jimdew 29 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I see that on a Chromebook the note list is shown in top list form, while running on a PC browser, the note list is in snippet form. This seems extremely odd. Can someone confirm that they also get top list form on a Chromebook? Or not? I'm trying to see if I have some kind of local problem or if this is really what Evernote is doing. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,808 Posted March 14, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted March 14, 2021 On the desktop clients there is a choice of viewing options. On the web client there are none (at least I did not find any). Link to comment

On the GUI there are three main areas: the first column on the left: the list of notebooks, shortcuts etc. the second column: displayed to show the contents of a notebook or the results of a search the main note-editing window. Which area do you mean? Link to comment

You are right that on a chrome browser on a pc there are no options (as @PinkElephant pointed out) and you are stuck with the snippet view. I'm not that familiar with chromebooks but I thought they ran everything in a chrome browser so I would have expected the snippet view. On the desktop versions you have four choices accessed from the view options icon at the top of the note list. 1 Link to comment

jimdew 29 Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 Sorry I wasn't more clear. In the PC app, we have a choice of views (as @PinkElephant noted) while on the Web version you have no choice. When I run the Web version on a PC, the default layout is snippet mode (as described by @ehrt74). But on my Chromebook, I'm seeing the top list view, which is one of the options on the Windows app. This does not use the second column. Instead, the large pane is split vertically, with the search results in a list in the top portion of the pane and the note itself in the bottom portion of the pane. (This is the default format that older versions of Evernote Web used to use). But, just like in the Web on PC, I cannot choose the display form. The strange thing is that the default (and only option) is different on my Chromebook. Link to comment
ehrt74 240 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 i just started up my chromebook again to make sure, but for me the interface is the same under chrome/firefox on an ubuntu laptop and on chrome on a chromebook. strange ... Link to comment
