Printing problems after new upgrade
Dave-in-Decatur replied to stephk3556's question in General Technical Issues
Hi, and welcome to the forums. You're responding to a 6-month-old thread with related (maybe) and unrelated questions. For future reference, it usually gets better results to keep threads simple. Can you say more about the printing issue? What is it that you used to do that you're having trouble doing now? WRT AI, unfortunately there's no way to turn it off altogether. If you don't ever press the AI Edit button, your won't have to interact with it. What I wish could be turned off is the silly popup button every time I select some text, or even an image. Opinions on this can be sent to feedback@evernote.com. -
@jrdunson, as you may have noticed by reading through the thread: These are user-to-user forums, so you are not addressing Evernote with the request to fix the issue. You can do so at feedback@evernote.com. The menu option (also available through the ... menu at top right of a note) is to show or hide the inline hint that (if shown) appears at the beginning of every new paragraph. It's working as intended. I can absolutely understand the desire to disable the thing. I use it sometimes, but I don't see that it does anything that I can't do almost as conveniently by other means, with the inconvenience of the popup on the relatively rare occasions I type a /. Clearly it needs more work.

Mobile Home Screen Change
Dave-in-Decatur replied to s2sailor's topic in Evernote General Discussions
I actually agree with this pretty completely. I don't know if this is the BenSpoo corporate culture, if they take this lab-rat approach to the users of all their apps, or it's something they're trying out with Evernote. Want to change the UI of the desktop/Web and then mobile apps? Try this: announce a beta group and experiment on them! But then you want to know how a group of non-self-selected-volunteers would react? Too bad--you can't do that. After the beta test, then announce the change so people can look at it, and then make it, and if it draws a lot of fire tweak it or roll it back. Takes too long? No, it doesn't. It takes the amount of time necessary to do something right. It may take the sum total amount of time for BenSpoo equivalent to all the time taken by unsuspecting users trying to figure out what the 🤬 is going on under the current system. Oh, we could have found out about it on X or the blog? I waste too much time in these forums doing meta-Evernote stuff, and have too much concern for my mental health to ever go on X. And yes, I will be sending this to feedback@evernote.com. -
Tasks Backup / Tasks Export / Tasks Save

By "keywords" do you mean "tags" (I don't know how Evernote translates "tags" into German)? -

Might be good to post this to the Android forum, since this thread is drifting a little: https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/forum/718-evernote-for-android-issues-versions-100-and-above/. -

Please see my response to your post in the Android forum. -
They're testing a new mobile "home page." Not a lot of fans of it around here; see this thread: https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/150839-mobile-home-screen-change/. There may be a link or button or menu item somewhere to get to your shortcuts and other widgets. As for all attachments untitled, that's (obviously) different. Hopefully after it settles in for awhile they'll become available. If not, of course, it's the long and winding road: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/requests/new.

I've had problems in the past getting Evernote to load in the Web client. Is this happening just with specific notes, or with all notes, or with Evernote as a whole? If it's all notes or Evernote as a whole, clearing browser cache and cookies may help. If it's specific notes, that might still be worth a try. Might also be worth trying in a different browser, if you haven't yet.

My Web client just updated to 10.83.4 when my computer restarted. (This should be downloadable for desktops at evernote.com/download.) In the release notes (they're back!): "Introducing headings and lists to slash commands for improved note editing." These are items from the editing toolbar, not the blue + button. In very brief testing, works as advertised. Note that if you want to insert a header, you can type /h, but can not continue with 1, 2, or 3 (since they're subscripted in the dropdown 🙄); you have to scroll through the list with up/down arrows, or else click.

When I go to delete a single note in Trash, I get a popup "Warning: The note will be gone forever. This action cannot be undone, even by Evernote." So you could try submitting a support request (https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/requests/new), but I would have only the very faintest of hope.

Yes, I'm sure that's right, and it has been noted in other contexts as well. I could be OK with that, but why not just give a splash screen saying "Syncing" or "Updating" instead of this insane flashing? I might not even mind watching my notes update before my eyes, if there was smooth animation instead of start-stop-start-repeat.

Long Notes are SLOW
Dave-in-Decatur replied to Taylorandtakoda's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Apologies for multiple postings, but this is new info. My Web client just updated to 10.83.4 when my computer restarted. In the release notes (they're back!): "Fixed a performance issue when typing in large notes." This should be downloadable for desktops at evernote.com/download. I don't have long notes with bulleted lists, so I can't test it, but for those who are having the problem it might be worth trying. -

Please allow AI to be turned off
Dave-in-Decatur replied to 1dufflebag's topic in Evernote General Discussions
This is a good suggestion. Might be good to send it to feedback@evernote.com; and/or the new Feedback and feature requests section of Evernote Help: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=21983764539923 (you may have to log in). -
I don't do this much (or ever), but I just tried opening a spreadsheet from within a note and making a tiny edit. When I closed the spreadsheet, then reopened it in the app, the change had not saved. (But the note was marked updated!) I think the way you have to do it on Android (due to OS limitations, probably) is to download the attachment, edit it and save the edits, then re-attach it. But others with real-world experience may have better advice.

Cannot log in on Android
Dave-in-Decatur replied to monica67's topic in Evernote for Android Issues (Versions 10.0 and above)
Welcome to the forums. This is an old thread, so it's not certain that the issue would have the same cause. More details would help: what version of Evernote, what version of Android, paid or free account.... -
I'm going to get BANNED real soon!
Dave-in-Decatur replied to KoZz's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Just WRT this one, it's a well-known issue, unfortunately. I've done what you describe many times, and generally find it works, so hopefully, this was a one-off. Probably something to do with incomplete uploading or downloading of the attachment on the mobile device. When I run into this (rarely), I can usually back out of the note, maybe go to a different one for a sec, then go back to the note with the attachment and it's there. Not ideal, but manageable. -

Your experience is different. Therefore other people are lying PR guys. Fortunately, you're not a troll, or I'd be annoyed. I'll yield to other people's experience with Obsidian. Frankly, I don't care. But I expect to have my own experience respected too. -

Dave-in-Decatur replied to Alxa's topic in Evernote General Discussions
I'll probably be really sorry for this, but I want to ask a question out of curiosity: if what people want is locally stored documents, including scanned receipts, that can be searched, why use Evernote? Wouldn't Windows search, or some more sophisticated indexing system, do just as well? As I understand it, Evernote was intended for syncing across multiple devices and platforms, but offered local-only notebooks for a long time. Why they stopped I don't know, so I'm not defending it. I just wonder what the advantage of using it for this was. -
V. 10.75 can't find all tables
Dave-in-Decatur replied to Dave-in-Decatur's topic in Evernote General Discussions
The latest update to this ongoing malfunction: it's still possible to do a search "contains:table" (yielding 00 results), but now the Contains filter in the Notes list no longer includes Tables as an option! So they are literally deprecating any filtering for notes with tables in them, which I would have thought might be something people would want to do fairly commonly.
