This workaround used to work for me, but no longer. Now, in version 10.78.2 for Mac, even if I have multiSelectionLimit set to 500 in my config.json file, when I try to select more than 100 notes, I get an error message: "You cannot select more than 100 notes." Since my workflow requires me to occasionally go over large sets of notes and retag them, this, along with the impending termination of Legacy, may be the constraint that finally forces me off of Evernote.

I routinely select several hundred notes at a time in Legacy. Example: I download several hundred documents and import them to Evernote and want to give them all a particular tag. Example: I recognize a feature in my existing notes that deserves tagging, so that I can more easily locate those notes in the future. I find several hundred notes that share this feature through a combination of searching on tags, searching on text, and manual winnowing. Then I select those several hundred notes and tag them. Doing this tagging just 50 notes at a time would be excruciatingly slow. Thank you @PinkElephant for the hack that has allowed me to raise the selection limit to 1000 notes. This was one of the key legacy features that was preventing me from moving off of Legacy. I will now try v10 again.

It's now two years later. How much longer might we be waiting for this legacy feature to reappear?

Does anyone have an idea if they plan to lift the limit on the number of notes selected? With Legacy on MacOS, I have no problem selecting 15,000 notes and tagging all of them at once. With 10.11.5, I get an alert that I can only select 50 notes maximum.

Thank you kindly, @PinkElephant!

Would you be so kind as to point to a location where the terminated features are listed?

Ah, this discussion has brought back such nostalgic memories for me! Here is what I wrote to Evernote in 2012: With a follow-up in 2013: So, while, in 2021, I prefer to use the Legacy version 7 for Mac rather than the latest version 10, what I really really want is a Legacy version 4, which, IMHO, was before all the bad design decisions started being made.

Thank you, @gazumped! This is a huge help! I was trying to tag several hundred notes, and the restriction of doing that just 50 notes at a time was excruciating. Also, I was trying to rename notes, and it was taking over a second for each new name to appear. And finally, the renaming was based on looking at the PDF, and each PDF was slow to show up. I've now moved back to the Legacy version on Mac, and these aggravations have disappeared.
