Upgrading an Ancient Evernote Archive
The last time I used Evernote on my Mac was Evernote 4.3.1 (circa 2012 I believe). I had accumulated over 5000 notes. In an act of supreme cleverness, instead of actually archiving those notes in the Evernote enex format, I just backed up my entire home directory, knowing that all my notes were safely stored somewhere in the ~/Library hierarchy.
When I finally got enough gumption on my new laptop to install Evernote, I found that the latest version could not read the native 4.3.1 format from the ~/Library hierarchy. Doom.
