Same for me.

Yes, there's lots that isn't quite there yet, and stuff you need to bring back. But, I can see how the decision to release across all Mac devices was taken. Keep fighting!

Glad to hear you like some of the new features, but have sympathy for the folks with major problems. It has taken me literally days to get even marginal performance on my two EN installations after upgrading. The web browser version routinely stalls and gives me the "whirling green caterpillar of death". (The only "insecticide" is logging out of the website).

So if you need the share function (and others), you can install both the legacy and the v10-client side by side, and have the shares be synced via the legacy client. Both have their own database, so it will sync from legacy to the EN server back to the v10-client.

When the needed functions will have been released for v10, you can simply uninstall legacy and continue with the existing v10-installation.

My only caveat is that creating a local database for a new installation can take a long time. My DB of 30,000 notes occupies 16GB of data and took almost a week to download. Patience is required, and I recommend leaving the app open non-stop. Download can be monitored using Activity Monitor-Downloads, or using App Cleaner to to view the number of evernote files in the /Containers or /Group Containers folders (my preference).

Share was the easiest way to get PDF, photos and other documents into Evernote efficiently.  Particularly since using the clipper to capture PDFs from web pages is still broken in the new version.  

My workflow for capturing information has now become extremely inefficient: Save file, go to EverNote, New Note, click in the note, click Insert and drag to attachment, navigate to file, click Open, back to Finder, locate temp file, delete, back to browser.

Compare to: click share, click Evernote.

Anybody have a better approach? (Other that switching to OneNote, which several of my colleagues have been advocating for a while)

Presumably you are using Safari browser?

The web clipper extension is still working using a Chrome browser extension on a mac (EN V. 10.1.7), or by clicking on the contextual menu (right-click on page).

Let's hope that integration with mac/safari will be fixed at some point.

Evernote for Mac (v. 10.0+)

• Quit the Evernote app.
• Open Finder.
• In the menu bar, select Go > Go to Folder....
• Paste ~/Library/Application Support/ into the text field and click Go.
• Delete the "Evernote" folder.
• Restart your computer.
• Open Evernote and log back in.

@gbarry:

My database is not at this location. (app V 10.1.7 downloaded from App Store)

It is in ~/Library/Containers

IIRC the evernote app version downloaded directly from evernote.com creates a database in

~/Library/Group Containers

(PS I'm sure we all sympathize with how you must be stressed by the current dust-storm at EN. Keeping my fingers crossed that things will be sorted out: my database of 30,000 notes has taken several years to create and I use EN all the time for my work. Deep breaths.)

I have found that downloading (and re-indexing?) a database can take several days, depending on the size. This is not for the faint of heart. I recommend keeping the app continuously logged in.
