    Can I turn off AI??

    Also, I can't print like I use to be able to.  It is no longer a clean look.  See below...

    How do I correct this?

    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.

  2. @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.

    Does BS actually realize that a lot of us actually DEPEND on being able to access the data we have in EN?!?!  This isn't some F'ing game we're all playing here.  Stop rolling out un-authorized, un-tested, un-explaind changes to all of us: We're not paying to be your beta testers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    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.

  4. Just now, justacat said:

    I can open attachments and see shortcuts, but my Android app was not synced. It remained unsynced, with newer notes not appearing, until I opened Evernote on laptop! Meanwhile Evernote on iPad was correctly synced. This is a little troubling I have to admit.

    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/.

  5. 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.

     

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

    It feels like there is no background sync anymore. Sync only happens when I open EN.

    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.

  9. 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.

    1. I can't slide the column width any more which is why I wanted to change the font size. This is why I refused to upgrade as Evernote made this feature worst. Not only that, but the title is not fixed at the top. As you scroll down your note the title disappears as well. This is 100% unacceptable.  Evernote took away features and made the app less user friendly.

    ?? As I pointed out, your Legacy screenshot had a ton of truncated titles. FWIW, Evernote probably added more features so far than they took away. Are you saying it was possible in Legacy to change the font size of titles in Notes List views?

    The AI edit pop-up is driving me absolutely batty. It blocks text I'm trying to select and blocks locations where I'm trying to move text to. It seems it would work just as well behind a right click so it's quickly available (I don't use it but obviously others do) without being in the way.

    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).

  14. 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.

    I pay to be able to use Evernote across multiple devices and I am getting a similar message - I do not want to sign in with google as I already have an Evernote account but it doesn't allow me to enter an email. 

    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....

    Upon arriving to the store, I attempted to access the note on my phone, only to be greeted by an error message indicating the attachment was unavailable. It wasn't a clickable link, simply stated as unavailable, the name of the attachment was there but it was odd like greyed out. I tried to take a screenshot to discuss this issue here, but EN's security policy prevented it, adding to my frustration.

    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.

    my experience with v10 is totally different.
    that is why i do not believe you.
    you look like PR guy here.

    electron in NOT necessary slow, check obsidian, it's a lightning speed in comparison to v10

    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.

    The point is to keep the data out of the cloud.

    Obsidian solves the problem.

    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.

  19. 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.

    Is there anyway to get out of this 'selected users group'? This is awful, and trying to submit a support request results in a message that Evernote does not support my browser (Chrome) after requiring me to login 3-5 times.

    I don't think there's any way out. You can email feedback@evernote.com. The support pages have been revised recently, so I don't know if that will make them easier to access: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/requests/new.
