Rense

I'm also running into export problems, when trying to export a notebook of ~6000 notes. It runs for a bit, and then throws an error saying "We found the following note that may be blocking the export. Please open the note and resolve any banners", with a reference to the specific note. When I delete that note and try again, it just comes up with a different problematic note. So far I haven't found any system to the notes that apparently create problems. Also, I have no clue what is meant by "banners" here. Win 10, Evernote 10.79.3.

I fear we're not going to agree on this, but I strongly disagree. I'm not a professional developer but it seems common sense to me to verify the intended outcome of a procedure, and to notify the user if it failed, especially with procedures like signing out and uninstalling, which create security risks when they fail. Note that Evenote told me it would delete my data, but then didn't, without telling me. Note furthermore that the potential "sync glitch causing a random error on my system" was also not a problem cause by something else my system but by Evernote itself. I've reported errors and bugs to Evernote Support many times but never got a satisfactory response, let alone within reasonable time (typically, this is a process of months).

Yes, that's also my hunch. Still it seems quite risky to me that an app claiming to sign you out does not actually do so, and without any error message or warning. Also, uninstalling should uninstall the app and the data (perhaps giving you the option to keep the data if you want); using Revo or other third-party apps should not be necessary.

I mentioned Windows 10 and that I updated to the latest version (currently 10.70.2). I'm a premium subscriber. Meanwhile, manually removing the folder with my data seems to resolve the issue. Not how it's supposed to work though.

Update: also if I sign out, quit, uninstall, restart windows, reinstall the latest version, and open Evernote, it still opens with me signed in as if nothing happened. Also, the sync issues persist (i.e., notes added in the web interface do not show up locally). Meanwhile, loading notes is painfully slow or fails completely, while creating new notes does also not seem to work at all. This is totally ruining my work day.

Perhaps I'm overlooking something silly, but this seems weird. As I'm experiencing sync issues with Evernote on Windows 10, I decided to try to sign out and sign back in to rebuild the local database. When I click "sign out..." it asks me whether to remove Evernote's data from my device, which I confirmed. Then it showed a popup warning about unsynced changes, on which I chose to "exit without syncing". Subsequently, EN shows a brief popup "please wait while we finish syncing" (!) and then quits. I can't reopen it until I choose "quit evernote" via the icon in the notification area. When I then restart EN, I'm still signed in. This persists even after I uninstall and reinstall Evernote (without ever signing in!). Not only does this seem like a security risk to me, it also prevents me from addressing my sync issues. Anyone recognize this?

Since today (just updated to 10.63.4) the search box is not finding my notes, both in the search box for moving tasks and in the general search box. When I type the title of a note that I know (and can see that) exists, I simply get "no notes found". It seems that something is broken? Is anyone else experiencing this? It's completely wrecking my workflow...

I also did not want to imply that any impropriety was implied 🙂 - just asking for clarification of what could be wrong with my installation. I just updated but that doesn't seem to help; I'll do a clean install when I find the time.

What do you mean by a "dodgy install"? I just installed EN in the regular fashion, didn't do anything dodgy....

I'm also noticing this sluggish behavior, using 10.61.10 on an otherwise very fast Windows 10 laptop. There seem to be lags with almost every action in the interface - scrolling, opening notes, menu items - even the "about" dialog initially takes a second to load (on the second try it was immediate). Personally I'd much rather have a fast and responsive interface with the existing feature set than additional features (AI) that I didn't ask for.

If you almost double the price from one period to the next I call that sudden, even if you announce it a few months before.

Well that's a little simplistic, I think. While I pay on a yearly basis, I can't afford to switch services on a yearly basis; the "transaction costs" of switching are simply too high. In that sense it's different from increasing the price of a cup of coffee, where I can just get up and move next door if I don't like the new price. Sudden price hikes like this (almost double!), combined with vague promises of new features (that I didn't ask for) are not helping consumers to make informed decisions.

Ha, thanks a lot, this works. I seem to remember that in the "old" Evernote there was a global shortcut for this. And a propos, Autohotkey is great but often it is a DIY fix for design flaws in other software....

Probably I'm overlooking something, but when I hit ALT-CTRL-F to search (EN for Windows), the default seems to be to search in the current notebook. If I want to search *all* my notes, I need to click "everywhere" first. Is there a way to do this without the mouse?

I did get a response after a few days, but it's just asking for more details so far.
