seebee 26 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Which version of Evernote is the default for Windows 10 on a Surface tablet? From the Windows Shop it is Evernote Touch, but I didn't think that this was supported any more. I tried to install Windows from the EN site but this directed me to google apps, which stated that it was already installed. ?? The Touch version is ok to use (version 3.3.0.102). With the Windows version that I previously had installed, it was far too easy to move the position of tags and notebooks and to nest them into unwanted groups. Thanks, as always for any help Link to comment

andreb 15 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Hi I bought a Surface Pro 4 recently and installed Evernote (desktop, beta) on it. Works perfectly fine if not used with touches. I wanted to show my boss some research I did and messed up my stacks and my tags completely. As well, scrolling down in a note window seems to select text. Rubbish :-( This EN is perfect (at least really usable) for mice and keyboards, but unusable for touch screens. Any alternative / lookout appreciated Cheers André Link to comment
seebee 26 Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 When you go to Windows Store, it still downloads EN Touch, and does not have Evernote for Windows. I was under the impression that apps should be downloaded from Windows Store, but I guess that is only if they are made specifically for Windows 10. I have since downloaded the latest EN for Windows from the Evernote site. This is certainly no replacement for EN Touch, I agree Andre, that it is hard to use on a tablet. But you can still download the Tablet version from the Window Store which still works fine. Evernote for Windows to replace Evernote Touch On August 2, 2016, Evernote Touch will be replaced with the full-featured Evernote for Windows desktop app in the Windows Store. If you’re currently using Evernote Touch, updating to Evernote for Windows will allow you to take advantage of all the best features of Evernote on your Windows 10 devices. Link to comment
andreb 15 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 @seebee I checked again, the windows store doesn't offer EN touch here. Would you be able to provide me an URL? The EN screenshots in the windows store look exactly like the EN desktop version. Link to comment
seebee 26 Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 I reset my machine over the weekend, meaning that there was no memory of Evernote ever having been on it. What may have happened is that Touch was installed and then overwritten by the later Windows version once the updates clicked in. Evernote did suggest that it would be automatically updated. In the meantime, I suggest that you stick with the latest and then scream your sox off at Evernote to make it 'tablet' friendly. I might even join in. Link to comment
dconnet 529 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 The Windows Store version of EN will only update to the desktop-version if you're on Win10 Anniversary Update + patches - specifically version 10.0.14393.103 (or greater). If you're on anything older, you'll get the older "Evernote Touch" version. Link to comment

Any chance I get touch from somewhere, @dconnet ? Link to comment

Ok, let me ask differently: Is it planned to support touch based windows devices? If yes, by when? Link to comment

I'd assume that now that they're down to shipping one executable, they'll be able to improve their touch support eventually. Timetables for that are anybody's guess -- they don't typically get specific on that sort of stuff. Link to comment
seebee 26 Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 One thing that would make EN desktop easier to use on a tablet would be allow touch scrolling on the 'notebook' lists as well as the 'note panel'. Scrolling with touchscreen works with the 'notelists' but acts like a 'drag and drop' editor with the 'left panel'. This creates chaos with accidental notebook re-ordering. Link to comment
seebee 26 Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 Microsoft Surface ( and perhaps others too) give the option on the mouse pad to do a two finger scroll. This works neatly with the problem that I just mentioned above. Maybe you all knew this and just kept quiet so as to not show me up. If not, try it out. I believe it is the default setting, so just try sliding two fingers on the mousepad on the 'left panel' and the 'note panel' to see it work. If it doesn't work, select 'ON' for 'use a two finger drag to scroll' in Windows mouse settings. It is not as efficient as 'touching' the screen, but works well if you remember it when you are in Evernote Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,652 Posted December 1, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted December 1, 2016 I was inspired to try this on a Win10 laptop. Doesn't work, but FYI messing with the left panel got me here - Link to comment
