It's really just a lot of whining at this point from several people who I'm sure are on thin ice with the moderators. I expect more accounts are going to get nuked soon.
You know, I really don't want any accounts nuked. I want people to express their opinions. It's when the opinions get detached from reality, and esp. when they become untrue and malicious opinions about other users, that I long for some calming down.

Still not working for me. It tries to open but never gets past the jumping toys before closing.
Are you still using v. 10.72.2, the subject of this thread? It was noted above what the issue was and that 10.73.4 fixed it. The current version is 10.84.3, which can be downloaded from the Evernote Website. First (as also recommended above) uninstall with Revo Uninstaller.

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.

Evernote desktop won't load. I have uninstall and reinstall every day, sometimes the toys jump around on the intro and then black screen and then program disappears. I loved Evernote I have been using it for over 10 years but the older it gets the more laggy and slow it is, and the more notes and attachments seem to go missing.
Evernote just raised my price and now the program does not work on the desktop. I feel like Evernote is really just an online app now and the "desktop version" is just a skin for the website.
Random note pictures and attachments are just missing now and I can't access them from the phone, then I need to remember what note it was so I can check it on the desktop later but oh yeah desktop doesn't load anymore.
The search functionality is so slow. Filter or search by tag never refreshes so I get old results even though the notes in the search results don't have the tags on them. This happens across all my devices, phone, tablets, and both laptops, when the desktop program worked.
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.

Maybe it's easy to be satisfied with V10 when all you use it for is hoarding random notes on how to clean your underwear with vinegar. But for those of us who have developed a highly-structured & detailed tool that we rely on regularly, it's a different story.
6 hours ago, enfan-01 said:Really? Does your livelihood depend on being able to access data in a system you've spent over a decade developing? THIS IS ON TOPIC.
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.

Legacy was the perfect program.
v10 can't take notes, that's it, the company doesn't care about this.
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."

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?

Even if they hire brand ambassadors, who deny all of the complaints.
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.

Maybe it depends on your usage habits. If you are a keyboard shortcuts guy, you will welcome the slash-commands as a new possibility to avoid taking your hands off the keyboard. If you are rather mousing around, it will be no big deal.
The hype around it is probably that they introduced a feature offered by other note apps (take THAT, evil Notion). So, let’s lean back, it’s Popcorn time in the war of the notes apps. The EMPIRE strikes back …
🤣
🤣 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)?

It seems like EN converts anything that looks like a domain name (like StartWatchTicket.sh ;-)) or starts with http[s]:// to an URL.
Unfortunately all other that should be converted to an URL (like file:///... or even evernote://...) is not recognized to be a valid hyperlink address 😞)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).

Side note: I gave v10 a try as soon as it was released. I opened so many tickets, asking to bring back functionality (but all to no avail).
So did I. But of course a great many of the features that were initially missing were added back in.

There are about 1000 more features "no longer supported".
Please list them all. If you run out after 50, we'll understand.

Please change the Evernote links back to green color! (Or any other color, just to make the web links look different than Evernote links.)
Most effective way to direct these is to feedback@evernote.com.

THAT should scare the CR@P out of anybody that has valuable attachments of any sort that were entrusting them to Evernote... Nuts!
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.

When I do a search on a topic, when I select a note, the app should open the note, and highlight the first occurrence of the search string. It has happened in the past, but it seems every new update will either leave that feature off or bring it back. It should always be there. As an added bonus, it should have a little box somewher so you can go to the next occurrence of the search string easily.
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.

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.

Actually the update notice in Legacy only talks of an update. The 'V10 is a completely different app' narrative has come up in the forum recently but is not what BS promoted, it was announced as a new version of Legacy (screen shot from an inactive instance of Legacy from today

>>"A new version of Evernote Legacy is available. Update to 10.78.2 to experience the latest improvements."<<
The notion that it is only came up recently in the forum when more and more deficiencies of V10 became evident
As long as you don't read past the first line. I hope the highlighting will be helpful:

New coming: Table of contents on Evernote

Here's an example of the link: evernote:///view/########/s316/bb213bf3-f388-4900-b2e8-c9208e3f225f#5b930346-f121-4b84-a43b-c9e46280de8b/f027e0e6-ecb4-1838-5cb3-bf5c2d3476ba. It is not yet functional from outside Evernote. Within Evernote, it takes you to the note, but not the point in the note where the anchor is.
