Yes, the current team is a permanent source of surprises. Many are pleasant, some surprising - but there is a bunch that I find annoying. The unexplained GUI changes are among these.

Is full disk access enabled for EN in Mac system settings, Privacy & Security ?

This is the Windows subforum - wrong place to ask. Because a Mac is not a PC, it can‘t have happened to you what was discussed here before. Please open a new thread, describing your problem. Use the Mac subforum, please.

Go to EN settings, first tab, scroll down all the way: That's on the new version. Mac 5.5. is loooooong outdated - the last legacy version was 7.14. The database probably won't do you any good. If you still have a working login on your client, you can try to take the Mac offline, and open EN. If it opens, export all your notes to ENEX files. Do this notebook by notebook ! You can then import them into the new client after you installed it. You need at least MacOS 10.14 to do so. Your Free account will not do for this operation - the upload is limited to 60MB per month, which will not allow any significant import operation. You will have to subscribe to get enough upload volume.

There is slow and slow. For day to day use it is fast for me, no issues. Where it is slower is on multiple note operations. If it is slow (on adequate hardware) in daily use, it may be the local database is corrupted. Then replacing it with a fresh copy usually solves the issue. It will be slower as well in the first days after converting from legacy, and when opening notes that have not been opened in v10 before. Finally make sure to update to the latest version - there was a change introduced with collapsible sections and lists, that cause the client to slow down when editing long notes.

Actually Safari is my main browser, Firefox second option. I never use Chrome, and Edge is only a skin over a Chrome(ium) engine. Can‘t tell what to set how in Safari - probably I allowed something back then when we went on Mammoth safari, and it carries over ever since. Since browsers are getting more loaded with security functions, it can be an update of the browser breaks things that worked before. Plus plugins, plus maybe corporate settings on managed devices. It can be some try and error, unfortunately. I can just tell that for me it works flawlessly, every time on MacOS Sonoma using Safari and Firefox. It works as well on my iPad with Safari.

The server connection for all old clients was shut down on the 23rd of march, and will not be reactivated again. Notes created since will not be synced and get lost when uninstalling the client. You need to install a client version starting with a 10 as version number. It is a new install, replacing the old client. You need at least Android 9 to be able to install this version. Probably you got no update message when running on an older Android version.

Usually it is a sign of a corrupted local database. One piece of indigestible data causes the app to loop. Remove the whole install using the App AppCleaner. The usual Mac uninstall will not remove all data from the drive. If you already uninstalled, first install it again, open and login once, log out again and quit. Then uninstall with AppCleaner, and install a second time. After the full uninstall all local data is gone, and needs to be downloaded again. After opening the client for the first time let it run in the background for quite a time to allow the download and rebuild of local data.

EN uses the system setting for spellcheck - one language only, and you can’t choose it freely. This has been discussed ad nauseam when v10 launched. You know where to go feedback@evernote.com Maybe chances are now better for a change, since the new team probably lives in Italian and works in English.

Can‘t tell about the Windows firewall - it may be it receives over the air updates itself, and then starts to block what it allowed to pass before. The firewall on my Mac needs to be trained once, on the initial install, and is not messed up later. We all know what to think about MS security … https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/2024-04/CSRB_Review_of_the_Summer_2023_MEO_Intrusion_Final_508c.pdf Closing the app window will not stop the client from executing. To stop it entirely, you need to quit it from the File menu, ad you described. For automatic updates it usually does this itself when ready to install . When you need to stop it manually is when you update yourself. Finally the „Ooops, …“ message is indeed misleading: Usually when it appears the connection problem is not on the far end, but local.

Thanks for elaborating. The forum is user2user. You can send your ideas here: feedback@evernote.com

Scannable is changing. Make sure you have the latest version installed. If you do you will find out that the app is only available for Free if you have an EN subscription. With your Free account or without an EN account the app needs to be paid. It will be about 50 €/$ per year. Probably your interest in using Scannable moved to zero in this moment - the Free rides are over in the EN ecosystem, it seems. A good free alternative is Lens from Microsoft.

Actually we are all on a subscription. It starts when it is paid, runs for the defined period, and when it's over, the money is consumed. The continuous part are your notes - which you can take and move wherever you want. If you decide to subscribe, the cycle starts again. What was left at the end of legacy was in fact a ton of technical debt. The new owners have described in the blog what they encountered, and how they managed to keep the boat afloat after the acquisition. It seems the pig they bought had nice lipstick applied ... https://evernote.com/blog The server software which was the only remaining active part of legacy was called the Monolith - which described the massiveness and the level of intelligence in a single term. Makes an interesting read - and between the lines anybody can understand why it was necessary to take this can of worms offline.

