You're about to become very popular. 😁 WRT "Do not change the date and time of editing if the note is only being viewed," that bug is currently squashed (in my experience), though I wouldn't be surprised to see it come back again.

Mike P 2,982 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 From your list: Quote ENEX export in v.10 - import does not preserve note creation date Provided you have chosen in the export process to include the creation date I find it keeps the creation date on import. Link to comment

BLK Dragon 29 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I can one thing to the list (since I'm forced to use v10 soon and old problems are still there) : shortcuts. Shortcuts are not really shortcuts in v10. 'Shortcut' is when you do single click and go to the note or notebook. Not scrolling large list and picking smth buried in list of notebook, not going to home-screen and picking from tiny scrollable window (on a large 4K display, yeah), but doing single click. There was an option once to show shortcuts on the toolbar under menu (on a macbook at least) - so it can be optional, because I can already hear "oh but only 1% of users want this" Link to comment

ferol 530 Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 5 minutes ago, BLK Dragon said: Môžem uviesť jednu vec (keďže som čoskoro nútený používať v10 a staré problémy sú stále tam): skratky. Skratky v skutočnosti nie sú skratky vo verzii 10. „Skratka“ znamená, že jediným kliknutím prejdete na poznámku alebo poznámkový blok. Nie rolovanie vo veľkom zozname a vyberanie vecí zahrabaných v zozname notebooku, nechodenie na domovskú obrazovku a vyberanie z malého rolovacieho okna (na veľkom 4K displeji, áno), ale jedno kliknutie. Kedysi bola možnosť zobraziť skratky na paneli s nástrojmi v ponuke (aspoň na macbooku) - takže to môže byť voliteľné, pretože už počujem "och, ale len 1% používateľov to chce" 1 Link to comment
KoZz 121 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 The ability to update the UPDATE date/time stamp field in v10.. it's super important that we can do this especially considering the software updates notes when they are not updated.. I for one use this all the time and is the most used feature I'm using in legacy at the moment. I'm going to email support as well 2 Link to comment

Legacy doesn't do that... maintains this. I installed Legacy today to take advantage of it one last time... Of course after assigning a Tag it changes, but just a pure import does not. And subsequently renaming the imported notebook also preserves the original data on the notes. Link to comment

It's a very good list you put together there man.... Shame we can't export our entire database like we can in Legacy.. using the shift ctrl E method after you sign out at the splash screen.. This was the only way I could sleep well at night knowing that I had a complete backup of all my notes in their respective folders. Maybe they should add this feature back to v10 and when performing the backup , it can pull everything down from the cloud!!! (edited: worded better ) 2 Link to comment
Mike P 2,982 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 It would be nice to have a way of going straight to shortcuts if you are scrolled way down in tags for example. I guess there is no keyboard shortcut because there is no pop out panel unlike notebooks or tags. Certainly not a major issue for me. I have other stategies including knowing the keyboard shortcuts for my most important shortcuts (ctrl+1 etc). Link to comment

Theoretically, you can work around this by using the online version in a separate browser and having Bookmaks on the bar with these things highlighted... but it opens a separate tab each time... and it can stay open... I use Evernote this way sometimes when I need to have 10 notes open at once and I don't want to keep it in separate windows. I have the main Windows app open and the web version on a secondary monitor.. The advantage is that in each window I can also switch the way of displaying Cards, Snippets, Side list, Top list...

Razmataz 229 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 If I paste a list (separated by a new line) of http links as text (note that it has to be CTRL-SHIFT-V then, normal CTRL-V gives you garbage), they are not turned into hotlinks anymore. If one presses ENTER, the last one (and only that) will be turned into a hotlink. In legacy simple CRL-V turns the link into hotlinks (due to their syntax). All of them. See: Link to comment

