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

Keep It has internal links to other apps, an amazing web clipper that can save in PDF format, and an AppleScript option that saves email with an embedded links that open the original emails.

While Keep It has some attractive features, in my trial, only about 60% of notes imported correctly.

Sharing directly to Evernote is HUGE.

Exactly what are you trying to do that doesn't work in EN 10?

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!)

It's nice Evernote checks for updates every day now it seems, but why do they have to pop up this dialog box requiring a click every day?

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.

This morning is particularly slow and brutal for app performance on my MBA.

I had glacial performance around the same time—could this be a variable server problem, rather than an issue with the app itself?

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

Evernote exclusively for screen capture and UX researching. 

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.)

In the Notebook column in Mac version 10.4.4, using Up/Down keys will move the selection up/down as expected, but does NOT refresh the visible note in the pane to the right.

Just have, but what a clumsy solution, endless extra outgoing emails generated and I end up with HTML content and not a PDF.

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+)

Sadly no use for filing emails direct to Evernote as I have been doing for years!

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.

Screen Capture is working with a keyboard shortcut in version 10.5.6 :

ctrl-cmd-del

The white window that appears is related the your account reaching/exceeding the 2-device limit.

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

Hi.  You know it's still possible to run the two versions side by side?

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.

Is the white window problem still there?

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.

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

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.

I'd like to see the right click 'convert to pdf' option returned

Have you tried:

cmd-A

cmd-C

cmd-P -- save as pdf (e.g. to desktop)

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.

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.

Is Evernote able to run natively on Apple Silicon Macs and Big Sur?

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.

you can change the way how PDFs are shown inline (single page vs all pages).

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.

Version 10 and it appears to be truncating very large PDFs

IIRC I saw somewhere that the size limit on attachments on V 10+ (20MB?) will be lifted in the future.

hm, I don‘t see (or feel) any speed differences between Legacy and V10, both run speedy.

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.
