Hi, and welcome to the forums. I've seen this a number of times. For me, clearing the browser's cookies (maybe for the last day, maybe even just for the last hour) almost always cures it. Evernote Web seems to do something that makes it unable to understand its own cookies.

I suspect that Evernote's search of PDFs may not have been designed with a view to searching multiple PDFs each of which contained entire an book. Perhaps, as I believe @Atul Mishra said, splitting the books and putting each chapter in a separate note might be more useful, and either carefully tagging each note, or including specific keywords in the body of each note might also help. If I may suggest an alternative, unless you need to do this on a mobile phone, there is a research suite called Nota Bene which includes a multilingual word processor designed with scholars in mind, and has a module that does perform very exact searches on PDFs and other documents, and display the context of each found result so you can get to what you're really looking for. It is available for both Windows and Mac.

In v 10, it is the message at bottom right in a note being edited that indicates when it has been synced. Since syncing is constant and automatic, no indicator on other notes would be needed. But, if I'm understanding you right, you're saying that this indicator says "All changes saved," yet there are "Download incomplete" messages when offline? I take this to mean that after notes have apparently synced, if you go offline there are still some listed as not fully downloaded, correct? As you've noted, Ctrl+R can be used to force a sync before going offline--are you still seeing "Download incomplete" if you do that?

See my reply to your other post. And, as was mentioned here before, please, no double posting. It won't get you any different answers.

And so I think, at this point, maybe only temporarily but maybe not, we must regard this not as an annoying bug but as an annoying feature. Suggestions made in this previous post in the thread and in this one pretty much sum up the options: use a blank line between paragraphs (as is common in some other short-form writing software, e.g. emails), or write longer-form material in software designed for that purpose, such as a word processor or Scrivener. Or press the spacebar a few times--3 ought to be enough.

We're mainly other users here, not Evernote support. But since you (and I) are using v. 6.25, we must resign ourselves that this version is not getting any more updates, and what we have is what it will be--unless we update to v. 10, which I did on a different computer. But in either version, I have no trouble hovering the mouse pointer over a table column divider and getting the tool to grab and move the divider. As for setting a particular value ... would that be in centimeters, inches, a percentage, pixels? I'd way rather drag than have to try 10 different values till I got the right one; but that's just my preference.

Hmmm. Now that I look more carefully at the OP, I realize I may have misinterpreted it myself. In v. 10 desktop, it is indeed possible to hover the mouse over a link, which produces a popup with the link, as well as Edit and a 3-dot menu, and then one can click on that link in the popup. That does sound rather like what the OP describes. But, as you and others said, just clicking on the link in the note (even if the popup has already appeared) opens the link for me. Not sure if I've muddied the waters or cleared them up. @Marco Disseldorp, can you clarify?

In Legacy, v. 6, right-clicking on the note in the Note List will pop up a menu with "Remove from Shortcuts" at the bottom.

Thanks for keeping this updated. I haven't checked, frankly, so I don't know if I'm getting this activity on my Evernote 10 installation. But truly out of ignorance, I want to ask what damage this constant "disk" activity might do? With an SSD, as I understand it, there is no disk, so there is no mechanism to be given extra wear and tear, but just a matter of writing and rewriting to flash memory. Still, I can see that it would be a problem if all that writing were slowing down the computer overall. Is that what you're experiencing?

The issue exists in the Evernote Web client, not the current desktop app. It is definitely an annoyance, one that never made the slightest sense to me, and really should have been swept away long before now. But the best way to lodge this complaint is to click on your account name in the upper left, then click Share Feedback. Which I am just off to do.

Thanks for a useful post. You describe quite well the limitations of attached files in Evernote on a browser: there is no local database from which the attachments could be opened, so they must be downloaded and saved. Similarly, from within a browser tab opening a note in a separate window would not be feasible, but a separate browser tab (or browser window) would serve well ... except that I find Edge will not let me do even that; I'd have to duplicate the whole Evernote tab and work in the duplicate. I did exactly that for over a year, and I found it helpful, as you suggest, till it got to the point where EN 10 was functional enough to start using the app itself (once I got a Windows 10 computer).

A charming bit of deflection, offering (inaccurate) accusations against others, and then continuing your off-topic efforts to drift the thread in your direction. On the off chance you'd like to see a real user's progress from considering v. 10 a "disaster" to "quite good", here's a thread I started. Things change, a revision that started off on the wrong foot gradually got a lot better and now works quite well. That's my experience. Evidently it's not yours, but you might find a more sympathetic audience by starting or adding to a relevant thread in a relevant forum.

Hi, and welcome to the forums. We are mainly other users here, so we're limited in what we can do to help in a situation like this. You would do best to open a support ticket and let the Evernote tech support people help get your data back: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/requests/new.

@FrancesPorras, on the off chance that you are not a bot, I've reported your post as spam. If you're a real student, I say on behalf of all of us who actually do the work that the professor who flunks you out will be doing the world a service. I hope you will find honest employment.

From Evernote Help & Learning: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/360050105293, then look for "contains."

"Predictive" text ... sort of like a fortune cookie? "You will mildly embarrass yourself in public in the near future."

Already well known, actually, e.g. these threads, and maybe others: https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/143224-javascript-error-since-last-update/ https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/143243-latest-update-broke-evernote/ https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/143291-is-official-evernote-no-longer-works-under-windows-7/

Drifting a bit, perhaps, but I'm curious whether those who use note titles in this way (e.g. @Jon/t and @DTLow) find that Evernote's new function of automatically creating a title from the first line in the note is a help or a hindrance.

@James000, I've been using Cronofy for a few years also, and it does generally work brilliantly. Once in awhile Cronofy's servers seem to slow down and it can take awhile for Evernote reminders and Google Calendar events to sync (either direction). And recently I've had some older notes in Evernote seemingly become unable to access Cronofy at all. Very strange; I have to copy their content into a new note, set a reminder, and then it's fine. But I emphasize that these are rare events, and on the whole it just works. For the curious, the Google Calendar event that is created will have a comment field containing a link of the form http://in.cronofy.com/Aa0bB2c, which when clicked redirects to your Evernote note. The events will be your default length and color, and there's no way to customize that yet. It's highly functional, but I do hope that eventually Evernote (notes and tasks both) will be able to create Google Calendar events directly.

Hee hee. I think you meant "Support works ...", but yeah.

@jola16, what version of Evernote are the people to whom you shared the notes using? If they're on older Android devices or running Evernote v. 6 Legacy (on Windows 7 computers, for instance), they will not see the proper checklists, as discussed earlier in the thread. But if they're running up-to-date Evernote apps or the Web client, then there's definitely a bug.

For reference, some threads discussing this issue on Win7: https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/143224-javascript-error-since-last-update/ https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/143243-latest-update-broke-evernote/ https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/143291-is-official-evernote-no-longer-works-under-windows-7/

Ah. My bad, actually, for making an assumption. A very similar error is showing up when people try to run the latest v. 10 in Windows 7 (which is not supported anyway), as discussed in those threads I linked to. So perhaps there is a real issue here, maybe something gone wrong in the Electron framework. If you haven't yet, it would be a good idea to report it to Evernote support.

Probably a bot.
