Note Links
ej8899 replied to markdolph's question in Evernote for Mac Requests (Versions 10.0 and above)
Does the section I've bolded also mean that Evernote "note links" in v10 will stay within v10 instead of opening web browsers? I have numerous IFTTT applets generating notes during the day, and they have links to notes - Legacy opens them within Legacy app... where-as v10 forces a browser to open to Evernote Web. Any timeline on this particular fix? -
I maybe forgot to post a video update I did recently - but I found it working just fine with Apple Scribble mode on or off. However, the main bug I found was it taking too long to save files - it seems like we have infinite 'paper' and although that idea is nice, I'm guessing it is generating far too large of file sizes - I waited SEVEN minutes for a simple sketch note to save and then gave up and aborted it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iwwm8LVXLwE

For files inside the new Evernote structure, here's what I've found: But first, here is an example note link: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s144/nl/27217275/a504b0b6-5aa9-42f9-aa12-505ef1f8737a?title=Server Rebuild / Computer System Plan Out See that a504b0b6-xxxxx number? That's your note ID - at least what I'd assume is the note ID. The 27217275 number is your user ID number/account number. FYI, the link has been altered, so it won't likely do anything for you if you do click on it. So... On Windows anyway, your data at: C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Evernote\resource-cache\UserXXXXXX you'll find hundreds or thousands of folders depending on your database - I have 37,868 folders myself. They are numbered the same as that note ID as shown above. These folders contain our attachments ONLY and an identifier. A file with no extension (that is the attachment file) and a file with a .mime extension - the mime file is telling evernote what the file is - so if you open the MIME file with a basic text editor (notepad for example) you might see application/pdf or image/jpeg for example. Thusly, if you rename the file without the extension to .PDF or .JPG you can open the file on your computer as you'd normally open a PDF or JPG file. ** Do not rename the file in this database - COPY it elsewhere if you're going to test for yourself. ALSO in this same folder is the thumbnail for your snippet note views. C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Evernote\Cache is dated yesterday and today - making me think it's a temporary cache - different files of different types in here - but all stripped of an extension so you don't know what is what. A quick look though and it appears that despite it saying "Cache", there is note info here that I haven't opened recently - so again, not sure what's up. C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Evernote\conduit-storage\https%3A%2F%2Fwww.evernote.com this appears to be our note database as an SQL file. There is a "localstorage.sql" version and a "remoteGraph.sql" (the most data) I opened up the SQL files and the remotegraph.sql file definitely has the bulk of our note text data in it. the TL;DR version - not sure if any of this is 'recoverable' if we simply backup the SQL and resource cache folders. I'd keep using the Legacy version and backup the database folder EXB file(s) until we get a proper backup and restore feature with v10 - or some better explanations as to what's going on 'behind the scenes'.

I'm going to have to do a new video to update from my last one about 'offline mode' ... I just tried this again - confirmed my v10 Evernote folder is rolling in at 36GB and that is pretty much the same as the Legacy edition. I pulled the plug on my hardwire connection and can confirm throughout a random selection of notes from recent through to a couple of years old all loaded up just fine. I was still getting broken thumbnails in my snippet view, but that's minor - the note contents (including attachments) appeared to be working. Maybe 2 days wasn't enough for Evernote to download everything in my 36gb database.

I really question any usable functionality of Evernote while offline at present. Maybe if you're creating a note, but searching and using tags and saved searches was useless for me. evernote had 2 days to build it's cache. Definitely if we could specify notebooks to be available offline like on mobile, or even if we new a notebook would cache the latest 100 notes (as example number) we would be in a much better position than currently where we know nothing specific and offline is totally hit or miss.

Evernote for iOS version 10.0.4 Release notes
ej8899 replied to AgnesP's topic in Release Notes (iOS)
10.0.4 sketch notes have drastically improved... I even had Apple Scribble mode turned on and experience no missing input! HOWEVER.... due to what appears to be "infinite paper size" - I'm seeing problems saving sketch notes. I waited on one for SEVEN MINUTES before forcing Evernote closed and just starting over. The next one I tried was much smaller, but I got tired of waiting after TWO MINUTES. Might need to reconsider infinite paper size or figure out some other way of dealing with this. Seven minutes or more to save a relatively simple sketch is completely unacceptable! -
Where are files stored now
ej8899 replied to joness's topic in Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 10.0 and above)
I've got a video up that shows how Evernote 10 handles being offline (spoiler - it doesn't). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3r1ryU5Ffo -
note is missing - but yet it isn't
ej8899 replied to ej8899's topic in Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 10.0 and above)
FYI - I saw this same behavior again this morning this time when notes were generated from iOS. I entered several notes into Evernote for iOS last night while brainstorming in bed... this morning, the notes do not exist in the Windows Evernote v10. I can see them in my 'created today and created yesterday searches' as being in my inbox - BUT they aren't in my inbox. I fully exited out of Evernote v10 and restarted it - the notes magically appeared in the inbox. Please fix - ASAP! -
Evernote for iOS version 10.0.4 Release notes
ej8899 replied to AgnesP's topic in Release Notes (iOS)
I see syncing 'freeze ups' still exist. I opened Evernote 10.04 on iPhone 11 Pro this morning and didn't pay attention to if it last synced up or not. proceeded to type up 2 separate notes into my inbox. jump back to inbox. not there! realize the sync freeze up occurred, force closed Evernote and restarted. of course, notes not there. THIS IS DATA LOSS! Please fix - you've left a good many users with Evernote in an unusable state at this point in time! -
Here's a strange one... Note created on computer A in my inbox notebook - I have in my video example an image sketch, but have also tested it with basic text notes. Jump to computer B - the note(s) DO NOT show in my inbox - BUT they do show in my 'created today' search - AND they show as being in my inbox. BUT they aren't in my inbox with a regular scroll through the notes of that notebook. Using my created today search, if I then give those notes a title, they now show up in my computer B inbox notebook. Please fix ASAP - to me this is a missing data problem... someone could create notes on one system and not have them show on another system unless you're diligent about finding those notes and updating them so they show on the second system. FWIW, after the notes were created on computer A, I loaded Evernote iOS (v10) and the notes showed in the inbox there. I did NOT access the notes on iOS in case it messed up trying to replicate the issue above. Excuse my lack of artistic talent with my sketch example.

