Hi,
Sorry, this is really two issues that might be getting confused. First, I had some notes that had stopped syncing because they were too large. This large un-synced note issue is one I have to address when I have the time but essentially I was worried that by upgrading, I'd lost the additional changes to these notes that had not synced. I hadn't and I can still see the full notes on the legacy version. So everything is fine here.
As a second issue, partly redundant now that I use the legacy version, is that I link files that are local to my mac like symbolic links in the text (file:///my/file/is/here.txt). I guess this is a yes, I mean the "ability to open other types of file". It allows me to keep track of data that might be analysed in R and then also appear in a presentation. So I'll link both files in the text to allow me to trace them. In the new version these links were all broken, or not clickable at least.
Honestly it's ok if Evernote choose to go in that direction but I was mostly using it to keep track of files and analyses in the way I've outlined above. It just isn't the case that I can copy these files into Evernote because they are live documents that might change. For me the whole point of Evernote was to link up notes on a device. If the legacy version stops being supported that's also fine but I'll have to find something else to track results and analyses. Unless there is a workaround in the new version that I'm not aware of?
Thanks for getting back
