There is a convertor from 2.2.x databases to 3.x databases (you must run the 2.2.x exported database through 3.1 (apparently, the 2.2.x import functionality has been removed in post-3.1 versions of Evernote (stupid decision, imo)).
For Ultra Recall Pro, the ideal solution would be if Kinook supported BOTH EverNote 2.2.x and Evernote 3.x imports. (I recognize that 2.2.x users are a minority, but I don't see that the export formats are drastically different, so it might not be much additional work to implement both imports.) If Kinook decided to support only the import of 3.x databases, that would be acceptable since I can go 2.2.x->3.1->URp. However, I worry about losing metadata (like Note Links, which are not supported in Evernote 3.x) in the process (especially transitioning between 2.2.x & 3.1)...

OH! I forgot to mention this earlier... I use EverNote 2.2.x with Dropbox -- I store my ENbase in Dropbox -- and it works FLAWLESSLY. |

I certainly know what you mean about IQ. It's cool, but who has the time to build all that infrastructure? UR is plenty flexible for my needs--I have loads of custom templates (and entertaining icons!) for the data types I use.
Drew, about Dropbox, could you please elaborate? Are you syncing the db file between PCs and Dropbox, or are you actually loading the remote db in Evernote from various locations? Cheers, David |

Any insight/tips/suggestions you could provide about templates, icons, or URp best-practices would be appreciated! Quote:
If you decide to register (free) on Dropbox, please go through this link (https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTUxNzE0Nzk) to give me credit as your referrer... I appreciate that! Launch the application and point to that file. Do your work. When you exit the application, the file is synchronized with Dropbox. Any machines you have authorized to sync to your Dropbox account receive the updated version, and you're good to go. It works transparently in the background, no fuss, no mess. In Dropbox, I store my working files for BigOven, EverNote, Evernote, Ultra Recall Pro, OneNote, InfoQube (SQLNotes), KeePass, Quicken, and as an online "USB stick" for other file storage too. Please let me know of any questions. Last edited by vogelap; 04-02-2010 at 11:36 AM. |

Thanks for sharing your method! What I currently use is PowerFolder, which syncs my files (including UR and other databases) by a peer-to-peer method. It works just fine. The same caveat applies as with your method: you need to close the db program on computer X before you can work on it on computer Y. In that sense I guess these two methods are pretty much equivalent.
My problem is absent-mindedness: forgetting to close on one pc before opening on another. I've been working on a solution that uses a batch file that closes all the relevant programs. I then use Windows scheduler to schedule the batch to run every 15 minutes, but only if the system has been idle for 15 minutes. This way the programs don't close if I'm working on the pc. This is imperfect, since I might be looking in a book for 20 minutes, and the applications will be closed before I'm done with them. In order to minimize this inconvenience, I've written another batch file to start all the closed programs with one click. This works swimmingly on my xp systems, but I haven't quite ironed out all the kinks on my single Win 7 system. The reason this method works with programs like UR and Surfulater is that they write all changes to the db either immediately or when the program closes. If you did the same thing with, say, MS Word, and hadn't saved your work, this close command would generate a dialogue box ("Save Changes?"). Then again, there is no reason to keep programs like Word open all the time, as one likes to do with UR, etc. Okay, that was verbose. If you've read this far, I'd be interested to hear what you think of this method... Best, David |

Hi David!
Phew! That's a lot of work... I tend to be in favor of the easiest solution -- which would be to remember to shut down programs on computers I'm not currently using. Additionally, I'd probably install VNC or something to allow me to get into my computer remotely and shut stuff down should I forget, but that's just me! |

I used Live Mesh during their beta test period, or at least for a good part of the beta - probably about the first half or a little more. However as happens with beta releases there were a few big oopes where I lost some data. Now I naturally had copies of all files in Mesh stored elsewhere so there was no actual data loss but I did finally drop out of the beta when I decided to go with Dropbox, which seemed to have their sync process working with more stability. I haven't gone back and tried Mesh again. Sounds like it is running well at this point. I gather you are satisfied with it since you are recommending it here. Maybe I'll give it another go, though I do have a 100 GB premium subscription with Dropbox currently. Thank you. Jim |
