6.11 GA this morning seems to have fixed the PDF issue.

Or, just use the web client at work. Nothing is saved anywhere.
I too would like a selective notebook sync, but there are at least two-three viable workarounds that make it managable to have access to your personal Evernote data at work without all of your data being on the work machine.

Just enable Sync on Demand and don't go into those notebooks on your work PC that you don't want downloaded. It only downloads the metadata (title, creation/edit date, tags, etc) but not note content until you click on it.

I am still having an issue.

• Took a pic via Scannable on my iPhone
• Sent to Evernote
• Note sync'd to PC, but only the title, and a horizonal rule. The PDF was gone.
• Went back into iOS and edited the note title. The PDF is there.
• Came back to Windows and the note title was edited, but just have the horizonal rule. Still no PDF.
•  

I edited the note in the web app and it finally showed the PDF on the desktop, but when I navigated away and back to the note, it showed the gray line again. Opening the note in a new window caused the PDF to show up, closing it then showed it inline. Navigated away again and back and got the gray line.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

Will check tonight. That wasn't there 3-4 hrs ago. Must have just been released.

Okay, wow, I was just coming to start a thread about this and on one hand glad to know it's not just me but on the other hand, THE OP WAS MADE 2/16 AND THIS IS STILL AN ISSUE?! This is a huge, huge problem. 

6.10.3.6921 (306921) Public (CE Build ce-1.39.4387) on Windows 7. 

 

 

 

super frustrating.

You can force it to show up by editing it on iOS, Android, or the web, or Mac, or a different Windows PC. Just add/delete a space and it will force it to resync and show up. You SHOULD NOT HAVE TO RESORT TO SUCH SHENANIGANS, but at least it will be available for use.

Rats. I've already upvoted this. Cannot upvote again. :-(

Yup. I reported this in the most recent beta thread. No response, or fix....

I just wanted to point out to someone an issue that has recently come up between Evernote and my AdBlock plugin for Chrome. This only started happening a few days ago, but my notes were coming up with a title only; absolutely no body text. I tried refreshing, hard refreshing, restarting, etc. Finally, I noticed a little "1" bubble on my adblock button, as if it had blocked a popup or something. I disabled AdBlock for Evernote (domain level), and voila! Problem solved. Just thought I'd share.

Yup. Noticed UBlock Origin caused the same thing. I whitelisted the Evernote site after that. They don't hit you with ads and are running a lot of complex scripts and code on that page to make it work.

 

Thanks. I have unchecked it and will see how it goes. There were times I just gave up and edited it in my web browser.

Second, on a 64 bit Windows computer, 32 bit applications have to run in a 32 bit CPU emulation mode.  It's really more of a thin compatibility layer than a big-time emulator, but there is usually still a performance hit involved.

I generally agree with your post and we use Office 365 here and force 64 bit versions on all PCs, but as the other post said, this is mainly because I develop some pretty large and complex data models in Excel using the DAX engine and 32bit Excel has fallen over flat.

As for performance, I'd wager anyone using 32bit office just fine (i.e. not big Excel models) would never notice any performance impact of 32bit vs 64bit simply because they aren't taxing the processor to begin with.

I'd like 64 bit evernote, but that is on principle. On Windows, the bottleneck is the MySQL database on the hard drive, so no amount of processor or RAM will speed that up, and EN isn't a memory hog where it needs to address over 3GB of RAM. And since I am sure there are existing 32bit Windows EN customers, going to 64 bit only introduces cost.

That said, it is coming. Apple has forced all apps on both iOS and MacOS to be 64bit. I am sure MS will do the same at some point, but not sure when, because as of today, if you really want to, you can install a 32bit version of Windows 10.

All my notebooks are fully downloaded and with and iphone 7 and ipad 10.5 2017 some notes (maybe every fifth note) take 30 seconds to display. I just get a spinning circle in the middle of the note. Like I said every single notebook is fully downloaded and even if they weren't I just did a speed test and my connection is fast. Anyone else?

Yes. Same here. Happening on latest beta as well. Offline or not seems to make no difference. It is  like it is the rendering engine that is the bottleneck, not the getting of data.

Probably a note corruption. A preventative measure would be to uninstall evernote, remove the evernote folder in your user profile (assuming all of your notes are synced and you have no offline only notebooks), reinstall and let it download  a fresh copy of your data.

