Note that there is a serious regression in Wine 1.4 (stable) and 1.5 (beta) which prevents Evernote from syncing.

See below for current status and a workaround.

Welcome to the forums.

I usually find new notes from email gateway are visible in the Web client almost immediately after e.g. forward from GMail.

Other clients need to be synced before the notes are seen.

Btw I sent in a support ticket I think 10 days ago and still havent gotten a response. I sent in another one but that was more recent. Is evernote that bad with support or was I supposed to login somewhere to see their response? I dont have premium.

Did you receive an acknowledgement email immediately after submitting the support ticket?

If not, you should check your email spam folder.

Welcome to the forums.

No. None of the clippers provide the capability to append to an existing note. All clips are new notes.

As I have said before, Nixnote is a very good client that unfortunately does not scale well due to high resource usage. It was unusable when my main database was just 8000 notes (currently approx 11000). No problems at all when I used it with my 100 note test account.

Will definitely be retesting when v2 is available.

Sounds like you had a corrupted sync state in your old database. Replacing it with a known good database fixed the problem.

There is no way to find duplicates that I know of.

I usually just clean them up as I find them. This happens most frequently when I am processing my Inbox.

I extended the test of Evernote + Wine for almost a week. Used it instead of the Web client.

My conclusion at this time is that this is almost a usable solution in Linux. The memory and cpu load is about the same as the web client and performance is equivalent to using EN Windows in a VM. The memory and cpu load is materially less than the VM.

The problem is that there a lot of UI problems with the Wine + ENW solution. The extent of these problems makes me class this as an unreliable solution. This is an upgrade from my previous rating of it as an unusable solution due to performance problems.

Going back to my Web client plus EN Windows via VirtualBox configuration.

Just quick tested UB 10.04 / Wine 1.4 / Evernote Windows 4.5.2.5904 and latest 4.5.4.6387. Performance problem appears to be fixed. Need to do a longer test to see how it works in production (just starting a 24 hour dog food test).

My weird filter just shorted. Started wondering what other niche text only formats could be of use.

ABC Notation for songs came to mind (I have an old notebook filled with these).

Tex and LaTex is ubiquitous in math and the physical sciences. Markdown and MultiMarkDown would be of more general use.

I have both EN Windows + Wine (out of date at the moment) and EN Windows in a XP VM installed on the same system.

The Wine install is/was literally an order of magnitude slower than the VM install for database operations.

@Martin. Has 1.4 fixed the Evernote sqlite performance issues? I see that Wine 1.4 went stable yesterday (2012-03-07).

I have been ignoring Wine recently pending my planned rebuild/update to 12.04 LTS from 10.04 LTS.

I'm looking for beta testers right now

... i wasn't that happy with it, the UI is horrible.

Then you'll still find it horrible. I stink at UI development & find it extremely painful.

I am working on a 2.0 version that is quite different and will hopefully address a lot of the current problems (and probably create all new ones). Part of that will be a new UI. Unfortunately it is a very long way from being ready.

Nah. Stink is way to strong a term. I had almost zero learning curve for features which matched to the Windows client. Took a bit of RTFM and testing to see what the extra features did, but, at most an hour or so to get up to speed.

My problem with Nixnote is that it does not scale well or reliably.

FWIW: I just happen to be doing one of my periodic retests of Nixnote (Nevernote) as I type. It does have some very nice features which are not available in other clients, e.g. Hiliting, View Source, Selective Downloads, ...

Evernote has been providing ongoing support for Linux clippers in Chrome and Firefox and the Web Client, while missing a few features, works well in a Linux desktop system.

Not perfect, but, certainly usable.

I know this thread is kind of dormant, but put me down for an extra-large order of Editable Tags by Shared Notebook Users. I am running an Evernote group for my writing team and the ability for them to create tags would make things much easier for all of us. I don't quite get the rationale stated above; I'd rather occasionally winnow out redundant tags than have to create all of them myself.

The technical reasons for the limitation are unlikely to change soon.

Best current workaround is to develop procedures whereby the owner of the shared notebook (I assume that is yourself) can quickly honour requests for new tags.

An alternative is to use keywords in the note title or body. This avoids the whole tag issue completely.

I think the best use of Evernote with the visualization of a mind map is to provide:

- Links from items in the map to specific notes.

- Reliable links to external Mind Map applications from attachments in Evernote with proper update of the attachment in the note when saved.

AFAIK, both are possible now.

Some mind mapping tools support url links for nodes. This lets you store details in Evernote notes.

Hmmm. You could probably work around this.

I use a 512MB Ram/18MB Shared Video Ram setting for my Windows VM. This is adequate for the few applications that I use in the VM. It is also adequate because Sqlite works well in low memory environments. More memory for the VM would be better, but, this setting is good enough.

Suggested workaround:

- Close VM via "Save Machine State" when not in use. Have the Windows client open but idle when saving.

- Close e.g Browser when you want to use the Windows VM. Most browsers can eat up 500MB without blinking an eye.

- Re-Start the Windows VM from the saved state. This takes less than 15 seconds on my system.

- Sync Windows client

- Work in Windows client until maintenance tasks completed

- Sync again to save changes to service

- Close (Save Machine State) VM again. Restart e.g. browser.

You also have the option of continuing to use the Nixnote client. It is functionally pretty complete and with your initially small database (you mentioned about 500 primarily text notes) should be fine for resource utilization.

Yep. Note that I recently switched to 4.1 branch of Virtual Box. The 4.0 stable version was missing functions I wanted and the 4.1 version is getting very close to stable.

After reading this forum post (I also would very much appreciate some kind of native math input support), I figured I'd write a utility in the spirit of the OP's suggestion that might make getting images of equations into Evernote as simple as possible. It's just an executable and a DLL. You can get it here. Let me know what you think!

Evernoted. Thanks.

My primary OS has been Ubuntu Linux for some time. I have looked at all the options available, specifically:

- Evernote Web Client

- Evernote Windows Client via Wine

- Evernote Windows Client via Windows Virtual Machine

- Nixnote(Nevernote) Linux client

My current configuration is:

- Evernote Web Client using primarily Chromium. 90% of my Evernote access is via the web client. It works very well for single note transactions. It is not so good for bulk/multi-note maintenance.

- Evernote Windows client via a Virtual Box Windows XP SP3 Virtual Machine. I use this for my Inbox processing and for other maintenance tasks. Fast and generally reliable. Other than paste problems have not found any VM specific bugs. Limitations are:

-- Pastes from Linux process can be corrupted.

-- Can not have a network watched folder (Windows client restriction), therefore, can not watch a Virtual Box Shared folder.

-- More complicated to set up first time. You have to create the Windows VM.

Performance and resource constraints make both the Wine and Nixnote options not viable for my use. I have a medium sized database (approx 7000 notes) and both options are just too slow for my regular use.
