I have been posting for the past 2 weeks about the problems I have been having with v10 on android. I finally found the solution. I updated to v8. Now en is fast and reliable. Lets see what happens.

I am finding v10 filled with bugs and slow behaviour. Is it possible to return to v9?

Thanks. "V10 is the assistant that shows where to find a function in the Macs menus" — that was what I was looking for. O, well, it does not exist now. Not too happy about that lack.

I am using the Android app on my vivo phone to scan my notebook. In the past scanning was fast. Now, on my first try with the new version scanning is slow, 10-15 seconds to scan one page. Previously, about 5 seconds per page. Also, just to list all my problems, now EN flips my portrait notebook scan into landscape. Is anyone else experiencing this, or is it just me? Is there a fix?

Thanks for the info about html clipping.

Regarding the search box, I was unclear. I was referring to the option to search the help topics, not my notes. For example, I could open the help menu and there would be a search box where I could type 'format' and all the format options would appear. This meant even if I did not know the exact name of the service I was looking for I had a good chance of finding that service.

ps Macintosh version.

I am using EN 10.9.10 and 2 questions come to me.

a. Before, I am sure in EN, I could open the 'help' menu and see a search bar. With this I could search EN for whatever I needed, rather than now having to know exactly what I needed and the precise name of that function. Is the search gone?

b. Before, I was sure that I could edit html docs clipped into EN. Now I cannot.

What is happening?

I cannot find the option to clip a webpage from Firefox on my Android phone to Evernote. In the share function every other app on my phone that can accept a clip is listed, but not Evernote. Can anyone tell me how to clip with Firefox? Thanks.

Yes, I do. Now I think about it, I do have firefox set to delete cookies on exit.

Every time I quit and then restart firefox I have to reenter my evernote account details into the web clipper. I use 1password as my password manager, however, the 1password  does not appear in the evernote popup, web clipper page toolbar. So, I have to manually reenter my evernote account name and password. Is there anyway to have 1password do this small, but tedious task for me?

Thanks, that did it.

Perhaps I am missing something obvious, but my creation date (Mac) always shows AD. As the AD is obvious (and I prefer CE anyway) is there some way change this? If so I have not been able to find. Thanks for the assist.

Thanks for the work involved. Yes, when I save or open this blue square the file is clearly present in the EN note. It would be better of course if the file were fully visible, certainly with the filename, however, as long as the file is stored in EN I am content. It does seems as if the Mac version has less capability than the Win version. Thanks again for the info.

You can attach any file type to a note and it should sync to other devices.  You would attach a RAW file in the same way as other files.  Can you provide more information like what the specific trouble is and which client you are working on?

When I drag the .ORF file into a note the file is not copied, rather a blue question mark appears. Copy attached. I am using the Mac version of EN.

Can Evernote store and sync RAW (Olympus .ORF) files? I am having trouble syncing my files. Is there someway to do this?

I'm not seeing the import folder in your script

Yes, the script can get more complex; setting title, notebook, tags, ....

I'm a big fan of scripting

Whoops, let me clarify. This is part of automator. The automator commands before this script select the folder. I have become a moderate fan of scripting.

I figured out how to create an applescript to auto import photos with a tag. Here it is. Obviously, change the notebook, tag, and import folder to your situation:

on run {input, parameters}
    
    repeat with this_item in the input
        set the item_info to info for this_item
        tell application id "com.evernote.evernote"
            activate
            create note from file this_item notebook "Photobackup" tags "photo_backup"
        end tell
    end repeat
    return input
    return input
end run

Is it possible to create an EN (automatic) import folder on a Mac? I see it is possible for windows. This would be useful.

I can see the benefit, but I would prefer full size backup.

That is an excellent point. Perhaps, auto upload and once a month I sit down and organise my EN photos.

Can you tell me a little more about how you use Applescript? Are there pre-written files somewhere or did you create your own? Assume I am a complete dunce at this.

The number of notes is limited to 100,000. I have 90,000+ photos. Plus 3,000 'normal' notes. So this would leave me with little room for expansion.

Applescript - ok. Need to relearn.

I am thinking of a separate notebook for photo backup, with notes for each group of photos, but the 200mb limit for each note will be a problem.

Thanks DT,

I was thinking of a folder approach. Can you explain more about a script for automatically adding "title, tags, notebook". Do you mean Automator?

Which device/platform?  I use a Mac.

I can use an import folder; any files moved there are imported into Evernote and become a note.

I can use a script to automatically assign title, tags, notebook, ...

I would like advice on using EN as a photo backup service. Is there anyone who is using EN in this way? I have read several dated discussions of this topic, but none that answered my questions.

Background: I have ~90,000 photos and am a premium user. I use a Macbook Air. I would like to store all my existing photos on EN. Also automatically backup all new photos. With a 10gb limit this will take time, but I am not in a hurry.

I do use Flickr, but there have been a few problems with flick recently, also flick does not backup RAW photos, of which I take many.

By asking, I am not trying to avoid thinking for myself. I have though of how best to do—I just want to avoid reinventing the wheel.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

I take a snap of my whiteboard every day. I do this first in my phones camera, then I copy the photo into my EN note, along with other material, at day's end. The ocr recognises the text, so I am happy.

exportnote.com is still down. Does anyone know if and when it will be back?
