Note 9 Size

[Pamala]

Theres a table that says the maximum size a note can be. I think in Plus it's 50 MB. But I can't find anywhere on a note where it says the note's size in MB to check if I'm going over. Can someone point me to the right place to check on a given note's size? Is there a button to push? Obviously there's something I'm not seeing.

Thank you Analyst444, I realized after I sent the note I should have said I was working on a Mac (10.9.5) and I appreciate the advice. I've done what you suggested and looked in the view menu, but there isn't a "Show Status Bar" even in the submenus. I did poke around in the other menus and couldn't find it there either, so there is definitely something I'm missing. I do appreciate your help.

Since I can't find it maybe you can tell me, if I get to the size limit for an individual note will there be a warning? I'm concerned that I might just write and write and then lose all the writing because I've gone past the limit. If I know there's a warning that will come up, then I won't worry about this and don't need to know the individual sizes. Even if you can't help with that, thanks.

I was looking in the menu list again at everything, And there was a "sort by" selection and it said "by size" so I knew there must be a way to find out, and then while moving my mouse I stopped by a little button at the top of the note window that has a lowercase i in a circle. I clicked on that and it provides information for the note. Bingo!

In regard to the limit, don't worry. I wrote and published a 350 page book on Amazon. As a PDF, it is only a little over 1 MB. So, the 50 MB limit is going to allow you to write several thousand pages before you come close to the limit.

Just to add - the file size on your desktop isn't an exact guide to the note size, so be careful if uploading large pictures or media files; and Evernote uses limits to mean exactly that. Exceeding the size of a note will mean you can't edit that note, and may prevent you from syncing any notes until you find the problem. If you're getting within 10% or so of the maximum, start another note!

DTlow, Cool, I didn't see that there was a layout like this. I've only looked at the snippet version of the list and the card view. This is great. I can go check on them all if I'm worried. Thanks so much.

And yes i do know that i can see the audio file size After its been created, but that doesn't solve my problem, because i need to see the audio file size Live as its happening, not afterwards, otherwise its too late like that.

Hi. I doubt that Evernote will do as you ask - they're set up to do a lot of things within notes, but in each case - handling pictures / showing text / recording sound - the features are pretty basic, because they have to work in most operating systems, on a huge range of devices, for people in a wide range of activities from cub scouts to astronauts. (I may have exaggerated there a little...)

It's probably not hard to set up a counter for notes approaching a certain size, but it will require a considerable amount of time and effort to cover all the options; and unless it will benefit a lot of users, there are several thousand other requests they already have to consider.

Although I know Evernote can record sound, I use four external apps for my recording (3 on Android, 1 in Windows). They are Cogi (which can record 30 seconds of sound before I hit record), Hi-Q for good quality sound (Music) and Voice recorder - which does exactly what it says. My Windows software is Audacity, which I can use to edit the files produced by the other apps if necessary.

Because these apps generate MP3 files, they make good use of my storage space - and if one file is too long I can chop it into sections with Audacity. I add the MP3 files to Evernote when I've finished recording so my normal device OS tells me how big they are.

However my thought about the gigabyte note is that it would be too unwieldy to use. You could get completely lost in such a file without good outlining and search and filtering tools. I work with gigabyte log files from time to time and this is always the main issue, finding the entry(s) of interest.

A fair bit of that is 10 years of stuff (read: junk) that I imported from Evernote. I used to store all my scanned documents in Evernote because the Premium version supported full-text search for images and PDFs. I've since started storing my scanned documents in Google Drive instead since they also support full-text search and I like the document organization better. I expect my size will drop eventually.

I was aware that in the past people have raised questions on this forum about Joplin purging old data (or not) and wondered if the config folder size was actually a measure of how much data Joplin was actually storing.

So, out of curiosity, I created a JEX export of everything and imported it into another copy of Joplin which was synced (E2EE) to an empty sync target. I then checked the size of the new config folder and saw that it was only 110MB.

Therefore this is essentially the same data in both clients, but the "used" client uses 3.5x as much space as the "fresh" client. I suppose that the "used" client may be waiting to flush some unused data but the notes are primarily text and the resources do not change that much

Looks like there's a bug in how Joplin deals with deleted resources (or maybe it's by design) -- even if you disable note history, Joplin would still keep resources around for the time specified in options (Keep note history for (days) in Options - Note History). And if you set it to 0 then it'd still default to 24 days.

I think the total size of all user data isn't the limiting factor in using Joplin.

A few huge pdf files, videos or photos embedded in the notes can easily blow up the database size without having any serious impact on the app.

I have a note in my survey and I was wanting to change both the size and the color of the text. I see from the documentation that this is possible, but how would I format it so that I can control both the size and the color?

Edit:

I came across this blog about using HTML tags and I decided to go a different direction than initially planned. I decided to use a DIV element in the label and everything is working as expected now. Thanks for taking a look at this for me!

It's 2017, Evernote. Limiting us to 200MB today in a single note isn't working anymore and will force me back to OneNote. Many .pdf files are larger than 200MB. A new limit of 2GB per note needs to be put into place.

I am in favour of this idea. Most of the pdfs I read are about photography and the author has to be extremely careful when compressing the images that the overall integrity of the images are not compromised. For this reason many of my pdfs are over 200mb. I would like to see it raised to 500mb (even 250 would be better).

I agree, there are many use cases for which this limit creates issues. For example, If i am taking audio notes and video notes pertaining to a specific topic, I have to store it in multiple notes just because one note cannot incorporate more than 200 MB. Not only its a nuisance, it also interferes with the organisational structure.

Appreciate the explanation. The videos I have are mostly personal. Most are greater than 200 MB. I have them stored on a local USB attached SSD synced to a cloud service. I put a link to the video in an EN note and then title and tag appropriately.

Works pretty much the same in that if I click on the link the video starts. Since EN doesn't make a video in itself searchable I find it to be a fine compromise. Easy to find via title and/or tags and still effectively backed up in the cloud. FWIW.

Another issue is that notes of that size nibble away from the upload limit. I once retagged a larger number of notes containing larger PDFs. Just tags and in some cases a little text of the Title was changed, but it counted the full note size including the pdf as if newly created. It was the only month ever I came close to my upload limit.

A tiff file of a scanned handwritten A4 page is just over 25MB, so I am limited to one page per note. The handwriting in ballpoint is of course going to create a fairly large file size to be readable. Notes relating to IT info, steps for a rebuild or reinstallation etc would take too much time to type in. So I would also appreciate an increase in the allocations.

Plus accounts no no longer exist, except for folks who are grandfathered in. I.e., they're pretty much at a dead end. See the FAQ. I wouldn't expect them to increase the allocation limits for Plus. Sounds like your use case is more geared towards a Premium level.Is it possible to compress the TIFF files to save space?

I merged your post with similar requests

As per @jefito, your immediate solution is to upgrade to Premium

also, the tiff format is unusual for scanned handwriting; I use a compressed format like jpeg

Usually when I save a TIFF, it is because I want / need an uncompressed picture file. But then I save it to a disk drive, because handling of file this large is not always practical over an ISP connection. It is even slow using my Gigabit LAN at home. Once I finished working on the TIFF, it will be saved in something like JPG or PNG, shrinking it by as much as 9/10th.

P.S. 200 MB is even huge when saved as a TIFF. I sometimes stitch several pictures together to a panorama. You need several pictures to take the combined file north of 200MB. But the new Sony has a 61MPix Sensor, maybe it is time for a change then.
