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.

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.

Sent you a DM.

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.

Export by notebook to import by notebook. 235 files in your case.

I made the decision in 2021 not to wait for V10 to achieve functional parity, pre BS. I thought it unlikely and was sure local notebooks weren’t coming back in any case. So I moved on at the end of 2021. A hard decision but function drove it. I have been coming back to the forums to check V10 progress. Still misses the mark for my use case. No drama, it is what it is.

Add Microsoft 365 to the mix to confuse things. $100 for some software and 6 TB of space for family. For me app feature trumps storage, so not really a meaningful compare. Storage to storage with storage specific features a different story. But that's just me.

Comparing EN and cloud storage companies is a bit of apples and oranges isn't it? Unless one used EN simply as a file repository I suppose. Not an existential question, but do folks buy EN for storage or function?

Most of the time I print to PDF now. Sometimes I will use Awesome screenshot and its cropping/save to PDF capability. FWIW.

Best I can tell Legacy does not play nice with the new backend. BS is removing the overhead.

Comes back to BS/EN not setting a date certain as to sunsetting legacy. It left a crack. Anyone who has a remainder of sub left could feel they were shortchanged. Logically anyway. Not saying a law suit makes any sense. Not saying whining about it makes any sense., Not saying hanging on to the hope of Legacy lasting forever. Just saying not having hard knowledge of this year you are signing up for is not a full year is valid. I have no sympathy, but I understand the point.

Desk chairs on the Titanic, but I think the actual data format per se is SQLite. Why EXB was chosen as a file extension, not sure.

There must be a story in here somewhere ... gazump verb [ T often passive ] UK informal /ɡəˈzʌmp/ UK /ɡəˈzʌmp/ to refuse to sell a house that you own to someone you have agreed to sell it to, and to sell it instead to someone who offers to pay more for it:

@enfan-01 I use Everything as well, daily in fact. Great tool. It is remarkable, "How do they do that!?!, for file name searches but not so much for file content. Hence Windows Indexing for my repository, old EN stuff and new stuff I've been adding for two plus years now. My current Windows search is faster than Legacy and for sure faster than V10. Which actually surprised re Legacy initially. Paperless use case thing.

Disagree. I exported my notes at the end of 2021 and have been using that export since. Obviously more searching with my new stuff. But I still use the EN bits. For example, sell a stock and want to get the buy sheet. Enter the stock name or symbol and acct number if I want to winnow the list. Almost immediately I have a list to review. So, working fine for my use case.

Windows indexing isn't too complicated. Press the Windows key, type Ind and indexing and Indexing Options should appear. Hit enter and you should see a panel like the one below. Click modify and select the folders (root folder will include all the sub folders) you want indexed. Click Advanced - File Types and click the the Index Properties and File Contents button. I only index the folders I will be searching. The indexing is running in the background and doesn't use much resource with focused locations. Relative to tags search for tags*tagname. Assuming you exported tags. For example, tags*workout will return any files with workout as a tag, no matter where in the tag list. Just normal search stuff. To be clear this is a backup repository with easy access via search. Not a replacement for legacy.

You've made my day! Anytime 4 billion pounds of stress is removed it's gotta be a good thing! FYI. If you apply Windows Indexing to the root of your HTML folder(s) you can then search the contents of the HTML and folders via File Explorer. It is fast. This is helpful if you want to do a tag search for example.

The below will create an HTML file and a folder (if the note has attachments) in the export folder for each note in the export set. Easier to access individual notes thin way. Be sure and update Options via the button for all of the meta data you want to include. Best to do a notebook at a time or all. Best to use an Export folder only once. There is a risk of duplicates if you export to the same folder twice. My method was to export by notebook as I did not have that many notebooks though I did have 60k notes. This provides some structure. But if you have less than a couple thousand notes should be fine to export them all to a folder something like EN HTML BU 2024.03.07. Then you can search and view to your heart's content.

Used for a different purpose back in the day, but the instructions are the same. Yeah, HTML is safer. One oops with firewall or airplane mode and Legacy is gone post 3/23. https://www.evernote.com/shard/s186/client/snv?isnewsnv=true&noteGuid=ec05ed88-ae37-457d-b188-399615a71449&noteKey=00e5278c5643d9fe&sn=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.evernote.com%2Fshard%2Fs186%2Fsh%2Fec05ed88-ae37-457d-b188-399615a71449%2F00e5278c5643d9fe&title=Fixing%2BEvernote%2BWindows%2BClient%2BFreeze-up

Basically, make sure you are logged into EN before the time comes. From that point forward: NEVER be connected to the internet when you open EN or EN is open NEVER log of out EN, ONLY File - Exit after using the reference. And you may have to go to task manager to stop the EN clipper task. You can block EN with a firewall rule or simply go to Airplane mode when you want to access the reference. This should prevent the legacy client from connecting to the server. In theory, this stand alone version will last as long as your device. It's a band aid. Additional option, belts and suspenders, is to export all your notebooks to HTML and use native search for reference. All of your attachments will be in the export as well. Sample below of what it looks like on Windows. If you use Windows Indexing on the export folders you can search contents as well, very fast. I think there is a Mac alternative. Pretty slick for a reference library. And you have the HTML of the notes to take elsewhere if you like. FWIW.

Can't cut it how?
