  1. Maybe try signing out of Evernote and logging back in again. Important: logging out is different from quitting. Do it from the account menu on your Windows client. Vinnie
  2. My inexpert understanding is that Evernote does the conversion from Legacy to the new format when you open the note for the first time in v10. It doesn't convert legacy notes until you need them. I'm not sure that the number of notes is a factor with note conversion. It could be a factor, though, if you have recently installed v10. In that case, Evernote and your local client are busy mirroring your database from the server to the client in whatever format, old or new, the notes exist in. So, if that download hasn't completed, all of that activity can be slowing things down when Evernote >also and simultaneously< needs to convert a legacy note to the new format when you open it for the first time in v10.

  3. Which one? I think it's important to use the app that @PinkElephant has recommended, if not in this thread, in numerous others. Other apps don't seem to give as reliable results in removing and reinstalling local databases. But the problem may also have something to do with collapsable bullets, so the best approach may be to wait a few days and see if an update becomes available to fix it. But, disclaimer - I'm not a mac guy, so I'm just passing along what I've seen in other threads. Vinnie
  4. You can turn off the option to display the / menu in the "three dot" menu in the upper left of the note window. You must have the latest version of the client installed. Vinnie
  5. Sorry I ran out of ideas! Good luck with your new workflows! Vinnie
  6. Sorry it didn't work. I can't help with MAC stuff since I've always been on Windows. I notice that way up in the thread, @PinkElephant mentioned that you might be on a version downloaded from the Apple store. Did you ever try a version downloaded directly from the Evernote website? That's the last thought I have... Vinnie
  7. Congrats on finding a solution that works for you! (And thank you for not trying to burn the barn down on your way out! 😁) Vinnie
  8. Thank you for the gracious note. I understand the frustration of needing to actually get things done and then not having tools work the way you think they should. Not just software, BTW -- nothing like having parts of my motorcycle scattered in pieces on the garage floor and then my ratchet gives up the ghost! I save scans to my import folder regularly without issue. My setup is different, but here's how it works for me. I use the scanner on an HP all-in-one printer. I do not use the HP software. Instead, I use NAPS2, which is a free, open source scanning tool available for Windows and Mac. Like what you describe, I scan and the program builds a file. I click on the "save as pdf" option, and direct it to my Evernote import folder. A few seconds later, the file is in a new note in Evernote. No duplicates. The one time I had duplication was when I had my laptop open with Evernote running and my desktop open with Evernote running too. Then I got a duplicate. I think the issue is that Microsoft Onedrive saw the file show up in my Desktop Evernote import folder, and then mirrored it to the Evernote import folder on my laptop a second later. Evernote saw what looked like a new file show up in my laptop import folder, and dutifully put that file in a new Evernote note as well. A second later, with real time sync running, I had a duplicate note. I guess, at the end of all of this, my suggestion is to look at NAPS2 and see if that will meet your needs and work around your problem. Vinnie
  9. I'm pretty sure it's Mac, too, @richot, but I'm not a mac person. If you check back in a bit, I'm sure one of the Mac experts will be by to explain what's happening. And it could be that I've got it wrong and it's the next version, not the current one that will have the change - I'm on my laptop which is a version behind. But I'm pretty sure in my cobwebby brain that I saw something about the option being added. Sorry for sending you down a rathole. Vinnie Edit: okay, I found the reference. This is an excerpt from Jon Tromans' newsletter: "If the “Press "/" to insert an element” as been irritating you when using the slash commands, there’s a toggle in the 3 dots menu of the note editor to switch it off." Vinnie
  10. Update to the latest version by going to the evernote website and downloading from there, and you can turn it off. Vinnie
  11. If your time is not very valuable, you could use export to clear those notebooks, reduce to one and import the notes back. There are lots of very detailed posts in other threads that describe how to do this. Search is your friend. On the other hand, if your time is valuable, you could subscribe for a month, consolidate your notes into one notebook, and then unsubscribe. Vinnie
  12. I used the ignore function twice so far today... and it's only 10 am where I am! That means I have a feed where I see posts from folks who actually come to ask for help and others help them -- no complainers! Vinnie
  13. @Shadowfoot, I do a variation of what @Dave Greensuggested. I created a meeting notes template. My SOP is open the template, duplicate it and change the "template" title to describe the meeting, and add a calendar object at the bottom of meeting note form. That way I can quickly find meeting notes by going to the candear and clicking the link. Vinnie
  14. @Backinmotionvet, Duh, I should have realized from your username that your patients weren't people! I can't explain why you can't make a new note. But it struck me that the conversion from Legacy could be a problem. One workaround I've seen others use in different circumstances is to make a few empty placeholder notes at home base where you have good Internet, let them sync to your portable device, then maybe you will be able to open and enter info into that precreated note in the field. It's good you filed for a support ticket; you may need them to help resolve this. Vinnie
  15. Sure, I didn't mean to suggest that the OTC strategy is a replacement. Could be a helpful alternative for now, though. Vinnie
