Thanks so much for that recco. I must have been unduly worried about doing these steps ie: choosing to delete my local data, deleting and reinstalling EN. However, I did all that and it worked and now the app is no longer misbehaving. The thing that confuses me is that even though I chose to delete all my data from this machine, after downloading EN I was able to see all of my data immediately. I always thought that if did this it would take many hours or days to reconstitute it all on the machine again. Nope, it was all back again instantly. I assume I have a profound misunderstanding of how this all works.

By “remove the offending notes” do you mean that I should permanently delete them in all of the various notebooks where they reside? The issue is that these same 40 notes keep appearing in the Inbox every time I open the app regardless of whether they’ve already been deleted. A copy of each of these can be found in various notebooks and they are all crucial notes. I can’t delete them but I could rename each of them or put them in another notebook.

Here's some more follow up: This problem actually occurs every time I quit EN (not just when I update). I tried deleting them in various way ie: individually, in batches but the problem persists. In short, when I delete notes from my inbox in EN desktop win, they pop back again whenever I try Quitting or Signing in. The same 40 or so notes keep coming back over and over. I've tried erasing the cache, shutting and re-starting the computer etc. In my final experiment I went to EN web and to EN IOS and tried deleting the notes from there. This worked but with a strange anomaly ie: every time I signed out and then back in to these versions I would see zombie notes coming into the Inbox, but after about 1 minute they would disappear and the Inbox would reflect the correct number of notes. As long as I delete notes from Web or IOS the system works and even EN desktop syncs to the correct number of notes. However, whenever I close and open EN desktop the zombies come rushing back in and a few minutes later rush into the web and ios version as well. This issue has rendered EN unusable for me. Tech support has not been helpful. Would love any advice on this. Also, not sure what "rebuild the database" means or if it would help. Does this mean that when I sign out I should choose "Remove my Evernote data from this device" ? P.S: In 12 years of Legacy I've never experienced issues like this.

In what sense? I did not rebuild my local data. I closed all instances of EN on all clients but that didn’t help. I then opened a ticket. I do not see any advice regarding “recording”. Not sure what this means. Do you mean backing up my enex data? Yes, I do that every few months.

Thanks for your help with that. I submitted a ticket on this when I first posted but did not hear back. I submitted another one today.

OK. So I've figured out where the duplications are coming from. It's not any of the things discussed above. I just did an update on EN (one of the usual ones that we seem to get every few days) and I suddenly noticed about 30 old notes suddenly pop up again in the inbox. These are notes that were tagged and filed elsewhere just the other day ( and several times already) and they have popped up again for the 4th or 5th time. I am now realizing that these notes are getting duplicated every time I do an update.

Thanks Pink. Now that I've closed EN on every device (except my desktop) I do not see this duplicative behavior over the last few days. I used to have EN open on phone, ipads, multiple computers etc. I assume that the duplication is related to this and can test that hypothesis later by becoming more lax with the clients I use.

Thanks Dave. I'm even wondering whether my ios EN widgets on my iphone are messing things up. I use it frequently to add things to EN or to search but it now strikes me that it is "open" all the time. I deleted it from my iphone and am now swiping off the EN on my iphone every time I finish doing something. Same on the ipads. Likewise, I tend to leave tabs of EN web open on my chrome browser eg: Inbox, Work etc. This has been very useful as I can get directly to my various notebooks directly by choosing one of my bookmarked tabs on Chrome; nonetheless, I will stop doing this and shut the tabs down the moment I"m done with them. Perhaps none of these steps will help but I will start monitoring the duplications and see if any of this works.

I'm wondering if this has something to do with the fact that I use EN on multiple platforms eg: iphone, ipad, EN web and ENv10 windows. I've been thinking of using some of these as "read only" mode ie: not actually doing anything on them other than searching for stuff. I will open a ticket with EN also. Thanks!

In fact, here's a screen shot that shows that I took care of the same document multiple times and it kept re-appearing in my inbox. This is really maddening and making EN v10 fairly unusable for me.

My general work flow is to go to my inbox and adjudicate each note there by giving it tags and then moving it into the appropriate notebook. Recently I've noticed my inbox appearing fuller than expected. I look through them and can almost swear that I have already dealt with these notes. So why are they still in the Inbox? For example, there is a tax notice sitting there that has no tags. When I check the notebook that I normally use for Tax stuff I see that I have already taken care of this particular note 3 times already. This means that the note keeps reappearing in my inbox and I keep re-tagging it and moving it to the Tax notebook where it is now sitting in multiple iterations. I have noticed this trend with many notes. Today I whittled my inbox down to 12 notes and then did a Quit Evernote. When I re-opened it I noticed that there were now 40 notes sitting in the Inbox and most of these are ones that just took care of minutes ago. Would love some help with dealing with this (never say anything like this with Legacy). P.S: I am using EN for desktop v10 on win 10, EN for IOS and EN web. The problem is the same with all of them.

