  1. That cycle has been in effect since the Phil Libin era. User frustration reaches a fever pitch, CEO comes out and says soothing words (probably because VC investors start becoming concerned about user dissatisfaction), users get hopeful, and mediocre delivery. Rinse repeat. Hey @CalSdidn't recognize your account at first because you changed your avatar from when I was previously active on this forum. Too bad updating (then reverting) to this poo platter of new EN is what brought me back to the forum. 😀
  2. That's always been the case with EN management. With all the management changes, leaving their users in the dark is one thing EN has consistently done.
  3. My guess is they will closely monitor the number of Legacy app users. The sooner most of those users switch over, the sooner they will dump the Legacy apps (all they have to do is stop sync'ing). But if those users are numerous and don't switch over, then EN has a problem. I suppose they are betting they will get the bulk of Legacy users to switch as they start adding back some of the features that were lost in the switch to new EN. For local notebook users like me, it's just a matter of time before I have to move on, because it sure seems that local notebooks is a feature that is never coming back to EN.
  4. Has anyone at EN indicated how long they will support (i.e., sync) EN Legacy?
  5. So I can choose to store some notes in a folder that isn't mirrored while keeping other notes in folder(s) that are mirrored (which is more or less what EN "local notebooks" feature does)? Joplin desktop doesn't let you open windows for each note? You just have one note viewable (in the main app) at a time? That would be a dealbreaker for me. I'm sure the devs know that many users and potential users need to have multiple notes open simultaneously, and be able to go back and forth editing those notes.
  6. Recently installed EN Legacy for Windows. Noticing an issue that I experienced a long time ago, but was since resolved. Namely, in Side List view, I I set the width such that not all columns are shown. The glitch I'm experiencing is sometimes when I edit a note in the main EN window, then click on another note in the Side List, the Side List scrolls horizontally to the right.
  7. Thanks for the feedback. Does it have a local-only option for notes you don't want in the cloud? Did you try Nimbus Note?
  8. After months of postponing EN updates, I finally updated today . . . without reading the release notes. Suffice to say I was shocked that the new and allegedly improved EN is just the web version in a desktop app wrapper. Many features lost, including Local Notebooks. Ironically, the day I discover that EN is now forcing all user data into the cloud is the day that cybersecurity firm FireEye announces they were hacked. If they can be hacked, it is just a matter of time until EN's cloud-stored user data is hacked. Sticking with EN Legacy until I find an alternative option that doesn't require users to store sensitive info in the cloud.
  9. Cybersecurity firm FireEye announced today that they were hacked. If they can be hacked, it is only a matter of time until EN's user data is hacked. And EN just took away users' ability to keep their data out of the cloud. I'm staying with EN Legacy until I can find an alternative.
  10. On a security related note, cybersecurity firm FireEye announced today that they were hacked. If they can be hacked, it is only a matter of time until EN's user data is hacked. And EN just took away users' ability to keep their data out of the cloud.
  11. Thanks, that was easy. Guess I'll have to find another solution before EN abandons the legacy version.
  12. I made the mistake of upgrading EN without reading the release notes. Upon launch of the upgraded EN, the app presents a list of my local notebooks and informs me that I have to transfer them to the new app. From the new app, I exported my local NBs to enex files. What's the most efficient way to go back to legacy EN? Should I uninstall new EN, install old EN, sync, then import the local NB enex files?
  13. Using System Configuration, I disabled all non-Microsoft Services and Startup apps. On reboot, I launched EN and the checkbox shortcut works - but only several times and then it stops working. Reboot again, same result. Strange. I've got the option enabled that converts [] to a checkbox, so that's good enough for now.
  14. No luck. I'll check after the next restart of the machine. CTRL+SHIFT+C is used in Win 10 here: https://www.howtogeek.com/353200/how-to-enable-copy-and-paste-keyboard-shortcuts-in-windows-10s-bash-shell/ But it's not enabled by default, and I have it disabled.
  15. I used to use CTRL+SHIFT+C to create checkboxes. This was in Windows 7. Recently moved to Windows 10 and the latest version of EN (6.22.3) and my beloved checkbox shortcut does nothing. Did something change? Other shortcuts, such as CTRL+SHIFT+B to insert bullet points, work fine.
  16. Closing in on 5 years and we still cannot exclude a notebook from a search. Emojis are a lousy consolation prize. 😒 It's 2019 and I'm still using workarounds for this lack of basic functionality.
  17. I don't use that script anymore because I dropped the process I had around that "daily" note. I don't see the code in my script file, so I must have deleted it. It's fairly simple to create as it just sends keystrokes to access menu options, tab, etc. You will have to insert pauses because without them, the sequence of keystrokes you send can outrun EN's ability to execute them. Again, it's simple - just look at every action you'd have to take to manually accomplish these actions using the keyboard. Then write the script to send those keystrokes (build up the script one step at a time, and add pauses as necessary to ensure reliable execution). If you run into issues, just post them here, and someone here can probably figure out the problem.
  18. Exactly. ;make Evernote active ^e:: IfWinExist, ahk_class ENMainFrame WinActivate return The script is looking for windows of class ENMainFrame, which don't exist when the main app isn't running. As @jefitosuggests, you could modify the script so that it checks for two states; if ENMainFrame exists, make it active; if it doesn't exist, launch the app. By way of background, I created this because my use case is I always have EN running, but it often isn't the active window (which will be the case for anyone who uses other apps frequently), so the script is just a quick way to make EN the active window so I can do whatever (create new note, search for a note, etc.) without having to use the mouse to click on the EN icon or use ALT-TAB to find EN among the many apps I have running.
  19. For Windows, the only option is an external scripting tool such as AHK or PhraseExpress, and even then, you're not bulk updating reminders, just individually updating them faster because you can use the keyboard and avoid the mouse.
  20. What good is that tag hierarchy for heavy mobile users if they cannot see it on mobile devices? This isn't a concern for me, as I use mobile devices mostly to recall information along with a little bit of info entry, and never for organization. But for someone who primarily uses mobile devices, info organization using tags is a real challenge.
  21. The knights of the notebook can be a bit sensitive. I wonder if Google had to deal with this when they switched from folders to labels. Couldn't imagine going back to folders for email, the thought alone makes me shudder.
  22. This thread is finally living up to my aspirations for it! ?
