  1. NOW I'm scared I just hope there'll be 'no any fancy syntax highlighting' option. And I hope EN won't try to automagically assign syntax to existing code-blocks. But that' exacly what will (most probably) happen, just like with "->" conversion.
  2. Oh common, BS has broken 'code block' -- it wasn't a code block BTW, just a block of text with monospace font, it's usually called "preformatted". (And yes, you coulld apply bold/italic/color over text in 'codeblock' because it's just a text with monospaced font) And now that 'code block' is really broken (I've put ticket about blank lines in codeblock several days ago).
  3. The best you can do -- file a support ticket and hope it'll be fixed. I've reported bug in code block formatting (emtpy lines not displayed as full-height empty lines) and still wating for something more that auto-reply. TBH I don't expect v10 to became any more usable in those several months (while I have some EN subscription left). I've had enough - BS didn't manage to replicate basic EN functionality in several years, so I'm just packing my things (evernote-backup) and moving to Obsidian (where I can keep markdown-formatting at least).
  4. evernote-backup (it's a command-line tool) By default, it exports each notebook into separate ENEX-file. There is undocumented option to export each note into separate ENEX-file (but it has issues with notes that have very long titles with special characters etc.).
  5. v.10 can't even export one notebok without errors (if that notebook has 200+ notes) Better option for backup would be evernote-backup tool, especially for those who has 50+ Gb of data and large notebooks with lots of notes.
  6. They -- BS -- don't seem to care (about your anger or disappointment). Judging from EN v10 updates (and I'm tried to use it from the very beginning, when they sneakily tried to 'upgrade' ), dev team just doing whatever fancy fluff they want instead of fixing year-long bugs. And even that fancy fluff typically doesn't work. Just look at '/' command or '->' madness. Bottom line -- I'd rather not hope for BS fixing/improving EN v10. Pick your alternative (Joplin, Notion, Obsidian), convert your notes (evernote-backup, yarle, Joplin) and move on -- this is probably best you can do about current EN situation.
  7. Obsidian is quite different from Evernote. You can try Joplin - kinda similar to Evernote experience, and exporting/importing notes via ENEX worked pretty good for my. (but don't try exporting via EN itself, use evernote-backup tool -- it's much more reliable and faster)
  8. I have ~60Gb evernote db (account info says I've premium subscription since 2009). Most of it transferrable via ENEX export/import, some stuff to be converted to markdown (and that's for better). v10 is not 'bearable enough' for me. Don't want to spent my energy trying to plead to fix bugs and implement missing features (which had to be done years ago). I'd rather spend my energy to make Obsidian perfect for me. And spend evernote-subscription money on new SSD
  9. Funny enough, but all this mess with retiring 'legacy' version has finally forced me to look at Obsidian seriously, which I did this weekend. Obsidian is quite different from EN, but it's much MUCH better suited for my needs. Some people don't like markdown formatting, but for me it's the best (I love writing tech docs in Typora). Whole Obsidian UI/experience is highly customizable (and since I'm a devloper, I can add/tweak pretty much anything I want/need). And I don't even need paid cloud-shmoud to sync my data across devices -- I already have server with Resilio Sync running for other purposes (yes, that works only for win/mac, but I don't need mobile version, to be honest). So, tomorrow is "abandon ship!" day. EN v10 is definitely not worth 100+ bucks a year and endless struggling simplest things. I don't even care about money that left for ~6 months of premium subscription.
  10. Yeah, and pay MORE money for buggy mess instead of working software - great business plan I'll try to push some issues via tickets while my premium subscription lasts, then just move on to Joplin. v10 is slow, buggy, unreliable mess, considering it's in development for years -- they still somehow failed to replicate basic fuctionality of original Evernote. Insteal, lots of (slow and buggy) bells and whistles were added. Damn, you can't even customize note-editing toolbar (to remove unneeded cr@p and add buttons you actully need all the time) -- MS Office allowed that 20 YEARS AGO. I remember the same ***** happened to Skype -- MS forced "new" app and "suddenly" everyone and his dog stopped using Skype. (because it was slow, buggy unreliable mess based on some fancy web-stuff, uniformly ugly on all platforms)
  11. And another observation about sync : when I open note with PDF attachment, EN doesn't even try to download that PDF until I scroll down (when it's visible). That delayed, sync-on-demand is just maddening...
  12. Yeah, I can live with that - still better than entering name manually.
  13. Yes, I've mis-clicked topic - it's about Windows client. Dragging file on notebook (note list) seems working. Newly created note is not selected though.
