This all worked in Legacy... HELP!!!

I can't figure out how to place an image mid-sentence (EG a small graphic/icon) to show what button to push, for example.

I also cannot figure out how to indent an image by only a couple of spaces (EG a bullet, then image, etc)

I can only set it at the LEFT MARGIN (or center/right), taking a complete line!  This is useless for documentation.

I "HOPE" I'm wrong!!!!

How do I now accomplish this??

Dang, I bet thats what happened...

You didn't set the sort options?

i did not see that, thank you.

I guess I'm curious now as to why it would think the old notes were more relevant than current updated notes LoL...

I search for'ray' and before my recent notes, it's listing a couple of notes from 2018 and 2020, why the heck is it doing that?

My fault, I was not clear. I was updating my list of EN wanted features and remarking that TOC is now possible in EN last version (not Legacy). And yes, I mean TOC inside a note, not from multiple notes.

Curious...

Can TOC be generated on Android?

Could you use the filtered notes window on the home page?

No, it's more difficult, subject to be different from time to time (changed by other users), slower, more steps, not just a trusty button click (for some of our users that need this simplicity).

Tags are in general sorted alphabetically.

You can try to put a „period“ ( .myimportanttag ) at the beginning to make a tag appear on top.

As you can see by the attached screenshot though, they're not sorted alphabetically, and I would like to put 'certain ones' at the top even though not alphabetically in that order, and I don't want to rename them as they've been that way for many years.  In legacy, I could pin specific tags to the desktop but I'm not sure how to do that now.

Can't figure out how in the world I'm supposed to put certain tags that I want at the very top, as I used to be able to put a set of tags on the home screen, but I can't figure out even how to do that...   There doesn't seem to be any order to the ones that I have circled on this screenshot... Maybe there's a way but I'm not sure how to change the order...

You'd have to ask Support - I had the same experience as reported above - on a couple of occasions I've had an attached file show up as 'untitled',  and in one case I downloaded it and added a PDF extension to recover the file,  in another the file name was present when I looked at the note again.

Anything that needs to be downloaded depends on local network traffic at both ends,  and the speed in between - and in Evernote's case there are millions of connected accounts,  so maybe there's still some queuing going on.

Let's hope so, right?  Maybe there's hope for the future...

Unless they are not experiencing these problems constantly, and when the problems happen they are able to correct them by waiting for a couple of minutes, as @s2sailor indicates in his post, and as I have experienced. I wish I knew why some people seem to experience this constantly, and others scarcely at all. Obviously it affects one's opinion of Evernote! I don't think it is the most common experience (bearing in mind that software forums obviously collect problem reports, not "working fine" reports), but it happens enough that Evernote really does need to at least offer an official explanation of it.

Ok, I looked at it again this morning, A few hours later, and everything is there... And my internet was on and I was doing other things the whole time on my Android phone. 

So I'm glad l I got the stuff back but more so that I think I can trust that at least sometimes I can get the stuff back.

So what's the need to take hours? These are small attachments.

Does some process have to take place on the back end to recover these?

I never experience this kind of stuff with v7

THAT should scare the CR@P out of anybody that has valuable attachments of any sort that were entrusting them to Evernote... Nuts!

This seems too bad to be true...

Even zip attachments etc... They were definitely there at some point!

Here's a note I just ran into that's missing tons of untitled attachments...

Yes, I read that too, thought, it was already implemented as a files browser but it wasn't. Let's see...

 

EagleFiler is Mac only, unfortunately, Keep It also has an iPad client. 

Since both are storing notes as RTF / RTFD in a standard file-/folder structure, the files along with their (finder) tags can be accessed with 3rd party tools and via browser as well, I use Leap.app a lot. 

This is no alternative to a (working) native Windows or Android client though. But it will do for occasional access.

They are completely different, Keep It and Eaglefiler have similar functionality as Legacy, but use the file system for storage (Mac only), notes are stored as RTF / RTFD. 

This has added benefit, Keep It uses iCloud to sync and Eaglefiler can use any cloud service (including locally hosted). If you need xattr support you can use iCloud, Dropbox or Synology Cloud (on your own NAS) to sync.

You can access your files from outside of both, I like Leap.app a lot. Outside changes are reflected in the apps, tags are standard finder tags, giving you a whole bunch of options over Legacy, tag management especially of Keep It is superb.

Keep It almost looks like Legacy, both apps actually seem to work, support is superb.

For me this is perfect, I just need a reliable notes and attachments storage for documents and files. I already have apps for task management etc. and don't want AI, I have full-text search and tags.

So again I guess my question is, does EagleFiler work with Android and Windows too? or is it a completely Apple ecosystem?  Is there an Android client available?

there is an ipad version for Keep It. Since it uses standard Mac file system and iCloud you can access all notes including tags etc. using 3rd party tools, even on the web (icloud). But of course this is different from having a real cross platform app.

