(Archived) Launching Evernote docs from Spotlight or Finder

[htmanning 0]

Until this evening I could use finder to search my PDFs. The results would show an Evernote icon next to the file indicating the PDF was in Evernote. I click on the file in Spotlight or Finder and up comes my PDF in the Evernote viewer.

Now when I find and Evernote note in Finder, it brings up Evernote but does not bring up the PDF I clicked on. Instead, it brings up Evernote with the results of the search term I used, and the results reflect the last notebook I happened to have open. Strange. Any ideas?

Can you confirm that you're running Evernote version 1.7.2 (the latest version)? Does the problem persist if you reboot your Mac?

Thanks

I'm having the same problem.

I have the latest version & booted up my computer this morning (installed update last week)

Thanks for the report. We're investigating this issue, and believe it's a bug.

Yes, I'm running 1.7.2. It just started happening last evening.

I think I have more information on this. I just did a search in Spotlight and came up with 2 Evernote docs with the same name. I clicked on one and nothing happened so I viewed the Spotlight search results in a Finder window. When I clicked on the Evernote doc from there, it gave me a message about 2 files having the same name and then automatically renamed the file. It appears that Evernote is keeping 2 versions of the file in its cache and one of them may not be linked to anything. This was a PDF that was in a note and I renamed the note. Hope that helps.
