ln899 16 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Evernote has what is, in effect, a "close to system tray" function. I like that. What I miss from v6 is a simple, direct way to open Evernote with one click on the system tray. As it is now, a left lick opens the Quick Note window, which I never use. The Quick Note window does offer an Open Evernote option, with a further click. Likewise, a left click on the tray icon offers several choices, including Open Evernote. Again, two clicks, not one. But what I really miss is the ability to Open Evernote 10 with a single click on the tray icon. Am I missing something? Is there a way to do this? Thanks! Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,076 Posted December 27, 2023 Level 5* Share Posted December 27, 2023 Hi. So dumb question first - why do you want to open Evernote? To search your notes? There's a shortcut for that. To add a new note? There's one for that too - see the bottom of the left panel for details. In my case, right clicking the icon also gives me an "open Evernote" option...

Thanks, @gazumped. I'm aware of the shortcut options. I am looking for a one-click on the mouse way of doing it, as that's how I work, and that's how I did it for many years in v 6 and prior versions. As I recall, v6 gave one options as to the behavior of the tray icon when clicked. Perhaps it's just one more feature lost in transition to v10? Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,076 Posted December 27, 2023 Level 5* Share Posted December 27, 2023 So your main objection is that V10 doesn't do things the same way as V6? Good luck with that... 'Lost' is not really the case - 'changed' maybe? 'Improved' even? Link to comment
ln899 16 Posted December 27, 2023 Author Share Posted December 27, 2023 Possibly improved, if fewer options for the user to adapt the program to their work flow can be considered an improvement. I don't think "loss" is entirely inappropriate. Link to comment
Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 4,006 Posted December 27, 2023 Level 5 Share Posted December 27, 2023 There are actually one or more existing threads on this, with the same point: it used to work, I got used to it that way, I want it back. Not completely unreasonable. But clearly, since it's been requested and discussed for quite awhile, it's not coming back, and one will have to make do with 2 clicks, or other workarounds that have been suggested. Do a forums search to track them down. Link to comment
