  1. I've got ~10K notes, so you're managing 45K without issues gives me hope. Thank you for the tweak suggestions - I will try them and see how it goes. Beyond that, I may add an SSD to the list of upgrades my machine needs (I like this machine's screen size and Bang & Olafsen speakers, and since I'm on Windows 8, hopefully Microsoft won't force me into Windows 10 for a while yet). Cheers.
  2. I appreciate your understanding. I hoped I could do some things on my end without having to bug Support, they're busy enough as it is. But yeah, I may go that route if my current set up doesn't improve performance. Cheers.
  3. Re: disk, I've got a HDD, not SSD on an Asus laptop with 12GB RAM. I'm using v6.22.3.8816 (08816) Public (CE Build ce-62.6.10954). My EXB file is 6.13GB Re: rebuild time, after a quick "fix all notes", I clicked on "Optimize database", a progress bar appeared, and it took all day (from some time in the morning through till some time in the evening) to complete. Then Evernote was in not responding mode indefinitely...at some point after at least a half hour, I shut down the machine, rebooted, restarted Evernote, "not responding" was back like Jason Voorhees...shut it down again, restarted again...and now, it appears to be running crisply. Started faster than I've ever seen it start before. Now I'm trying to do a search. I start typing into the search field...not responding. I force close the app, try to start it again, now it won't even start. Previously, I would have to restart machine in order to restart Evernote, but I've since realized I can invoke the Task Manager and close the Evernote processes that were still running even though the app had been shut down - this allowed me to resart Evernote. One thing I'm now trying that appears to be helping (as in the last 20 minutes) ...I've turned off both Snippet View as well as Note Panel - there are no longer any images being served in my main list. Sucks that I'm paying for a service and can't enjoy its full functionality, but I need the stability.
  4. I've reinstalled my then current version searched activity logs for "errors" and "failures" (there were none. Not one, through over 140 pages of activity logs) upgraded to the latest version rebuilt the database (took nine hours. Yeah, nine of them). Yet still, after all of this, every time I touch Evernote for Windows, I'm banished to not responding hell. WTF? This thing is pretty much useless. WHY? Evernote for Android, no problems. Evernote web version in a browser, no problems. I would love to just stick with my phone app and the web version, while ripping Evernote for Windows off my machine and never, ever, trying to run it again. Ever. But there are tasks that can ONLY be done in a desktop app, like exporting notes/notebooks, encryption (such as it is), etc...and that is what is most frustrating. I'm beholden to using this piece of *****, but it just refuses to work for me. This is about the point when I should cue all the people who're going to say "works fine on my machine." And that's terrific, except I don't use your machine. This entire, ongoing lack of functionality is utterly depressing. What ELSE can I try to rectify this? Is there ANYTHING I can do?
  5. Hey Evernote, Removing the ability to set reminders in Evernote Web cannot be considered progress. Please restore this functionality.
  6. Trying to add a comment at the top of a web clipping is a mess, the formatting is almost never clean, nor does the remove formatting thing work very well. It'd be extremely helpful to include the remarks field that was/will soon again be in the Chrome Web Clipper to Web Clipper for Android. Being able to annotate/comment on a clipping in real time while the thought is fresh is very helpful and increases the usefulness of the clipping specifically, and Evernote in general.
  7. Am I getting the correct impression that Evernote is essentially saying "Hey users, we heard you, and yes, you can now share stacks of notebooks! Welcome to Spaces!"
  8. Wow. I remember when I thought 1,000 notes was a lot. Then, before you know it, I hit 5,000. I'm hovering just under 8,000 notes right now - 100,000 is breathtaking. NIce to see Evernote has that kind of capacity, I've got lots of room to grow! Granted, number of notes and size of notes is not the same thing. Some notes are very small in size; others can be quite large. So, count of notes is just one measure, but not the only one. Regardless, whether number or size, the message seems clear - Evernote can grow with you.
  9. Hmm...interesting question! I'd probably not want attachments to be editable within Evernote. I think I'd rather edit some document closer to its original source, and just update a copy to Evernote if need be. But, that's just me.
  10. I believe find/replace within one note is currently available in Evernote for Windows. But a global find/replace engine? To be able to run find/replace - for all notes; or - all notes in this/these selected notebooks; or - all notes with this/these selected tags; Now, that would be awesome. C'mon, Evernote. It can be done.
  11. It's not a competition or race. Just a function of time and use approach. For example, sometimes I have one long note that works well as one long note. Other times, I'll break that note up into several more focused notes and the tie them together with links. If, for example, you've set up a notebook for receipts that you share with your accountant, and then take picture notes of every receipt, tagged accordingly, that can ramp up note numbers pretty fast. Or, if you are doing research, clipping articles, taking notes on readings, again, that can add up. You may be taking picture notes of all your kids' report cards, drawings and paintings, maintaining an Evernote fridge door type of notebook. Or a renovator taking lots of before and after pictures, making notes on tough challenges and how you solved them. The more you use Evernote, the steeper the proliferation rate. I remember when I hit the 100 note milestone, and the 1,000 note milestone. The first time I engaged this thread I was at 4,000 notes, now I'm over ~7,000 10 notes, 1000 notes, 10,000 notes, 30,000 notes. The only thing that matters is that you're getting value out of Evernote, however many notes that takes. And it's good to know that Evernote has sufficient capacity for most people's needs.
  12. Indeed, most noteworthy. Good on you for clarifying for us, thanks.
  13. When accessing Evernote through a browser and in the Notes view, the total note count is in the top left corner. When accessing Evernote in Windows, again, upper left. Having done this, I'm noticing that the two numbers across my devices are not the same. Why is this? That's a whole other question, to which I've no clue. Oy vey.
