I'm trying to export them to Onenote as a backup. It has worked every month since I started doing it, and now it doesn't! All other notebooks export fine onto Onenote too. It did seem as if they would go back into Evernote though. Interestingly, I tried again this morning and when it finished compiling the job, instead of just a single backup file it offered to divide the inbox into several smaller files it called My Notes.0.enex, My Notes.1.enex etc to 4. So I have 5 files (of about 2,077,523KB each, the last being smaller) that do seem to be exported correctly from Evernote, and now they are installing into Onenote absolutely fine too! Hope this helps someone else, it's been driving me spare for too long now. Thanks Martin

Thanks Well, I did try something and it worked... I made a notebook called Temp and moved 100 notes to it. Then exported it, and the inbox as separate files and both worked. The only issue I now have is that the inbox file says I don't have permission to use it!

Hi Guess how I found this thread?! I'm on WIn 11, using EN 10.73.4 I backup my inbox every month to an enex file containing about 7300 notes. For the last 8 months I have had no problem. Last month and this, I get an endless spooling from the export option. It will let me start an export but after 3 ish hours I get a failure message. And the file is not quite as big as it should be (about 9,982,018KB - The last one that worked). Nothing has resolved this and I'm getting pretty fed up! Any assistance appreciated. Thanks Martin

Clearly - that is why I posted it in requested features! Maybe I am wrong, but I'm sure it was there when I first started using EN. I am neither a professional or teams user. I have no use for either, and I do not want or need the complexity or expense. Neither does your remark address my request, or support it. I would like the app to make a note or reminder live at a given location. The mobile app should allow location based identification for notes if enabled, that is very basic - but locations should be able to be added remotely, ie when not at that location. As a very basic example, to buy an item when next near a given shop. I am a very basic user with basic computer skills. I do not want to have to go into the "advanced search syntax". to find what I am looking for. I'm sure your post was intended to be helpful, not patronising and condescending, and that I just read it that way. But when I use Windows, I do not need to understand the code it was written in, I just need it to do what I bought it for. And if I find something doesn't work for me, or the product would be better for mortals like me, I make a suggestion. Just because something is obvious to me, doesn't mean it is to the smart folk who write this stuff, hence my suggestion/request. And if they want more users, perhaps they should consider that ordinary non-professional or team users find important. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I hope EN themselves read these pages too.

It would be really useful for me to have reminders that pop up at specified location, as I have certain things to remember or task to do at that location. To be able to schedule a task and for it not to "come live" before a certain date, then to remind me at a specified location would be even better. Also, if I make a note or take a picture at a location, it would then be great to be able to search on that location to find relevent notes and pictures, particularly if I am recording progress of something. I'm not the first to ask this... I'm sure it would be popular.

Thanks, but I won't trouble you further. I'll raise a ticket. I was doing as PinkElephant suggested and it was working well until the app crashed and then decided, on it's own, to import ALL the files in the watched folder, despite that nearly 600 had already been added to EN, and had been checked. I've created a notebook with all these recently uploaded notes in it and at least it will be searchable. And start a fresh as of tomorrow with all my new files only and forget my archive. Cheers Martin

Thanks... Do EN monitor or look at the forums they provide? Looking for help/support was what brought me here, I did not see a way to raise a support ticket... if you know how to do that, would you please point me in the right direction or provide a link so that I can contact them. I now have 1220 notes in my new notebook, of which half are now duplicates and many of them will be empty - I do not want to weed that again at 50 notes at a time if they can help me avoid it. Thanks again.

