Is there a way to search and replace things like hard returns, or other such format elements, in Evernote 10 (Win)? I am used to doing this in several Word Processors (for example, finding double paragraph breaks and replacing with single: ^p^p → ^p. Thanks.

Notes rearrange with lots of spaces.

Thanks. I'm aware there are workarounds such as using search and replace to remove the added padding. But as I say, with thousands of notes going back to (IIRC) version 4 of Evernote, it is too much to have to run search and replace on all of them. Especially when many of them are emails imported effortlessly using the direct evernote account email address. It makes the feature far less useful by adding additional steps, to say nothing of my already large archive of email in evernote. After all, the point of computers is that they should do work for one, not create more work for one to do. It's too bad that in version 10 the designers didn't stick closer to the formatting system of the older version. -

I don't have the time at present to deal with screenshots and such (also some of the content is confidential). I think you are correct that this is a need of the new version to change formatting. But the issue is the need for reformatting: If a program designed to maintain information can't preserve formatting (which is often part of the information's utility!) then it is of no use to me. I will keep using the legacy version for as long as I can. (And yes, I also don't like the new default font, and the inability to preserve fonts is an additional serious problem!) -

Almost every note I open in v10 (October 2022) has reformatted the text in this way, with blocks of six spaces added in every line. I have thousands of notes, and doing a search and replace on each one of them is out of the question. -
I keep trying to like v 10 over Legacy, but every time I start if I run into this nonsense of the tray icon wanting to create a new note. What I want to do is access my notes, not create a new one. The primary purpose of Evernote used to be just that. It's easy enough to create a new note if I want one, once I'm in the main program. But now it's two clicks to get there just to open it. IIRC the old Evernote had a global hotkey for creating a new note.

Thanks, Allen. I use it successfully on the Onyx Boox Note 2. As far as screen refresh, I can't speak to the Mars but the Onyx Boox Note has had a high-speed low-fidelity mode that even works for mono video. I wouldn't watch much video that way, but it does save packing an extra tablet. The ability to have multiple programs running makes it easy to cut and paste between an e-book volume and Evernote (or Google Docs).

Rec'd notification the topic went live again after a rest. 🙂 I am having no trouble using Evernote on the Onyx Boox, but I'm still using version 8.3x. I'm reluctant to "upgrade" to version 10 because of my bad experience of the "new" Evernote on Win10… I'm still using the Legacy Version on Windows due to loss of features in the newer version.

The fact that this is a standard feature of html going way back (not sure how far, but I know I used it years ago!) indicates this is a question of priority rather than possibility.

Hmmm. I've never signed up for Beta as far as I know. I see where Google Play offers an option to be a beta tester, but I've never done that for Evernote. I suppose this could be a regional thing. I just looked again and my Play Store is showing 8.2 with no mention of a beta, other than the option at the end of the screen to sign up for it. WHich I haven't done.... If I could gind 8.1 I'd install it, as that was the last working version.

Yes, I realize Evernote can't do it. That's why this is a feature request. It seems obvious to me that if you have a feature that merges notes, it would be useful to have a feature to split them. I have been using external scripting for this; but it is less than convenient. I have multi megabits of data that I would like to convert to Evernote.
