With me your request works automatically. Maybe a workaround for you: You can right-click Evernote on your taskbar (in Windows) ask the properties and change to Maximized as a workaround.

Thanks, but I don't want it maximized. I just need it larger an on one side of my screen...

Evernote always remembers the most recent window size and position for me.... except when it updates to a new version, and then it often plops itself in the middle of the screen at a smaller size. So I'm guessing you're seeing the result of an update.

It opens for me every f... day "in the middle of the screen at a smaller size".

Funny thing is, if I exit the client and start it again on the same day, then the client opens at the last postition and size. When I shutdown Windows and boot it up the next day, EN client open again mid-screen/nedium size

Hello there,

Every day I start EN client, it opens in the middle of my monitor with a default size (50% of screen height/width).

Is there a way to make EN client v10-latest/Win remember the window size and position?

The funny thing about "auto update" is that it generates its own flaws.

In v6 I never had any issues with EN client updates.

Since v10 I get such lovely error messages like "Oops, something went wrong. Please reload." - but any number of "reloading" did not help.
What helps: Shutting down EN client (not just closing it, but manually quitting it), then start the client again, then accept some weird changes in Windows' firewall settings, and only then you are good.

Hello there,

In v6 Client/win I had spellchecking enabled for both languages.

In v10-latest Client/win I cannot find this language seletion any more. On english Windows the spellchecking is for English only. On my german Windows it checks for German only.

Hi.  You're already complaining about code blocks in at least one other thread.  Please don't duplicate that discussion here...

Well, it's a totally different issue with code blocks.
Saying it's a duplicate is like saying each EN complaint is a duplicate to any previous complaint, isn't it?

Also I don't consider my case as an edge case. It is still literally called a "code block", not a "text that is randomly formatted differently" area.
On major property of "code" is that is must be displayed as-it-is ... not encoded, nor decrypted, nor formatted, nor transformed etc.
And sources like xml, jsp or html use a lot of "<", ">"

... needs to explain why the community of v10 users did without it for 3 years now.

... Forward arguments, not the backward view „It needs to be added because it was“.

For a) that's why I used Legacy v6 till the last day.
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).

For b) feature XYZ needs to be added (again) because I heavily used it in the past, and I'm not ok with working around now.

If we want to have a discussion about this, it would help to have some specific examples (the 3 or 4 most prominent would do for starters).

For one thing, I don't want to derail this discussion by listing other issues here.

If you want the list of missed features, there is a list of at least 30 support tickets I opened since I started testing v10 (and not a single ticket was resolved so far).

Or just browse the last 1000 posts in forum

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.

Well, almost each character can be part of an URL, e.g. as a value of a GET parameter. How can EN know the punctuation you type no longer belongs to the URL?

But if you hit space or enter after punctuation, EN recognized the URL without the trailing punctuation.
At least in my EN client/Windows10.

Ok, so bottom line:

• There is no longer way to prevent Evernote from starting a numbered list.
• There is only one workaround to undo the automated numbering.

What a great application 😡

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.

LOL
You're referring to this measly list of 5 bullet points?
There are about 1000 more features "no longer supported".

Where does it actually state that markups inside code blocks are no longer supported? Please show me @Dave-in-Decatur !

Hello there,

I don't get it.

in v10 no markups are available any longer in code blocks

But also in v10 some "<" and ">" inside code blocks are now replaced by little arrows. What makes no sense at all in a source code!

I really doubt, BS has any idea what they are doing 😠😡

(EN client v10-latest, Windows 10)

@gazumped, @PinkElephant

I want to say thanks. I really appreciate your replies and insights.

I see that you want to help. Unfortunately my overall experience with v10 is:

• It's not my fault, I cannot find a missing feature that I used a lot in v6.
• A lot of v6 features simply don't exist anymore
• And there is no chance to bring them back.
• There is nothing this EN community here can do about it.
• As literally none of my support tickets got resolved, I grew too frustrated to open any more tickets.

Bottom line: I'm forced to adapt to a half-baked application, instead of the other way round

Depending on what version of Evernote you have,  try the three dots menu in any note (at the top right).  There's a Slash Commands option that will stop the pop-up entirely.

I'm using EN client v10.latest on Windows 10.

And unfortunately in my client I can only enable/disable the /-hint, but not the pop-up entirely.

Hi.  Just keep typing.  One more keystroke will remove the pop-up.  V6 client is no longer available.

Well, it stays this way until I type a lot of characters:

Is there really no way to disable that feature at all?

Why don’t you tell them ?

feedback@evernote.com

Perhaps because they don't listen or even bother to respond (other than the automated "thank your" reply)?

I opened dozens of tickets (one per missing, crucial feature in v10, which existed in v6, so nothing too fancy) - none was ever answered in a meaningful way.

Hello there,

When I start typing the following:

5. Create/edit

EN unsolicited starts its / function and I end up with a pop-up that blocks my sight with stuff I don't need nor want:

That's very inconvenient.

V6 client was much better.

Whenever I type in a filename, EN thinks and automatically converts it to an URL:

How can I prevent this behavior?

V6 was much better...

 have you considered taking a screenshot of the highlighted code using another tool?

No and no.

No, screenshots are not flexible enough for me.

And no, all my markups (in v6) are no longer visible/available since I was forced into v10. Even if I use screenshots in the future, all crucial information I collected over the last 10 years are already gone 😡

Hello there,

In v6 of Evernote I had "do not start a numbered list with 1." configured (something like this).

Now in v10 every time I type a number followed by a period, EN starts a numbered list.
How can I disable this intrusive behavior?

Evernote gave 3 years' warning that v6 was no longer supported,  and it was never promoted as in any way being a coding tool.

So? They never warned us, what functionality will be removed forever.

And I don't use EN as a "coding tool". I use it as my knowledge management tool to record and remember certain coding tricks. My bad.

I've had enough - BS didn't manage to replicate basic EN functionality in several years, so I'm just packing my things (evernote-backup) and moving to Obsidian (where I can keep markdown-formatting at least).

Same here. Except that I haven't found a better successor yet. Testing all the alternatives is very tedious and takes a lot of time.
My personal challenge is that I used most of the EN functions (in Legacy v6) and it is difficult to find a suitable successor.

Consider this:

I was using the v6 client for the longest time. In this client I was able to markup text within a code block.
I used that a lot to visually highlight important code changes (like bad code,  obsolete code or new code)

Now that I was forced to v10 client ((thanks, Bending Spoons)), code blocks cannot have any markup anymore.

So I ended up having many code snippets (20 to 40 lines of code), and I literally lost the information what the actual code change was 😠😡
