Just updated to 10.84.3, and the blue is there. Damn damn damn damn damn. Nothing is improved, is it? Can someone tell me what? There really needs to be some justification given for this. But they've pretty much stopped accounting for changes, and sometimes don't even mention them in the release notes.

Sorry this got lost in the, um "sand" storm. WRT the desktop app, how are you uninstalling? Many recommend using Revo Uninstaller as doing a superior, more complete job than the standard Windows uninstall. If you haven't tried that yet, might be good to give it a shot to be sure there aren't any random bits left over. As you install Evernote and download all your notes data, that will take some time. Everything will be slower as the notes are downloaded and the index rebuilt. After that, it should get better. The other factor will be the necessary conversion of notes to the new structure introduced a year ago for real-time editing and syncing, note by note as they are opened. Generally, once a note has been converted it will be faster to access than before.

Leaving aside the insulting implication than only Legacy users do serious work.... You spent over a decade developing a business process centered on Evernote Legacy. You mean the whole process didn't just arrive with the Evernote 6 package? It took time to develop it? Then perhaps it's reasonable to think that using a new iteration of Evernote redesigned from the ground up will also take time to adjust to. Maybe it even would have been reasonable to start doing that in 2021, when it became clear that v. 10 was the future of Evernote, and Legacy would not continue forever. George Bernard Shaw said, "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man." I'm beginning to think the great man was mistaken, or at least too limited. It seems that all resistance to progress also depends on the unreasonable man.

Believe we've been around this block before. From the v. 6.25 Windows forum prior to v. 10, evidence of imperfection. Oops, sorry for that blasphemous word ... "evidence." https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/120634-i-love-en-but-windows-version-no-longer-usable/ https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/106027-windows-application-super-sluggish-after-last-evernote-update/ https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/93803-evernote-formatting-is-buggy-and-terrible-is-it-just-me/ https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/113859-evernote-tables-are-terrible/ https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/41948-why-is-formatting-so-terrible-on-cut-and-paste/ https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/124002-evernote-has-terrible-lag-these-days/ Yes, so

I just updated to v. 10.84.3 on Windows desktop, and don't see any difference in spacing. I took a screenclip from a note and put it up against a screenclip from then new update, and there was no difference. @SpacecoastWalt, could you post a screenshot so we can compare?

You and I have occasionally exchanged some reasonable remarks now and then, which I've enjoyed, though we disagree with each other a lot. But that's one time too many on that lie. Clicking ignore.

🤣 Popcorn time. If that means throwing popcorn at each other, I'm all for it. Unless I end up ankle-deep in popcorn. Come to think of it, I believe we could use a popcorn-throwing section in these forums.

@Cristiano478, are all those nested headings actually links to other notes? That's what I'd think of as a TOC; I wouldn't need it to be collapsible headings. But good! If they are note links, then I note with despair that they are blue, not green. Would you be willing to reply to @Federico Simionato on X that a number of users have noticed this and are wondering WT Actual F (not to put words into anyone's mouth)?

Yes, I wish there was a little more automatic converting. (But are you saying that you can type or paste something like evernote:///view/{codes of numbers and letters} and not get it transformed into a note link??) But since this thread started with a question about how to get it to convert less, my guess is that there is no level of automatic conversion that won't irritate some number of users, and I've decided to accept it as they're currently doing it (which will probably change at some point, without announcement, and raise another firestorm).

You know this is just becoming so hateful and lacking in any real thoughtfulness (starting with the subject of the thread), I'm done. Free-fire zone, @Razmataz, @Feitz, @Farbauti.

So did I. But of course a great many of the features that were initially missing were added back in.

Please list them all. If you run out after 50, we'll understand.

Most effective way to direct these is to feedback@evernote.com.

Unless they are not experiencing these problems constantly, and when the problems happen they are able to correct them by waiting for a couple of minutes, as @s2sailor indicates in his post, and as I have experienced. I wish I knew why some people seem to experience this constantly, and others scarcely at all. Obviously it affects one's opinion of Evernote! I don't think it is the most common experience (bearing in mind that software forums obviously collect problem reports, not "working fine" reports), but it happens enough that Evernote really does need to at least offer an official explanation of it.

Welcome to the forums. These are basically user to user, so no one here can take action on this. To report bugs, go to Settings in the app, then Support.

Please everyone report your experiences and reactions to feedback@evernote.com.

It is an experiment with a new user interface for Home. Unfortunately, you have been selected as one of the experiment subjects. Your opinions can be sent to feedback@evernote.com.

Oh my gosh you're right, in v. 10.84.3 (which I have in the Web client); still green in 10.83.5 (Windows desktop). I try not to do this, but @Federico Simionato, surely this has to be an unintentional error??

Is it just yesterday's work that's gone, or all of your notes entirely? If it's the latter, it's possible (many people have done it) that you accidentally logged into Evernote with the wrong username/email address, and Evernote assumed you were trying to create a new, empty account. Try again, making extra sure of the credentials.

Don't know about iOS, but Evernote for Android (at least for phones, may be different on larger devices) does not run in a browser. There are 2 Evernote link formats: https://www.evernote.com/shard/... (Web link, for browsers) and evernote:///view/... (for the Evernote app). For me both of those open only in the Evernote app on my Android phone. OTOH, an ordinary Web URL (non-Evernote) in an Evernote note always opens in my default browser. So I'm having trouble understanding how things are working for you.

"New client." Says it 4 times. As for notification of dropped features, see the immediately preceding couple of posts. Frankly, if I had been in charge of Evernote's notification of what wasn't going to work in 2020, I would need a psychiatrist, since so many people seemed to think I was making it up, or that I could be ignored.

As long as you don't read past the first line. I hope the highlighting will be helpful:

https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/360047889234-What-s-new-in-Evernote-for-Windows, scroll down to "What features are no longer supported in the new app?" Posted at least 2 years ago.

Ctrl+Z or backspace will delete the link. I find that Evernote doesn't create a link out of a filename (like ReadMe.doc), not even a fully qualified filepath beginning with file:///, only out of a potential URL. Personally, I find it more annoying that Evernote also doesn't automatically make a link when a URL is followed by punctuation instead of a space or Enter.

I agree completely. Ctrl+/ is already in use to access the keyboard shortcut dialog, but Alt+/ should be readily available. This was so easy to get right, and they didn't. BenSpoo seems to want to push people to become familiar with new features, and the method is to have them in your face very frequently. But once they're familiar, they could recede into the background, where we'll still know how to find them. The AI Edit button that pops up on the mere selection of text (or images, which can't even be edited by their AI) is worse, IMHO; and it is aggravated by the occasional popup provoked by nothing at all inviting us to try out AI Edit.
