Sapabt 0 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hi everyone, I opened a support request #873804 back in January. After several emails with support, my issue was identified as a bug and turned over to the devs. Since then, there's been an update, but the bug isn't fixed. I feel the bug is kinda critical, the windows app doesn't remember my snippet sort settings between reboots. I figure if the app can't remember something simple like a sort setting, how can I be sure it saves my data accurately? It used to work, but was broken in a previous update. How can I check to see where this but is on the “to-do” list, or if it's even being worked on? I've see references on this forum, from google searches that it's existed since about 2011. I really like the app, it makes my life much easier, but leaving simple to fix bugs like this unfixed doesn't give me a warm fuzzy about the app. I'm premium for a while longer, but I have cancelled my auto-renewal due to this.

Level 5* jefito 5,589 Posted March 7, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted March 7, 2015 If this is the Windows client, it's sort of a long-standing gotcha. The workaround (that usually works), is to set your sort setting the way that you like it, and then exit Evernote via FIle / Exit. When you restart, it should have remembered it (it's a registry setting), You may be set from there on out; I don't have this problem: I can set the sort setting, and it stays sticky. As this is a local configuration setting, it's not really related to anything to do with syncing, but I understand what you're saying there. With respect to your actual question, there is no public source for what Evernote is working on. Occasionally an employee will chime in with a "yep, we're actively working on that", but that's rare, and they generally don't give out ETAs. Link to comment

I tried several work arounds with the support fella, one of them worked, but not anymore. I got adventurous and changed them and tried to change them back. Now I'm stuck on a reverse alpha sort by date. I really want a straight alpha sort by title. Makes it easier to find things. Oh well, as I said on the cancellation form, this gets fixed, I'll return to premium. Not gonna pay for something it'd take a dev less than an hour to fix. (I coded for a living back in the '70s. Sheesh, I'm old) Cheers, bt Link to comment
