  1. Ugh. Could try type in all but last letter, hit space, enter last letter, remove the space. Sometimes works with smart systems.
  2. Which makes it a BS decision in whatever their triage process may be. Works fine for me in a different use case kinda is the point. It's not the same. And it really doesn't help without follow on pointed questions to ascertain the differences. One voice in the wilderness.
  3. It might also be good to recognize openly that bugs do exist in some use cases, sans excuses for BS. There are folks who have made the transition to V10 reporting legitimate issues. Too often the response is "it works fine or me", which doesn't help if the use case is different. Let BS represent themselves re how they will/are handling the issues. 🤷‍♂️
  4. My old EN stuff is an HTML export so a combination of HTML, folders, and PDFs. I don't have much need to modify it as it is primarily a repository for search. I have edited some HTML from time to time, but not much. Mostly to add/delete a tag or change a description. By and large I only edit new stuff. Tags are searchable by entering the tag name, or tag*tagname to avoid unwanted results. My workflow is to add documents and things I want to remember to my file structure. It is a simple structure, a root folder of My Paperless with two sub folders, Evernote and Post EN. There are four folders in Post EN where most new stuff gets added. Any notes or to-do's I now manage with Workflowy. I use assorted AHK hotkeys to facilitate working between Workflowy and Directory Opus (a high powered in my view file manager and so much more). For example if a file represents a follow up I paste the name into WF and have a hotkey which finds and displays in DO. I use Mega to sync between PCs and mobile devices. It has E2E encryption and has as quick a sync as I have seen with cloud providers. Not a particularly complicated set up which emulates what I did with EN. I'm 2 1/2 years into it now and it is reasonably fine tuned. I keep coming back to the forums to check progress as I did leverage EN for quite a few years. Old habits I suppose.
  5. Rolled my own solution. Combination of Windows files, Windows indexing on those files, Mega for syncing, Directory Opus for PC access, Workflowy for tasks and notes. My use case is paperless, GTD, and second brain 30GB of data for a scale reference. YMMV. Not for everyone. But it is at least as fast as Legacy which keeps me happy.
  6. Not sure this can ever get fully fixed with the phone home model. For iterative, quick turn use cases there will always be a lag if all updates/searches are done on the server. FWIW, this issue and the loss of local notebooks led to my exit in late 2021. I didn't think it would get fixed any time soon due to the structure. Don't know what happens if you do all your updates offline and then connect for the sync? Do indexes update on the client in that mode?
  7. The below was posted 9 months ago. One thing I did not include in that post was the fact I now use Workflowy for note taking and task management. As the thread was just about files. Up to 8600 "notes" in the Post EN part of the repository now. So it is scaling just fine. YMMV.
  8. 27k out of 58k notes had a PDF. Maybe not most but a bunch. 😊
  9. What I figured. doesn't sound like a download issue, does it?
  10. Does that mean the PDF should be available on the web?
  11. I'm sure their targets are folks who don't want to spend $100 for software. 🤣
  12. You need to ask Dave. I prefer Proton protein.
  13. Don't you get faster when you go to the gym? 🤣
  14. Opinion methiniks. Opposite could be said as well. Form and function do tussle. Proof in the pudding is how well it fits a use case. Airy UI's tend not to work as well for search intensive use cases, adding scrolling in lists. Too much air can cause scrolling in preview as well. But that's just me. I'm, sure many others prefer a less dense UI than I. 🤷‍♂️
  15. I was actually complementing his return to good behavior. The post showed PE's attitude of the past. PE went down a dark road with all the provocation and pejorative language that landed in these last months. He was definitely as acerbic as were the posts to which he responded. When character questioning starts to creep in it's hard to move on I suppose, I thought this was a step forward. End of the day, It's only software.
  16. @PinkElephant Nice use of restraint. Ignorance can be forgiven though, not so much rudeness or a lack of decorum.
  17. You two ever going to give this shite up?
  18. Search was performed across local and synced documents as well as all other notes, on a prime device. Worked for me in the day as I only needed access to confidential documents when I was at a specific PC. 🤷‍♂️
  19. Hard to say back then, but I think speed may have been a software issue as well. The hardware simply over powered the problem, caching or whatever it might have been.. I think this as just about anyone who switched to SSD saw significant speed improvement. Electron gets mixed reviews and I am not knowledgeable to have an informed opinion. I do have an opinion on having to phone home for all activities though. If sync is not right now then searches are incomplete post changes, for some time, from seconds to many seconds. If a use case involves editing and searching in succession, not so good. A local client and database never had the issue for me. Sync lag and the loss of local notebooks with V10 were enough to get me to exit. 🤷‍♂️
  20. Wow. Not so much. In the early 20 teens these forums were rife with speed complaints. Solution in those days was to upgrade to SSD. Actually, speed issues back in the day were mostly fixed with hardware not software. Just setting the record straight.
  21. Though if you want to be able to search the contents of an encrypted file something like Mega cloud storage works. You can index the files and protect them how you like locally. Your files will sync to other devices and be secure. Though on iDevices only file name is searchable. FWIW.
  22. I always thought this was an interesting choice by EN. Was surprised they didn't change the data structure for all and create 2 wrappers to supply the clients. One for Legacy and one for V10. Still need to sunset Legacy but maybe a smoother transition. Or maybe this was more BS post acquisition. Don't know, I lost focus a bit at the end of 2021.
  23. Export by notebook to import by notebook. 235 files in your case.
