  1. Still working for me, except that it's now a bit more tricky to change the name of the function. Alternatively, you can always use the Mail function to send to EN: Create an email address in your Contacts with a catchy name (e.g. called "Evernote Mail") with the address of your unique EN forwarding address. Send the mail here and it will create a new EN note in PDF format.
  2. For me, roughly $10/month is great value— —compared to a few cups of coffee per month, or even the gas and wear-and-tear on my car driving to a coffee shop, or multiple online TV subscriptions, or local TV channels on cable TV, let alone the absurdly high price most of us pay for cellphone service in the US, or the two $20/month cellular data plans for our cars, or magazines (paper and online subscriptions), other software subscriptions...etc.. For the all the features in a paid subscription that I use, EN is tremendous value, and would be one of the last things I would give up if I were short of cash!
  3. The app launches, but attempting login I repeatedly get the error message: "Something went wrong at our end, sorry about that. Please try restarting Evernote". Tried repeated restarts/shutdowns/logins with password or Apple login. Tried disabling 2-step verification. [Login on web or second mac works fine.] The lack of response from level 2 Tech Support is alarming: is the department completely overloaded with requests? Surely login ability should be high on their triage process? Any suggestions? I hesitate to completely uninstall/reinstall since the last time I had resorted to the "nuclear option" it took 2 months for the local database to be rebuilt (mostly), so offline use on this machine is out of the question. [imac, OS 13.5.1, EN 10.61.5, personal subscription]
  4. Agreed. A fresh installation of EN on a mac took over 2 months to build a local database of (38K) Notes, with an estimated 5% of Note contents still missing. The build appears to have stalled. This won't matter to many, but is important for people who want to use EN offline and search for Note contents.
  5. 1. The latest app version is available for direct download at the website. Automatic notifications for "Update Available" appear to be rolled out at staggered rate (presumably to reduce demand?). 2. I discovered that the toggle for the Help/Troubleshooting menu (Opt key + select Help) works when viewing the All-Notes window, not a single Note window, explaining why this feature appeared to be intermittent for me :~) My Setup: 2020 M1 macbook OSX Ventura 10.13.1 EN 10.58.3 (downloaded from En website, not App Store)
  6. Hi PE, this approach was useful in the past years when I had a suspected corrupted database/configuration, but I can't get it to work now. I am stuck with a local database of a tiny fraction of my Notes, making offline EN impossible. How do I get a full rebuild/install to work now? Is this a personal glitch or a general "feature" of the latest version? (I have a full install on a separate Mac, but am hesitant to experiment with a reinstall on this machine for fear of destroying this setup as well!) THX. ----------------- Mac OS OS 13.0.1 M1 silicon macbook EN 10.58.3
  7. PLEASE will someone explain why they have a problem with EN 10 on an M1 mac! Pleas be specific, rather than just complaining. I use an 2020 M1 macbook air and a 2017 Intel imac dozens of times every day for my workflow, using the same database. I cannot detect any difference in performance between the two, except that the Intel version loads more slowly. (My test: searching for a pair of words occurring seldom in the 35K+ notes; clicking on a series of 20 notes to see how fast the contents display). Yes, EN 10+ is slower than EN 7+, but EN 7 is history. My only small gripe is that the M1 can slow down and run low on RAM if many apps or web pages are open at the same time. The remedy is obvious.
  8. As a trial, using mac/EN 10.29.7 I exported a 100-note notebook into ENEX format. Import failed after 87 notes...
  9. If you have a new mac (or a fresh installation on an older mac) EN needs to create a new local database. In my experience this can take many hours (or even days for a large database). At least for me, the key was to leave the app open continuously until the database reached its full size (monitored with app cleaner). My new M1 (in early 2021) used massive amounts of CPU, disk access and power initially—at the same time, slowing functions like creating new notes. I don't know if this problem is true for others, or if it has been remedied in more recent app updates. As a rule, I just leave the app open all the time, and new notes can be created in a second or less. FWIW launching EN on my M1 macbook is much faster than on my 4-year old Intel imac.
  10. What performance are you seeing that was not present on an intel mac?
  11. I keep the app open continuously, and get a new note in about a second on both imac/intel and macbook/M1. What problem are you having?
  12. @Ovine What exactly is your performance issue? For me, searching a large database on my M1, works fast; just like on my Intel mac. I don't see any problems with launch; in fact it's much faster than on my Intel machine. I do recall that after a fresh installation of EN it can take a long time (hours) to build a local database (mine is ~20GB)—but this is equally true for a fresh installation on an Intel machine. For me, launch speed on M1 was fine once the database had been created. On the other hand, the very heavy memory drain, even when the app is inactive, is a concern. I suspect that sluggish performance for some users might a consequence of running low on memory with many open apps.