(Why remove a feature??) In Legacy, if I had a note open as a window with (application) links to other notes, clicking on a link would open the linked note in that window. Alternatively, I could right click and choose to either open as a tab in the same window, or open the note in its own window. In v10, clicking on a link within a note seems to return to the home screen with the linked note open in preview (which hardly ever works on the first click, and is then slow to load). Right clicking only offers the "open" option, which does the same thing as clicking on the link. This is putting a serious damper on my workflow. A helpful user pointed out to me that one can CTRL-click on a link and it will open in a new window. This is slightly better than the return to the main screen option, but it's still a workaround that requires several extra steps.. Hovering over note links in v10 creates a pop-up which makes it difficult to actually click on the link. Can't initiate a sync in v10. (At least as far as I can tell...) There is no support for paying customers anymore. 1 Link to comment

Jon/t 1,667 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 One unpopular thing to kind of remember is that V10 wasn't meant to be a replica of Legacy. They removed functionality that was hardly used so some of the items will probably never come back as very few used them. 3 Link to comment

Level 5 PinkElephant 8,839 Posted February 27 Level 5 Share Posted February 27 You can show the "Location" = notebook in the list of notes. Or you simply have a note from that notebook open.

Razmataz 229 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 This is a minor one, but it would be so easy to change… If you add a tag and start typing it, the list narrows down and once you have only one left, you just select it by pressing ENTER. Try that with the list of notebook if you want to move a note to another one. At the top of the note you can do that. Fine. BUt even if you typed enough and there is only one notebook left, you can't simply press ENTER. You need to select that only one, then you can press ENTER. Link to comment

Or you simply have a note from that notebook open. If you want to have only this notebook selected, just click on the notebooks name in the field above the open note. This will toggle the whole list to show only this notebooks content. Pardon me, this is in reference to which post? Link to comment
Razmataz 229 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 1 hour ago, s2sailor said: Some options are still there: This is almost good enough, but needs to be selected every time when you merge notes. In legacy it was an option an could be set as default. Why every time? BTW: V10 doesn't like Options or Settings. It must be a "design thing". I submit that they are very useful. And it is certainly a bad idea to force user to pick options every time, instead of being able to set a default for them. Link to comment

In legacy, it popped down, you could start typing and narrowing down the list. Without going to the panel, finding the list of notebooks, expanding it, finding the notebook you mean. Doable in V10, just very cumbersome. Another option, which I don't use often enough, is to use the Switch function, which will let you quickly start typing the name of a note, notebook, or tag to bring up a list and go to the one you want. The only problem is it's only accessible (I think) through a keyboard shortcut, and the default is Ctrl+Q, and that is also used (slaps forehead) for justifying text and quitting. I customized it to Ctrl+S, and it's really useful when I remember it. EDIT: So, @ferol, a formal request to add to the list: do not allow keyboard shortcuts to refer to more than one function. 1 Link to comment

And there's some other selector dialog where you have to tab down to the desired item and hit the spacebar. @ferol, I hope you're getting all this. 😅 1 Link to comment

Razmataz 229 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 BTW, merging 3 simple notes takes 30 seconds (!) on my not very old laptop. Can someone test how fast merging is for you? thanks. Link to comment
VincentC 352 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 About three microseconds. Or, in other words, basically the blink of an eye, on both my Win 11 desktop and laptop. I can't help but think there is something about your own system hardware that is not quite right, or your database is less than pristine. But it is very fast for me. Vinnie Link to comment
Razmataz 229 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Thank you. I'll just reboot. Link to comment
VincentC 352 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I hope that fixes it!! Vinnie Link to comment
Razmataz 229 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Attachments have an "Open" menu item on the context menu. But they do not have an "Open with" option anymore. If you need to open a file with another app as the system default, you have to download the attachment and do it on your O/S. Link to comment