  14. That's strange -- my v10 local cache is roughly the same size as evernote-backup db (~60Gb). Looks like v10 doesn't download/cache notes for some reason. And this is why we need explicit "Sync" / "Make Available All Offline" button.
  15. OK, after weeks of experimentation with v10 : EN v10 randomly fails to export notebooks. Maybe it's because of interoperation with 'legacy' client. Anyway, it feels weird and unreliable. The only way to make sure all notes are accessible offline is to use evernote-backup to sync/backup data regularly. I'm not even sure if the note are guaranteed to be accessible offline on my machine after it's clicked in client on that machine (it could be purged from 'local cache' for whatever reason AFAIK). Currently, I feel that it would be easier to do 'alternative' Evernote client (via official API) than trying to (ask BS to) fix v10...
  16. Repro : 1. create new note 2. drag-n-drop file to note 3. note title does not change to file name And there's no option in Settings to make that default behaviour happen.
  17. Repro (10.80.3): 1. connect Android phone/tablet to PC 2. try to drag-and-drop any file to EN note 3. receive "Something went wrong when adding your attachment. Please try again" message. (and no, it never works) P.S. Does EN have bug tracker or something like that? v10 is broken in so many aspects, I can fill pages of bug reports...
  18. What UX 'genius' thinks this is a good idea ?.. First, 'new enhanced EN' removes note/notebook shortcuts from top panel. Then, it forces me to use : a) popup menu - point mouse to star icon, wait until menu appears, find shortcut, click it b) home-screen - click to activate home screen then scroll tiny window with shortcuts, select the one you need, click it). Either way it takes more time & more clicks. Citing certain movie character, I've rhetorical question for dev team : "Are you nuts?!."
  19. You are probably talking about 'local notebooks' -- notebooks that are keeped on one machine and never synced to 'the cloud'. This feature was silently removed from EN quite some time ago. On PDFs. PDF is an attachment (and always were). By default, it's displayed as full document in Classic Evernote, and you have option 'view as attachment' if you don't want to see whole document (the same goes for any attachment, images fox exmaple). v10 has similar option -- 'view as title' (via right-click context menu for PDF); surprisingly, there's even more options for PDF in v10 - 'single page' and 'all pages'. Search by PDF contents seems to be working in v10 (whole searching experience in v10 is not so good though). Regarding alternative, I can suggest (at least have a look at) Joplin. If 'local notebook' is crusial feature - this may be a right app for you.
  20. I'd guess notes are missing under-the-hood 'dirty' flag, i.e. flag telling app "you must download this" or add this notes to download queue (and then we need and explicit way to force download everything). Classic Evernote has this, but new one insists that everything automagically synced (not really) and refuses to give me (the user, who pays money for software/service) ability to do what I need. This maybe an attempt to save some traffic, or just simple f***up on the client development side, Either way it's kinda maddening...
  21. That's exactly why I always insisted on explicit 'sync' button – a way to make sure everything is available from your machine. So, BS should stop pretending EN can automagically sync everything in background, because it can not (lots of issues on the forum illustrate this). There must be a big green 'Make everything available offline' button. Yet again, evernote-backup tool is somehow able to download everything locally and export all notes/notebooks using the same EN API, but EN client constantly having troubles doing that.
  22. Yes, that's probably it - notes are probably converted only when opened (or at least shown in list, and added to download queue). Alas, there's no way to select all notes and do 'force convert everything now'. If that so, all my notes are converted by now. Will do some more experiments with offline access on my work PC/mac next week...
  23. I don't think the problem is in servers. Yesterday, I tried to backup entire EN v10 data using evernote-backup tool. The 'sync' phase (which basically pulls everything from the server) did pretty well -- there was only 3 errors / retries (I consider that acceptable for 60Gb database). And 'export' phase was completed without single error (all notes of all notebooks of that 60Gb database exported to ENEX files). So, syncing/exporting notes via API works pretty well. The problem is in the EN v10 client itself.
  24. What do you mean by 'local' note? I don't have any local notebooks (all notebooks ae synced across all devices). Looks like exporting notebook several times forces EN to cache all notes from notebook locally - first export fails at 13%, second export fails at 20% and so on until whole notebook successfully exported. After that BTW all notes (from successfully exported notebook) are available offline. So, in theory, if I can force export ALL notes (which can't be done in v10, not via UI at least) - this will force to cache everything locally, IF cached notes are never deleted (which I can't really check). Also, I've tried to backup whole database with evernote-backup tool (on Classic Evernote installation). It worked much more reliably - failed couple of times during 'sync' phase, but all notebooks were successfully exported in one go. Will try to do it with v10 at my work desktop PC today.
