  1. A couple of approaches that work for me: 1. --Create an EN address in your Contact list (with the address corresponding to your unique EN email) - e.g. call it "EVER" --Select the item you want to Share --Click the "Send In Mail" option in your Print Menu --Address to "EVER". --Send. This will create a PDF note in EN. 2. The "Share" menu in apps such as the Finder or Photos also now has Email to "EVER" in the list of options. This approach worked for everything I have tried, even with password-protected Pages or Numbers files. As noted elsewhere by one of our EN gurus (I don't recall who), you can even save the material with a note title, notebook and tags by editing the Subject line of the email using the following format: Subject: YOURNOTETITLE@YOURNOTEBOOKNAME#YOURTAGNAME
  2. While Keep It has some attractive features, in my trial, only about 60% of notes imported correctly.
  3. Exactly what are you trying to do that doesn't work in EN 10?
  4. When the note list is in focus the title will be surrounded by a blue box. This will turn grey if you shift the focus to the note contents. According to the new set of shortcuts (can see full list using cmd-/) cmd-| will move the focus back to the note list and restore the up/down arrows to move through the list of notes. (NB the | character is the vertical bar character above the return key—first time in 45 years that I have used this key!)
  5. The popup is especially galling because it seems to hype what's "coming soon"—but the future appears to focus on EXTRA features, not the current performance debacle. Of course I'm delighted by new (or restored) features: I just hope this philosophy is not distracting the programmers from launching a stable app.
  6. I had glacial performance around the same time—could this be a variable server problem, rather than an issue with the app itself?
  7. I have the following problems when trying to search my database offline: 1. The search box often refuses to accept text input 2. Depending on the search term, Search is extremely slow (e.g. 2-4 minutes), making it virtually unusable. 3. Global Search cannot find text within the PDF sections of notes — but if a specific note is selected first, Search within note does work. 4. Returning to "all notes" after completing a search takes ~15 seconds Is it just me? intel mac's: OS: 10.13.6; 10.15.7; 11.1 EN: 10.5.7 iPad Air (3rd generation) 30K+ notes, 16+ GB database (NB not really a "Level 5"!)
  8. Screen cap is working fine for me in EN 10.5.7 ctrl-cmd-del (or the funky elephant, if that's your style) What exactly are you seeing? (Please share details of the OS, EN version, and any other things that might be relevant.)
  9. I'm curious why one would want to store emails as PDF files. (Not a criticism, just curious). In my own case, my email client offers plenty of options for saving, filing and searching emails. It has never occurred to me to send email to EN. EN is very versatile, so we all use it to address different needs, and I think Premium subscribers get tremendous value for money (especially once the performance and stability kinks are ironed out from V 10+)
  10. Have you tried forwarding emails (using mac mail) to your unique EN address, automatically creating a new note? The note takes on the title of your email message.
  11. Screen Capture is working with a keyboard shortcut in version 10.5.6 : ctrl-cmd-del
  12. I have a Premium subscription, but I had a white screen on three different mac's after installing V 10.4.4. After trying a wide range of different things I was eventually able to get all three installations working reasonably well, but unfortunately I wasn't able to identify a consistent fix. The white screen problem returned after quitting and re-starting the app on 2 out of three installations, so I'm leaving the app open full-time. A white screen appears to be a symptom of more than one problem. mac OS 10.13.6; 10.15.7; 11.0.1 EN Legacy (7.14.1) and 10.4.4 (Not really a Level 5 commenter—minor bug)
  13. Glad to hear this is working for you, but I have tried this for two installations and both times the app's appear to conflict: switching from Legacy to 10.4.4 results in the dreaded white screen, 10+ minute load, 2 minutes to view a single note contents, and 200% cpu usage.
  14. My experience is that the EN 10.4.4 update did not address the "white window" problem that many of us have confronted. Shane has stated that the white window issue is under investigation. My suggestion: install the Legacy Version, which works well, and wait for news.
  15. Depending on your previous installations, and on whether you have used App Store or evernote.com for downloads, your offline, synced database can exist in three different locations (not sure why). Updates may therefore require the creation of a whole new offline database. This can take a substantial amount of time (even a week). For me EN appears to download a few notes at a time, but then seems to go to sleep. I suggest two approaches to speed this up: 1. Keep the app open at all times 2. Occasionally do searches or click on a notebook -- just do stuff -- and EN will wake up. You can check on the progress of this download in a couple of ways 1. Look at the number of "All Notes" when connected to the internet versus when offline: you'll find that the latter gradually approaches the former. 2. If you have App Cleaner you can monitor the size of the database and the number of files. I was amazed to learn that this can contain several hundred thousand files
  16. I would hate to lose the "Recent Notes" list. Even better: just show "Recent Notes" as a tab, with a triangle button drop-down to open up the list when required—just as is already found with Shortcuts, Notebooks, Tags Reducing clutter is good.
  17. Have you tried: cmd-A cmd-C cmd-P -- save as pdf (e.g. to desktop)
  18. I use the mac built-in screen capture function: cmd-shift-3 for all the screen cmd-shift-5 for more customizable options The capture is sent to your favorite destination (e.g. Desktop) and can then be dragged into the EN app icon, creating a new note which pops up on the screen.
  19. Click on the Search box and enter your tag name. The results will include a tag result at the bottom of the list. Click on this.
  20. For me EN 10.4.4 runs just as fast on a 9 year old mac with 10.13.6, versus a 3 year old mac with OS 11.0.1 (Big Sur). Santa hasn't visited yet, so I can't comment on Silicon macs.
  21. True. Unfortunately, I don't know of way to do this systematically: each PDF needs to be changed one-by-one—which is hard work for a database of 10,000 PDFs.
  22. IIRC I saw somewhere that the size limit on attachments on V 10+ (20MB?) will be lifted in the future.
  23. Fascinating! It's exciting to learn that V10 can work i.e. that glacial performance is a user-specific bug rather than an inherent consequence of the new design. (I distinguish the dramatic change in performance from the numerous features that are currently unavailable—as has been reported by many users). I'd love to know how many others have had your experience.
