Not me, I can't stand dark mode. It is horrible for my eyes and gives me a headache. -

RFLOL We will let you pick your own other color. -
Momofthrees started following Thumbnail image not updating windows 10, evernote 10.74.1

In order to have divider lines besides the one choice we have, I have created image files that I use as dividers. But when I replaced all the images in a note, the thumbnail for that image is still the old image. I checked on my iphone and the thumbnail there has updated, so it's just a bug on the Windows version.

Why do we have to choose? Let the user pick the colors and I can have pink on purple if that works for me. -
Why would I pay more for a Professional Subscription to solve a problem I don't have. You were the one with the issue of how I use tags, not me. My issue was being able to move them to their Stack, which was solved yesterday by another user.

Dave, You are correct. That's what I get for posting off the top of my head and not looking in EN. It is 1000 and I have 859. Not sure where my brain got 200 from. So yes, I am still almost at the time. Most ancestor stacks have 5-6 notebooks, so I basically can add 23-28 new surnames before I hit the max.
-
So, let's say I want to know every census source I have for 1850 Davidson County, TN. I search for 1850 and Davidson County and Tennessee. I get 198 documents. Or I go to my 1850 Census M432 Roll 0875 (Davidson County, TN) tag and I get 8 results. The 8 results I needed on the first try over 5 different family groups.

Searching has never worked effectively for me. Because the bulk of my notes have images with 1800s cursive, EN tries to OCR and sends tons of negative hits. Sometimes the handwriting is so bad it is barely readable. By tagging both the source note and microfilm note and ancestral note, I can in seconds get the information I need and only the information I need.
-
I am not. I saw that a few months ago and posted it to another forum and two days later it was back to 200 and I don't want to run out and not be able to create ones I definitly need like a new surname folder at some point. I sure hope you are right though!

Really stack/nest. Symantics. I do have a system for nesting tags. I mainly use notebooks for sorting documents, but since I am limited 200 notebooks, I have to get creative. I am at 190 now, in case you are wondering. I use Evernote only for genealogy and have 30+ years of research, both family and locations in Evernote. Years ago, everyone was told to use tags because they could be nested and you had more. But frankly, it doesn't work all that well for me on my phone. I find it a bit clunky to be honest. But I still keep both systems going because OCD. Just weekend before last, I visited the state archives and copied deed index books for one ancestal line. Once I had entered the information both found and not found, I had covered 146 microfilms. And found 28 need deeds. So 174 notes (146 for microfilms 28 for the new deeds), and yes, 146 new tags. (Microfilm notes and deed notes get the same Microfilm tag, creating a cross index of documents found on a specific roll of microfilm over time.) Here's a real tag nest (and if we can ever nest notebooks more than one level deep, I will adopt something similar). For each county I research, the state archives has about 1000 microfilm rolls, so eventually, if I live 15 lives I could easily have 6000 tags just for microfilms alone. Add in maps, County Histories, a few more states, and you can see where my system gets big quickly! It could be overkill, but it works for me and keeps all the research organized. And this was way more information than you wanted >Family Files Father >Family Files Mother >State Research >>Research in Tennesssee >>>Davidson County >>>>Davidson County Books >>>>Davidson County Microfilm >>>>> Davidson County 001 Deed Book A-C >>>>>Davidson County 002 Deed Book D-F >>>Lincoln County >>>>Lincoln County Microfilm >>>>>Lincoln County 001...

That works great if the tag is right next to the tag you want to stack it in, but I have probably 1000 tags so I have to drag it through pages to get to the correct stack. Legacy did this so well, and if it were still available, I'd literally go over there, do what I need and then come back to 10 like I used to do. Not being able to bulk move tags is a big issue for a product that is supposed to help me do everything more efficiently. But thanks for your response. At least I know I was doing it right.