I’ve been using EN to replace various other apps with the eventual goal of having 1 app that does it all. I’m almost there. I use it for notes, reminders and tasks, as an online storage of docs (like Gdrive), a Contacts manager, business applications, collaborating with my team etc. The calendar integration is not there yet but I’m hopeful it will get more robust.

Thanks, that's a great idea. I'll change the workflow so that I move all of the relevant notes into a newly created notebook and then export that as one entire notebook.

I used to export thousands of notes into one giant pdf with Legacy. With v10 I can only export 100 notes at a time. If I produce 8 enex files (800 notes) can I combine them into one large enex file and keep it archived in online storage? The idea would be to keep my EN trimmed by removing files that I don't immediately need and archiving them on Gdrive or dropbox. However, I would like a way to produce one enex file out of many eg: 2019 invoices, 2022 faxes.

That pretty much sums up all that it does. Pretty weak tea IMHO. In fact, so weak that I never use it. However, I’m hoping that eventually it gets thoroughly integrated to the point where I can jettison checking my gmail all day.

Sometimes I’ve found that EN users have discovered hacks or workarounds or 3rd party integrations that can be useful. Therefore, some of these posts are an invitation for these tips.

So I love the idea of being able to see my google calendar directly on EN and I took out the time to link them together. They are linked and it "works"...sort of. I still find that I rarely use it and am looking for ways to make it more useful. For example, when I look at the calendar on EN right now I see this: I don't want to seem ungrateful but all this tells me is that it is Nov 12th today and I have no activities scheduled for Nov 14. It does not tell me, however, that I have a lot of stuff occurring on Nov 15. Ideally speaking, I would like to look at my monthly view and see some indication right there as to what is coming up. Here is how it looks like on Google calendar: Even if there's no room to fit all of this it should at least have some system to indicate to me that Nov 15 has 3 activities (and the approximate times of those activities). Right now, looking at a blank calendar for the month is not that helpful. Also, even if I expand the widget on the customize view it still doesn't provide any actually useful information ie: it becomes a lot wider but no added functionalities. So, as of now EN Calendar is something that I may glance at if I happen to be on the Home page but I'm finding it next to useless. Have people found ways to make it more useful? Are there any tips or hacks that I can employ to actually make me want to give up my actual Google calendar and just use EN instead? Would love to see some convergence in this sector.

Yes, this works. Initally I didn't see it as a solution because the 3 dots were not visible at all unless I click in the image itself. However, this does solve the problem. Thanks!

I can confirm that no matter what the setting is it still shows a jpg file. I tried quitting and restarting etc. It's not a big deal since one can easily get around the issue by using the phone camera and sharing to EN. However, one significant annoyance is that I can not see the image on the mobile version of EN ie: double tapping on the jpg file does not open up the image (unlike the desktop version I can double click on the file which then opens up a separate page showing the image). Bottom line: will certainly not be using the little camera icon on EN mobile to snap pictures.

It was on Title. I changed it to "Preview" but it hasn't solved the problem. You can see the image in the center pane but not in the note body.

I was hoping that I could eventually use conversational search terms eg: "Find the notes referencing John Godotsky, not his brother Eric, and only from the last two months.. " This would be the holy grail for most of us who don't remember or want to remember complex search terms.

I'm using 10.65.3 on windows desktop. I have not found AI to be helpful there.

Federico. I'm a bit confused by what AI is doing. I conducted a search along the lines of "all notes regarding Godotsky" and it returned 96 notes. I then asked for "all notes regarding Godotsky but not containing the term John" and it returned 100 notes. I was hoping to use normal language to filter our search items ie: I have two Godotskys in my notes and only wanted notes on one of them. Clearly AI was not understanding what I wanted even though this is probably the simplest type of use case I could think of. Also, just noticed that it used "regarding" as a search term. So it was bringing up all results that had "regarding" in it. I thought that the whole point of these AI searches was that we could use conversational terms to conduct searches.

Dave, I took these pictures days ago and have since backed in and out, reloaded the program and even looked at it on different computers and with the EN for chrome. It looks the same no matter what I do.

I've reported on this before but am still having the problem. Here is a note with 4 snapshots that were taken on my iphone using EN (the camera icon). The snapshots appear in a note as jpg files. This is not particularly useful for me since the snapshots were on notes that were meant to jog my memory. The only way that I can view these files is to double click on them or to right click and choose "open".
