<div>Hmmn. Didn't think Devonthink was a secret... and importing seems pretty easy - -switch-from-evernote#::text=Import in DEVONthink&text=Launch the legacy version of,imported notebooks and their notes.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>evernote legacy download mac</div><div></div><div>DOWNLOAD: https://t.co/SGEn83E8CC </div><div></div><div></div><div>The only difference I know is that the enex in legacy contained the character recognition data for scanned text, while the V10 enex does not. However, I don't see why this should affect the import process.</div><div></div><div></div><div>That is annoying a bit. I guess almost all people using legacy know about v10 and keep up using a legacy version as backup and for special reasons and functionality still missing in v10. At least I do.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Vast majority of legacy users don't know they are using legacy. More than two thirds of them never even installed v10. I saw this personally in many conversations: they think they are using "Evernote". But legacy is breaking more and more with each OS update.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>I don't know enough about the reasons behind using legacy (except habit) to rip it off right now. Hopefully I'll be more confident of the decision in a few months as I learn more.</div><div></div><div>But in any case we will still need to understand how many users are on legacy because they don't know about the alternative and how many are there because they need/want it. That's why we are ramping up communication and creating a path of least resistance that brings people to the newest version.</div><div></div><div></div><div>But in any case we will still need to understand how many users are on legacy because they don't know about the alternative and how many are there because they need/want it. That's why we are ramping up communication and creating a path of least resistance that brings people to the newest version.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I've seen quite a few people state on Reddit -- and actually, even here in the forums -- "I'm on the latest version." They think they are on the latest version because they go to the in-app "check for updates" menu and it would say "No new updates". You ask them what version number they are using and often they don't know how to provide that information. They have/had no clue they were on a legacy version and you have to manually download and install Version 10 the first time.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I think there is an external reason as well to close it down: We have a more and more hostile web environment, with malware of all kinds, driving an evil industry of stealing data and ransom attacks. This legacy client, deprecated as it is, should be removed from the computers before a gang of IT-thugs is using it as a stepping stone to enter a system. Several millions of legacy client installations, most of them on vulnerable Windows PCs, running on outdated 32bit-code are a large enough target. Nobody can be sure that deprecated software is free of loopholes, and there is no way to fix them any more. So better close it down in a controlled manner.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I don't know enough about the reasons behind using legacy (except habit) to rip it off right now.

That's why we are ramping up communication and creating a path of least resistance that brings people to the newest version.</div><div></div><div></div><div>So you should focus on adding stuff from the legacy version. I'm quite sure you have many tickets with information on what is missing. Mine should be there. It's still not feasible to work remotely as you cannot sync (f9) on demand.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Lost features - The old users are grumbling only about the 'lost features'.As a power user, i can feel what they go through, but the fact remains that [ look up the old Evernote tech blogs between 2015 and 2019 - The back end was stuttering and the tech debt was inevitable. Evernote Version 8.0 for IOS released in O'Neill's term, the tech debt was so bad that they could not fix, that they killed an amazing Version 7 [ Phil Libin's era] and re-wrote the code of Version 8.0 from scratch. Some of the [Augmented Intelligence features of Version 7 was lost, as a result. Most users have not realised that the tech side of legacy code development for each platform is no longer feasible, and were not realising that each release was slowly killing features, it just wasnt obvious, at that point].</div><div></div><div></div><div>Many legacy features came back in Ver 10.x - Some of those features include [IMPORT NOTE FOLDER], [QUICK SWITCHER Cntrl+Q] ,[TOGGLE VIEWS], [TRADITIONAL KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS], [ QUICK WIDGETS ON MOBILE] etc. The Evernote team made it clear that a lot of these features would come back, and they have been added back, now , i'd say functionally, the new V10 is now about 80-85% on par with Legacy functionality. I feel that the old features which were later been added to Version 10, is not known to many old power users, who got annoyed and just probably left.</div><div></div><div></div><div>New (and some amazing) Features - Since they have not tried Version 10, many are not aware of the new features. I feel that the Evernote team, has not publicised this enough on their blog, and inform users, why the Version 10 is more powerful than the legacy -</div><div></div><div></div><div>I have a hard time imagining that those who still use the legacy version today don't really know that there is an entirely new Evernote version with lots of new functionality with version 10, which was introduced 2 1/2 years ago. I would assume instead that many continue to use the old version for very specific purposes or for specific and personal reasons. For this, according to my memory, many individual reasons and arguments should be found in this forum spread over many threads (also for why others have left Evernote because they could not make friends with V10).</div><div></div><div></div><div>But what counts and is of crucial importance for me is a fast and immediate access to my notes and a speedy and fluent editing of notes, fast searching and finding as well as simple and fast possibilities for reorganization as well as networking and tagging of my notes. In addition, I don't want to be completely dependent on an online service, but rather have the ability to access my notes remotely for emergency purposes, or to export them in a way that can be used in a variety of ways or, in some cases, to transfer them to other and more suitable systems. For this, the legacy version offers me many functions that are still missing in V10, a blazing fast search without dependence on server communication, locally stored data, extensive export functions and fast and easy possibilities of reorganization and keywording.</div><div></div><div></div><div>It is true that I do not need these functions on a daily basis, but only on certain occasions or as a fallback. It may also be that my need to access the legacy version will be partially taken care of with the improved performance provided by the new sync. But for now, I'd like to have the legacy version available as a quick backup and complementary work environment for as long as possible.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Considering that legacy is, in my estimation, very consciously continued to be used, at least by the paying users, I would prefer to do without update reminders anyway. For the non-paying users of the free version, where legacy should still be installed, I assume that they hardly use Evernote anyway. But these "users" will be difficult to persuade by a simple update to use and develop the new Evernote and this preferably as paying users to the increased costs. Growth rates and additional paying users could probably only be won with an even simpler and cheaper entry-level version.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I have a hard time imagining that those who still use the legacy version today don't really know that there is an entirely new Evernote version with lots of new functionality with version 10, which was introduced 2 1/2 years ago.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I speak to a lot of folk who think they are on the latest Evernote and they are really on legacy. When I show them V10 they are surprised, happy, glad to see it being updated even though it happened years ago.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I think the "More than two thirds of them never even installed v10" is pretty telling that people don't know it's out there unless you think that well over half of that two-thirds number has read comments in the forums and not bothered to try because of legacy-specific features they rely on that they know aren't there yet -- I highly doubt.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Yeah - This then is the quandary I think. I don't envy the job that Bending Spoons has ahead of them in this regard. I imagine that many legacy users have local-only notebooks and so if they upgrade to the new version, those notes vanish and they don't know why nor how to explain it. They might not even know that they even had local-only notebooks. Then they might have two different Evernotes on their computer and they don't understand where or how their data is being stored and why they are different. It's all very complicated to an average user and it's very hard to educate a person that doesn't care to be educated about the product, they just want to keep using it like it is in perpetuum -- which is understandable.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I imagine that many legacy users have local-only notebooks and so if they upgrade to the new version, those notes vanish and they don't know why nor how to explain it.
