  1. You are right. The service page of EN took some more reality. I could report a bug (which I could not anymore for a month). I just did it for the above issue. Let's see what happens.
  2. Did not notice that the banner was gone. Last time I submitted a ticket (early March) about local note not being able to show with no connection. Still waiting. Got 2 polite messages saying they are working on it but not much help otherwise. Will try again with this one I guess. If I find an appropriate category. Because in the last 3 weeks they removed all categories but related with renewal. let s see if others have a better proposal or a solution for the issue discussed in this thread...
  3. Taking one note that exported with no title and exporting it again manually and alone generated a file with the title of the note (so Evernote finds it fine) but in the ENEX file the <title> tag is "untitled note". Taking the same note and exporting it to PDF is generating a PDF with the proper title. This looks like a real bug. I am on Mac OS version 10.81.4 I also checked the last export of Legacy and the title of the note is the correct one in the ENEX file. Should I report this as a bug ( assume this is not Mac OS specific) or has it been already reported?
  4. Hi: Same problem here. Has it been solved? Contacting support? Even this does not work? Is there at least a work around? Thanks
  5. Hi If my keyboard on by example a galaxy tab s9 is set to floating then I have no means to get to the note formatting toolbar. If I set the keyboard to standard then all is well and a new note or editing brings the toolbar at the bottom of the note window. I tried this on a phone s10 and have same behavior. It's there a means of forcing the toolbar to show? Do I miss something. I am on v10.80.0 Is this a known issue? Thanks
  6. Heated exchange! Those loving legacy and those loving V10 would probably agree on one thing: if Evernote dies then we lovers will all be in troubles. I have assumed for months that the "new" company behind Evernote would never dare turn Legacy off as the former did. 2 weeks ago I started to get really worried and tried a) to find an alternative b) to get v10 to work For a) I did not find many convincing alternatives aside of Obsidian with the Sync option. I got 5000+ sample notes out of Evernote into Obsidian in a few minutes with the standard importer with pictures and attachments and tags. Even the note links work! I have not tried the sync (which allows multi device multi platform) yet though. I find the user interface really basic but as with every new tool you tend to get used to things with time. I really miss the note thumbnail (which is by the way actually also broken in V10) and do not quite like the file/folder approach. It used to be more expensive than Evernote but with the new price increases announced this comes probably even. The real hurdle at this time aside user friendliness and the unproven reliability on a daily basis (especially of the tricky sync feature) is that I would have to change quite a lot of stuff I did using the Evernote API. So I continue on b) For b) after a full backup of all my notebooks I got rid of all my legacy installs on all my devices and got the latest V10 (I started with 10.79.0 a few weeks ago). Giving time for the syncs to settle and the conversion to complete (here I speak about days) V10 does start to deliver some useful and sensible results. It does seem to become speedier with time and more reliable. Offline notes seem to work BUT offline notebook do not for me. I keep having notes that are shown as local and downloaded but when offline do not show i.e. show as not being available. I also have a major issue on the Windows version where any attachment or picture put in a note from the Windows app do never (here I speak about weeks) show on any other device/platform. Text do sync fine though and this much better than Legacy ever did. Pictures and attachments inserted from other devices/platforms do come fine everywhere though (even on the Windows devices). In fact I got a Windows app working fine and it seems that the problem is not Windows but the IT infrastructure of the 2 problematic PCs that is probably filtering things out or slowing things down. Here I need to dig more... The note thumbnail is also broken (some here claim that it cannot be broken since it never worked even on our beloved Legacy: fact is that with a simple workaround that does not work anymore on V10 I used to be able to get the thumbnail I wanted and now on V10 I cannot). I assume that at one point of time this will be fixed. SO not nice but no show stopper at this time. I also missed the ability to set the location on notes but PinkElephant helped me today finding a solution on the mobile versions. I implemented a work around on the non mobile version using the API. I am therefore here good to go assuming that this will also be fixed eventually. And anyhow Obsidian does not have a native position field and therefore although this is not nice I am better off with EN on this matter. So in short: after hours of trying, reading this forum (thanks all for your contributions, suggestions, ...), posting, updating, backing up, de installing, re installing, syncing, force syncing... V10 seems to get rather close to be working for me. Naturally staying on Legacy would have spared me all this work but I assume that the owner of EN will not get much more funding "just" to keep EN Legacy running. I assume they must show results and new features and get new users. We will see in a couple of days how things turn out...