I would like Evernote's security to work on my PC the same way it does on my smartphone.  There should be a parameter such that if Evernote has not been used for a specified number of minutes, it should require the password.

I don't have any personal information on my computers for which I would be in trouble if my computer were to be stollen - except what I have in LastPass and in Evernote.  So, I expect my Evernote data to be encrypted and password-protected.  I don't want to have to log in and out of my computer every time I use it.  I don't want to have to enter passwords to access any of my files - except those in LastPass and in Evernote.

So, why does the Evernote team not take security seriously?  It's secured in the cloud but not on our machines?  This should be an easy enhancement to add.  We end-users should not have to take on the job of figuring out how to secure our data.  Evernote should do this.

All of your evernote data is on your PC in plain text unless you have specifically encrypted text in a note.. If you want to take security seriously, encrypt your hard drive and secure your account with a password. That is a better solution than hundreds of app developers creating their own security model. 

The desktop model is quite different than the phone model. Desktops don't segregate data by app into secure databases like apps do, so by using a PIN on an app, the developer is tying into the platform security model and it is secure. If they put a pin on your Evernote app, that would be about as secure as putting a rope around a door handle and looping it to a nail to secure your house. 

It is fixed in the 6.8 betas. Either get that, or wait for the 6.8 general release.

Thanks everyone!  I already had my personal laptop's drive encrypted with bitlocker.  I am probably just paranoid but I wanted some sort of functionality similar to keepass where it prompts me for a passcode when it times out or the computer has been locked.  Maybe it is just overkill, but when you sit in the airport in Atlanta and realize you left your laptop in a TSA bin in North Carolina, it would definitely calm my anxiety.

Your laptop should be configured to lock when the lid is closed (assuming not on a docking station.) So for the TSA scenario to work, you'd have to turn your laptop on, log in, then walk away. I'd never log my laptop in for the TSA or anyone without a warrant.

Good point, on Macs we have FileVault built into the OS https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT204837

PCs have Bitlocker depending on the version of Windows you have or you can right-click and encrypt your Evernote folder - it will turn green when encrypted.

You can use VeraCrypt on both platforms too. There are others as well. Always ALWAYS encrypt your machine. Otherwise, I can steal it, take out the HD and attach it to a USB enclosure and have full access to your data.

There needs to be a security pin that locks Evernote from being accessed by strangers.  If someone loses or gets their laptop stolen, all the notes are there for the picking. A security pin is the least we would need to put up a barrier.  It would also be great if we could remove the laptop from accessible devices and make it trigger a deletion of all the data from the laptop before it can be accessed.  Right now, it just stops anyone from syncing the account, but all data is still there to view.

 

Thanks,

They are there for the picking anyway. Your Evernote database on your PC/Mac is largely clear-text. You should both encrypt your hard drive and secure your device with a password.

They know. They are the ones that told us it was because of the new table format. They know many are unhappy with it. I don't know if they are working on it though.

For the Windows client, if you use snippet, card, or thumbnail view, notes that have reminders are pinned to the top of the note list, in a second reminder list. reminder list can be sorted by date, or ordered arbitrarily. List view users are out of luck.

For Windows users, just make it a shorcut, then have the shortcut bar shown across the top, not down the side. I have about 7 "pinned" notes, and saved searches, and notebooks, that I always have access to regardless of my view, sort status, or even what notebook I am in.

No joy here either.

Sure. How would I do that?

Export the note to a enex file, then PM it to Jason. Or post it here if there is nothing you care about anyone seeing. I've done both in the past. On my Mac right now, but think it is File|Export note on Windows.

Strange. I can definitely confirm columns are adjustable using the method I described. If I hover the cursor over the column lines/separators, the cursor morphs into icon of parallel lines with arrows pointing in either direction; then drag in either direction to adjust column width.

Well, again, I was playing with this on the Mac. I'll have my Windows PC tomorrow and play with it there with Word and Excel. But on the Mac, it is no go as far as I can tell.

Interesting. I just pasted a table from Excel to Evernote, both on the Mac, and while it is the new table format, this produces unadjustable columns too as indicated by @csihilling

Even going through Word does the same thing. Makes no difference via Excel or Word if I Paste or Paste and Match Style. Columns are unadjustable.
