I ignore 99.99% of his posts that annoy me. Sometimes I just can't. And I don't agree at all with your opinion in this case. But since it's not on point, that's the end of my input on the matter.

OMG, enough already. We know what you think about this, and your comment adds exactly nothing here, and is also irrelevant, as this is a discussion about how to keep legacy running offline for those who want to do so. Obviously these are people who have made the decision to do so already and taken responsibility for it, and don't need to be lectured about it by you YET AGAIN. I am using v.10. But I keep legacy running on my laptop and desktop for my own reasons and am happy to help others who want to do the same. *That* is the purpose of this thread. You really don't have to comment on every single thread or respond to every post in the entire forum.

Is it really necessary to block Evernote in the firewall? I do it, but I'm not convinced it's necessary. Legacy won't sync with the servers anymore regardless of whether you have it firewalled. But maybe there's some other reason that I'm missing. One other thing - make sure you do not have the same import folder designated in Legacy as in v.10 (this shouldn't be an issue with a new install of Legacy, but it might be if you've maintained an original Legacy installation, as I did). The result will be that some imports will end up in v.10 and some in Legacy, probably depending on some accident of timing. It took me too much time and aggravation to figure this out!!

This is definitely not true. It's saved in the LastLogin registry key as described in the instructions @AlbertR gave. When I was accidentally logged out of legacy on my laptop, setting this key to my Evernote username was all that was required to regain access.

I agree that the AI functionality is all but useless, and I too am experiencing syncing issues, mostly with the mobile apps, especially iPad. I can learn to live with the fact that many basic tasks have become more cumbersome and involve more steps than they used to, but things like not getting accurate search results on iPad, or crashing when following internal links, are on a different level - not just something legacy used to do that v.10 doesn’t, but bugs in core functionality.

I was about to start a post about this but decided to search first and found this thread. I also am a last-minute convert from Legacy, and I use internal links extensively. On Windows, I am finding the same erratic behavior. I click on a link and sometimes it opens, sometimes it opens a random note instead of the linked note, and sometimes - probably more than 50% of the time - my cursor starts flickering, Evernote freezes, and either I have to restart, or after a few seconds it "resets" and I get sent back to Home and have to start over. Ctrl-clicking on links does seem to work more reliably, but usually I don't want a new window - I want the link I click to open in the same window. This seems like a fairly significant bug, as opposed to just an inconvenience or a missing feature. It doesn't seem to happen on Android or iPadOS - but on the other hand, especially on iPad, syncing lags sometimes by days, so my search results are completely unreliable and I can't always work within the same filtered group as I had been on Windows. (I have posted separately about this but with no answers or solutions.) I really do like backlinks, but I'd rather have internal links that actually worked.

What version of ScanSnap manager are you using, do you know? I am fairly sure I never updated mine from the original when I bought my scanner lol - I just never thought about it. I can’t remember if it came on a cd or if I downloaded it. But I don’t think my version has the pause for renaming, though I may just never have discovered it. I just rename the notes after they’re in Evernote. I’ve always been mostly concerned with getting them in Evernote as expeditiously as possible, since one of my primary uses of Evernote is for paperless recordkeeping - which requires much less scanning these days than it used to!

Yes “we” are splitting hairs. By ”direct” I mean the workflow I’ve used in Legacy for a decade or more. I set the profile in ScanSnap manager for the scans to go to Evernote. I put the paper in the scanner, press the scan button, and the pdf appears as a note in Evernote. That’s what I mean. Whatever the ScanSnap manager is doing, *I* don’t have to move any files from folder to folder, and I don’t have a useless file in a folder on my desktop that I then have to delete. I do have to rename the file in Evernote (unless there’s some way with Manager that I never discovered to name it before it’s saved), but that’s it. That is what I mean by direct. And it sounds like it *is* still possible with older versions of ScanSnap manager.

Yes, I understand this. You have explained multiple times now the way you do it and that you think it’s the best way. I understand. But I am trying to hear from other users, as there are clearly those who do it successfully in other ways that I, personally, may prefer, for *my* use of Evernote, folders, note titles, etc. You can keep doing it the way you like best, but it might not be the way that makes most sense for me.

So what does this do? It sounds like it processes the scan before saving, though I admit I just skimmed the site quickly - so does it permit you to scan directly to an import folder? Or is there a way to use it to scan directly to Evernote?

Thanks! I will definitely look into this.

My s1300i has been faithful too, for more than a decade. Now after research since last night I'm trying to decide whether to buy a used one or move to the ix1300. The ix1600 seems like overkill for my use. But I haven't seen much mention of the ix1300. I'd like to continue to use ScanSnap manager, supported or not, with a new ScanSnap to keep scanning directly to Evernote. But it sounds like the consensus is that using import folders is now preferable. And in that case, @bmcl26 says his HP Envy permits scanning directly to an import folder, which is very appealing as it removes one step from the process.

So what is it that’s different about v.10 that doesn’t permit directly scanning into Evernote? This is what I don’t get. Is it just that there was a decision made not to allow it? Or something different about the way it works? It’s so inconvenient. I do understand your explanation of why scanning into import folders directly doesn’t work. I’m assuming this was the same with legacy? I never scanned into an import folder with legacy, but I can’t see why it would have been any different, since scanners presumably built files in the days of legacy too. My dead scanner was an s1300i. It served me well for so long - then suddenly, today, it just won’t turn on. I’ve tried everything i can think of.. I’ve had good luck with it so I think I’ll stick with Fujitsu. Out of curiosity, what would happen if I got a new EN Scansnap scanner but used my current installed ScanSnap manager, which is set up to scan to Evernote, instead of Scansnap home?

First, does this mean that it is not possible to scan directly to Evernote? That was my first question. Is there any way at all to do this? I saw one or two references to Scansnap Cloud for example, but since I don’t know what this is, I couldn’t tell if it offered a means of scanning directly into Evernote. Also, what you describe sounds like a somewhat cumbersome workflow. I’d have to scan into ScanSnap, then save the file to a folder. Why not scan directly to an import folder and skip the intermediate step?

I have read a bunch of posts on this topic but still don't feel that I've found an actual answer to this question. I am one of the last-minute converts to v.10 on Windows, so this is a new problem for me. Is it still possible in v.10, with any scanner, to scan directly to Evernote ? I have an old ScanSnap that has just died, which I had used for a decade or more with ScanSnap Manager (never updated). Now I have to replace it. Scanning directly to Evernote has been a somewhat significant part of my use of Evernote over the years. Is there any way in which this can still be done? I really would prefer if possible not to have to deal with import folders. I have read a number of posts, and some seem to suggest that it might still be possible to do this, but I can't seem to find a definitive answer - and I can't test it since my scanner is inconveniently dead lol! If it's not possible, what is the most efficient (quickest with least steps) procedure to get scans into Evernote, and what is the best scanner, if there is one, to use to do this? Thanks!
