This beta is getting better! Best release in a while. I know a new editor is coming... so I'm ignoring all of the code block bugs I reported which are still present. Still can't search EN note contents w/ Spotlight though, depsite nuking and rebuilding indexes again after installing 7.10b2

7.10 beta (released yesterday) seems to fix this. If you're up for trying a beta release...

(it's a tumbleweed...)

@nicolml This bug has now "infected" both of my Macs -- even after upgrading to 7.6 beta 1. It's really annoying. I have blown out the entire profiles of both of these machines and this eventually comes back. It's somehow happening server side because I think these notifications are queried from some web service at startup. Please help me get rid of this. (Also note how horrible this alert looks in Dark Mode-- separate bug) reference support tickets #2694180 and #2694185

Well my experience has been horrible. There is no "escalation" to speak of. Cases simply get auto-closed with no resolution, no followup, no bugreports getting logged anywhere, and new releases coming out with more new bugs, and no fixes for the old ones that have been sitting there for years.

Sorry you didn't understand my post. I know it was subtle. Let me explain how EN support works now, since they seem to have outsourced the entire operation to some sort of weird volunteer group. The last 3 support requests I've sent in were promptly replied to by people who started off by saying So these are not EN employees, and probably have no access to internal bugtracking database (if such a thing even exists anymore?) and surely no access to meaningfully interact with developers who might actually fix anything. They then proceed to ignore most of my very detailed bug reports and regurgitate canned responses at me. It's all incredibly frustrating and in the end, a complete waste of time. So yeah, sorry but if that's the kind of support I get as a PAYING customer for almost a decade... no thanks. I'll stick with the toothpicks in the eyes. Hahahahahahahahhhhhhhhhh.

HAHHAHAHAHAHhHAhhahahahHahahahahahahahh. I think I'll go jam toothpicks into my eyes instead

Is anyone from EN listening to this? Is any work being done to address the horrid performance? I am just getting so frustrated with EN. I know everyone is leaving/getting fired or whatever. The world's ending at EN etc etc says all the blogs. But until I see a "Sorry, we're closing down" post on the frontpage, I expect things to still be fixed and work as long as we are paying for this product. Having to wait 10 seconds for search results to appear in my EN window is NOT acceptable.

The crazy thing is, on my system with close to 10,000 notes, querying the SQLite db that holds all this info takes just 1/10th of a second. So EN is somehow introducing a huge amount of lag in either parsing or whatever they are doing - but the delay is not related to the size of the data or database technology itself. It used to be fast (EN ver 5 was the last one I remember that was very pleasant to use, very fast UI and no lag when searching, switching notes, etc). No idea what the hell they did to destroy this but EVERYTHING in EN takes 2-3 seconds minimum, sometimes 5-6, or more where you are just staring at nothing. Why can't this be worked on?? $ time sqlite3 "/path/to/my/LocalNoteStore.sqlite" 'select * from ZENNOTE' >/dev/null real 0m0.131s user 0m0.119s sys 0m0.009s

@nicolml As you suggested in the other larger 7.5 beta 2 thread, I tried revoking access and then signing back in on the affected machine. That did not help. The bell notification is still stuck there. I use EN on 2 other machines by the way and on those, there is no error shown. It must be a local cache file or something corrupt on the local filesystem, I am guessing some little temp file etc in the ~/Library/Application Support/com.evernote.Evernote/accounts/www.evernote.com/<acct-id>/ folder... What else can I do to fix this?

Running EN 7.6 beta 1 Several days ago I had a Sync conflict on a long note. I resolved it and cleaned everything up and deleted the bad version of the note. Everything is syncing fine now. BUT- I can't get rid of this annoying "reminder" that is stuck: I have tried quitting EN, logging in/out and also restarting. Please help

No, it's not customizable on Mac. Please bring back the old toolbar to save us from wasted clicks. Or at least tuck this into the [...] menu where it belongs.

Performance is bad. I have 9,160 notes on a 16GB core i7 mac with an SSD. Just doing a simple search gives me a beachball for about 3-4 seconds, and then a weird subset of results is shown in the note list. I have to wait an additional 3 seconds for the window to refresh again with the "real" results. I have gotten used to this but it is such a time sink. It's faster sometimes to open a browser and search google than to search my local database, which is really sad.

Is it "normal" that when moving notes to a shared notebook, the original (non-shared) note gets deleted (moved to Trash)? This is what I am seeing. EN 7.5 beta 2 on Mac. If that's the expected behavior, a little note in the popup saying "the original will be moved to the trash" would be helpful to make it clear what is happening. I thought this was a bug when it first happened- and I was going to file a bug for it, but it seems this may be the actual intended behavior?

I opened a support ticket (#2639285). Suggest all others affected do the same to try to raise the priority on this. I don't think the forums are monitored that much by anyone who can actually fix this.

Really frustrating bug: When viewing a note on iOS (EN 8.15.1) if you click somewhere and try to edit, it always scrolls you all the way to the bottom of the note and puts the cursor there. It's really difficult to position the cursor anywhere else in the note if you are trying to edit something in the middle. I've found on long notes or notes with tables, it's basically impossible to edit so I end up just stuffing text at the end and having to go to the desktop app later to clean it up. This used to work much better, please fix!

Yes, OneNote does have a format painter feature.

+1 from me - I've requested this before. Badly needed feature.

Same problem here. Mac OS 10.9.2 + Preview.app. Evernote 5.5.0 (402474) Anyone find a fix for this? It's pretty annoying. The only thing I've found that "solves" the problem is fully logging out of my user account and then back on. But that's not usually a viable option when you're in the middle of a bunch of work.

Looks like we got a major upgrade to v5 on the Windows client today. They claim "packed with over 100 new features" — I guess adding an easy way to style text (a.k.a Format Painter) must have been Feature #101 on the To Do List

Maybe in another 3 years they'll consider putting this on the roadmap.

I don't remember exactly when but I started requesting this type of feature well over a year ago: http://discussion.ev...6892#entry76892 Not sure why but nobody seemed very interested in the idea -- To this day I think I am one of the few maniacs (as I assume the EN staff would call me) that cares to use >1 font within their notes. I am the type of deranged lunatic who likes to organize, beautify and style my notes consistently so that text stands out and is easy on my eyes when I go back to later recall things. I am just the kind of sicko who likes to click just One time when styling a block of text rather than Eleven. Apparently we are, with the exception of the few who have +1'd this thread, a minority within the EN user base.
