  1. Sure, have at it, but, and we have had this discussion before, I think those examples are apples and oranges. Both Evernote and Workflowy can be considered note apps with different features. I'm suggesting that a feature Workflowy has be implemented in Evernote. Links are useful, but I still have to go to the other app to search. I think it makes more sense to suggest Word as a workaround. At least that file can be attached and searched by Evernote. Agreed.
  2. Not that I'm aware of. You can export notebooks no longer used, store them elsewhere, and then delete them from your database, but that will also delete them from the server the next time it is sync'd. The Windows legacy version has a feature called sync on demand that allows you to have a keep a smaller database footprint on your PC, but I don't think Mac ever had that feature.
  3. IMO not when it requires storing notes in a separate app and then searching both to find what you need. Workflowy is a work around and its existence is not a valid reason to suggest that Evernote not consider adding this feature. We are going to have to agree to disagree on this one. I agree with this in general, when the attached files are searchable. Can a Workflowy file be attached to an Evernote and be searchable? I don't think so, but I have not tried. I would suggest merging this with the older thread. I voted that one up years ago.
  4. I don’t use the iOS clipper much. It works ok for me. Not great, but ok. What I really dislike though is having to go to the app before the clip is saved into Evernote. This is also standard behavior on the Mac when scanning. I really hope they find a way to remove this intermediate step.
  5. You are not alone. many of us would like to see collapsible sections added to Evernote. Workflowy is a nice app and would give you an immediate work around if you need that ability now, but it requires you to store notes in two apps and search both unless you go through the bother of exporting one and storing it into the other. IMO this is a more useful feature than the recently added cross out list feature, and Evernote went through the time and effort to add that. Including this should be considered also. This is becoming a standard feature in Evernote‘a competitive space.
  6. My offline notebook is about 1/2 your size. I’m over 24 hours and about 1/3 complete. Still downloading so fingers crossed it will complete. It has not on prior versions, so this is a good test for me.
  7. I think those that made heavy use of tag hierarchy in Evernote, and want to maintain that, will have more of a challenge finding an app replacement without some restructuring first.
  8. I tried to import one of my local notebooks into Onenote, and it cranked away for over 8 hours. Then after completion told me that about 1000 notes could not be imported. I haven’t looked into this any further. I tried Devonthink a year or so ago and that appeared to import everything flawlessly. At least as best as I could tell with some cursory checking. Since it is a Mac app, it is not a work solution for me, but I was interested in trying it out.
  9. I just installed the green and I prefer the white as well. I already have Todoist in a side panel and don’t need another. It has been reported that the Evernote Outlook clipper has been removed from v10. If that is the green version and we will still have access to the white one then I guess I don’t understand what the concern is. The functionality seemed pretty similar to me.
  10. Maybe, but I think most of us are pragmatic. Sure, we use and like Evernote and hope they succeed. That is why we are here, but if the pain is great enough and there is a better alternative out there, I'll jump ship and not look back. There is a lot of new and interesting development in this app space, which I follow, but for my needs, currently the EN legacy version is still the best.
  11. I've only had and used the white icon version. I wasn't aware of the other, green icon version. This is on my work system where I am using the legacy Evernote. Is the white icon version available for v10, or is neither available? I use the Outlook Windows client and not the web version.
  12. I was surprised that it worked as well as it did. I find the iPad surface a little slippery for writing and the overlay adds some texture and slows down the pen movement a little mimicking paper writing pretty well, at least to me. The overlay also cuts the glare from the glossy screen which I prefer and touch performance isn't affected much so I've kept the overlay on. The Apple pencil was also a pleasant surprise. My last attempt at writing on a tablet was with a pen with a rounded soft rubber tip. I found it more of a novelty than useful. The experience with the Apple pencil and iPad overlay is nice. The last piece of the puzzle was using using Noteshelf which syncs and auto updates to Evernote. Kudos to @stocky2605 for that pointer. I no longer use a paper notebook.
  13. @Shane D. Hey Shane, in posts like this, where you are acknowledging a problem, you might consider not marking them as a "solution." I think it only creates confusion for some.
  14. I’m seeing weirdness with iOS on occasion as well. Broken search being one issue. My only solution has been to delete and reinstall the app. It is a PITA, but it does fix the problem for a while. I’m looking forward to an update as well, hopefully soon.
  15. The created date field was originally locked down in v10 and then opened in a later version. Hopefully they will open up the updated field to editing as well.
  16. If you haven’t tried an Apple Pencil on an iPad with a “paper” texture overlay, you may want to give it another try. I find the experience surprisingly very good. I had been using Nebo but recently switched over to Noteshelf which auto syncs with Evernote.
  17. There are a lot of folks unhappy with v10. Some are trying other apps and some are using the legacy version while waiting to see if v10 develops into something they can use. There are already many other threads on this topic. The alternatives all have trade offs. You will need to do the research to see which will work best for you.
  18. I’ve wondered if the reason why tags have been moved to the bottom of the window is to allow UI space at the top for displaying a future notebook tree. Probably not, but moving the tag location must have been done for a conscious reason.
  19. I missed that part, thanks. Well, I'll be ... I didn't let it complete since I have a lot of notes, but this does appear to work as advertised. I've been on this forum a long time and find I still pick up tips. It is probably documented somewhere, but I've never stumbled across it. Hopefully v10 will provide something similar. Thanks again!
  20. I think with v10 it was more shock and dismay...