Yup, it’s not 100% fixed yet, but it is rare enough that it doesn’t bother me and it typically only affects one note now and not multiples. Link to comment
Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 4,006 Posted February 27 Level 5 Share Posted February 27 I should say that a couple of times I've looked at notes in either the Windows desktop or Android app, seen them appear at the top of the list as if they'd been recently edited, and then a few minutes later appear back to their proper places. That's bizarre. Link to comment
ferol 530 Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 @Dave-in-Decatur @Razmataz I'm a little lost, but I'll put something like this in there: In Legacy, very fast filtering was used, for example of notebooks. If I had multiple laptops, I could just start typing and gradually the list would get smaller and clearer, so that the appropriate notebook could be found quickly. The same was true for the list of notes. You just had to start typing some words from a given note and the list was continuously narrowed down. The current filtering and search procedure is considerably slower. OK? Link to comment

Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 4,006 Posted February 27 Level 5 Share Posted February 27 6 hours ago, kkarney said: In Legacy, if I had a note open as a window with (application) links to other notes, clicking on a link would open the linked note in that window. Alternatively, I could right click and choose to either open as a tab in the same window, or open the note in its own window. In v10, clicking on a link within a note seems to return to the home screen with the linked note open in preview (which hardly ever works on the first click, and is then slow to load). Right clicking only offers the "open" option, which does the same thing as clicking on the link. This is putting a serious damper on my workflow. A helpful user pointed out to me that one can CTRL-click on a link and it will open in a new window. This is slightly better than the return to the main screen option, but it's still a workaround that requires several extra steps.. Someone has created an idea in the feature request forum on this topic. Might be good to vote it up: Link to comment

That's bizarre. This sounds like timing issues with real-time-sync. I bet these issues don't occur during testing where BS developers probably have a high speed connection to their test servers (up- and downstream) so these issues don't show up. In the real world with sometimes shabby, asymmetric connections timing issues come to bear. The fact that these problems are only sporadically popping up rules out 'standard' software bugs because they would occur regularly / with all users on the same software base. Just my thoughts but for me this makes sense ... Link to comment

bulletproof 3 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Here's my 2 Cents on what Features are MISSING / BORKED in Evernote v10 that are PRESENT / WORKING in Evernote 7.14 Legacy. These are the Main REASONS I use Evernote Legacy! BETTER: Static Search: Doesn’t Change Shape, and Cursor Position, when Clicking. Note Notebook Management: Clicking Name to Move, Clicking Arrow to Go To. Easy Add / See / Change Tags Easy Date / URL Accessibility Easy Add Note to Current Notebook Easy Share Button Easy Options Button BETTER EDITOR: More Fonts Available More Font Customization Simple Single-Click Editor Menu!!! BETTER DATE / URL MANAGEMENT Date Accepts Copy / Paste instead of Stupid “Date Picker" Simple URL Edits can be Updated / Added / Removed Simple Note Details Edits can be Updated / Added / Changed Side Note: If you are a Dev, and your "updated" product adds Clicks / Taps / Steps to a Task that only required a Single Click / Tap / Step in the previous version, it is a disservice to the Customer. 2 1 Link to comment

I uninstalled my Windows client from the MS Appstore, downloaded the same version (10.77.3) from the Evernote website and installed it. These merge option seem to be now sticky. That would solve the problem. Also: I can now copy the tag list of a note consistently (fingers crossed), albeit without visual feedback. (To copy the tag list: click on the first tag, SHIFT-click on the last, press CTRL-C, go to the other note, click into the tag list and press CTRL-V. There is no visual feedback for this (what a blunder!) but it works.) I looked at the Windows clipboard, it is a comma separated list. What remains is this: one cannot paste this list into the filter function (to search for other notes with the same tags). There, the list is not accepted as input. Link to comment

Just a thought, but if this list is presented as what is in Legacy but missing from v10 then I don’t think Evernote will be interested. V10 is a new product and I doubt they are interested in making a Legacy clone. If this list is limited to feature enhancements, especially those that may benefit a wide audience, or potentially gain them new users, then, I think there may be a greater chance in getting their interest and attention. 3 Link to comment

Everyone seems to be forgetting that part. For most people, v10 is the closest to Legacy out there. If you can find something that works better for you, go for it. Camping out here in the forum angry, and tossing out snide remarks is a waste of your time and will not change the outcome. 3 Link to comment
