This all makes me queasy. I downloaded the legacy version and it loaded up a super old version of my EN database. I closed it and deleted it immediately as I didn't know if this old database would somehow try to overwrite my newer database. I am surprised that it would "remember" such an old database. If I downloaded it fresh, why would it pick up the old stuff. It must be an old file hidden away on my laptop somewhere. Then I tried another tactic. I was able to export the notebook with 8,700 notes to .enex files into 5 separate files. See attached. I was able to successfully import the first file and it created a new notebook "(imported) My Notes 1" that I "think" mirrors the contents of the first file I imported. But after that, I was not able to import the second file. I kept getting an error message. See attached. I tried to chat with support and with all due respect, they were not helpful whatsoever. I tried explain my situation, and the support person tried to convince me that moving them over 50 notes at a time was less tedious than importing five files. I thanked them for their time and ended the chat. So, now I have submitted a ticket, and I wait. I rarely request support, and it honks me off that after being a premium paid subscriber since 2011 that I can't get better support when I need it.

Thank you very much for taking the time to respond. This is helpful!

I would do all the heavy lifting using EN desktop (10.30.5) on a Mac.

I have decided to go all-in on tags and will thus move down from three notebooks to one notebook. My work notebook has around 22,000 notes while my personal notebook has around 8,000 notes. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to merge them into one notebook without copying and pasting 50 notes at a time?

Great explanation. Thank you for sharing.

I was under the impression that the creation of a task without first assigning it to a note would be classified as being a "stand-alone task." I had realized that the task was actually assigned to a note called "things to do." That is curious. If this is the case, then it makes even less sense why you providing the ability to tag a task wouldn't have been an easy option right out the gates on a first release basis. Curious.

Hi. I would like the ability to create a plain old task and apply a tag to it without having to create a note first for it to “live” in. While the ability to flag a task is nice, I do not understand why the ability to tag a task was not part of the initial roll-out. This seems to be such a logical progression as opposed to introducing a brand new bit of functionality in “flags.”

Thank you @DTLow. That did the trick

I am fearful that I already know the answer but am hoping that someone clever has a work around. I am in the process of simplifying my notebook organizational structure and find myself needing to move 9,000+ notes from one notebook to another. With this latest release, it appears that I am relegated to moving 50 notes at a time (WHY?!). I suppose I could downgrade it to legacy version and make the changes....I think. Anyone have any good ideas?

Got it! Thank you!

Hi there – May I please ask who this is? I keep getting these updates sent to my email based on Evernote support activity that I did not initiate. My name is Shawn Miller and my username is “smiller57.” Do we have the same username?

I fear that my account has been hacked or corrupted and am trying to get support's attention. When I go to the Evernote support page as a premium user, it appears that I have two options, email or community. Even though I am a premium user, chat is not available to me. When I click on the email option and log-in, it takes me to my web instance of Evernote. The I click on the "need some help" button at the bottom right of the screen, it takes me to the initial log-in screen. It's a never-ending loop. I even tried twitter to get their attention. No luck. Granted, it's only been 2 or 3 hours, but if a premium user is telling them that they fear their account has been hacked, then I would expect a greater/quicker response. I have been a premium user for a long time and I am really disappointed about my support experience. I feel like Evernote can and should do better. I would also love nothing more than for this to be self inflicted issue, but even if it is, getting support, especially for a premium user, should NOT be this hard. DO BETTER!!!!

Hi there, it has since resolved itself. It’s been so long that I have forgotten the resolution. Thanks for your reply though.

Thanks for this feedback. This is super valuable. I always seem to defer to native applications because I assume they will always lead to a better workflow. I will definitely check out Scanner Pro.

Thank you for your replies pink elephant and gazumped. I have done a fresh reinstall and it does not seem to do the trick, I have also followed your suggestion pink elephant and I am not getting the same results. When I click on save to camera roll or Evernote, I get no response. It’s as if the links are completely broken. Perhaps we have different versions?

I recently updated to iOS 13.1. Since doing so I have been unable to save scannable scans as JPEG’s into my camera roll. I am not sure how to bubble this up to the proper people to ensure that it gets addressed at some point soon. Any thoughts on who to tell or what the procedure is?