 

How would you know? I had to use V10 on all Sonoma macs but since my main Macbook Pro is from 2015 I stayed with Monterey / Legacy until March. Nothing wrong with Monterey since it is still supported and gets security updates regularly.

But since the demise of Legacy in March thanks to OCLP I now run Sonoma without any issues and V10 with many issues on this MBP. 

Side note: OCLP / Sonoma runs smoothly on older, unsupported macs, in my case a MBP 15"  mid 2015 without ANY issue, so highly recommended.  

That's what i was saying... It's Apple only, and also no web.  So it's locked into Apple eco system.  Maybe ok for some, certainly not me.  Some limitations to be aware of, for sure.

I would totally agree,

- if there were only a couple of issues
- if there was a chance to get support within a reasonable amount of time
- if I had enough trust in V10 being at least a reliable base even for important stuff like Legacy definitely was
- if you would spare the rant against users with different experience from your own ('pity party')

As it is I would have to write tickets and answer unrelated support questions all day which I don't have time for.

Luckily I made a complete export to ENEX files right before Legacy stopped syncing, imported everything into EagleFiler and Keep It and will use Evernote only as a static data dump until my subscription expires in November.

Especially Keep It is like a clone to Legacy with added benefits, so I couldn't be more happy and encourage everyone who misses Legacy to give it a spin.

And if something goes wrong I get support repeatedly within a couple of hours including individual modifications to the apps that correct my  issues (found an issue with Eaglefiler with 'umlauts' and received an update within 2 hours (including analysing and recreating my issue, writing a fix and rolling out a beta just for me). 

Of course this kind of support is only possible with a small company, I wouldn't expect BS to react so quickly, but Evernote support has been abysmal not for the last few weeks but for the last few years when it was needed most and that is not something I can't accept with software that is so important to my work.

I see that BS are working to improve things but I have no confidence whatsoever in the code base they acquired so there will probably many more issues popping up. 

Since I now have two viable alternatives that do exactly what Legacy did and much more I will post issues here just for information and if others find them as well BS might react. 

 

"Keep It" only supports Mac / IOS and doesn't even have a web version.  So Evernote has cross platform beat in spades. 

For instance,  I have Macs and iPads, but also Windows and Androids.  

In all the many many problems I've had (every day more!), with this "upgrade"... i just realized that yes, i too have missing, and very important PDF clips!  Ho*y sh*t, thanks EN for such an unbelievably bad upgrade!  Now what!  

No, legacy wasn't perfect, but THIS is the craziest FORCED upgrade piece of ***** I've ever experienced (I've been in I.T. since 1980!)

So frustrating!

I'd be working full time for Evernote for free if i was properly testing, proving, and documenting everything!!!

How about at least a public admittance and apology, EN / BS ??

And no, i don't WANT to jump ship!

Has no one posted ANYTHING here since 22 hours ago?? Or am i just not seeing postings??

I would be very interested in financially contributing to a startup of programmers who used Legacy as their model for a new system.  V10 is so utterly F***c'd up that I can't even right-click to copy the name of a tag anymore.  Obviously, by the activity in this & other related threads, there are many MANY people who depended on EN for more than just a grocery list & we aren't here simply complaining about minor nuisances.  I was on a job site yesterday & couldn't even access attachments in my notes that I needed.

Please keep offering your workarounds, alternatives & ideas to those of us who care & actually need an app like Legacy!

Respectfully and SADLY, I just can't take this v10 much more, just SO many UNBELIEVABLE problems.  I'm going to start looking at and testing Obsidian. Is there a good A-Z that's NOT on this forum?  (I'm afraid this forum or (healthy) discussion may get shut down, so having it elsewhere would be a better idea (or at least duplicated elsewhere)...

When I have a note open, and it has a youtube link in it, in Small Preview mode, the CPU goes nuts.
It makes the fans on my MacbookAir come on! (Hardly ever does this normally)

Watch the cpu as i go onto and off the youtube link in my video below...

(and if i flip tto another app, it STILL consumes that cpu!)
V10 is a DISASTER for me, so far!!!, PLEASE FIX IT UP!

(This is just ONE of sooo many bugs/problems, but I don't have full time to document them (FULL TIME JOB))...

(I have ran Appcleaner, this is full new install!)

It is 💯 % dead. I am pretty sure the guys in the engine room are already busy dismantling all that is left.

I doubt that your claim of „most of the users“ is founded by any data. I am for example happy that they abandoned this black hole of a product platform some years ago and now finally pulled the plug on this dead weight.

I'll live with it, as long as BS now goes CRAZY and uses the resources and simplification to fix the myriad of problems!

Does v10 use a ton more hard drive than v7 legacy??

My two macs are now saying low space!

TONS of files under ~/Library/Application Support/Evernote/resource-cache/...

I thought so, but just wanted to be sure

So "Evernote Helper" is the one to watch, right?
