Popular Post fchandler 30 Posted October 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2020 I have a Picture in each of my Notes which show up as Thumbnails in the "Notes List View" for every note. The problem is when the Picture is changed in the Note, the Thumbnail in the "Notes List View" remains the original Picture and not the changed Picture. I have to create a New Note with the changed Picture in order to get the new Thumbnail to show correctly in the "Notes List View". Thank you for your assistance with this issue. 9 1 Link to comment

This was raised in the beta.The thumbnail does update in the web version which is strange as normally the behaviour of the Windows and web versions are the same. You are then left with the same note with two different thumbnails. I'm sure that can't be intended so it must be a bug. Link to comment

I experience the same issue and find it very annoying as i use that feature often in the web version. Link to comment
UrbanRenstrom 21 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Yep, I'm also experiencing the same thumbnail behavioural *issue* +1 to fix 10.9.10-win-ddl-public (2439) Editor: v119.1.15375 Service: v1.30.2 © 2019 - 2021 Evernote Corporation. All rights reserved Link to comment
Jamie L 14 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I find this extremely annoying because I use the thumbnail images as a quick way to find the note. I am at least happy to know that if I recreate the note that the correct image will show up, though I'd ultimately like to be able to choose which image shows there because some notes have more than one image - - because they are notes about something that has images. Even if it had the orientation such as "last image entered is the one shown" then I could always just re-add the image I wanted showing there. Link to comment
kamprs 2 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 It's driving me crazy. I change the picture and the thumbnail stays the same... and that picture is not even in the note any longer. 1 Link to comment
Almond001 3 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 You have to 1) remove the old, unwanted picture from the original note. 2) Make a COPY of that original note without any images. 3) Add the correct image to the NEW note. 4) Delete the original note. It's clunky. It's silly. It's annoying. It also works (until Evernote programmers get around to actually fixing something.) 1 2 Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,738 Posted August 13, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted August 13, 2021 The thumbnails issue is always good for a new turn. I sometimes think this is the special place for the EN devs to go and create a little chaos and havoc in an app made to organize things. You know, to vent a bit of creativity, once in a while. There is a long running voting thread with a LOT of votes to allow users to define their thumbnail of choice. Maybe you add your vote, if not already done. Link to comment
Jamie L 14 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Almond001, yes, that's about what I do. PinkElephant: I like to use the images as a quick way to spot a particular note. I guess I'm just a more visual person. It's not really about creativity, at least, not in this instance. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,738 Posted August 13, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Yes, I do the same. My comment was not about us users getting creative, it is about EN changing the thumbnail algorithm WITHOUT doing first what we users want since long: Getting a chance to select the picture that should be used for thumbnailing. Instead they find new ways of letting the system find out what to show. IMHO simply badly employed devs hours. In German we have a word, that directly translated would read „worsebettering“. That’s what happens here with the thumbnail selection. 1 Link to comment
Jamie L 14 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 PinkElephant, we definitely need a "worsebettering" word for English! Yes, you are exactly right. 1 Link to comment

But now I've duplicated the note as y suggested and the dog is finally gone. Thanks for the idea.... The dog just doesn't cut it as an enchilada recipe. This recipe was clipped from the web. Thx,for the work around. Link to comment

macstash 2 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 @evernote this is painfully frustrating that this bug hasn't been fixed since being reported in 2020? What is the plan? Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,738 Posted January 13, 2022 Level 5 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Whom do you ask ? Us other users ? If you want a comment, issue a support ticket. Meanwhile create a new note, it will generate a new thumbnail from the content. If the old picture is not in it any longer, chances are good EN will pick something else. Link to comment
