Is there a limit to the number of notes Agenda can handle before it becomes sluggish and cumbersome?
I would like a place to put all my notes
How many notes are in the set “all my notes”?
around 10,000
That’s a lot of notes for a single project. Agenda will probably struggle with that.
In general, Agenda can handle a lot, but you need to spread notes out over different projects. If everything is in a single project, it will slow down.
I’m getting the spinning beach ball, but don’t have any project with more than maybe 25 notes. I do have some categories with multiple projects, but probably no more than 30 or so. Is there a way to tell how many notes I have overall?
Do some of these notes contain a very large amount of text, very large attachments or tables perhaps?
Not a lot of texts, but what might a very large attachment be?
I’m wanting to use Agenda as the main place I store things (including documents that relate to a person or event). Is there a better way than just to add them to the note?
A single document in a note should not generally be a problem. If you put many documents (eg 50) in a single note, that might slow it down.
If you can find some pattern for when this beachball appears, it might help us find the issue. There could even be a single note that has some form of corruption in it.
It may be worth trying this to remove the preferences file:
- Click on Finder
- Choose Go > Go to Folder
- Enter this exactly
~/Library/Containers/com.momenta.agenda.macos/Data/Library/Preferences
- Drag
com.momenta.agenda.macos.plist
to the Trash. - Restart the Mac.
Many thanks. I’ll keep an eye out for any patterns, if it starts again.
Love the app!
