oksi 1 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Hello, I wanted to merge two notes (one ink note and another text note) and when I did it I lost my recently created ink noted and appears as an attached .bin file. I don't know how to open it and I cannot recover my draw because the note was just created and dont appear as a history to recover. any idea? Why this happens? If it's not possible to merge an ink note to an existing one it should say it instead of having this behavior... Link to comment
Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 3,853 Posted September 7, 2017 Level 5 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I just tested this, and got the same result. The attachment.bin file begins with "RMMessageBegin" and ends with "RMMessageEnd", for whatever that's worth. I can understand how a note that consists of what is basically a drawing and one that consists of text could not simply be merged; but it does seem that the drawing might be attached in some recognizable format like .jpg or .png. Failing that, I agree there should definitely be a warning when attempting to merge ink notes (trying to merge two ink notes just produces a note with two attachment.bin files). Link to comment
Level 5* tavor 668 Posted September 7, 2017 Level 5* Share Posted September 7, 2017 Same here. There was another thread on this. Link to comment
iPaddict 6 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I discovered this too. HOWEVER, the note isn't lost. Open evernote on the web, and viola, your ink note is back. It will also show on your android phone, not sure about IOS. For some reason, the Windows version of Evernote cannot display the ink note in the merged note, but it can be viewed elsewhere.

Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 3,853 Posted November 22, 2017 Level 5 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Right you are, @iPaddict! Just tested it out by merging two notes in the Windows app and then checking the merged note in Android, and the merge was flawless! (Evernote Web is down for maintenance at the moment.) Thanks for this great catch. Link to comment
