    Only 140 notes, but probably about 30 of them are in the 18-20,000 word range, and most others are at least 5000 words.

    Interesting finding! :o My notes are mostly either one liner or a paragraph, but I have over 13000 notes. V10 seems to be slightly better than before, but still not as good as Legacy in terms of loading up the Note window to quickly jot down notes.

    That function has failed for me, miserably. It would grab a limited set of notes (50, IIRC) and give up after that. Every time I tried.

    Please let us know in case you should get better results.

    I haven't tried the Import from Evernote option. I just did a quick test and was able to import 308 notes from a notebook using the HTML import function. However, Notion couldn't locate the images (they are in the exported folders from Evernote). I haven't looked closely to see if there are other problems. 

    I used the following option: 
    Select a Notebook
    Select all the files in that notebook 
    Export --> Multiple Pages .html 
     
    Problems: images are "not found" in Notion files
    Deem your computer unusable during Import, might want to non-computer related stuff 😆 
     
    With the Import from Evernote option, Notion Help page we can import all our notes 🤔 I won't be able to test that until this weekend.

    I think I might have figured out why the new Evernote is so slow and laggy for me. Laggy to the point of being unusable; it's as if every character I type has to go to the server for validation and back before it appears on my screen. I can sometimes type an entire sentence and be on the 10th word before anything appears on the screen.

    I think it's because each of my notes is so big.

    Here's how I use EN: I manage about 25 different documentation projects, and each project has a note in EN. Whenever I work on a project, I enter the to-do list, task descriptions, and other notes, in a dated entry. So basically each note is like a blog for the project, where I have a running history of the work done. Notes run anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000 words at this point, because some of those projects have been running for six years or more.

    So I think that's the problem; the notes are too big. I'm not going to change my process, so obviously I have to find another notes application.

    I'm just noting this here for the sake of other people who have severe lag problems; it might be because your notes are too large.

    How many Notes do you have in total?

    alternatives.

    I haven't exported anything yet as I had been using EN as my "place to dump everything and anything." So it is messy to begin with. I believe Notion has an export from EN function. It is on my to try list. Notion has a learning curve, but once you figure out the key basics and how to use the database (attach files, add tags to individual "entries"), oh boy 😍, it is beautiful and doing something that I didn't know I wanted. 

    What is your EN file like? Text + attachment? (so I can add to that my test list)  

     

  5. Instead of starting a new thread, I will add to this post. Based on what I've read so far... am I understanding correctly that you are locked out unless your desync your 3rd device? Even on your 1st and 2nd device... you simply lose access completely. This is not a bug? 🥶

    P.S. I just found out that Web Client counts as a separate device a few seconds ago 😂🙈 

  6. Anyone tried Evernote 10.18.3 yet? I am still using Legacy. And just tried 10.18 today. My top concern is the speed of creating a new note in a standalone window (one of the best features). 10.18 *seems* to have improved compared to the October 2020 version. It seems to be taking 3 to 4 seconds to load up a new note window instead of 9 to 10 seconds *when it is not lagging*.
  7. I don't use a lot of customization. I like some of the new features. I can get used to new updates. However, the slowness is driving me insane 😕 I chose Evernote over any other note-taking apps because of how quickly it loaded and how simple it was. I could just have one simple window to note down something real fast. Looking at other forum members' responses (and glad to see that I am not alone. OK maybe not glad to see the problem XD), it doesn't seem to be a problem with my computer. 

    Before the update: New note ready to go instantly. 

    After the update: Takes 3-4 seconds after pressing Ctrl + N (new note) to load up a new window. Followed by another 3-4 seconds of spinning. Then 1-2 seconds to load up the icons. 

    I tried to deal with it but... after a while I just ended up using other apps. I hope the slowness will be fixed soon 😕
