  1. It takes 10s of seconds to see the content in every note. The web app is doing the same thing but restores content much faster. I cannot use the Desktop app as is right now. Last thing I did was empty trash.
  2. That worked, to confirm everything was there (figured out it wasn't syncing either). I tried the easy route first, uninstall, download & install from Windows store, and that has fixed it. Thanks for the tip on the uninstaller; might be handy for future.
  3. This morning Evernote informed me of an update when I started it. I run in Windows 11 and have a paid account. After the update, two bad behaviors I've noted: 1) Cannot create a new note. Clicking new-->Note gives a spinner which eventually goes away and nothing happens 2) Cannot sign out. It says I have unsynced changes. I cannot tell what it is doing.
  4. That's interesting; how did you verify it's not Evernote? FYI, as a workaround, I changed my IFTTT applet to use the same trigger, but send an email with the content via my gmail. The downside there is I get all those "sent" emails in gmail which I will add a rule to delete. You can send an email to any notebook so I can still route things where I want them to go.
  5. I agree this is my number one concern right now. My use model directs nearly all my newsletters, feeds etc. into a few notebooks on Evernote. I then process these as time permits. The net is that I delete a lot of these. Deleting is very slow, and hugely slow as you select more notes. Moving is equally slow, which another common use model for me. Regarding the cloud activity--I tested with completely offline an it is still slow, so I'm unsure if that is actually a contributor.
  6. Definitely getting rid of the sqlite dB is important to Windows; it was a major performance problem with larger dBs. The folder per note should not be a big deal on most Windows systems. I think the slow ness is they aren't cacheing, and it's talking to the cloud all the time, but that's just a theory. It has already improved as far as I can tell, so I feel things are heading in a good direction, and they are removing some structural barriers to making the Windows experience better.
  7. @Jeff510 When you install, there is a question to install just for you or for all users. If you happened to install for all users, it might be in a different path instead of under your particular user.
  8. I think one of the long-standing issues on Windows is the use of a MySQL database which was not only underperforming but inefficient. When I calculate the avg. PDF size for the number of PDFs I have, which are the main attachments I tend to have, it is more consistent with the new storage than the old value. I did confirm Mike P's update that the MIME contains the file type and the file is of that type, so I do indeed have all my PDFs in a relatively accessible form, as well as all other attachments. I agree w/s2sailor that I'll not throw away all copies of that old db just yet... Thanks for all the help here, folks.
  9. Something of note. In September when I began to use the new version, my EN storage (c:\users\<user>\evernote occupied (still does, it's just lurking there...) 52.8 GB and comprised 750 files in 12 folders. On the other hand, the new storage (c:\users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Evernote) now occupies only 3.08 GB but has 49,234 files in 2,874 folders.
  10. Correction--this was an even older version, I was looking at old backups. More recently, it would seem even the attachments are inside the exb
  11. Yes, it's a huge change, and I get what they are doing, but I think this was awfully early to release it. Watched a very recent interview w/the CEO and he's pretty in-tune with the issues but doesn't see any other way.
  12. That does seem to be where the new app is using storage. An issue is back in the old app, which definitely had file access performance issues in Windows, the actual attachments were stored. That mean, theoretically, I could get to PDFs, of which I have a lot in EN. Now, I don't see anything identifiable as such.
  13. I have asked support but no answer so far. I can see that the prior files from older EN Windows client are not being used, and would like to get rid of them to save drive space, but I cannot find where the files are stored now. I did test by disconnecting from the internet and verified I can still open attachments, so they are somewhere. Any pointers?
  14. Thank you for this. I'm on the other side of the spectrum--I have over 30,000 notes, and probably 1/3 have PDFs. In my early use of Evernote I saved PDFs to my drive and used the feature that automatically imported things from selected folders. However, eventually I gave way to just clipping them, since it is very efficient to do so, and now I would guess the majority of my PDFs only exist in Evernote. My main database is about 20 GB on my local drive. Sounds like moving to OneNote would not be a net plus for me.
  15. Reading the 20 or so posts a day in this thread has become a highlight of my day, please don't take it away!
