Well said. The complaint "it's just a note-taking app, it doesn't need all that stuff" comes up all the time, usually either from people like you who really don't need all the bells and whistles, or from people who do want a bell or two and several whistles, but don't way to pay accordingly. I first started using Evernote to take notes on my own thoughts and ideas, but quickly discovered it could do much more. I still use it for some household to-do lists (what I really need is an app that then goes ahead and does the stuff on the list, why doesn't somebody make that?), but I'm happy willing to pay for the higher-end features.

I think the only way to do this would be to tag the quote with a meaningless string of characters, not likely to be found elsewhere, that Evernote could locate in a search, such as qte. Evernote's search really only finds letters and numbers, so unfortunately special characters like # ^ | would not work.

It might help, @Razmataz, if you could explain why you need two copies of the identical attachment with different dates. For me, that's counter-intuitive (which, I guess, just shows how much intuition is worth).

Yes, I also see it even though I have the software installed. Do you mean that you can't see all the notebook names? That might well be the case, even without the notification, on a smaller laptop. Actually, I have a 17-inch laptop and 38 notebooks, and I can't see all the notebooks without scrolling, with or without the notification. For whatever reason, they've decided that everyone has to see this, even if we already have the app. There's nothing we can do to remove it. Your best option is to express your complaint to feedback@evernote.com. That email address only receives feedback; you won't get a response, but hopefully they'll take your feedback into account.

My viewpoint: For people who only need "a note-taking app," Evernote is probably over-featured and over-priced. For people who want to gather information from Websites and print media (including OCR of PDFs and images for indexing), capture their own thoughts in real time, begin crafting that into new writing, and then search it all and be able to organize it with tags, notebooks, links, and backlinks (plus maybe connect to calendars and attach tasks to notes), and do all that on multiple platforms with a reasonably uniform set of features and interface, Evernote is well worth the money. If you're not one of those people and don't need all that, then a hobbyist tool like UpNote should be fine. Professional work needs professional tools, even if that means professional prices. Horses for courses, as they say in the UK.

Always worth repeating.... There is manual sync in Evernote v. 10: Ctrl+R. But v. 10 syncs constantly; by the time you could click a Sync button, the sync would be done. (I was doing some work in Evernote 10 on my phone when the phone died; I switched to my laptop, and it was all there, down to the word I was typing when the phone died--because Evernote was always syncing, not waiting for a manual signal from me.) Evernote 10 will be slow at first because it is downloading your notes database in the background, and converting every note to the new structure when it is opened. All that eventually gets finished, and the app speeds up. If you don't like the Home page, you don't have to use it. Just use the Notes list, or whatever, and Evernote will always start with the view that you last had open.

I remember clearly how very little was working on v. 10 when it first came out, so I can't agree at all that it's worse now. When it finally got to where it seemed usable, I started using the Web version while still mainly working in v. 6. That way I could get used to where things were in the new system. I got accustomed to it as I worked, instead of on an emergency basis, as some people have (honestly) put themselves in the position of doing now. There is no such thing as a "right place" or an "intuitive place"; most of what we call "intuitive" in software just means what we're used to. As v. 10 began to have things I could use that were missing in v. 6, I gradually began using it exclusively. For instance, I love the ability to have nearly equal features and appearance across all platforms (which Legacy never did). When I first started using Evernote, it took me awhile to learn how I could best use it--I even had to look around to find where functions were. I invested some time in learning how best to use Evernote then, and I did the same with v. 10, and it's working for me. That pretty much exactly describes my experience with Evernote 10.

It would be handy to have a one-click option for attachments. But not nearly as handy as some other things that people have been requesting.

Here's the editing toolbar in the Evernote 10 Windows desktop app. IMHO, you have to look carefully to even find the tasks and calendar icons.