This is so bloody annoying.... A red banner appears at the top of the screen for about 4 seconds, then goes... "Something went wrong when adding your attachment. Please try again". What went wrong? Which attachment? Where is the list of failed uploads? Why is the appropriate note not marked in some way? Will it automatically retry? If not, why not? So I painstakingly visit each note in the Windows app, to see if it's populated. I delete the empty note and in a separate window locate the file, edit the name to add a space, and EN re-imports it without an issue... THEN EN CRASHES... And on restarting it, it starts to import all the files in the watched folder again... ALL 550, that I had painstakingly added in small batches to avoid issues. FFS... More duplicates, more "something went wrong" messages. For mature software, this is pretty *****... BTW, I'm not asking for help here just venting and if there is an more appropriate forum, or some way to flag it for the attention of staff, I would appreciate it.

Then the King had the chess champion killed, and lived happily ever after playing draughts! 😁 If I find a number, I'll post it here. Thanks

Thanks lol. I'm still deleting - 1,400 and counting, 50 at a time!! I found some earlier uploads that were just one line and no content, from an earlier attempt to correct this EN error. I can't start with one file, not with 900+ to import! Or is there a better way? These are just my scanned files...

OK thanks, my tiny brain is already at it's limit, so I'll soldier on with the version I am running I think... All I am doing is deleting 50 notes at a time and it's taking 1.3gb of memory and 30% of my processing power! I've never heard the system fan work so hard!! Thank you for your suggestion though. But back to my original issue... Do you know why is it only importing the title and not the whole file, when it is clearly there and available in the watched folder. A long time has passed so it's not a case of it catching up or processing, it's just done a hopeless job of importing my pdf files! How many files would I put into the watch folder to have them imported correctly, 50? 100? It might take a while before I can tell if it has done it properly.

That was actually the page I used, although I did not see the bit at the top... I am rather red/green colour blind and it did not stand out to me, though I can see it now I look carefully. I don't think Manager offers me any extra value, as I do not use any of the other features it supports, as I said I am a basic user so Home will be fine. I've opened ABBYY and set my defaults so I will see what happens. Nothing looks any different and no new options are available, but I'll give it a run later. I am deleting hundreds of notes, 50 at a time, and EN is soooooo slow at deleting - it's taken all afternoon, but I'm nearly done. A few more empty notes and I am back to proper ones. How many can I put into the import folder at a time, so as not to create problems for myself? I would not have expected a problem, but clearly you think there might be an issue if I do 900 in one go lol! I did try it off line for a while, but I didn't notice any real speed improvement, and I couldn't do other things in the background while off line, so I gave it up. Once I finish, that will be it until tomorrow, so that should allow the servers to update. My computer will get a reboot again too, it had one earlier and that helped, but it feels clogged up again with 50% memory (over a GB) being used by EN, and 25=60% processor on an i7... The fan noise is driving me crazy!! Thanks again for your support.

Again my thanks. I have read the manual (some time ago) and I regularly play with functions as I know they can change too with updates, but there still seems to be a difference with mac and windows. Plus, having been away, you don't know what you don't know... I am using Home, but it was my understanding that Manager was part of home, and as I cannot get it to load independently, I'm downloading it again in full. SShome refuses to upgrade as I am already using the latest version according to the popup. SS Manager is not listed as an option in Windows. ABBYY fine reader will not install either from the download as it says it is already installed. I am going to assume it is corrupt and uninstall the whole lot and re install from the new downloads. For EN, I should not have to check on a forum to see if I am up to date, that is what the "check for updates" button should do! Again, I did not know that was an optioin, and for my very basic level of use, I do not think the latest update would make much of a difference to my functionality... not enough to cause me a problem anyway... there is only me using it, with a small number of notes. I'm sure it's safe but I haven't played with a config file since DR_DOS. Thanks again, I'll see how the re install goes. Cheers Martin

Thank you ... maybe the Mac works differently.. "You’re up to date! Evernote 10.29.7 is currently the newest version available". I cannot seem to find a way of increasing the number of files I can delete on the app or the web version, could you point the way please, that would save hours! I seem to remember Scansnap came with Abbey or something for OCR, but it does not seem to have that option now... do I need to add something do you think? I will follow your advice on the watched folder and re import, thanks. NB: I have now found a setting for ABBYY for Word, ABBYY for Excel and ABBYY for Powerpoint... I presume this is the OCR, but there is no PDF option, and that would be my preference. Thanks again

