  1. Just as an aside - I think I found a work-around for this that works with version 10 (but I am sticking with V6 legacy in spite of having a fix). This will only work if Evernote 10 is not running or in the system tray Copy the Evernote folder from c:\users\username\appdata\roaming\ to somewhere that you want on another drive eg - G:\data\EvernoteV10\ - once you are sure it has copied delete the evernote folder under roaming run a command prompt as "administrator" cd to c:\users\username\appdata\roaming\ enter mklink /j evernote G:\data\EvernoteV10 (or whatever path\name you have used - if your path has spaces in it use quotes "G:\data\Evernote V10" That creates a dynamic junction from roaming folder to the data folder on new drive, but in testing it seems that Evernote will think that it's files are exactly where it left them and seems happy to follow the dynamic link without needing the actual files to be on the C drive. It worked for me anyway, so I hope it works for others. But what I also discovered in this is that the local database isn't the database, it's seems to be just a few notes that have been downloaded to work on. There no longer seems to be a local copy of the full database on the local PC - it's all 'in the cloud', so inaccessible to me when my network is busy. Because of that I will be sticking with V6 legacy until my current annual subscription expires in 6 months, then probably going over to Notejoy. I discovered that Notejoy also insists on saving its data in the %appdata%\roaming\ folder on C - but it is also happy to work with a dynamic link so I can actually put all the files somewhere else. And it seem that like Evernote V6, it is a full copy of the database on the PC, so offline work is not a problem. I just hope all this is still the case in September when I need to make the change over.
  2. I just want to support this. I've just put Evernote onto my new PC, but I have installed 6.25 Legacy as I need the database to NOT be on the C drive. Oddly, when Evernote upgraded to version 10 on my old PC it never complained or objected that the database is on the G drive. But on the new PC the option to pick where the database is to reside it not open to me (or wasn't until I uninstalled Version 10 and installed version 6). For me, this is a good example of the 'upgrade' to version 10 being a 'downgrade' in usefulness.
