Hi. As mentioned above, if you step back from the current limited-feature web Beta to the previous UI (in Settings) you will be able to view encrypted files again. Can't comment on an intermittent Android issue - maybe try Twitter @EvernoteHelps ?

Suddenly I feel very depressed 😏 I've had sudden shutdowns too - not often, but I'm very occasionally aware that Evernote isn't 'there' any more for no reason that I could fathom. That in itself is worth a Support ticket - it would be nice to stop that happening! Plus yes, after that happens I'll as often as not have to kill the running Evernote processes before I can start a new instance, and the first sign I get of a successful restart is the Fatal Error window. Complete and send that, and the app will come back without a problem. You're on your own with a BIOS downgrade - that's well outside my comfort zone; but if you do go ahead, please let us know how you went about it, and whether there's a good outcome! Final suggestions - I have flirted with a second Basic account (running alongside my main account on desktop) so I can create new notes more quickly and then copy (drag/ drop) the day's note activity into the Premium account whenever I take a break. That at least avoids freezes on new notes; and when working on a particular project I can move those notes from Premium to Basic (depending on the content) and then edit in some peace. Only drawback: remembering to copy the notes across and then delete the originals to avoid duplicates. Don't know whether it's been mentioned in this thread yet - is the good old "sync on demand" option. It is possible to set Evernote to 'purge' (that's the slightly ominous term they use) "rarely viewed content" - any notes that haven't been accessed for X days - from the local database. Notes are NOT removed from the server, and are still available on demand, but - like the mobile experience - the content has to be downloaded when you want to see the full note, so there will be a longer wait time. That's Tools > Options > Synchronization and tick 'show advanced options' to see the.. options. I tried this out when setting up a new laptop, and my huge 20+GB database shrank to a few MB. I want to keep regular local backups though, and if the database isn't stored on my device, there's nowhere to source the full content. The only way I found to get out of that situation quickly was to recreate my local database from the server, which took a couple of hours. I don't recall any freezes while using it though. PS @jefito, I gave up worrying about himem.sys with Windows 98! or do you have a secret hack for Windows 10? 😄 ... and I might have had about 10 tabs open - I get distracted easily.

@Ralph77 - if you have Task Manager open, check the Processes tab and click on the Disk heading to sort activity from most to least. Watch what happens to Evernote when it hangs. In my experience now, I can add a new note, and then go to attach a file and find that Evernote just jumped to the top of the ranking with a much higher disk access score than anything else. Creating a test note got me an 8-second freeze whilst (presumably) Evernote updated the database and index(es); deleting it afterward got me another similar freeze with activity up to 12.7% - presumably as the system deleted the data I just created. I added some more Readtboost memory to my system recently with 30GB of USB3 stick, and that has helped. (My Dell already has the max onboard memory it can support at 8GB.) Currently still looking at an SSD, a custom-build desktop or a high(er)-end laptop for more resources!

I've started to work on this feature - - and while the basics are easy(ish) to set up, I need to get my head around some hierarchies. My vision was to have a 'grandparent' note that would list parent notes for projects / to-dos / contacts etc, that would list their own child notes for individual tasks and actions. Working towards that means a lot of tagging, and/ or testing of reliable searches for specific keywords - something I wish I'd done before having 45k notes to work with! Still, my note 'entropy' is actually declining into a somewhat better order as a result. I think...

Hi. We're (mostly) not Evernote - just other users with the same issue. Evernote don't generally respond to input here - it's a free forum for user-to-user discussion.

Hi. Mainly I think because many of the features of Scannable were added to the main Evernote app, and someone, somewhere, decided it wasn't cost effective to convert the iOS code to Android to mirror what already existed. If you go to the top of this page there's a counter for users to register their support for the suggestion - that so far still stands at 0.

Hi. Nothing that I'm aware of, and I have an Android tablet that can't edit tables either. AFAIK it's a desktop-only option - Mac/ Windows/ Web

It occurred to me a couple of weeks ago, that Evernote companion app Filterize nicely fills this gap in Evernote's architecture - it's possible to create multiple self-updating Tables of Contents for a client, a customer, a product or any general class of note that you may have. Put general notes in one notebook, and a set of ToC notes in another, and you can browse through your ToC "drawer" to find all your current clients listed in one note - even if you added one 5 minutes ago. Click on that client's link in the ToC to see a note listing your entire contact history and all the current projects you have in hand and quoted for. It's a set of virtual folders as individual ToC notes. Filterize also answers any problems with saved searches and favorites - your ToC notes are searches that are running constantly; so 'next tasks' and open to-do items are also ToC notes. Still getting around to setting this up for myself, but it should work...

Hi. This is a Mac thread. Please post in the Android forum.

Hmmn. This is a (mainly) user supported website, so AFAIK we don't have any technical information to share. Evernote is more likely to respond to a support request through the usual channels by a subscriber, or via Twitter from Basic users. There's some basic information here -

Hi. I said here before that fixing a technical issue is 95% about finding it, and 5% or less about fixing. But until you have enough information to find it, it's impossible to suggest when it might be fixed. Best suggestion for all parties - raise a support ticket, or tweet @EvernoteHelps; whatever you contribute, you'll be adding more technical information to the general pool of knowledge and helping resolve the problem.

Hi. If you are adding a 'scan' with the document camera on manual, tap the thumbnail image immediately after taking the shot(s) to get a choice of saving the image(s) as photo / document / color document / post-it / business card. The icon at the top right of the screen selects between 'auto' when the camera detects the boundaries and 'manual' when you have more control over framing. In both cases you have the same choices if you tap the thumbnail. Where image boundaries are being detected badly, the best option (IMHO) is to choose a manual shot and save as a picture, when you can edit it later in the note to correct the boundaries. If you save as a document, you can "annotate" the document within the note to crop it. In both cases it's a straight-lines crop - squares or rectangles only, no distortion corrective angles. Adobe Scan and MS Office Lens do autocorrect for distortions and both seem (again, MHO) to have better border and format recognition. YMMV.

These forums are for feature requests - Evernote isn't obliged to deliver on any of them, and may well have other work planned (or other, better supported requests) which have to be completed before a given request is considered. This particular suggestion has 11 votes - some current requests have over 100. And the CEO has just gone public with a statement that existing bugs and inconsistencies are being prioritised over new features - which may mean development being shelved for a year. Although, this feature already exists on mobile devices so maybe they'll bring desktops in line...

Hi. I don't move tables between devices, so I'm not aware of what Evernote does to the formatting. Would it be practical to attach the table to your note as a separate file? You'd be able to open it in Word or Excel directly on other devices (with those apps installed there) and re-save it to the note.

Hi. I assume 'create a space' is specific to Business or Macs - I've never seen it. We're a -mainly- user supported forum so no access to Support, but you should be able to submit a ticket without logging in - there's a 'guest' option; also a Twitter account is available. I'll flag this post to see whether an Admin can help... Edit: sorry - slow on the uptake here "Spaces" are a Business feature. (Doh!)

There's also an on-screen keyboard in Win 10, with its own emoji key.

Hi. Try a 2-column table, with the image in one column and your comments in the other. The image side can be made as small as necessary. The thumbnail will still work and the notes will not be overwhelmed by a large image. It's also possible to select an image and change its size with the 'handle' in the bottom right corner. If you have a complicated setup with tables, you could consider creating a 'template' note with that layout to copy and use as necessary.

Hi. Have you tried the simple stuff like signing out of Evernote and back in? If that fails, go to the Shared With Me listing and right-click, delete.

Hi. I'd guess that's an impossible question for Evernote to answer given that it seems to affect different hardware, operating systems and browsers. This is not happening for me. If everyone suffering from it submits a support request by whatever channel is available the company can 1) collect useful data on where and how this happens and 2) get some idea of how many users are affected. Subscribers please start here, and Basic users here

Hi. As was already posted, some web pages are fussy about what they allow on their page - I can imagine a Bank would be unhappy about a third-party application like Evernote leaning in to steal a customer's information. I always save the PDF files my statements come in to my system, and then attach them to my notes. Clipper isn't always effective on web pages - just most of the time.

Hi. Bookmarks have been requested, but at the moment are not available. There is a way to create a Table of Contents listing multiple notes, and my detailed notes are usually comprised of individual sections - one per note - connected by tags. titles, or ToCs. Shorter notes are preferable because they're quicker to load (especially on mobile devices) and it's easier to jump to the correct section of a longer note if it's just a question of opening the required paragraph(s) in one note.

That's also a 5-month old post... 10 days after -

Yes, sorry - my intention was for you to copy and paste the content rather than move it within the forum - we can all move topics, but not individual posts. I see @DTLow already mentioned this feature nearly a year ago - and the implications flew straight over my head. Sorry to both! No reason to do more than you already have by posting in that thread.

Hi. If you check the Copy options (literally!) you can keep the created and updated dates if you wish, and choose whether or not to keep tags. Duplicate simply and immediately does exactly what it says on the can. I tend to use whichever seems appropriate. If you're creating Templates, don't forget it is possible to export a note to ENEX and double-click on that note to create a new copy with the same title, tags and content. The way to get around the lack of titles in Evernote's templates is to put the title in the first line and - if there's no other content - a few blank lines. When you create the template copy, edit the first line if necessary, or just type content and Evernote should populate the first line into the title immediately.

Hi. I was aware of Filterize, but not that you could create dashboards / TOCs in this way. At first glance it looks potentially very valuable - I propose to play! (When I can find some time to do it...) If I may suggest - I think it would be worth you moving this post to the 'Integrations' part of the forum, since it looks like this would be generally useful for a lot of the requests that are coming in for additional functionality within Evernote. It certainly means that a bespoke workflow is much easier to set up... Thanks for the headsup - I look forward to getting into this in more depth... 😎 EDIT: I'll do some research into this too, but it looks like it should be possible to share a dashboard with other users, who could use the links there to navigate around a set of shared pages which they might otherwise find difficult without knowing the framework that the owner of the notes has applied. My ideal project would be to create a sort of activated 'site map' for a group of shared pages that automatically updates as new pages are added... Hmmn.... 🤔
