My Endnote was a forced upgrade, from a version I used without problem several years ago. Now I am using a machine that processes video at 60 frames a second, and endnote has to stop and think to save, to open, to sort. Spinning, spinning (i’m on a mac) spinning ball.
Come on, please, this is a TEXT database. We aren’t calculating the position of subatomic particles ten years from now.
I am using Endnote out of the box, with no styles, no syncing. I thought it would save me some time in formatting some references and here I am writing about its slowness. How sad is that?
Final straw came this afternoon when I tried to delete a duplicate reference. Pressed delete. Spinning ball appeared, for
a
l o n g
t i m e.
Pressed delete again, and again for good measure. Duh, two references disappeared. No idea which two. Endnote has no undo under the Edit menu.
For something that costs real money, this is a really sad excuse. I see that this has been going on for a long time with no real solution.