I guess my viewpoint would be ***** you'll never use might be ***** that someone else finds useful, and they get a vote too. (Believe it or not, Evernote Legacy had features that not everyone used either.) If you truly only need a note keeper to keep your thoughts straight, then what does it matter what the fonts look like? (The default font in the new UI is a sans serif 15 point, which I find pretty readable everywhere, but of course needs differ.)

Thanks for the clarification. The mystery remains, though. I can see Evernote popping up a dialog when something with a special format is selected, but I don't ever remember Evernote monitoring the clipboard before. Weird.

Agreed. The background/"highlight" issue is the same in Snippet view, but there the selected note in the list at least has a faint blue box around it.

There is a long thread on this known issue; here's a link to the latest post there, which reports it as solved (as do several other recent posts):

I don't have a need for encryption myself, so I haven't tried this, but I wonder if note history would possibly hold a version of the note with an active encrypted block you could access. Really only guessing.

As @PinkElephant said, lots of people tried to do that, even in Legacy, and failed. So perhaps you either have a superpower, or else that note is a lucky one.

I just tried this, and I got the exact same result. https > intent? It looks like an autocorrect error, but how could that be? It only seems to happen with shares from Google Play to Evernote. A share from Play to another app produced the correct URL, and a share from another Website in my browser to Evernote also succeeded. Very weird. Since it's reproducible, you should report it to Support using the Settings menu in the app, then Support. Be prepared to get a first response from a robot who tells you to do stuff you already did and/or which couldn't possibly have anything to do with this. Jump through the hoops and hopefully you'll get to a human after awhile. Support times have been dreadfully long for months, but there are some indications lately that it's getting better. EDIT: I don't generally need to share URLs from Play to Evernote, so I've never seen this before. It may be a fairly recent bug in v. 10--I would think someone would have reported it before now if it had been happening for a long time.

In which case, please feedback vigorously! Either feedback@evernote.com, or maybe https://waz9zvkd1f2.typeform.com/newuifeedback.

Are you saying that you were able to control what image appears in the thumbnail of a note just by where you are positioning it? That would be surprising. The inability to control thumbnails has been a long-standing complaint, including in v. 6 long before v. 10.

I am telling you that on Windows 10 Evernote takes screenshots and creates notes from them, using Ctrl+Alt+S. On Windows 11 this doesn't work, because of something Microsoft did. Believe me or don't, I don't care. And I fully and formally give up trying to have any positive engagement with you. Congratulations. You are the second user on these forums (which have some pretty heavy Legacy fanboys) whom I have ever turned on the Ignore setting for.

I asked about Outlook settings, since you said this (highlighting is mine), which I took to mean you did have Outlook 2016 installed: I've got a Windows 10 computer, so probably Outlook is on it somewhere, but I managed to set up the computer when it was new without creating a Microsoft account, so I'm not even logged in to MS. I once again tried typing 5:49 PM in a note and then cutting it to the clipboard, and I didn't get a popup. I'm running Evernote 10.79.2, and in Settings there is now a Calendar section, with various options and a list of connected calendars. For me, it's only Google. Might be worth a look there to see if somehow Evernote has an Outlook connection for you.

Ctrl+Alt+S. In Windows 10 this brings up the crosshairs, and when you have marked your screen clip it is immediately saved as a new note in Evernote (with a popup to let you click and go to the note if you wish). As I understand it, Windows 11 grabbed this shortcut, and the whole functionality, hence the need to do a Windows screen clip and save it to an import folder that some people have mentioned. Evernote can't control what Microsoft does, and AFAIK no better workaround has been established.

I really hesitate to ask this, but I actually do want to help. Can you say (or at least remind me) what you mean by this. Is this right click to take a screenshot or right click during the screenshot process?

Thanks for the good news! It could be, of course, that they were backed up and have finally gotten through most of it.

I'm finding it actually way worse than just the prompt always appearing. Every time I type a slash, the menu pops up--and proceeds to narrow down options as I type letters! To see this in action type: either/or. Only after I type a punctuation mark or space does the 🤬 thing go away. Oops, not working on my personal growth there.
