Evernote should not remove the icon, but offer their paying customers the option to decide for themselves whether they want this or find it annoying. And that would solve the problem.

Using third-party solutions like Bartender is of course an option, but then it's more of a stopgap.

Can an update for this annoying circumstance be expected from Evernote at some point or will the problem simply be forgotten?

It is perfectly legitimate for this icon to exist. What's not okay is that you can't optionally turn it off. There are obviously many users who are bothered by this.

I don't like that either, and will factor it into my next decision on whether to renew my premium subscription.

Hello,

I just tried to install the update to 10.19.2 from an installed Evernote 10.18.3 version which does not work. The update installation aborted and now neither the old Evernote version can be uninstalled via Windows nor the new version can be installed.

What can I do, I need the program to work urgently.

This is fine for the users who want to use it. For a lot of users, including me, the unnecessary Evernote icon in the bar is just annoying. It would be desirable that you can disable this in the settings under macOS. 

In other words, it is an indictment of Evernote that such a basic feature is still not available.

It would be really nice if Evernote would natively implement a way to hide the unnecessary icon here.

Can only agree with the criticism, please definitely integrate an option in Evernote to be able to hide the annoying and completely superfluous Evernote icon in the top right of the menu bar.

How is this supposed to work, i.e. how can I create a 100% offline backup of my Evernote notes?

I also hope that the developers will take countermeasures very quickly and correct this deficiency.

It is extremely insensitive if signals are now sent out that the backup options are to be "economized". The security of the content in terms of long-term accessibility is essential for a product like Evernote! If the confidence of the users is shaken in not being able to save their knowledge stored in Evernote locally in the future, this could break Evernote's neck!

I definitely agree with that.

I would also like to know, how can I export my notebooks as a local backup for security purposes, as was also possible with earlier versions of Evernote?

In my opinion this is a basic function, from a security point of view a pure cloud solution without a backup option is completely forbidden for serious use.

Just the fact that the very common and massively advertised Ctrl + Q search shortcut has been changed destroys so much productivity that the other improvements cannot compensate for it.

Honestly, the developer who came up with this very stupid idea should rather do other tasks.

It's a new Windows "feature"   
To resolve a problem importing large .enex files, Evernote is creating segments

Thanks, then it is "normal" and I leave the settings as they are.

I assume that it does not make sense to change this default value from "1157 MB" to 0 MB, correct?

Hello,

i have a short question about the backup function, when i want to create a backup in form of an enex file via "Export notes...".

Up to now, the backup always created an enex file which grew slowly (logical) and had a size of 880 MB.
But during my last backup two enex files were created, one named "Evernote.enex" and 856 MB size and one named "Evernote [2].enex" and 116 MB size.

Is this normal, i.e. does the program create several files for backup, but with a certain total size of the Evernote notebook, or did something go wrong?
