Folks here agree with you, but we are not Evernote, just other users, unable to fix things. You can email feedback@evernote.com, -
Some operations too slow in v10
Dave-in-Decatur replied to kitley's topic in Evernote General Discussions
They're definitely hard at work removing friction points. For instance, the handy gear icon to access settings at the top of the left panel disappeared with the new UI. Some report that the arrows to go forward and backward among notes in that same region is also gone. So much less friction. 😆 -
Title column is too narrow after Evernote upgrade
Dave-in-Decatur replied to jbenson2's topic in Evernote General Discussions
This will not be a useful suggestion, only an observation. In Legacy, some users seem to have developed what seem (to me) to be edge cases, such as extremely long titles, workflows dependent on editing the updated or creation dates of notes, etc. There are always good reasons to do this at the time, but they are rather pushing the limits of the data fields. In v. 10, these limits seem to be stricter, and not as friendly to such (IMHO) edge cases. There are some discussions in the forum of possible ways of maintaining Legacy as an archive of past notes on an offline computer. If that can work, you could perhaps maintain the older records there for easier viewing and access, and begin creating new records using a different method. -
Even more clicks to highlight something now
Dave-in-Decatur replied to notetakeingguy's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Nope. Too bad. It could be soooo useful round here. 😅 -
Check Tools > Settings, Notes, scroll down to Note width. Is it set to Optimize readability? Often setting it to Fit to window fixes this. (And no, they absolutely shouldn't set it to Optimize readability for us, and no, it doesn't actually optimize readability.)

Dave-in-Decatur replied to notetakeingguy's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Take a look at the first few posts of the thread: the problem is that when the AI EDIT button is put onto the right end of the toolbar in versions prior to 10.80.3, it comes with a massive amount of padding on the left side (or something like that), so that all the formatting tools from Highlight forward have to go into the More button. Apparently this is fixed in 10.80.3. -
I agree with every bit of this (except the assumption that Evernote is here to be addressed). There is a kludge (not even worth being called a workaround): type a space after every / (the menu will pop up on /, disappear on space); then when you're done typing do a search-and-replace (Ctrl+H) and replace every /[space] with /. Uck. Yich. Grrrr.

Not sure if we're saying the same thing, but when I type and/or, the menu pops up on /, on "o" shows all options with an "o" in their names, then on "r" all options with "or" in their names (i.e. Audio recording), and only disappears on the next character. Actually, it doesn't disappear once you've typed something that's not on the menu; "Add an element" stays even when there are no elements to add. It only goes away when you type a separator (space or punctuation). If you're a touch typist and not looking at the keyboard, this is phenomenally distracting, since you're used to monitoring what appears on the screen to see if you typed correctly, and when that mess pops up your long-trained typing functions say "Wait, I didn't do that"--this is just brain linkages working, and will take quite awhile to untrain. 😡

It doesn't seem to be per version but per you-win-the-UI-lottery selection. If you get it, that would not be the day to buy an actual lottery ticket. Fortunately, it has still not shown up for me. -
Nope, I just double checked and Evernote doesn't have this. They really like people to keep updated, because of security and bug fixes. For people who frequently quit Evernote and restart it, or restart their computers, the updating that happens then can cause an interruption, and it probably would be good to just add the management option. And then prepare for the tide of complaints here from people who turn it off, never update manually, and wonder when the bugs are ever going to be fixed.

Dave-in-Decatur replied to notetakeingguy's topic in Evernote General Discussions
I am definitely sticking with v. 10.79 awhile longer. Collapsible sections aren't a big need for me anyway. Of course, on the Web client there's no choice. Also no arrows, but maybe that's because the browser takes care of that. -
Collapsible sections coming to Evernote
Dave-in-Decatur replied to ferol's topic in Evernote General Discussions
This would be great, but it seems to cross the border between a "note" and a "document." I wonder if Evernote will go there; but perhaps with the new sync structure the need to keep notes at a moderate length is no more. -

V. 10.80.3 seems to have taken care of a number of bugs and errors, acknowledged and unacknowledged, including this one, so if this is a big problem it might be worth downloading from https://evernote.com/download. -
@affectski, I've seen someone else with a note that has a lot of (now collapsible) bullet lists report the exact same phenomenon. The collapsibility seems to be causing it. Don't know if it's a "bug" or just poor implementation (if there's a difference), but probably worth reporting to support: https://www.evernote.com/SupportLogin.action.

Opening a new window after all windows have closed
Dave-in-Decatur replied to Chris_42's question in General Technical Issues
On Windows there's also a global Search command, Shift+Win+F. That will reopen the main Evernote window, and of course put you in the Search box. The Evernote Help pages say Ctrl ⌘ E would do the same on a Mac. -
Gear icon for settings gone
Dave-in-Decatur replied to Dave-in-Decatur's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Or why clutter the interface with a menu at all? Just a little hamburger stack at top left.... we've just seen that tried and withdrawn, but I wonder if it will be back. As for the gear, it was pretty small and unobtrusive, and it's really a common direct-access icon in a lot of apps. But I'll live. -
Shocking increase in plan price
Dave-in-Decatur replied to binHEX's topic in Evernote General Discussions
And here I agree with you. One of Evernote's best points, I think, has always been its flexibility for use by many people in many different endeavors. It did render it complex, and it tempted people to want it to be better specialized, for coding, for example, or for writing a novel (seriously). -

Dave-in-Decatur replied to binHEX's topic in Evernote General Discussions
I keep seeing statements like this, sometimes with examples, often without. Can you give some specific examples of functions with no use case? Bearing in mind that just because you don't use it, that doesn't mean there is no use case. I never frown at anyone's struggles, I hope, and I've tried to give helpful responses even to some fairly rudely asked questions about how to use v. 10 as people migrate to it from Legacy. What I don't care for are pleas that nothing ever change, new features never be added, syncing never be improved, etc., especially when these are accompanied by abusive remarks about Evernote's owners and developers, or about people who do find v. 10 useful. -

Dave-in-Decatur replied to notetakeingguy's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Actually, most people around here (including me) seem to be raving at the new interface (meaning the UI changes introduced earlier this year. WRT more clicks for highlighting, are you talking about the spread of blank space introduced between the editing tools (with highlight hidden under More) and the new AI EDIT button? (As in the screen clip below.) This has been noted by several people, and there are reports that it is fixed in v. 10.80.3 (haven't updated to that yet). Can you say more about "how it takes longer to take and move notebooks"? -
forced upgrades + impossible interface = death
Dave-in-Decatur replied to kiwiads's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Sigh. Good luck with this, @Cristiano478.
