Check your Num Lk key is not on. On some laptop models this turn the FN key to persistent mode. Or its an option in the BIOS settings

Can you provide more details on how you're using Markdown syntax in Evernote for Windows

@DTLowThis guide provide a nice little reference to markdown. I've have been unconsciously using some of these without knowing. i.e. * for starting a bullet. 

https://markdown-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/basics.html

So today while looking into the 6.16.1 web version I discovered the reminder feature now opens a dialog box to set a reminder. More progress...

Hmm. I'm an android user and I have experienced this for a long time. But then I have a back button on the phone that asks if I want to discard my accidental changes. 

@gazumped IOS?

The problem is when you're not the only person using a computer. 

If you are using Windows, you can do like other users and create a separate login for each person who uses it, to avoid the others access your sensitive info.

Chrome and Edge now have dark modes you can set.

Have you tried the dark mode in Chrome and Edge?

Yea seems odd to get that popup. I have not seen any way to set reminders in the 6.15 web version. I have however found how to view reminders, via the filters.

How many of you think there are more features that you don't use in Evernote vs the features that you do?  I also would bet that as time goes on, those features are refined and narrowed down to fit one or a very small subset of consumers, albeit a subset that has a lot of money or else why would they do it?  Cause its all about money right?

 

I will agree to disagree. To me Evernote is not a task/note app, its a framework. A framework you build your style into for your own purpose. I use it for information storage and retrieval mostly, but very little workflow, except for some projects for myself. Task management is better managed in my Microsoft Todo app. Your argument can be applied to any of the product companies out there competing against Evernote. Each is adding functions and features, risking to be what I call the kitchen sink. Trying to be all things to all people at once because a few people shouted louder than the others. 

But you must do what is best for you. Find the app that fits your needs, and style. You don't sound like anything is holding you on with Evernote. So why argue to those who have found Evernote fits them?

I'm interested in details on the shortcut

I"m speaking as an Android user. Its an Evernote widget action item where you set it to create the note in that notebook.

Consider this; don't use a single list. I keep a notebook call purchases. In it is a note for each item I am considering purchasing. I will compare websites for an item and where I could get the best deal. I'll put links to the item in the note.  I also use the tags to tag the store where I would purchase them. Or I may just clip the page and put it in that note so I know the store sku number and maybe the aisle its in. If I am in the area of a store, I search for that tag to see if there was something I wanted to purchase there. Consequently, I also have a shortcut on my phone that allows me to quickly add an item to that notebook of something that I need to purchase later or research for purchase. (Really useful since I have a child headed to college)

Otherwise, you could look at any EN or non-EN shopping list and replicate it in EN easily.

So I checked that briefly. There's still some problems and bugs but it was wonderful experience. 

• Bad spreadsheet feature. Just I cannot use it.

If it was a wonderful experience, and it fits your needs, what is stopping you?

Spreadsheet feature? What spreadsheet feature?

I use both search options. Particularly when I get too many results that I know are not relevant. I switch to intitle: and it narrows down the results. To narrow it down further, I then add tag:. I will also use created: a lot. Those are the three top search options for me.

I couldn't duplicate it myself. Clear your cache possibly?

I don't see this happening. Evernote is a software company who develops the app for multiple platforms. The platforms are best left to the other experts. With so many devices on the market, entry would be costly.

Two reasons: desktop performance, as I have an older machine. And better search results for myself. 

Approx 6500 since 2011 but I annually clean out notes.

I see this repeated so much in the forums.    "It's a poor design because Evernote doesn't have my feature."

I have many years of receipts from my life and business. Is there a way to scan so OCR sees the date and time of the actual receipt and has that available for later programmatic use? Most processes scan and store by scan date and time. That wouldn’t be practical for future retrieval.

If said original date and time were available, another process could file the receipt by date into a folder specified before the scan run. (One month per scan run; half-yearly folders in one stack)

Otherwise I’d have to start now and even my January and February receipts to date wouldn’t be in Evernote.

I use a left over portable Neat scanner to scan in my receipts. I use the desktop app and modify the created date to match the receipt date, as I scan them in at the end of the month. This allows me to sort the receipts chronologically, and find receipts by date using the created date search option. 

How did you pair your Evernote to Assistant? I currently use IFTTT to save notes.

I found there is a Whats New menu option when you click your name in the upper left. 

The web version seem to have reached a point where it is usable, minus a few features. I'm missing the edit created date, which I heavily used.

Good suggestion Dave. I created a PDF document without the OCR function and brought it into my desktop app. Then synced it. 

What I noticed was the desktop app could already find the document by using keywords inside the PDF before it synced. It was my understanding PLUS account can't search for PDF documents contents, only PREMIUM accounts. This seems more like a built in function of the desktop app, which I was not aware of. A nice bonus.

After waiting a while, the android and web versions do not find the document by its content so the account features for PLUS versus PREMIUM are working as designed. Its just the desktop app that functions differently.

I know what you mean, and I do find the active search as you type usefull, but this is after hitting the magnifying glass. I'm just surprised also to find this happening in the web client.

I am online, but do not use offline notebooks. 

I see what you mean as I get the same result in the web version, it only finds the document with the keyword in the title.