  7. OK. Thanks. Your solution above already helped a lot. On the Mac I will then work with the API to stuff the information into the proper field. Not great but at least on the mobile platform it works. Thanks again.
  8. OK. Thanks. On Android this works fine. Same on iOS. I actually need to long press the pin to get it to move. On Mac OS this does not work though. I have no access to the position location. Neither does the map show. Do you have a way to get to this position field on PC and or Mac OS? Actually the solution for me could be: a) have on PC and Mac OS the same function with the map and the drag of the pin as on the mobile versions b) have a text field with the position in the note information that would show the coordinate and would be editable (also copy and paste able) c) possibly a second position field with reverse geolocation of the said coordinate On Legacy b) and c) was combined in one field and I found it annoying for remote places and when needing to enter the position in another GPS system Thanks again.
  9. Yes adding new features... but not fixing long lasting issues. The thumbnail management has never been perfect but at least the workaround of making the image you wanted as a thumbnail the widest (in term of pixels) worked always. Now even this does not work anymore. Having a button or something on an image to set it as thumbnail would be clearly better. Understand me well: it is not that I do not like those "new" features: task management, connection with a folder and with a calendar, the concurrent working on a note are really cool things, easier to use search but ... I mostly take notes with Evernote, online and offline and this for ages. When this basic function is not reliable anymore or it takes for ever to get to my note then I do not even want to work with these new features, and really question if I still want to work with Evernote. Granted lately they have been improving a lot, turning version after versions. They are obviously sweating and fighting probably for life. Version 10.80 "almost" works for me except the offline thing and sometimes the long lag (here I speak about minutes) to get a note from one device to another. So there is hope. Maybe they will get to fixing the thumbnail thing once they cleaned up the mess out of 10.x. If I had a say in their priorities though I would pause with the new features and get the base of taking and sharing notes across devices rock solid again. The thumbnail is a key element of this but unfortunately not the only one.
  10. Dear PinkElephant: Thanks for replying. How can I add location myself? On the non mobile app I do not find any mention of location. On the mobile version I can view it but did not find a way of setting it. How do you do this? Any clue? Thanks
  11. HI, Would be nice to have this feature. This in particular since the current 10 version does not refresh the thumbnail if you add or change a picture. Even if you remove the picture the thumbnail it remains as thumbnail. In the "earlier" time with Legacy and before you could at least resize a picture to make it smaller or put a larger picture and this would work out as you want it . This workaround doe not seem to work for me anymore. It seems that the thumbnail is actually generated once per device and not refreshed later. I therefore have thumbnails across devices that are different based on when I synced the note first. Not too nice... Does anybody know have to force the refresh of the thumbnail? Thanks
  12. Hi, Have been fighting with the sync of pictures since I am on 10.x i.e. since the past 2 weeks on Windows app. It works now for me fine with Mac or Android or Web (also on Windows). I am here on Windows 10, upgraded to 10.79.3, removed the data folder, rebooted, logged in in Evernote, let it settle for at least 2 hours with perfect connection. After this I create a new note on Win, add a text, take a small screen shot (300x200 or something like this), add a closing text, click on an other note, wait. Go to Mac, find the note in the Home of Evernote, click it, I get the text fine. In place of the small screen shot I get a white circle and a blue rotating segment. I go to the Web interface on the Mac: same thing. I go back to the PC where I generated the note. All look fine. I then ensure on the Mac and the Web that the note is not opened. I then go to the PC and reload the troublesome note, select an other note. Go to the Web on the Mac: are thing white circle with a rotation blue segment. I then go on the PC and add a short text at the bottom of the note: go back to home, go to on the Mac and the added text shows up as expected but the image is still not showing. In short: embedded pictures added on the Windows side just do not sync with the server. Everything else in term of sync seems to work. Other platform do no show the same problem, Any idea? Thanks
