The 2 installs have nothing in common. Get AppCleaner and make sure you uninstall the correct EN client. Even if you uninstall both, you can always reinstall the v10 client.

Currently on a Mac it clips directly into a new note:

Nice - just tried a new profile in ScanSnap Home. Scan To Evernote - it actually does exactly this, to the local client. Positive may be it creates a note directly from the scan, without an intermediate folder. To be more precise, it saves a copy of the file into a local folder, that needs to be specified in the profile. But it then uses this file directly to create a note. Negative is it creates the note directly after the scan - if the file name is no good, you need to rename the pdf file, and change the note title. So they build this into ScanSnap Home in one of the last updates, which is OK for me - even I I don't intend to use it, since I prefer to name the file properly to avoid the rework in EN.

As long as you have ScanSnap Manager as a go-in-between, the scanning path is never direct. You scan Scanner - Scanner App (desktop) - Evernote (local client). Even ScanSnap Cloud is more direct: It scans Scanner - Scanner App (mobile) - Evernote (server via API).

You can plain forget you plans. Without an active login from when the client still synced (then shielded against connecting ever again to the server) a v6 client won’t open your existing database. And what would it be worth ? It is just a local software, unable to perform anything useful. Especially no search index, no OCR, no thumbnails etc. - all this was run on the server, not on the local platform. EN since long depended on such server based services - the local clients were only the extension for the main service. Without the server they are just the piece of outdated code they have always been for the last 4 years.

This post was not directed at you. If I understood it correctly, your current scanner is dead. It may be better to think about what scanner to get, instead of loosing yourself in the finer details of other people workflows. Scanning directly into EN is not possible with v10, independently from the scanner you choose.

If you use ScanSnap Home (or Manager, but it’s deprecated) you scan into the software. You can do there in the Fujitsu app what is described for the 3rd party software (size, DPI, rotation, erase pages, OCR etc). Then you give it a „good“ name and save into an Import Folder. The latest releases of ScanSnap Home look a lot like the older ScanSnap Manager. The only difference I see is that Naps2 says it allows scanner access over a network. The Fujitsu scanners (except the newest ones) are by concept local scanners, working together with a connected computer where the ScanSnap software is running. This even when the connection is via WiFi, and the scanner has an IP address in the local network. For my setup it is not relevant. And Naps2 needs to be hosted somewhere as well.

I‘m out here. Everything that needs to be explained has been explained. I don’t write about the same twice - the thread is open and can be reread to understand. If the OP wants to collect his own experience, fine with me. We all do. He can then come back and report about it. Meanwhile I use my venerable ix500 the way I found best for me.

No, v10 doesn't allow to scan directly into a note. Scanning directly into an Import Folder is a bad idea: While the scanner scans, it builds a file. The Import Folder has no clue that file is still work in progress, and will import it. In fact with a larger scan it will import several versions, all of them incomplete and corrupted. Only the last one will be usable. You could use ScanSnap Cloud to scan into EN. Which means you need a mobile device to handle the operation, since the cloud application is a mobile app. We have been there since 3 years - if you don't trust the advise, just go ahead and find out yourself. That's how we learned to dot the i's and cross the t's with the new app.

Just checked - in my case the EN database is approximately 5% larger than the backup database. Hardly a significant difference when different DB technology is applied.

@kumquat Check if popup windows are allowed in the browser settings. Blocked popup windows seems to a major reason for problems with EN in browsers.

With screen grabbing, out of luck on Win 11. Beside this I am working Mac only (running Win10 in a VM on occasion). Going Mac would be my prime productivity hint - I switched 5 years ago, and have saved me a ton of time struggling with the OS of my computers.

The workflow with v10 is to scan into ScanSnap Home (which is supported), and from there save the file into an Import Folder. The file will be imported into a new note, that is named after the file. If you assign a good file name, you avoid rework with the note title. ScanSnap Manager was updated in the past to 64bit, but is now deprecated. A Fujitsu EN Edition scanner can be converted into a regular ix500, if this is the problem. If you are used to the Fujitsu scanners, you maybe want one of the new ones, like an ix1600. Other brands with good feedback are Epson and Brother.

Just to mention it: It is really a Win11 thing. The EN helper works on Win10 and on macOS.

Just tried my login. Works for me, including 2FA. Uninstall, restart the device, reinstall from the AppStore. Try again.

To be more precise: If you don’t have it, get and install Revo Uninstaller from the web. Quit the EN client from the menu (not only closing the window). Now run Revo to remove everything. Restart the PC. Install EN again, from the EN website. Open, log in. Working ? Then let it open in the background, to allow the download of your data to the local drive.

You can’t. Without a persisted login (by cutting the server connection when being logged in) the client is useless. Maybe there are some hacks - but what are they worth ? You can access your notes using the modern client. Local notebooks (if any) should be exported from your leftover install before it goes belly up as well. HTML is a good choice if you don’t want to import them into the new client and to the server. Else use ENEX.

@konya dake When you talk to EN, tell them positively why they should change something. Describe your use case, tell the benefit for others. Arguing „because the old clients did“ is no good idea. The new client is out since 2020, used by millions of fellow users. They all are adapted to what you want to get changed.

As already posted the only solution is to use a menu bar manager for MacOS, and move the EN icon to a hidden segment. Personally I find the EN helper useful - to jot down a fast note, or the occasional screenshot. It supports my use of EN to collect and organize all kind of information.

BTW the GitHub export project doesn’t need to run on the same device as any EN client. It uses the API and pulls the data from the server. Since it can run in a Docker, it can even be installed on any device able to run Docker. If EN supports the OS is not relevant. Can be a server, a NAS or even one of the more potent Raspberry Pi models.

It requires one of the latest releases. The TOC option shows up in the blue + menu. If not, a log out / quit app / restart / log in may help.

You set headers in your note to structure it. Headers are defined by applying a header text style to a line of text. There are Levels 1-3. This was introduced with v10 in 2020. What is now new is A) the sections below the headers can be collapsed and expanded. B.) The headers serve as anchors. Hover the mouse over a header. To the left you get an arrow that will collapse and expand it. To the right you get a symbol to copy a link that points to this header in the note. To create a TOC of a note, go to the blue + menu and select Table of Content. It will grab all links from all headers, and create aTOC from it at the beginning of the note.

I use stuff like that on notebooks - it works on other areas of use as well:
