I seem to recall that a few days before that recent upgrade, Evernote had told me that it was a beta release - perhaps wrt/ some specific components, I don't recall details. Anyway, the problem has been overcome, it was just that really long time that the upgrade had me waiting that made me think something had gone astray.

Windows: Version 22H2 (Build 22621.1702) Evernote: when I created this note, Evernote wasn't responding to anything. Since then, it has recovered; now, it reports: 10.56.9-win—ddl-public (4080) Editor: V 168.1.20898 Service: V 1.68.4

After today's update, I'm sitting looking at the elephant with the green circle revolving around it ... at least 5 minutes now, no indications of a possible end to this. I'd recently noticed that my current version is a beta one; how can I convert back to standard? (assuming the above is related to the beta version only ...)

Looks like there's not just a very noticable delay upon a new install. I'd added a few PDF documents earlier today; partly via the Windows version, partly via an Android device. My smartphone still doesn't list these notes. However, when I search for them, I can find them; still, PDF documents contained in these notes can't be opened (showing an error message like "failed to open ..."). Or, the rotating clock thing just keeps on going around and around. Right now, 9 out of 10 notes created during the last 25-60 minutes are still not showing up on Android. The one that's visible has a jpg attachments, all others have PDF attachments. Is that perhaps an indication towards a possible root cause? What's also confusing me: when I look at the list of notes, the counter in brackets keeps changing even though no actions are taken. I'm thinking my notes are being eaten up ... Oh, wait, all of a sudden (ha!), the missing notes are there, previews of the PDF attachments are visible, and the attachments can be opened just fine ... What's causing that - any way to force a quicker time to update?

Forgot to mention: with these few error cases, the notes were created, but without the attachments. So, that simple EN/explorer side by side comparison won't help.

Thanks very much for your suggestions! This is what I am using right now, in a bash window: for i in $(seq 1 200) do ls | head -10 | xargs -d '\n' mv -t ScanImportFolder sleep 60 done Seems to work fine, just takes a good while. Initially, I seem to to have gone about it a little too fast (sleep count too low), ending up losing a few notes (thanks for that hint, @PinkElephant). A message popup said s/t like "an attachment could not be loaded", but it disappeared too quickly for me to be able to understand which note it was referring to. Is there any way of finding out which notes were impacted? At first glance, the logfile seemed a bit hard to read.

I happen to have come across several hundreds of well aged scans that I'd like to feed to Evernote: one note per file, deriving note title and tags from the file names. ENscript not being available, is there another way to achieve s/t along those lines? I'd found an article (https://dev.evernote.com/doc/articles/enscript.php) indicating that creating a note from a file should be possible, but as it failed at the my attempt, I'm thinking this might be outdated.

Ok, same version FROM EN. Me user sees two versions.

Thanks very much for your detailed reply with instructions, @agsteele. I hadn't been aware of the two versions, and the differences between these. I went ahead and tried to set up that send to link in the "sendto" folder - no luck though, it seems the MS store version doesn't want to play that way. So now I've changed over to the version available directly from Evernote. "Send to" works as expected. What a strange idea, to have two versions around that are just slightly different ...

On my by now old Windows 10 notebook, that "send to" explorer function was there. Now that I've migrated to Win 11, there's no such function/link; the installation didn't create it. So I was wondering how to go about that and then noticed that the executable's folder location can no longer be relied upon - it seems, at least to me. @agsteele, did you create that link to the current location of the executable? On my system, that would be: C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Evernote.Evernote_10.47.7.0_x64__q4d96b2w5wcc2\app and that does look version dependent to me.

Now that the Evernote executable is placed in a version dependent folder, is the old "send to Evernote" shortcut on Windows no longer possible? Also, my scanner (Canon) can pass documents to an executable. (How) Can I get that to work again? (lots of surprises, after setting up my new PC, including migrating from Win 10 to 11)

My impression as well. I'm putting my considerations towards moving away to the back burner, for now.

Tried the Notion import from Evernote right now with the modified config.json file (limit 500), and it did not make a difference. I'm still only seeing 50 notes pulled into Notion.

Looks like on Windows 10, the file name is: "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Evernote\config.json" I'll try this out (probably tomorrow) & will report back. Thanks very much, PinkElephant!

How to ... please?

For the Notion import, I selected one single notebook. The result was, just 50 notes.

That function has failed for me, miserably. It would grab a limited set of notes (50, IIRC) and give up after that. Every time I tried. Please let us know in case you should get better results.

I haven't seen a response to this question yet: is this feature just coming a little later, or completely anabdoned? If this feature has been abandoned: why did Evernote marketing decide so? Just a few folks using it? Not really possible any longer in more recent versions of Outlook? Good enough alternatives available? ...?

I'm afraid you're quite likely correct with this. It seems that the vision of a single code base and consistent user experience across platforms might have been too strong, and the high cost in terms of lost performance wasn't clear enough for quite a long time. And I agree that there's most likely no return path, from a software architecture perspective. I'm still hoping that not all is lost. I've noticed that my initial impression changed after a few days; it appears like there might have been something like an initial "conversion period" during which performance was more impacted than it is now, a few days later. Bug fixes have made the Android version usable again, though still not performant enough. On Windows, while I'm not impressed with the performance I'm seeing, the application is still good enough for me to continue using it for another while. So I'm sitting on a fence ... trying to make up my mind.

So it seems a good number of long-time paying EN users are currently unsatisfied with V10. Me included. During the update, two months worth of data appeared to have disappeared ... spent like three hours on this, finally got the data back. Tried a few simple operations, and well, performance is such that I'm now in the market for alternatives. While I'll be investigating where to move my ~8 years worth of personal data to (paperless home, stupid me trusted in EN to keep my data safe), let me ask: Is it safe to log out of and delete EN10, then re-install the most recent 6. something Windows version? With my personal data still there? Do I need to be concerned about e.g. the Android client while reverting back on Windows?
