Nvalt persistent note id7/6/2023 NvALT sports features which are not so well-known. I have been seeing slowness (Evernote 6.0.7) while editing notes for a while (2-3 months maybe?) I couldn't tell you when it started, but I typically update Evernote as soon as a new GA comes out.Include Images in nvALT for a Multi-Media Zettelkasten Experience The symptoms are most severe when I have a large note open for a long time, creating a lot of content or making a lot of edits. A few weeks ago I was using Evernote to prepare a speech. The note was around 42KB (25,000+ characters) and was just text + formatting (highlights, bold, size changes, hyperlinks, etc.). I reached a point where the performance problems began to impede my progress. For example, copying a block of text took several seconds to complete. I would be typing a sentence and I would have to pause to wait for the text to appear (I'm a fast typist but not that fast!). I almost moved my stuff to Pages to get my work done, but decided to re-start Evernote first. Restarting Evernote seemed to solve the problem for a while. After more editing (say, 15 minutes or so of nearly constant typing and/or reformatting?) the slowness returns, but I am able to remedy it by performing an EN restart again. I have seen similar (but less dramatic) performance issues when editing smaller notes, but there seems to be relationship between the amount of content and the slowness problems. For example, I just restarted EN because a 5k (3600+ word) note was starting to get sluggish. I'd classify this as an annoyance for me, but not a deal-breaker. Most of the time I'm working with small notes and see no performance problems.ĪAARRRRGGGGHHHHH! Please do something about this issue. This is one Premium (i.e., paid) user that is arriving at his wit's end. I have used EN as my Daily Call & Conversation log for several years, and now it is becoming unbearable. When I am on a phone conversation, the EN cannot keep up with my typing. The "beachball" delay is hampering the workflow. I'm a Premium user and I use evernote both at work (Windows) and at home (Mac). The mac version is completely unusable for writing, to the point I'm now considering it "ready only". Typing is not an option in the app anymore.Īnd this comes after a crash that made evernote unable to open, crashing instantly after clicking on it's icon, repeatedly, even after rebooting my macbook ! Creating some line breaks by pressing enter is taking up to 3 SECONDS. All the great functionality is totally WORTHLESS if I can't a) OPEN THE APP in the first place and 2) WRITE TEXT ON NOTES. You should be all hands on deck on this issue and stop all development until you have completely eliminated this issue ! This is a note taking app, this is it's core, it's bare essentials, it's mission critical function. (By the way I'm on 6.0.6 and I could only open the app after a new download from the app store. The sluggish performance, on the other hand, is getting worse every day, making the app no good for writing anymore). I'm pretty certain it's related to the changes made to syncing, where updated notes are automatically synced (whilst you are still editing them!). Normally when I quit Evernote it quits immediately. Whenever I have the slowdown when typing a note into Evernote I quit Evernote in the hope that restarting it will cure the slowdown (it always does) and every time I quit Evernote during such a slowdown I always see a dialogue window announcing that Evernote is currently syncing and will quit when it is finished. It normally takes a few seconds (up to about ten) for the dialogue window to disappear before Evernote then quits. I'm sure this slowdown is related to the fact that that (slow) sync is taking place on a note I'm currently editing and possibly the fact I'm currently editing it is causing the sync to keep restarting and thus slow down the typing even more.
