Bear crashes when importing more .enex files after several successful imports

Bear feedback Bear Bug Report

  • Bear Version: 2.7.1
  • OS Version: 26.4 Tahoe MBP M5
  • What were you doing: importing more .enex files
  • What feature did you use: Import > Evernote
  • What happened: except for one tiny .exex file, Bear crashes and disappears
  • What did you expect to happen: do more successful imports

Yesterday, I migrated from Evernote to Bear. I import several thousand notes without any problem. Today, when I tried to import two more .exex files, Bear crashes instantly. I submitted a crash report to Apple when asked.

Downloaded from Apple Store and signed up for Pro.

Did not see any other reports that were germane to my issue.

I would contact Bear support. I would also try:

  • Importing on iOS
  • Leaving the app at the forefront while it is importng
  • Export smaller sets from Evernote

My initial import from EN a few years was tough because I had a lot of notes and a couple of them (needles in a haystack) were corrupt or for whatever reason caused crashes, so I had to isolate them by splitting my exports up: These 1,000 notes crash, so split into 2 sets of 500. First one works, second crashes. Split into two groups of 250…

I don’t know if these steps are relevant now a few years later, but I would give them a shot.

Thanks for reporting this issue. The bug it’s solved with release 2.7.2.
You should probably visit Bear’s Mac App Store page to update
