Any suggestions for dealing with Note Conflicts? I will mess up and forget to close a document on one tablet and then open it in another thus creating a Note Conflict with a link to view original document. Would that be the document saved on Tablet A or Tablet B? I get confused just thinking about it... Is there a help topic on this or any suggestions from the users here? Thanks! Steve

Hi there. An old version of a note was on my iphone (apparently the newest version of the note never synced to my phone?). My newest version of the note was on my desktop, but it apparently never synced to the server. The old version of the note on my on my iphone synced to the server after I opened the iPhone app to see my newest version was there, and when i opened my desktop this morning the new version was overwritten by the old version from the iphone. how do i revert back? -
Previously when there were conflicting modifications in Evernote notes a duplicate note was created in separate "Conflicting changes" notebook. I've just noticed that this behaviour seems to have changed in newer versions and the conflicting content now occurs at the bottom of the note. So far I've found two notes in my library with conflicting modifications from back in January and February. I never received any notifications of these conflicts and the notes have since been edited so it's impossible to see what the original conflict was! Please, please, if there conflicting changes please give me a notification when it occurs so I can fix it without losing data. It's impossible to do months later. And just putting the conflicting changes at the end of a long note does *not* help! I won't notice it and it isn't easy to fix... I preferred the old system. At least creating a duplicate note made it obvious that a conflict has occurred!

Deleting notes, fine. Works great and goes into the trash like it's supposed to. Does anyone know how to delete the Notebooks via the web, or even the iphone Evernote app? I have a bunch of " conflicting ...." & useless notebooks that I can't get rid of or drag to the trash, and the delete option ends up not being available in the edit menu.With a lot of them, it's just a useless note, in a notebook. I can delete the note in there fine, but the notebook still exists. It's really just starting to look cluttered. Many mess... much annoying.

I had a few conflicts between notes recently, so wrote an applescript to call an external diff tool, which saves having to export the notes. It compares the XML version of the note (easy to change to HTML) since the lines in the contents.html note file seemed to be concatenated together. The XML file seem to be more consistent with number of lines. The markup tags are still shown, but should still give an indication of the lines that changed. Hopefully an integrated diff tool might be include in Evernote at some stage (*Applescript to launch a diff tool to compare two notes in Evernote. Useful to compare conflicting notes1. Place the script file in ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Evernote2. Ensure Applescript menu bar item is on. Option to turn on/off is under General Preferences in AppleScript Editor3. The variable difftool can be change to any command line tool you require*)-- opendiff launches FileMerge.app developer tool-- /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/FileMerge.app set difftool to "/usr/bin/opendiff"--set difftool to "/usr/bin/visdiff"tell application id "com.evernote.Evernote" try set selected_notes to selection if (count of selected_notes) = 2 then set firstNoteId to my getNoteId(local id of (item 1 of selected_notes)) set secondNoteId to my getNoteId(local id of (item 2 of selected_notes)) set evernoteLibPath to (POSIX path of (path to library folder from user domain as string)) & "Application Support/Evernote/accounts/Evernote/" set evernoteUserid to name of (get current account) set contentPath to evernoteLibPath & evernoteUserid & "/content/" -- Noticed HTML file may be identical content, but some lines might be joined together on single long lines, -- so compare Evernote enml XML data file instead do shell script difftool & " '" & contentPath & "/" & firstNoteId & "/content.enml' '" & contentPath & "/" & secondNoteId & "/content.enml'" else display alert "Compare Two Notes:" message "Please select only 2 notes to compare" end if on error error_message number error_number display alert "Compare Two Notes: ERROR" message "Error running script (" & error_number & ") : " & error_message as warning end tryend tellon getNoteId(note_id) set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "/" set the id_items to every text item of note_id set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "" return last item of id_itemsend getNoteId I've also placed it on Github Gist https://gist.github.com/hooli/7699092 -
What is your best 3rd party program (preferably freeware) to tackle long notes that have conflicts where using ones own eyes is just not reasonable I have found WinMerge http://winmerge.org but I haven't tried it yet What are other people using and what is your Best Practice steps (I know this was discussed someplace else but I can't find it )
