  1. I wasn't aware there used to be a shortcut to do a fresh search but I can see why you might want it. This reminds me of another small irritation that hasn't been changed since v10 launched, and that is the previous search term is not selected when using a keyboard shortcut. In most applications, invoking the search function will select the previous search term so that it's automatically deleted if one types in a new search term. In Evernote, one must first delete the old term before typing in a new term.
  2. Not continuously, but periodically, which is still useful. That way when the app is launched there is less to sync and the user can get back to their work faster. Using WorkManager an app can request to periodically check in and sync the latest updates. To conserve battery life, the OS decides when to allow this and bundles multiple app requests together so that the CPU can be quiet and radio powered down in-between updates. When the phone is on unmetered WiFi and charging, it will sync more frequently. When on battery and mobile data, it will sync less frequently. On iOS, an app can update once or twice an hour using a background notification. There are other APIs as well, that is just one example. There's even a user setting so users can allow or disallow individual apps to be refreshed in the background:
  3. While it's true that mobile OS's exert a lot of influence to maintain battery life, it's not true that "A full notes app has no chance." A properly designed app can be designed to perform some background syncing. On Android, for example, an app can use WorkManager to manage background sync. I'm less familiar with iOS (which historically has been stricter than Android when it comes to background apps) but I believe there is a way to do something similar. The apps just have to be coded to use the features allowed by the OS.
  4. Would love to see some mobile-specific feature updates to replace features that used to be in the app pre-v10, not just bug fixes. Though I'm eager to see bug fixes too.
  5. Export your note to pdf and see if the numbered list is correct in the pdf.
  6. A limit of one notebook and 50 notes, per a Reddit user who provided screenshots at the link below. Screenshot credit to https://www.reddit.com/user/theskywalker74 Link to post and comment:
  7. The Gmail extension is a workaround, but it's much slower and less intuitive than the browser-based clipper.
  8. It's gone from the web clipper, which is the superior way to clip Gmail emails for me. As I said in another thread, it really shines when needing to save a subset of emails out of a long email thread.
  9. As stated above, this only seems to work for individual emails, not for long email threads, which is where the web clipper really shines. Out of a long thread the clipper would allow me to choose the specific emails that are important to save and save them all in one go.
  10. I clipped a web page earlier today and it's very sluggish to open this note. Opens first with a white screen and "Saving..." in the lower-right. Then after a few seconds the content loads. Other notes load much faster so perhaps there's something about this clipped website that's causing it to load slowly?
  11. There's also a thread in the Mac Issues forum on this topic, but this is a cross-desktop-platform issue so perhaps better here. I followed up again with support on this issue today; let's see if there's been any progress. Fingers crossed.
  12. Just tried again and still unable to clip emails from Gmail. Just followed up with support again. I opened a ticket with support weeks ago and they were vague as to whether this was a planned feature removal or a temporary situation. Perhaps the support rep simply didn't know.
  13. The new Pixel 8 (shipping next week and currently available for pre-order) will have a guaranteed 7 years of software and security updates. If you use a traditional postpaid carrier plan in the USA it's available for "free" at all the major carriers, I believe. FYI!
  14. Hmmm, doesn't Evernote 10 now support Android 9 and later? If you're running Android 8.1 or earlier, your phone must be a bit of a security risk. Be very careful what you do on it (and perhaps time for an upgrade, if you can swing it.)
  15. App store certainly supports staged rollouts, though it's up to developers to use them. Overview here: https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/update-your-app/release-a-version-update-in-phases Certainly it's possible that staged rollouts are more necessary / have become absolutely standard in the Android world due to the diversity of hardware/software and perhaps historically they were considered less necessary on iOS. Still possible to FUBAR any app update though, so I think it's good practice to stage rollouts no matter the platform.
  16. Yes agreed, it would be nice to hear from @Federico Simionato the situations that caused data loss that (hopefully) have been fixed in this release.
  17. I don't have specific reproducible steps, but my experience with data loss in recent months involved trying to open a pdf embedded into an older note and having Evernote occasionally "eat" the pdf. I have also seen some posts of people losing text added to a new (or newly edited) note (while the app continued to claim "All changes saved" in the lower-right). Hopefully both of these issues are fixed. 🙏
  18. I think it's important to read the room and pick your moments. This thread is a feature request for a feature that a lot of people are passionate about. It's not a good look for people who don't see the value in the feature to make dismissive comments in a feature request thread. IMHO.
  19. Scroll down further - underneath the "Talk to other users" option, is there not an option to contact support?
  20. I'm not sure you'll have any luck having support do this for you on a free account. Other users with similar situations as you have reported good results by subscribing for a month of the cheapest plan in order to temporarily gain access to the note history feature. Best of luck.
  21. I just replied to you in another thread, and my comment there succinctly summarizes my dissatisfaction with Evernote's reliability since the change to CRDT. I experienced sync conflicts in the past, and those were extremely annoying, but I never had notes randomly deleting information like I have since the switch to CRDT:
  22. Just happened again, in the .7 point release. Tried to open a PDF in a note that was first created five years ago, after an error message and flashing dialog boxes that opened and closed too quickly to read, the PDF eventually opened, but it deleted itself from my note, leaving the below: Are there any bug fixes between .7 and .10 to address this issue? Because this is frankly getting a little tiresome. This is a more sensitive than average note, so I'm not inclined to send over that URL and logs this time, unfortunately. Since this happened my Evernote, auto updated to the .10 release, but that didn't bring the note attachment back. Fortunately, I saved it separately and will be able to replace it myself.
  23. Tried twice to logout (web) including delete all Cookies, but one of my notes still refuses to load and is stuck with "Saving..." in the lower-right. This may be a different issue as it's not a note I edited yesterday, it's actually the note of recovered attachments that you helped me recover five days ago, but it still refuses to load. The note contents for this particular note are not important to me, I only mention to point out there may still be an issue with some notes stuck in this "Saving..." situation.
