Warning, post a bit into techy details. I was surprised today to find a note that had both blue and green links for Evernote links. I copied the links out of the original document into a new small document and things were preserved. Exporting this to an ENEX File, looking at it in a text editor with soft wrap on the lines: I have munged the actual Evernote links. The green link has a SPAN around it, coloring it green, while the blue link does not. I assume that blue is the default link color. The original note had the same SPAN for styling around the green link. FWIW.

New Files section in the Evernote desktop sidebar
Dave Green replied to Cristiano478's topic in Evernote General Discussions
I had to signout deleting files and then sign back in before files worked for me on macOS. -
Sort of reinstall. I did lots of things, but the one that worked was signing out, choosing to delete data (sigh), and signing back in—it's working now. Thanks.

Links to Apple Mail items no longer open
Dave Green replied to dkalb's topic in Evernote General Discussions
That is a bug presently in Evernote's handling of URI's. It also fails for many other URI's at present. See Please consider filing a bug report (I have). As I understand the Windows version does not suffer from the same problem so hopefully there will be a resolution. -
I'm going to get BANNED real soon!
Dave Green replied to KoZz's topic in Evernote General Discussions
They preserve the collapsed nature, and thus, since it is saved, it changes the stored note. I am not agreeing; I am just giving you my model of why it does what it does. I hope they take a look at all of this as the RENT project is developed. -

There are subtle things that cause changes where changes are defined as anything that changes storage. For example, the conversion of an old page to RTE (real-time editing) causes the updated time to change. Also, collapsing or expanding sections changes the updated time. I use text in the note: Last Updated: 2024-04-05 to note the type of update I want to track. I am not arguing that this is great; just noting my approach to using the system as built. -
The good news is that after another 30-40 minutes, the modified tag did come down in another sync/export, so it seems to be just a very slow process but not a "never" process. This is a very welcome change from earlier.

The issue is with renamed tags (not applied tags nor new tags). I just looked at this again... New note with existing tag. Run evernote-backup, then export from it the ENEX files including the notebook containing the new note. Looking at it with editor, I see the note & tag. Modify this note by adding a new tag. Run evernote-backup, then export from it the ENEX files including the notebook containing the new note. Looking at it with editor, I see the note & the two tags. Modify the tag name (over in the tags window), renaming it. Observe in Evernote that the test note has new tag. Wait 5 minutes for things to propagate. Run evernote-backup, then export from it the ENEX files including the notebook containing the new note. Looking at it with editor, I see the note & the two tags but the tag has the original name not the modified one. I waited another 8 minutes and redid things again without change. Couple of notes: 1. I patched my problem after the big rename for portability by killing the local database and then re-initing it. With my script, Evernote note collection (8000), and my network connection, the scripted incremental backup and complete export takes about 4-5 minutes. Killing the database and re-initing takes substantially longer. 2. I run evernote-backup routinely every day at 3 AM and then export all the ENEX files. That way, I have fresh ENEX files, and my (Apple) time machine backup gives me a a history of the ENEX files in case I wish to recover something from a few days ago if things were to go really bad. Never had to use the history but I am always ready to test another tool's importer tool. Again, in summary, it looks like the problem is with renaming tags, not with creating new ones or applying new or existing ones. I guess another workaround might be to never rename tags but to add new ones to all notes that have the old tag, then delete the old tag.

Links to a specific text in notes / Backups
Dave Green replied to GinNumberOne's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Notebooks can be exported to ENEX, right-click on a notebook or see the "..." on the notebook panel. -

Replacement for Evernote Legacy
Dave Green replied to johnm243's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Keep It 2 looks interesting for those in Mac-only world. Evernote import works (slower than some tools) but works except it does not attempt to deal with note that link like Yarle, Obsidian, and Joplin can. Program is small and feels fast. You can open a note in a window separate from the 3-column pane just like Evernote although it is not quite as friendly to do so (or I have not found it.) It also supports Grammarly. The iPhone version of Keep It 2 is less powerful but much less confusing than the Obsidian one IMO. Seems to support choosing to download notes or not. -
I'm screwed. I can't do anything with Evernote 10.
Dave Green replied to testYYer's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Still hoping they will make it work for the Mac again. -
Evernote notes were all exactly duplicated.
Dave Green replied to Bill W's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Did the new copies get imported into one or more notebooks starting with "(Imported)"? If so, it would seem you could those Notebooks. -
Any way to turn off Hoverover bubbles?
Dave Green replied to dvgibson's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Feels like they did get the timing right and put up the bubble too quickly causing it to interfere with normal selection motion. Hopefully they can increase the delay and eliminate the frustration that it presently brings. -
I agree with the analysis, but I don't see how it can be configured in TextExpander. As a poor workaround, after pasting, you can delete and retype the space after the ## (or highlight the space) and replace it with a space. Alternatively, you can use Keyboard Maestro for this, which can submit keystrokes for processing.

Additionally... Are they titled for the subject line of the email? searching using intitle:”subject text” should give you them (not perfect almost as well as many mail clients) especially if you sort by date.