No idea about this specific scanner and Windows. I am on a Fujitsu ix500, and Mac. There the process is to "Scan to Folder", then it is opened in the ScanScnap Home software, the OCR is running and I am asked to choose a file name, and save the file. I have the Import Folder already selected, rename, save and seconds later it appears in a new note.

Go to the tags section. You can open the tags tree there. Here you see a 3 level tree - behind the tags you see a count if you enabled show note count in the View menu. Opposite to legacy you can select when filtering for tags with child tags (1) if child tags should be included or excluded (2). The child tags list is showing (3) in the drop down. And opposite to legacy v10 offers all this on the mobile clients as well.

Open Safari settings. Then you find this in the tab Websites (1). Choose Popup Windows from the side panel (2). You find defined websites (3) and the corresponding settings (4). Options are Allowed, Block and Block&Notify. The settings that will be applied for all websites in general you find in (5). From my experience the notifications are not always reliable. It may be it blocks, but doesn't notify even if Block&Notify is selected.

The forum is open for discussions of all kind. THIS has as far as I remember not been discussed. The flaw does look rather minor - most users simply don't care. Here you find the API documentation (a rainy day will not be enough to read it all). Help yourself ... https://dev.evernote.com/doc/

In general for both own OCR and OCR by EN the scanner should be set to high resolution - 300dpi or better should be selected. 150dpi or less will create bad OCR recognition rates. The files become larger, but only with good picture layer quality the text layer will be correct. If the scanner software does its own OCR you need to check with that software. In the ScanSnap app provided by Fujitsu it is a single checkbox that toggles OCR on or off. If there is an OCR (text) layer in the pdf, EN skips running it’s own. It then only indexes the text layer it receives. Indexing means it takes the words and builds a location mark for each one. This means each word will be in the index only once. The index will then hold all places where it shows. The term MyContent will be there once, and then a list of files and positions inside of that files will follow. That’s how false positives and false negatives happen: A false positive will tell there is MyContent where there is none, a false negative will not show it although it is there. This happens when the word is not identified correctly. So it depends all on the OCR identifying it correctly among the cloud of pixels that form the scripture on the white background. When you open the pdf in a reader app, and you can then select the text with the mouse it usually contains a text layer. At least this was how it used to be. With modern OS doing instant OCR (at least my Mac does) it is sometimes hard to tell without taking a look at the pdf file itself. If all your scans are in English, the English language setting will be fine. Just when using several languages adding them becomes important. But again, this will not override an existing text layer that was created before the pdf was uploaded into EN. A good text layer will give good search results.

That’s enough - to know that only a small group of users run these posts. Usually with a lot of strong expressions, and short of information. Personally I would send anybody who just now switched from only using legacy for half a year into read only mode in this forum. Who used deprecated software for more than 3 years and procrastinated with at least using v10 in parallel should first follow his personal learning curve before starting his rants. The forum has a wealth of information and solutions for anybody who is serious about using v10. Who is switching from legacy will experience a need to adapt his workflows. Who moved with v10 did this step by step. Who stood by until now has it all in one leap. Nobody to blame, who did not adapt over time did bring himself into this situation. Who is not willing to adapt should better quit now, and leave for another app. Nobody waited for you to switch and start ranting. You didn‘t move earlier out of your own decision, and you are where you are because of it. I have my own issues with v10 (as with any other app I use), but in general I prefer it 100% over legacy.

The v10 app is new, 100% fresh code, zero carry over. The only communality was (until May 2023) the common database. This was abandoned when RTE sync was introduced. It is a new app and should be accepted as such.

You use a new app now. Accept it, or switch to an app that suits you better. You are forced to nothing. Nobody will shoot the dog.

With slow I meant maybe 10 seconds, for more than 30k of files. Once the files are listed everything works snappy, like changing the order field or up/down sequence.

The error message says it all: You need to enable popup windows in your browser. You have disabled them <facepalm> …

My preferred OCR is done by the scanner app (in my case Fujitsu, Abby Fine Reader). When a scan comes with a text layer when uploaded, EN will not OCR it again. In this cases the embedded OCR result is used to build the search index. This means: First check if the file comes with a text layer. If yes, you need to improve OCR quality of this text layer to improve search results. If the OCR is off, search will be off as well. To optimize search results when OCR is done by EN, check the language settings in your account settings. The more recognition languages you select, the worse will be the search quality. OCR will be improved by comparing OCR output with a dictionary. When several languages are enabled, there are more false hits generated, and search becomes more fuzzy. On the other hand if you upload a document in a language not included in your settings, search may be wildly off, because the dictionary will replace the OCR reading with words from another language.

The idea is you can repeat searching this way. I have often a situation where I want to find notes using the same search. In these cases it is useful. Where it is helpful as well is when you switch between searching FOR a note, and the searching IN the note. The In-Note-Search field is already populated with the note search content. I don’t need to type anything again.
