 2015 Ex Employees Share Posted September 24, 2015 Got it, now I can reproduce somewhat - pasting 5,000 lines of text from TextWrangler took about 2 minutes (and the app was unresponsive during that time). However after the 2 minutes it pasted fine and the app became responsive again. Pasting it from TextWrangler to TextEdit, then from TextEdit to Evernote took about 5 seconds, so that may be a workaround for now if this is something you do often. I'll see what I can find out about why pasting specifically from TextWrangler is causing the app to hang. Link to comment

However, I found that if I open a large text file in Pages, cut and paste works, regardless of size of buffer. Link to comment
bigfathunkofcheese 0 Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 Thought I'd try again, version 6.4. This is still a problem. Paste a big block of text from TextEdit, Textwrangler. Evernote has to be force quit. From Pages it works. Link to comment
