    right now these M1 and M2 things are a very niche market.

     

    Well they are currently >8.5% of all laptops shipped and probably a higher percentage of potential Evernote users.  I always get amused that on this forum there seem to be people that defend Evernote not being arsed to do something to improve the product (yes I appreciate there are competing priorities etc).  It was the same with the non-M1 optimised Evernote app which was horrendous but finally got sorted out.  The web clipper is the final element.  The fact it is loaded all the time means there is a performance overhead in having Rosetta2 always running which may or may not lead to excessive swap file use.  I for one have removed it from the browser for this reason as it was the only Intel code application left running on my Mac - everything other app has made the transition.  So to use it I have to re-enable it, *then* one mississippi two Mississippi three Mississippi etc....  not exactly a slick workflow...

  2. Just coming to this thread...  22s to load Evernote on my Mac M1 8GB.  And everytime I open it it says there is a new version to download.  It's nuts.

    Looking at the update information:

    Fixed 🛠

    - If the app seems a little zippier, that's not your imagination. We made some tweaks so it now starts up even faster.

     

    Hmmm....wait a minute it says version 10.27.5...  I did wonder if this thing isn't updating each time because literally every time I open there's an update?  Oh no, after updating its now 10.28.3.  Ok re-test - no, still 22s to open. This is truly diabolical for a note taking app that I pay £50 for each year.

    Why are Apple Silicon apps important?  Well, something has been ***** with my SSD - after one year with M1 MacBook Air my drive lifetime left is just 85% - TBs and TBs of data have been written to my SSD by kernel task and I have no idea why but I have a hunch that it is something to do with non-M1 apps running in Rosetta with some sort of memory leakage leading to large swap files.  As a result I am trying expunge anything Intel based that needs Rosetta (albeit it works very well most of the time).  To be fair the culprit is probably Microsoft Teams which I normally leave open so I've ditched the desktop version of this and swapped to running it as an Edge browser app which works just as well.  I will probably do the same for Evernote, although because of its bloat I don't normally have it running as part of my workflow.  Apart from onenote and dropbox finder integrations (which I can do without) the only remaining Intel app is the Evernote web clipper....  perhaps Evernote could at least make a M1 version of the webclipper for Safari?

    (NB if only one wants to see what Apps you are running that are Intel or Apple Silicon, you can see it in Activity Monitor if you add the 'kind' column).

  3. Hmm that's an interesting idea.  Thanks for that DTLow.  I guess that means that I'd have the file stored in a folder and in Evernote, taking up twice the space.... but then I probably do that anyway.... :)  I suppose I can't quite believe Evernote hasn't made this an easier workflow (like it is from the webclipper).  But maybe its not so easy to implement it at the OSX level.

  4. Is there any way to upload an opened PDF from Preview into a specific notebook?  I can use the uparrow share thingy but it only ever loads into the default (in my case "first notebook").  Then I have to go into Evernote and move it to the right notebook which is a right ball-ache.  Am I missing something or is this just not possible?  I know I can do it from the browser both on the desktop and Android but that's not what I'm asking about.   Its really really annoying!!