Created a note on device 2 - using Evernote 10 for Windows. It saved from what I could tell. A couple hours later on device 1, I didn't see the note. Ran a search for notes created today and it shows up - and shows up as being in my inbox. Click on my inbox. Note isn't anywhere to be seen. Re-run my search - verify that yes, the note says it is in my inbox. Double check the inbox notebook directly. No, it's not there! Re-run the search - change the note title (it was untitled previously). Check the inbox (my default notebook). Finally, the note is now there (listed). I'll try to post a video on this behavior a bit later and will see if I can duplicate the problem.

Colored/Styled Tags & Notebooks
ej8899 replied to ej8899's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 10.0 and above)
Also keep in mind color coding tags doesn't change a search or the requirements of a search. I can have a tag "importantstuff" that is red in color - and then search for the tag "importantstuff" instead of dealing with emoji coded tags for "importantstuff" instead - and then dealing with search complexities. That all being said - I do have a few tags with emoji's -- but again, simple tags that can be coded independently (with the colors) was very nice to have. -
Another missing feature -- I have notes shared to me, but I can't duplicate or copy those notes into my own notebook(s). The menu option is there, but greyed out. Work around: - export the note as an ENEX. - import the ENEX (BUT evernote creates a new notebook in the process). - move the note where you want/need it - delete the now empty notebook.

Dear Evernote.... this is what your average CUSTOMERS are seeing with version 10.0. We have performance problems, sluggishness and otherwise have questions to the status of our notes. Things are missing, things are downgraded. What is going on behind the scenes? How many times have you watched an Apple announcement saying "Here is the Shiny New Macbook... BUT... we downgraded the diplay to 1024x768... AND installed a traditional spinning hard disk instead of a superfast SSD?" "It's worse than last years model, BUT hey it is shiny and new so enjoy!" Anyway... Maybe I'm just old and not understanding how things work now-a-days. Regardless... some thoughts based on my video which I've linked below. 04:30 - no idea if I'm running Evernote "offline" or not. Can't click in the note. Is that supposed to be my indication Evernote is offline? Or should I wait in case it's just a pause in the program running? Is the note fully sync'd? 05:30 - why so sluggish merely typing text. This is on an IBM Thinkpad laptop. Core i7 8th gen processor. 16gb RAM. 11:56 - is this note now synced to the server? no idea again. 12:03 - note history is broken? I didn't see that in the 'new features' of evernote. 13:30 - evernote screen shots are gone - maybe they'll make a return? Hopefully anyway - I use those daily. Here's what I'll do in the meantime. 14:38 - paste an image into Evernote is slow - this is a simple screen shot - why so slow to paste? 14:56 - why do I have to wait for the menu to turn active? 16:33 - haven't seen this bug in a while - vibrating images are back! 19:09 - "no notes found" - when offline - really bad wording - Evernote should know it is offline and tell us that - not "No notes" when it really doesn't know! Anyway.. this is just what your average CUSTOMER - yes CUSTOMER sees. BUT your average customer is not making a video to tell you these concerns. They're throwing in the towel and moving to a different application. They are not renewing after their current period is up. I'm utterly confused by what seems to be going at Evernote, but hey it's your business model. Fingers crossed we see some rapid updates and return of missing features very very soon.

features removed & initial thoughts
ej8899 replied to ej8899's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 10.0 and above)
It's horrible for me... improved after the first install, but "day 2" - despite being improved - is still sluggish. I've done a 'day 2' video here showing casing a few bugs and problems. https://youtu.be/A3r1ryU5Ffo -
Noticed this on the beta and submitted feedback on it - but for some reason it is still a problem in the public release. It is 8:15pm where I am currently. My "activity today" shows one note that actually says it was created at 8:08pm. My search is: created:day -tag:library-pocket and that normally shows me all my notes from today. Where is "created:day" getting its date and time information from? Certainly note the note information. Please fix.

It’s gone. For now anyway. I certainly hope it returns very very soon! -
I can't seem to scroll wide content. -tables anyway - horizontally on my touch screen device. I've tried finger swipe and precision input with a pen. No go either way. Disregard ... I guess instead of sliding the horizontal scroll bar, you have to tap it now. A bit odd I suppose , but I'll eventually get used to it.

Printing bug/quirk: print output is different if you're in dark mode or in light mode. Black text on white paper if you're in light mode, but grey text on white paper if you're in dark mode. Colors (text links anyway) change from blue to green as well and highlighters result in different outputs (ie black text highlighted vs white text highlighted). This might be a design feature I suppose - but I'd rather not switch from dark mode to light mode, just to print something "properly" (or at least what I'd call properly).

It was a pretty fancy video they made for the “new“ Evernote though... It's unfortunate that they didn't create a "real life" video on the release instead.