Thank you, we seem to have a very similar setup. I seem to be doing it right with the import folder. When I scan a file I give it a meaningful name and that is reflected in the note heading. Individual notes are created in my inbox which is were I want them. The folder contains 935 files which total just over 1gb. My upload limit is 10gb so it's not that. So... now I have hundreds of empty notes, many appear to be duplicates. I can only delete 50 at at time! and I am still stuck with a folder full of scanned pdf files, that I want to import, to be able to search within them and no clear way to do it. Could the OCR be an issue, if so, how do I import and OCR these documents? Is there a way to search for and remove duplicate notes? I'm a pretty low lever user, so I know I have a lot to learn, but is there a way to use Scansnap manager to re-scan all the PDF, and OCR them again, and send them to a new folder, which I can then make my watched folder? New scans seem to be fine, it's just the existing ones that are blank! Thanks for taking the time to help me out. Cheers Martin PS, just as a quick test, I tried a fresh scan, and EN imported it immediately and correctly... twice! once with the default scan name, and a few seconds later again when I made the name meaningful!! Am I going to have to create a temp folder to then move what I want to import into a watched folder? Not exactly office automation as I want it...

I've searched the forums, but cannot seem to find an answer to this problem. I came back to EN recently, after a period of not using it. I have tried to return to being paperless and I use a Scansnap 500 to send PDFs to a folder on my Windows 10 PC (fully up to date March 2022). I am using 10.29.7-win-ddl-public (3186) Editor: v140.0.17554 Service: v1.46.2 © 2019 - 2022 Evernote Corporation. All rights reserved I have a folder containing 800+ PDF files of various sizes, and where I used to use an IFTTT recipe to sent them to individual notes in EN, I now find I cannot do it for some reason. Instead I have designated my "watched folder" as the output folder of my Scansnap, names.... ScanSnap. And EN sees them immediately a new note is created, ... BUT it only imports the title of the file and not the actual PDF. Please point me in the right direction, I've retried 3 times now and I am just getting duplicate notes, without any file to view and it is so frustrating to know that I have certain information, but cannot search for it, because the source file is not in EN, just the title. Thanks in advance Martin Admins, Apologies if this is in the wrong place, please relocate as necessary.

***PERMANENT FIX *** 1) Export all notes to file on your hard drive. 2) Import that archive into Onenote, which is free with Microsoft 10 (this version works really well. pretty intuitive, searching is easy and works, and CPU usage does not move). 3) Uninstall evernote. I have used this method and can confirm that although bit scary after 5 years of EN, it works great and my fan does not come on at all. Goodbye Evernote, I will not miss all the ***** I have put up with over the last few years. The way you totally ignore users and particularly Windows users, and charge good money for the privilege. At least any ***** I come across, I will not be paying for. Bye. x

6.15.4.7934 (307934) Public (CE Build ce-53.4.6770) is what I am running too, and it has not had this noticeable effect on the CPU before. Something has changed.

Yep just checked, 10 services running, taking 19%of my CPU and running my fans continually. That is with EN closed!!! FFS, why is this the only application I have that behaves like this, this is not acceptable to me. For the amount I use EN, I'm going to look for a quiet alternative.

I'm here for the same reason. VERY noisy fan for the last few days on my laptop (pretty high spec) Task manager shows EN running at 19% when closed. I would like to know why it is doing this and how can I stop it please?

After days of thinking it was me and playing with config settings, I did a google search and found this thread. On the same day EN takes my subscription no less! F'ing unbelievable, on top of other issues I have had, I honestly have to ask if this platform is worth the effort anymore. And I really don't think it is. There are arrogant developers and some guru's on this forum, that really should listen to what the customers are saying.
