Make Lines Visible Again
Dave-in-Decatur replied to David1944's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 10.0 and above)
No, I'm in light mode. The divider lines are practically invisible. -
Way to search for notes with backlinks
Dave-in-Decatur replied to FredJ's topic in Evernote General Discussions
A little surprisingly (maybe), this doesn't seem to be available. I also don't think it's possible to search/filter for notes that have a note link to one specific note. -
A shareable link is a link that you can share with someone else so that they can view a note. A Web link is the standard link to a note, which you can insert into another note, or paste into another app. I use them in Google Calendar events sometimes (since I'm still a little unsteady about what linking my Calendar to Evernote does; or if I want links to more than one note in an event).

A backlink is a link back to a note that contains a link to the present note. IOW: In note A, I insert a link to note B (whether an App Link or a Web Link). When I look at note B, I see a backlink to note A. The notes have to sync, but the backlink is automatically generated.

What is the purpose of URL in note info ??
Dave-in-Decatur replied to FredJ's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Sometimes this is automatically populated, such as when a note is clipped from a Website or made from a forwarded email, or sometimes when a note has a URL in its body. It can be edited to be whatever Website would be useful to you in connection with the note. -
So the new linked note creation from a / command has arrived in v. 10.82 (downloadable from Evernote.com if your app isn't offering to update; pushed to Web clients). It works easily. Some specifics: The new note is indeed in the same notebook as the one in which the note from which it was created resides. (Awaiting howls of "Why would anyone want that?" in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...) More interestingly, the new note's link is not created as green linked text but as a gray box with the note's title in it. By experimentation (not documentation!) I found that clicking on this, and then on the ... menu at right of the popup that appears, reveals a menu with options to open, copy, or copy the URL of the note, and to view it as: text (the familiar underlined green), title (the new gray box), or preview (what it sounds like). Better yet, all existing linked notes now offer this option. If you've got a green underlined note link, you can hover the pointer over it, click ... in the popup, and show it in any of these views. Note that only the "text" view allows editing the link text. So with the new / command to create a linked note comes a boatload, or at least a little red wagon load, of other new functionality too. Unless this stuff has been around for 3 updates and I just never noticed it?

Mobile Home Screen Change
Dave-in-Decatur replied to s2sailor's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Thanks. I see that as 2 separate screenshots, one showing new note features, one showing note-browsing features. Looks like a row of tabs on the bottom from which you can pick which of these and other views to see, and then hopefully that view will appear the next time you come back. But still no widgets: no pinned notes, shortcuts, etc. That's a really big loss, since "browsing notes" means just scrolling through everything, instead of getting to what you want. @mackid1993, if you're feeding back to @Federico Simionato, I'd love it if you'd feed back to him that the widgets on desktop and Web client home pages are useful on mobile devices as well, and should at least have their own tab, if not any easier access. -
Mobile Home Screen Change
Dave-in-Decatur replied to s2sailor's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Thanks, @mackid1993, for keeping us non-X-users up to date. I'm having trouble getting a sense of what the new proposal for the Home page actually has on it, since the image in the X post seems to be a compound of a couple of images. Is there a screenshot that just shows the first screen we'll see on Evernote? I guess my comment, WRT the app being "heavy," is that my Samsung S22 Ultra is not a flip phone, and it's far from the biggest Android device available. I love having my chosen Home page image there when I go to Evernote, and I don't mind scrolling down to find pinned notes and other widgets. I understand that a lot of users, maybe most users, want to be able to grab Evernote and start a new note in a hurry, and that makes sense. But in fact #2, browsing/searching notes, is actually usually the first thing I want to do. I like visual stimulation from a phone app, and a screen of boring blobs, all variants of "make a new note," feels like a real step backward. (And reminds me of Windows 8.) -
Please allow AI to be turned off
Dave-in-Decatur replied to 1dufflebag's topic in Evernote General Discussions
@ebtihal, I'm in a comparable situation. I craft notes related to household matters, but many more related to research or ideas for writing about interests of mine. They are not notes meant for immediate publication, or to be shared with fellow employees, supervisors, clients, etc., needing bullet points or changes of tone. Nor does their grammar need improving, I guarantee you. If I never click the AI button, that should be enough to keep it from getting in my way. To have an icon pop up on random chunks of selected text that won't leave even while I'm formatting them or doing something else with them, is far too aggressive of an intrusion into my processes. -
"Created:" above note title from Legacy
Dave-in-Decatur replied to discreet's topic in Evernote General Discussions
I don't think so. That and other note information is displayed with Ctrl+Shift+I, or from the ... menu at top right, or from the Note menu, then "View note info." -
Please allow AI to be turned off
Dave-in-Decatur replied to 1dufflebag's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Sorry, but this is no longer true. Whether it's something in v. 10.81.4 or something switched on in the back end, selecting text will regularly pop up an AI Edit icon in the note with the same functions as the button. If I type the words "IMPORTANT: To secure" and select it, the icon pops up every time. If the "IMPORTANT" is not boldfaced, it will not. Similar apparent randomness occurs in other text selection, but sooner or later you will get this popup. -
Wow, I can't seem to avoid the AI Edit stuff (don't know about cleanup). The AI Edit button should be at the right end of the editing toolbar. Or try selecting more than 3 or 4 words of text--it will pop up an AI Edit icon to distract from anything you may have actually wanted to do with that text. If you're not seeing these, which version number are you on?

My Widgets removed from Home page - Android

Evernote legacy ending on 2024-03-23
Dave-in-Decatur replied to Alxa's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Another thing that's been said a million times: Evernote 10 creates a new notes database, and downloading everything can take awhile if you've got a lot of large notes. Once it's downloaded, things speed up. Evernote 10 uses a different data structure from v. 6, and every time an old note is opened it takes a few seconds to convert to the new structure. After that, it will open faster. -

Unable to access notes on app offline
Dave-in-Decatur replied to Backinmotionvet's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Thanks! I can confirm this fix. -
Please allow AI to be turned off
Dave-in-Decatur replied to 1dufflebag's topic in Evernote General Discussions
The latest update (v. 10.81.4) fixes this by removing the extra space. But I totally agree about not wanting AI, and esp. hate that whenever you select more than a certain number of words (or characters) it pops up an AI Edit icon for you to click. It's a small number too. This may be worse than the / command popup. -
Whenever I download a "latest" exe file (and that really is a peculiar and aggravating thing to name it IMHO), I check the file's properties, and in the Details tab is the proper version number. Then I rename the file to include that number. I keep a few installers around in case an update introduces a drastic problem. @shlifs, I agree that having all the release notes collapsed under their numbers like that is a problem. I sometimes want to know when a particular feature or fix was introduced.
