I found the answer to my problem in your last remark about "syncing or something similar".

At some time in the past, after setting the backup location in MI, the relevant NAS folder became misnamed (transposition of letters). Consequently, MI backup was pointed at a non-existent folder. It seems I ...

Hello Telesto,

Because I had collected a handful of minor performance irritations with my system, I did a full system reset (after two years). The exercise gave me a faster setup and resolved all the issues except MI backup.

I am unable to take this matter any further and will continue using my ...

I apologise for the delayed reply, Telesto. I've struggled to log-in to Support over the last two days.

I confirm all three asterisks in your last post.

I can also now confirm that the portable edition of MI8 will not back up to any location.

In my uninstall/reinstall I did not clean-up after ...

Thank you for your help, Telesto.

The answer to question A) is "No".

Kind regards

Thank you for looking at this matter, Petko.

I uninstalled and reinstalled MI8, but still cannot back up anywhere, i.e. C:\, D:\ and \\NAS.

At the moment I am filling in with Acronis.

Kind regards.

I am surprised to find I also have this problem (Version 8.5.1 [8179]. Thank you, ozstar for the heads up.

This experience suggests to me the issue may go beyond user error.

Your solution also fits my circumstances, Nocar. All my MNB files are stored locally on a NAS.
Kind regards.

I'm sorry to read of your problem, nocar.

I have several hundred PDFs spread over multiple notebooks. I have tried to replicate your experience but cannot do so. I have no indexing issues at all, which suggests to me that your problem may be local.

Alas, Joshua, I regret I cannot help you. I am unfamiliar with the usage you describe.

Daly, I use the following settings, which seem similar to the outcome you're seeking.

In Options/Display/Note Editor Appearance:

Font: Bookman Old Style/Regular/11

Background: Hue 40, Sat 240,Lum 237, Red 255, Green 255, Blue 249

I hope this helps you.

I would like Tools|Options|Display to have access to the same colour pallet that is available for notebooks and sections. I accept this may not be a useful suggestion, since I know nothing about coding, and the functionality may not appeal to MyInfo users generally. Just a wish-list thing for me.

Thank you Petko.

Thank you for your observations, Nocar.

Following installation of v7.0.9(6799) I cannot view PDF files (newly imported by "Notes from Files") in the internal browser. PDF files imported in this manner (before 6799) are unaffected and can be viewed as usual.

Has anyone else had this experience or is it just peculiar to my setup?

I have had the same experience for some time. For me, the behaviour arises in the editor with all notebooks and every note: new, old or very old. I support Ivar's request for investigation, although it is not a big issue for me.
