The special EN version of ScanSnap was "killed" off a while ago. Fujitsu was provided the steps to upgrade from the EN version to iX500 version (http://scansnap.fujitsu.com/global/evernote/index.html) I haven't done that yet... But I just use mine as a scanner, not connected to EN. (Got mine when EN closed down the store - EN offered employees a can't-pass-it-up discount) (plus, I think mine is dying - when scanning double-sided, I get a massive vertical black bar - cleaning did nothing)

It's also why I now work in surgical robotics (and oddly, I switched from Windows to Linux to do that!) (I spent 6 yrs working on the EN Windows client)

Wait - does that imply there's actually an end date to an application's development? 🤣

Hey, I know that one! I worked there (2012/2013) before moving to Evernote. ("moving" == "laid off")

That would surprise me... During my 6 yrs there, it was a very firm "we don't announce timelines/dates" that whole time. But a lot can change in over a year...

I'll bet it's so updates can be done without requiring UAC!

Try pasting into Notepad first, them copy/paste from there into Whatsapp/etc. Evernote puts text onto the clipboard in multiple formats (in this case ENML (EN's special format), HTML, and TEXT). Whatsapp is interpreting that HTML text badly. (Using a clipboard viewer, you can actually inspect what it looks like - I use ClipSpy from Michael Dunn (the URL listed in the program is no longer valid - it's old (2001)!))

And the typical reason this happens is because the MSI file in \Windows\Installer was deleted. (never clean that directory!)

The note list is not controlled by the CSS you are changing. (CSS is only used in HTML based views) The note list is a raw Win32 custom control.

EN certainly didn't write an HTML renderer . When I said "The browser used internally is Chrome's browser", I probably should have written that CEF (chromium embedded framework) is what is used. Which is also the same thing the Chrome browser (and many others - including MS's Edge now) use.

EN has no integration with Pinyin that I know of (I left in 2019), so I don't really know how EN could be causing a problem with how Pinyin works...

Just so you know, this is completely normal. The browser used internally is Chrome's browser, so like Chrome, EN spawns multiple children to deal with html rendering. Another thing to know about EN - clicking the close 'X' does not exit the program (by default), it merely hides the program. (If you turn off sync-in-background that behavior changes) To actually exit, use the menu item "File->Exit"

EN can only clean it if it knows the program using it has closed. There's no way for it to know if the program using the file simply closed the file. And to make things more fun, if the program is a Windows Store App, there's no way to know if the program itself closed. So EN plays it safe and just leaves them there.

That's not where attachments are stored. That's where EN creates a copy when it needs to open the attachment. The attachments are stored in the database (exb file). You can safely delete everything in there (well, you could when I was there...)

Technically, that's a "repair" And, yes, that should fix the uninstall issue which will fix the 6.25 issue (since it's trying to do an uninstall first)

Before I left, that was something I really wanted to fix but priorities... Evernote only saves information to the registry when it quits (completely). I wanted to change it so it would write immediately.

From what I remember of the discussion, it was a financial decision. Atlas wasn't free (no, I have no idea about the cost - I stay away from that stuff!)

I don't have beta enabled. And I only saw it the one time (when I updated). I am on 309091.

Just realized I hadn't added the FF extension on this (new) computer... It does appear to be an EN extension problem - in FF, there should be a toggle to enable the extension in private mode. But that toggle isn't in FF (it is for some of my other plugins) - so it appears the EN extension is saying "don't" (very well could be FF now requires explicit 'yes I can' where it didn't before...)

LOL. I remember that being actually fairly well architected code. Yes, some areas were a little delicate (Thar Be Dragons!), but not bad for a program that has something like 15 years of legacy code in it.

Sure it does. Evernote uses lots of controls out of the Common Control DLL. Firefox doesn't. Some of them are not easy to tweak. (I know, I tried customizing the list control. I lost a lot of hair.)

Click on ^that^ and select "Top List"

Huh. That should only happen on a same-version-upgrade. Looks like the installer didn't get built correctly.

And sometimes it leaves us with paper cuts!

As I remember, that number was defined by product managers... I don't remember if it's a configurable number...
