Please allow AI to be turned off
Dave-in-Decatur replied to 1dufflebag's topic in Evernote General Discussions
@ebtihal, I'm in a comparable situation. I craft notes related to household matters, but many more related to research or ideas for writing about interests of mine. They are not notes meant for immediate publication, or to be shared with fellow employees, supervisors, clients, etc., needing bullet points or changes of tone. Nor does their grammar need improving, I guarantee you. If I never click the AI button, that should be enough to keep it from getting in my way. To have an icon pop up on random chunks of selected text that won't leave even while I'm formatting them or doing something else with them, is far too aggressive of an intrusion into my processes. -
"Created:" above note title from Legacy
Dave-in-Decatur replied to discreet's topic in Evernote General Discussions
I don't think so. That and other note information is displayed with Ctrl+Shift+I, or from the ... menu at top right, or from the Note menu, then "View note info." -

Sorry, but this is no longer true. Whether it's something in v. 10.81.4 or something switched on in the back end, selecting text will regularly pop up an AI Edit icon in the note with the same functions as the button. If I type the words "IMPORTANT: To secure" and select it, the icon pops up every time. If the "IMPORTANT" is not boldfaced, it will not. Similar apparent randomness occurs in other text selection, but sooner or later you will get this popup. -
Wow, I can't seem to avoid the AI Edit stuff (don't know about cleanup). The AI Edit button should be at the right end of the editing toolbar. Or try selecting more than 3 or 4 words of text--it will pop up an AI Edit icon to distract from anything you may have actually wanted to do with that text. If you're not seeing these, which version number are you on?

Evernote legacy ending on 2024-03-23

Another thing that's been said a million times: Evernote 10 creates a new notes database, and downloading everything can take awhile if you've got a lot of large notes. Once it's downloaded, things speed up. Evernote 10 uses a different data structure from v. 6, and every time an old note is opened it takes a few seconds to convert to the new structure. After that, it will open faster. -

Unable to access notes on app offline

Thanks! I can confirm this fix. -

The latest update (v. 10.81.4) fixes this by removing the extra space. But I totally agree about not wanting AI, and esp. hate that whenever you select more than a certain number of words (or characters) it pops up an AI Edit icon for you to click. It's a small number too. This may be worse than the / command popup. -
Whenever I download a "latest" exe file (and that really is a peculiar and aggravating thing to name it IMHO), I check the file's properties, and in the Details tab is the proper version number. Then I rename the file to include that number. I keep a few installers around in case an update introduces a drastic problem. @shlifs, I agree that having all the release notes collapsed under their numbers like that is a problem. I sometimes want to know when a particular feature or fix was introduced.

Yes, there is a long-running thread about it: I filed a support ticket last year, and they said they were passing it on to the developers. When nothing happened, I asked again last month and was told "Rest assured, your concern has been noted and reported to our developers. While we may not have an immediate solution at hand, please know that we're working hard to prevent any such issues from arising in the future. Enhancing the user experience of Evernote remains a top priority for us." So blah blah, but they do know about it and are working on it, but no way of knowing how soon it will be fixed.

Welcome to the forums. It's other users here, not Evernote staff. Thanks for shouting, though; we might not have understood you otherwise. The Plus plan was discontinued 3 years ago. Meaning that for 3 years, you were getting a substantial discount. They allowed people who were on it to stay on it at the same price, but never said it would last forever.

Evernote legacy ending on 2024-03-23
Dave-in-Decatur replied to Alxa's topic in Evernote General Discussions
All I can say is that the first example is definitely a bug, but I personally have not experienced it (unless the experience has vanished from my brain, which I admit has bugs of its own). The second bug I can generally fix by backing out of the note and returning to it--almost every time, but not quite--but yes, it's a bug, and needs to be fixed. The 3rd item was acknowledged as a bug and fixed in a matter of days, as I recall. I can't speak to #4. 1. I don't have much experience regarding this, since I don't print much from Evernote. To try to understand it, I just tried printing a note that has a page of text and what should be a 2-page Web clip. It printed: the page of text; a p. with "Web clip" at the top and nothing else; the 2 pages of the clip, but with a few rows of a table missing; a blank page. So buggy, yes. Of course, Web clips simplified for editing print OK, though that's not always what's needed. In my limited experience Evernote generally prints what I need. It certainly has problems sometimes, but to say it "simply doesn't work" is the kind of exaggeration that makes these discussions difficult. 2. I just exported a note consisting entirely of 5 images to PDF, and it worked fine. 3.-4. I also don't have experience with HTML export. I don't think anyone has claimed that v. 10 was without bugs. Anyone who used versions 6 and prior for any length of time will remember the bugs that they had, and the long, long times it took to get some of them fixed. I invite anyone who doesn't mind getting their rose-colored glasses a little fogged to browse through the forum for those versions (https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/forum/225-evernote-for-windows-issues-versions-6251-and-under/), starting around the middle of 2020 (before v. 10 was released) and working backward. The level of criticism leveled at v. 10 now is no greater than what v. 6 received back then. Software has bugs. Sometimes they take a long time to get fixed. When a software company gets purchased and existing staff are let go, it can take a very long time for new support and technical staff to get things working well. Evernote is in the middle of all that. Such is my viewpoint. And that's it for me in this thread. It turns out I have actual work to get done in the coming months, and I need to step back from these forums for awhile. I'll probably pop in occasionally, esp. if I run into any issues myself. I truly wish everyone the best of luck in the weeks ahead. -

Dave-in-Decatur replied to Alxa's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Every discussion here is subjective (despite anyone's claim to the contrary). I really don't think there's a single function of Legacy that I miss personally (not that I remember it that well, TBH), and I like the features of v. 10 that Legacy lacked (not only consistency across platforms, but, for instance, backlinks). But that is due to my own needs, experiences, and expectations. There are people who did things with Legacy that I didn't, and for them the loss of some features really is a problem. But that doesn't make v. 10 useless overall. As for "buggy," that's something that almost needs to be defined every time one uses it. Does it mean "a function that doesn't work as it is planned to" (my understanding)? Or "a function that is poorly implemented" (subjective, but for instance the / commands with their everlasting nags)? Or "a feature that is missing" (which is not a bug at all IMHO)? Ferol's list is almost entirely feature requests of various kinds, with only a relatively small section labeled "bugs" at the end. So "buggy" may boil down to "has features, and will have new features, that I don't care for, but lacks functions that I need." -
New UI - Experiences Bad and Good
Dave-in-Decatur replied to bmcl26's topic in Evernote General Discussions
I agree, that would be great. The question is whether it could be implemented in, say, the Windows desktop client and in the mobile apps as well, where these things are arranged rather differently. Of course the width of the toolbar is somewhat device dependent anyway. BTW, I notice in your screenshot above that you have the note collapsed rather than expanded (double-headed arrow at top left). Here's my toolbar, showing all tools visible, in the desktop app in a window that mostly fills a 17" laptop screen, with the note expanded (which hides the center panel; almost the same can be achieved by collapsing the left panel with F10):
