you should look for a way to export/import and export again later on. Today, evernote is the safest place to store your data: if the EN service would ever stop, all other note apps which don't have it already will happily provide ENEX import for 100 million users.

I did a similar test on android: after that, my android client refused to sync new notes from my windows client, the complete note list was frozen. After one day, logging out / in of the android client solved the problem and everything was synced again, android sync is still very buggy...

Yes, you may hide the actual note link behind a specific text, but in this case it's probably easier to give the central note a proper title avoiding this large number of steps each time a link will be made?

It's not very clear in which direction you would like to link: do you want links in your central note to all other related notes, or do you want to link from each other related note to that central one? There are several ways to add links, but in this case you may put your central note(s) in your favorites. Then every time you need to link to this central note, you just drag it from the favorites in the note you are editing. In your central note you will see the backlinks to all the notes that have linked to this one. You find the favorites in the left toolbar, the star beneath the home icon.

Thanks for testing 🙂 I forgot to mention that my tests were also with a stable WiFi setup (200 Mb) Please keep us informed how performance evolves next weeks...

As I already mentioned, after a logout/login the android client performance is acceptable but performance degrades dramatically over de following weeks. Thanks for testing the V10 android client on your new phone. What type is it? how long does it take to exit the editor and close a simple text note? How long does it take to take a picture and close the note?

just leaving the editor sometimes takes 5 minutes on android 😒

What does this say about the rest of his predictions?

Hmm, he published it 18 hours ago. He should know that his video is obsolete. I think he's biased...

why doesn't -tag:* return all the notes without tags?

What exactly do you mean by "If I click on those individual files": is it a single left click, double click, right click? Does it behave like a folder with a containing pdf file?

The implementation is straight forward: as you know XML is in UTF8 format (ASCII superset), therefore the binary data should be converted to text by base64 encoding, for the meta data see below: "...For each resource contained in the note, there will be a corresponding resource element within note which will be comprised of the following child elements: data is a base64-encoded version of the Resource. mime is the MIME type of the Resource. width and height will be set if the Resource can be displayed inline (e.g., images and PDFs)..." see : https://evernote.com/blog/how-evernotes-xml-export-format-works/ base64 encoders are available in every language, here is one for python: https://docs.python.org/3/library/base64.html

it does works for me with pdf files imported via dragging or import folder. When I export web clipped notes to a single html page, I do get evernote(0) evernote(1) ... files which are actually .png files without proper extension. So in some circumstances EN looses the file extension, maybe that happens with pdf files as well, depending how it has been imported?

I can reproduce your problem now, these files have lost their extension. I'll investigate it further... For testing, you can already rename the file to xxx.pdf and try it with acrobat

Yeah, but then you have to do this manually for each subfolder (each note has its own attachments folder) The xcopy command does this automatically for all subfolders at once... Correction: in case of single page html export, all attachments seem to be in one folder. However, in V10 there is something wrong with the file extensions. It does work in legacy

I assume these are folders containing your pdf files. You can copy all the pdf files in these folders into one destination folder somewhere else, for instance with the following dos command (cmd) : first you set the directory path to your export directory where these Evernote(1), Evernote(2) reside: cd exportDirectoryPath xcopy /s *.pdf ..\destinationFolder The destination folder now contains all the pdf's from the different Evernote(xxx) folders, this folder can now be read by acrobat

If simple full-note sync is already that problematic, how reliable will partly sync then be in the new collaborative editor?

How do you see these "backlinks in the note", a static snapshot or should these be updated dynamically whenever a new backlink is created?

I think, the mentioned V10 limitation is that note attachments can't be exported to a folder anymore. Although there is a workaround by exporting to html where all attachments are saved in separate folder(s).

One of my main use cases is indeed to store attachments, but I always add some additional text about the attachments in the containing note. This is fundamentally different from a simple cloud document server. In evernote, each note is a small container about a specific topic. This concept makes evernote so powerful, it isn't just some side-purpose... edit: I just checked my EN database: 74% of my notes contain attachments (always accompanied by related context)

what device is it?

png copy paste does work on my windows client. On which device and software version do you have this problem ?

@agsteele just curious, have you already seen or heard something on the expert forum what the actual status is?

Which still works perfectly on legacy, but it has now been re-implemented by another team. In the past, EN had cloud experts to develop their own servers and syncing mechanism, but these developers probably left when EN moved to the google infrastructure. Now they have mainly GUI experts, skilled in javascript / electron but apparently not in cloud computing.

I don't believe that Bending Spoons will reap the credit, but hopefully they will set the priorities to make the cloud functionality rock solid before adding more fancy features as the current management does today...
