For the last couple of weeks, I had a new bug on my two Android devices (S6 tablet, Note 20 phone). Let's say I did not touch Evernote for a couple of hours. If I use the Evernote clipper ("sharing" feature) on any web page, a red window will briefly appears (but i won't have time to read the message on this red screen). And then i will be back on the page I was trying to clip. Nothing happened. Each and every time, I will have to switch to Evernote, close it and re-open it. Then go back to the page i was trying to share. Then I will be able to share it with Evernote. Not a catastrophe, just weird and time consuming.

So, just to be sure. I close Evernote. I move the Evernote folder to my desired location. I drop a symbolic link to this new Evernote location in the former location. I reopen Evernote. All the notes are there. Sounds right?

Sorry to bother but in urgent need of some space. When creating a symlink, should it be for the whole "Evernote" folder, the "Database" folder, or a specific file?

Exactly. This is weird but I guess the option will be available soon. Right?

Hi all... Well, I have a personal account since... forever. Over 45 000 notes, on a Windows client (quite good) and a couple of Android clients (not very good). I am considering the switch to a pro account. Why? Bolean searches... My search results are ridiculously long and very often completely useless. I need bolean. But do they work well? Do they work fast?

This does not seem to be an option.

Yes, well 43 000 notes but this... Symbolic links? How does it work?

Hi. Using Evernote 10.53.2 on Windows 10. I just realized that my Evernote database is taking 70 000 000 KB on my SSD disk, by far the hungriest folder. Is there any way to move it from C to another drive letter?

It is a bit weird and I want to understand how come it works that way. I like before the beginning of the workday, to manage my previous day notes: move them to the appropriate notebook, title them in a better way, tag them. Soft work that I do on my Android client (Samsung S6 tablet). Changing a title is really fascinating. You type the new title, then you have to look at Evernote working on a pace that reminds 1993. The preivous title reappear, then slowly it changes, one character at a time, in slow motion. And if you dare change something else in the note while this very slow process occurs, you may end up with 5, 6 copies of the note, each one a step towards the final version. What is this? What is my client doing actually? Can I help the process because it looks painful!

Yes, sorry, the specifics of my case: Galaxy S6, so not the latest, but not old. 5.1 inches, diagonal (almost 13 cm). From my pov, this is just a poor design choice. Nice to look at, not functional. The same way we can expand a note to fill the screen, we should be able to do the same for a note list. After all, tags lists and notebooks lists fill the screen. It is just the specific moment when we choose a notebook (or the notes panel) that we are stuck with a 3-panel view.

Not what I prefer, and not very useful, because then you will see only 2 or 3 notes at the same time. A lot of scrolling.

I put on a request about this. I am not very hopeful but you never know.

I tnink the three pane window we get when we display a notebook is not very helpful. We would need the capacity to enlarge the middle pane (the notes list) to the full width. We just do not see enough of the notes' titles to scroll efficiently through notes and find the one we want to access.

This is unfortunate I think. A faulty design, despite being nice to look at. Easier to scroll through notes on my phone than my tablet.

A tablet, Samsung S6. https://www.evernote.com/shard/s97/sh/3b16ced8-d94b-41c1-b655-9756573ba5ef/4i11am2mkj9gx5a688SOqAZN-fq7horRA1kkkvkKimk84hX0eCFrQFmaow As you can see, the three pane presentation make it very difficult to browse through a notebook and find a specific note. You just don't see enough of the notes' titles.

So this 2nd image of yours represent your full screen? This is exactly what I am looking for! Note list, full width. How come I can't have this layout on my Android device? What option/icon am I missing?

Evernote 10.47 (1128774). Is there a different version out there in Android? I'd be veryt interested because this one is very buggy! The Windows version has turned out quite well. Android? Not so much.

Well it is a screenshot of my Android app.

Maybe it is me missing something obvious... But how come I cannot view the note list (column 1) in full width here? Because this dual pane is really not helpful most of the times.

So even on iOS... Too bad, OneNote is not bad at all for this. And Samsung Notes is pretty great. Sometimes, it looks better not to offer a function than to offer a very bad one.

OK. Somebody uses it? I mean, taking notes on the fly with a stylus is great, annotate maps and plans also.

Is it me, or are the annotation and drawing tools pretty bad on Android? It crashes, the zoom-in feature is out-of-control. Trying to take notes on it is just a bad experience. So bad that I use Samsung Notes to write, than import the "image" in Evernote. Do you use it?

Hi. What has been wrong with the tag filters lately? I choose a tag, Evernote tell me I have (let's say) 3 notes as a result but a whole bunch of unrelated notes still appear in the left pane.

I just wanted to check if other people share the problems I have with my Android clients. Maybe I just need to reinstall Evernote. Or maybe Android Evernote is still buggy. The Windows client is so improved that I am always a little surprised (and bummed) when I go back to my Android devices. Please note I have 40 380 notes and 534 notebooks. My problems: - changing the sort order of a notebook will freeze the app... or it will take 2, 3 full minutes. - when I want to share something to Evernote, it won't work at all the 1st time. Evernote comes to the forefront, and that's it. I have to go back and share again, then it works. I use Chrome. - The same "note creation" may happen the next 5 or 6 times I open Evernote. Evernote just creates the same note over and over again. Generally speaking, the app is slow. I have a Samsung Note 20 and a Tab S6. Both behave the same way.

I thought so but... It is not working.
