I've now experienced this four times within the last year. I will quit the Evernote application, and when I try to start it again, its icon in the dock/Finder has become a generic white/grey one with a stop sign over it, and Finder tells me that "The application Evernote can not be opened". Okay, applications experience bugs, but this is in the extreme. Nothing can fix it except for a re-install of the application.

When it just happened now, I looked up the application in the Applications folder, and I realized that it only took up 22.3 MB. Mind you, after reinstalling it, it takes up 150 MB. Evernote is known to be riddled with bugs, so I am not after fixing it per se, I am just curious on how the application is capable of gutting itself like that? o_O

My console gives me this:
25/06/15 14.50.36,000 kernel[0]: Evernote[677] Unable to quarantine: 93 [This line is repeated 50+ times in the Console]
