  1. Encryption is also an added layer of encryption locally. Yes, "if someone already has access to my machine they're going to get it anyway", but extra layers are extra hurdles that the average "target of opportunity" intruder or prying eye isn't going to have time to mess with, as opposed to having things in plain text. Yes, Elephant, there are things even on a local protected machine that should not be displaying in plain text, even if it's source resides on Evernote's "impenetrable" cloud fortress. If there is a retroactive crippling of a long embedded feature that has been utilized in notes dating back to at least 2009, it will just at another rat maze of problems for the existing paying users to untangle and manually encrypt externally as you suggest, whether they decide to jailbreak their 50+ GB databases and jump ship to someone else, or they decide to stay and keep paying for this ever evolving migraine. Retroactively reworking encryption points for 3rd party, outside the app on entry points that were on a pick and choose basis for over a decade would be a nightmare even IF there was a sane and orderly way to search them, to then manually outsource to some other app to piggyback with Evernote or evacuate one by one.
  2. You are out of your god damn minds? I've put up with broken software for well over a decade I gladly payed for over these years. You think my piles of notes are going to export cleanly into "my choice to leave to other software". People are going to have piles of locked data and dataloss. Oh yeah, I'm sure this will all export cleanly. Back it up and have it butchered and landlocked. As it stands, the product is so broken people are stuck resorting to the old version, because the old version's idea of "broken and unsupported" is safer to their data and workflow than the current versions because there is no RELIABLE way to export that amount of data, while being able to keep track of what 56,000 notes are butchered, bricked, or flat out missing. I've been an apologist for this bloatware for so long , happily muddling through all the workarounds because this is the system I entrenched myself into since 2009, but this is glorified ransomware at this point. "the notes in your trash count toward the 50 note limit", LMAO. This is coming from someone who has always paid. The software and company has regressed, it should be BEGGING users to come back. Another perk of being a paid user is apparently not being notified of these little new changes. This is highly alarming for premium users as well. Especially those of us with years of ongoing shared notebooks with other users I drug into this mess.
  3. Really? More incentive for me to not upgrade. I waited forever for that feature and still use it constantly on 6.x
  4. Got a new phone a couple months ago. Played nice with the last version of Legacy, until the last few days it started saving all of my screenshots (PNG) as attachment view. I didn't make any changes to trigger this. Figured I'd workaround it from the dekstop client and manually change it to picture view, but the "view as attachment" option is greyed out. Anyone else have this issue, or anyone have any workarounds (short of being forced out of Legacy?). (To be fair, I did give the new app a shot when I first got the phone, but gave up after it failed to ever load a single note. I'll come back around to it again when it stabilizes).
  5. It's always a good rule to backup your own apps when things are running smoothly while never allow auto-updates. I've had some Play Store apps sneak by updates despite my settings, oddly enough. The more you rely on an app, the more valuable your backups become, so it's best to be ready when a developer "pulls an Evernote" and you're stuck with a crippled app (pretty sure Evernote was the inspiration for my developing this valuable habit was back in 2010 or 2011, after learning the hard way
  6. I was sitting there wondering why I didn't get any more 6.25*.* updates. It didn't seem that long ago that I got the last one. And we already have to resort to Filehippo to get a past copy? Looking at this thread feels like history repeating itself. I remember suffering through Evernote bloat during certain release stages before (either 4.x or 5.x) among a lot of ongoing annoyances that I traded for a lot of ongoing new perks and improvements over the years. Leaping from 6 to 10 sounds like a very Microsofty thing to do when forcing users to part with the versions they perfected. I can't even imagine how many issues I'll have with it beyond the obvious and already mentioned. Last I checked, the alternatives did not suit me at all. Every time I toy with importing into Onenote I come running back before 50 notes even sync. If they kill support for this it'll be a disaster for me. The way their ship is running these days, it looks more like a "when". I got a beta invite. I thought I signed up, but didn't do anything with it since I only heard about it maybe once then thought I've got enough bugs to wrestle with official stuff. Not that it would've made much of a difference. They have a history of overlooking some of the most basic yet chronic complaints over the years. Still plenty of bugs in the "legacy" family. Still have lots of random hangs there too despite a speedy setup. On my laptop shared notebooks just stopped syncing out of the blue. I could've reinstalled, but it probably would've required a fresh sync and at this point those are pretty painful for oldtimers, especially on a laptop. Very frightening to hear that they're pulling an Evernote again -- and one that might be inescapable. The whole reason I checked the forum to begin with was after the webclipper started trying to capture the entire screen before i have a chance to use the selector. After 3-5 tries I can manage to drag the selection without that happening. Another issue I pretty much have to wait out and hope it disappears, that started out of nowhere. Evernote 10 is sounding more and more like Evernote 2020 Update: As predicted, the screenshot issue disappeared after X amount of weeks, no updates.
  7. This isn't a huge program breaking issue or anything, but an odd annoyance that just started a few days and doesn't coincide with a recent update (I have the current public version installed weeks ago I'd guess). I'll be searching like normal one minute, and the next minute nothing at all comes up... but there's a connection. I'll notice my list of tags in the side panel, which I always have collapsed because it's a bloody jungle, will be expanded. I confirm the cursor IS indeed in the notes panel where note searches are performed, and it will fail to find *anything*. When I got back to the left panel, collapse that massive tag list, back to the middle panel to search notes, it will find things. Then the cycle will repeat a handful of times per session (sessions these days are fairly short to begin with). This issue survives reboots, so...I don't know. It's easy enough to get passed, but it's just too strange not to post. I guess I'm the only one?
  8. Hah, that blog post says it all. I didn't notice the logo change at all and probably never would have had I not skimmed it, but it's no surprise there was a long winded dramatic newsletter posted about it. I guess it's better than them investing in 80 dollar notebooks and 60 dollar elephant sock merch.
  9. Well, I'm a different user, but chiming in to say I'm glad you asked those questions. I had this non stop with shared notes several months ago, and it seemed to have cleared up. Even tonight, I was making some entries in shared notes doing just fine, then it started again all of a sudden. (I did update to the current public release recently, but that was a few days ago). It definitely happens more likely in a separate window (glad you brought that bit up), because force editing it in the internal windows seems to be preventing the cursor jump, but in place of the jump, my old friend keyboard lag every few seconds instead. But yeah, it's only on shared notebooks for now. Truly maddening. The lag doesn't seem as bad as the time months ago, where I was forced to use the web version and jump on the client only when I needed to merge something. I guess I could've copied and pasted from non-shared notebooks, but the level of frustration must've hampered my mental clarity before I thought of that, haha. Out of all the bugs left to run wild (and in this case seemingly die off and resurrect), it is mind boggling that this one gets swept under the rug. I'm far too entrenched to migrate, and I love the program for a hundred other reasons and put up with the headaches, but it is a tad alarming.
