LEGACY VERSIONS DISAPPEARING - THANKS FOR KILLING USERS TO THE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR BUSINESS

[kiwiads 13]

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE OLDER VERSIONS. THIS IS WHERE I LAND ONCE I'M REDIRECTED TO THE OLD LEGACY.

THE NEW VERSIONS ARE ALL UNUSABLE. EVERNOTE BECAME UNUSABLE. IT ALL ABOUT TRYING TO SUPPORT THE BUSINES

OF INTEGRATIONS WITH NO REGARD OF NOTES. THERE ARE NO NOTES ANYMORE.

For me the servers are back right now - started a couple of minutes ago. Everything synced in a couple of seconds, messages are gone.

shows up for me as well....was shocked to see the red banner this morning on Legacy....the new version of Evernote has nothing on the Legacy version.

Ctrl ; (Insert Date) I use all the time in Legacy, after all these years the feature remains not available on the modern Evernote which sadly has been one of the largest reasons I've held out for so long on the old version.

You can list the features you miss - many users of legacy are not aware of the current status of v10.

I use it often on V10:

This shortcut will use the system settings to determine the date format. Who needs more flexibility should try apps like Text Expander or PopClip (Mac).

The benefit is they will work across all apps.

Version 10 also has a keyboard shortcuts for a date stamp and one for a time stamp. 

• Evernote for Mac: Date Stamp (Shift + Command + D) or Time Stamp (Option + Shift + Command + D)
• Evernote for Windows: Date Stamp (Shift + Alt + D) or Time Stamp (Ctrl + Shift + D)

What we observe is that many legacy users are not aware about the range of functions that have been added to the new clients in the passing 3 years. There are groundbreaking novelties, that have no predecessor in legacy, but there are many smaller „comfort & coziness“ functions added as well. It’s quite complete already as it is.

There may be some remote things on a wish list (anybody needs to know himself if a shortcut for long and one for the short date are really essential). But sometimes I have the impression any - even the most farfetched - argument will be used for not making the move. This is not sustainable, and as with all discussions that may vary in length, but not in the outcome this one is not getting better over time.

In all honesty, I've just had a long discussion with my wife about why we really to need to replace our 20-year-old Toyota Prius before its hybrid battery realizes it's already lived twice as long as it's supposed to. Much the same experience, but at least she responded with good humor about how she feels about change. We're on our way to a dealer.

One thing I can't find in v10 is a setting to automatically take the first line of text and use it for the note title. I hope it's there and I just missed it. Is it?

No setting for it and it's not automatic AFAIK, but if you tap or click in the Note Title area then it will copy up to the first 255 characters of the first line of the note into the note title.

[PinkElephant 8,171]

You can choose as well if the cursor in a new note should be placed into the title field or into the notes body by default.

Thanks Boot17 and PinkElephant for your info. Those options are not quite as good as Legacy, but perhaps they are good enough. Or, maybe I'll make a suggestion to Support.

Look intop this for custom keyboard shortcuts and hotstrings https://www.autohotkey.com/. Talk to chat GPT to generate the code etc. Be ware chatgpt is not trained on Auto hot key 2.

This complaint has been false for a couple of years, and was responded to several days go in this thread: Shift+Alt+D = date; Shift+Ctrl+D = time. No need for an external solution. An example of people who stick to Legacy because v. 10 lacked something the last time they looked, which was years ago. Keyboard shortcuts in Evernote for Windows – Evernote Help & Learning.
