Where and how is Evernote stored on my computer?
s2sailor replied to Ayil's topic in Evernote General Discussions
If you are on v10, I will assume you don’t have any local notebooks, ones that never sync to the server. Using v10, I don’t know any way other than installing the software, logging in and letting Evernote replicate your database on the new device. -
Where and how is Evernote stored on my computer?
s2sailor replied to Ayil's topic in Evernote General Discussions
If you are not using the new v10, it is pretty easy. All of your data is stored in the .exb file. Make sure your current Windows app has been fully sync’ed and then copy the .exb file to a portable storage device. On your new PC install Evernote and then exit the program. It will have created a new .exb file. Replace this with the one you backed up on your storage device. Restart Evernote and log into your account as usual and you should be good to go. -
While we are speculating, here is my reading of the tea leaves. No one knows when the plug will be pulled on legacy. Those who are expecting a high level of feature parity with the legacy version will, I think, be disappointed. I think they are close to where “they” want to be. If v10 is close to what you need, then you can wait. If v10 horribly breaks your workflow, and there is a long list of items needed to make you whole, then I would suggest you start the search now. Picking a replacement won’t be easy. There is no clear winner. It is dependent on your workflow and what features are important to you.

There are several existing threads already covering alternatives. Some of them are extensive. You may want to check them out.

V10 barely has any menus. Nothing complicated there. -

s2sailor replied to ajschmidt's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 10.0 and above)
The comparisons you are providing, are, to me, apples and oranges. Those apps have different purposes with some overlapping function. I think Evernote and Workflowy are essentially different implementations of a note taking app. Evernote does have added function. For my usage, Workflowy provides one advantage over Evernote, and that is text collapsing. I won’t store notes in another application for only that feature. I’ll continue to do without. We all have different definitions of what basic functions Evernote should have. IMO this is one of them. -

Sure, Workflowy is quite nice but personally I don't want to use another app to pick up one function that really should be integrated in a note taking app, IMO. -
Is there a manual sync button?
s2sailor replied to Don0819's topic in Evernote for Mac Issues (Versions 10.0 and above)
The sync button isn’t hidden. They have removed it. There are numerous comments on the forum requesting it back. No matter how good they think they can make the sync, and v10 is definitely not there yet, I think we should always have a manual sync option.- 1 reply

State of the Product - Ian Small
s2sailor replied to southernforge's topic in Evernote General Discussions
And it should be no surprise when users stop participating in betas. Without knowing which features were dropped permanently, or just not implemented yet, or any acknowlegement of which bugs were fixed (for the most part), I found participating in betas extremely frustrating and ultimately not worth my time or effort.- 110 replies

When to move from 7.14 to 10?
s2sailor replied to DavidD's topic in Evernote for Mac Issues (Versions 10.0 and above)
They acknowledge some here usually as a request for information on a specific issue. They don’t provide a detailed list of what defects they are working on or have on the backlog. It is best to try v10 yourself to see how it is with your workflow. Some appear to like it, others hate it. -
Option for reverse note writing (last minutes at the top)
s2sailor replied to PierreRiollet's question in General Feature Requests
I just use a bullet list for this. Position the cursor in front of the first word at the top of the list and press enter. This moves the list down and creates a new bullet at the top of the list for your new entry. -
Out of curiosity, based on?

The horizontal line is still there. In the upper right is a + blue button for insert, and one of the options is a horizontal line. Concerning the limited fonts, they reduced it to a number that can be supported on all platforms consistently. In prior Evernote versions there were complaints on fonts changing depending on which device they were viewed on. I think this is a case of you are damned if you do and damned if you don't. For v10 they decided on the limited but consistent approach which is ok for me but I do understand others would prefer more font offerings.

Restore Manual Sync/Sync Button
s2sailor replied to silvershower's question in Evernote for Mac Requests (Versions 10.0 and above)
There are probably others posts on this but I didn't stumble across them. I'm using v10.3.7 on a Mac and created a note with an attached PDF. I see the "all changes saved" message and everything looks ok. I tried viewing this note on another system to add some comments and find that it never sync'd. I created another test note on the Mac and confirmed that sync stopped. I then deleted the note with the PDF to see if syncing will start again and it doesn't. Other than I just so happened to check on another system, there is NO indication that the note sync failed or that the Mac syncing is now stuck. I will likely need to reinstall to get it working again. 🤬 We REALLY need a sync button with success or fail indication! -
It doesn't work this way on the Mac. After scanning you need to give focus to Evernote and it then "attaches" the file and opens a new note full screen. It doesn't create a new folder. It opens in my default folder. In the full screen window you can then move the note to another folder and tag as usual.
