MalcolmG 9 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Evernote appears to cache the first (?) image added to a note and displays a thumbnail of this image in various lists of notes including the Snippet View. 1. When you add an image to a note and then delete the image, the deleted image's thumbnail still remains with the note. Is there any way to clear this cached image from a note? Creating a new note, copying the note's contents to the new note, and then deleting the original note is one technique ... but this breaks links to the original note. 2. If you have multiple images in a note is there a way to force a specific image to be the source of the note's thumbnail image vs having the note's thumbnail image default to the first image inserted in a note (that's a guess) or a random image within the note? 3. Sometimes I have notes with an image and the image doesn't seem to produce a note thumbnail. Is there a reason for this, eg. some min/max image size, color resolution, or image file format? 1 Link to comment
qveenissac 3 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I noticed your same sentiments too. Did you ever figure out why EN keeps thumbnails of photos thar have been deleted from within a note? (Or how to really delete that pic?) I know choosing the thumbnail is not possible. As it's been explained, supposedly EN chooses the image with the largest smallest dimension (could it be more random or confusing of a parameter?) ex: u have 3 images 100x200, 150x500, 400x50 50, 100 and 150 are the smallest measurements so the 150x500px image will be the cover photo. 1 Link to comment
slloop3 1 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I'm wondering if there has been any further discussion on this. I use the web app (Windows 10) and I am continually frustrated by this. My most current frustration is where I delete the thumbnail image entirely and put one or two other images in the note, hoping that one of them will replace the thumbnail image but neither of them are selected - I'm still stuck with that original image (which is an internal site ad, so it wasn't blocked by my simplified format). I thought I remembered from a few years ago that if you delete the offending image & refresh the page, it will proceed with a different selection but I haven't seen this happen since the big switch a year or so ago. 1 Link to comment
M. Black 14 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Anyone have a workaround?! I'll live with it -- ANYTHING, REALLY -- until EN sees the wisdom of fixing this! Link to comment
Mad Dog 0 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I have a work around for anyone trying to get rid of an old image/thumbnail that just won't go away like the Terminator. Assuming you have already deleted the image & any links to that image. Just copy and paste up a new note with all the old info in it as it stands now updated. And have another other large sized image placed preferably at the top of the note that you prefer to see. Again so copy the old note and then paste it into a new replacement note. Then after carefully checking which is the old note I delete it. The new note will show the new photo you prefer to see. Of course there should be an easier way to do this but this work around does the trick for me!!! Link to comment
