Find and Replace has been implemented in Version 10

Umm, how do you get this to work?

Mine shows the "Replace" and "Replace all" buttons deactivated.

(version: 10.21.5-mac-ddl-public (2931))

I know! It took me a while to find the buttons, too. What a design fault!

I attach screenshots below that show where they hid them.

Where are you all even finding the option to indent? I’d assumed they’d just removed it and was shopping for a new note program. I can’t find it and now I feel like an idiot.

 

(has anyone from Evernote every actually used their own program? Making notes organized is critical. Without the ability to tab/indent this might as well be just a line-edit raw text tool.. who decided that cleanly organized notes was a low priority and hid the function? Why? Ps You can’t let programmers make GUI decisions; they’re not equipped for it.)

Looks like they fixed this issue (but only partially) by adding the bullet point button in the tool bar in the edit mode.

But they still left the indentation button hidden requiring three taps to make an indentation and come back to the text keyboard.

I am sure whoever is managing the development of the text editor doesn't seem to use Evernote to edit text.

If you think about it, what needs more access is actually the indentation buttons, rather than the bullet point button.

When someone makes a bullet point list, more often needed is a way to give hierarchy by indentation, rather than completely going out of one bullet list and creating another.

If Evernote is monitoring this forum, could the indentation buttons also be moved (back) to the tool bar in the next round of update? What's better always is giving the user freedom to *customize* the tool bar, please.

Thanks.

I was also very frustrated by how bulllets worked. I have learned something new though that has helped. If you type an asterisk + space at the beginning of a new line, it turns into a bullet automatically. Then Tab will indent the bullet. Also, typing the two square brackets “[]” will convert automatically to a checkbox. Hope this helps until Evernote fixes this glaring UI issue.

Thanks for your tip. 

But it seems that it requires 4 key strokes, as opposed to 2 the other way, in first starting a bullet list; or am I missing something?

Also, how do you Tab in iOS?

Thanks!

Yes, extremely disturbing, both aspects you mentioned!

An Evernote employee actually said that they were working on this above (karahodecker) -- It's been 5 months already. Any update on this, please?

Evernote need to sit up and take notice. This is a very retrograde step and has slowed me down completely. My only option is to take the note in an unstructured format. If they don't fix this quickly, I will be looking at other options. 

 

Yes, exactly.

What I do now, instead of indentation, is pressing the space bar. How ridiculous!

Yes, PLEASE! This was the first thing I noticed (to be very annoying) after updating the app.

I used to write notes during a meeting real-time with the bullet list + indentation, but now having to tap twice for everything it's almost impossible to catch up the speed.

Reverting back to the previous layout would be the first step; even better is allowing the user to customize the bar so that one can add favorite shortcuts and remove/hide rarely used ones.

This is a late reply, but normally when there's conflict between two versions of the same note, Evernote does either of the following:

- saves both notes, one as the original note, the other as a copy in a different notebook, usually named something like "conflicted note - date/time".

- saves both note contents in the same (original) note, with a divider in between.

The first case happens when the conflict occurs in the desktop version,

and the second case happens when the conflict occurs in the iPhone or iPad version.

So in the OP's case, since the older version note from iPhone synced to the server first, and the conflict must have occurred when the newer version on desktop tried to sync, it's likely that the first case would have happened.

This is based on my experience, and I haven't had issues with sync overriding my newer version of notes.
