This problem has been well documented. When you click on a tag in the sidebar it filters on that tag AND all the sub tags. This is very strange default behaviour and I have not yet heard of anybody thinking this is sensible. The EN team have not in any way explained or justified the behaviour. In the first released version of 10.5 on the web a few weeks ago (10.5.1 I think) this behaviour had changed to selecting just the single tag. I was therefore looking forward to the release of the Windows desktop version of 10.5. Sadly the Windows desktop version (10.5.6) has retained the non-sensical selection of tags and all sub-tags. Looking at the web (now also on 10.5.6) this has also reverted back to the selection of tags and all sub-tags. Why? I'm fed up with this error message when I accidentally click a tag after having been selecting tags that way for years. The default behaviour of the main tags window is now to select the single tag rather than this being an option via the three dots. This is a huge step forward but the sidebar needs to be consistent with this.

The good news is that this doesn't happen to me so you don't need to worry that this behaviour is by design! Have you checked the web version? That will allow you to see if it is a sync issue.

That's interesting. Could you outline how to do it because I'm not seeing it at the moment. Thanks.

Completely agree. I like the new checklists (mainly because of the ease of reordering by drag and drop) but if I want a check box at the beginning of a line I should be allowed to have one! It would also be nice to choose whether to strikeout the text. If you are not aware from other posts the workaround is to put a space before the checkbox. So <space>[] inserts a checkbox at the beginning of a line, that doesn't change to a checklist when you hit enter. You will need to add it at the beginning of every line though.

That would also be my preferred solution.

I don't fully understand what you are trying to do. If you mean move multiple tags within the hierarchy. I agree you can't do that - I didn't know until I just tried it that you could do that in 6.25! You also can't drag a tag from an existing note to a new note. You can assign a tag to multiple notes by selecting multiple notes and using the blue multiselect menu that appears. I don't really understand why new tags should behave differently from old tags - you obviously have a different workflow.

The Evernote servers seem to be having a particularly bad day. I added a tag to a note at around the time of my last post to this thread, 7 hours ago, and the note is still not listed when I search for that tag in either the Windows V10 or web versions. This is completely unacceptable. My impression is that the average time to index a change in a note has come down since the early preview and beta stages but there is still far too much variation.

The web is the definitive version of what is in the database because there are no synchronisation issues. It may well be that the desktop version will sync if given enough time. Needless to say you need to be very careful if you have more than one version of EN open at the same time or you can get in a complete mess.

There are actually two spearate issues here. Firstly changing the tags of a note, either adding or removing, takes a while to be reflected in search. The time taken is anything from a few seconds to minutes or hours. Secondly, search results are not dynamic. ie it does not automatically update if something changes. There is also no manual refresh so you literally have to rerun the search, which if it's a complex search and not saved is not straightforward. You can continue to use the legacy version and hope that the issues are addressed.

If you mean Windows V10 you can revert to the legacy version here: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052560314?fbclid=IwAR2TNqp-eGRH3Ds8Vfu-CiKPjYolJzZ_keR9eWQaDahJ2GN-7hwn595zI8w&__s=bsetfdgzirbvqtopurph

I don't think the developers originally understood that people use tags dynamically. ie it's not just to find a note in 6 months time but it's also to identify notes for action, review etc now. I hope that if they do undestand this now the new search architecture will allow a much fastrt search and that this is not a fundamental issue. I take some comfort from @Shane D.'s comments above so we will have to wait and see.

I think on balance I would also prefer a proper search rather than a "starts with" search, although it might increase false results. I like being able to type a "special character" and see all my tags beginning with that character without it being cluttered by tags that have the character in the middle. For those who aren't aware the full edit tags window (alt-ctrl-T) does search for tags properly.

I agree. To my mind if you have a table (e.g side or top list view) you should be able to sort by any field you add to that table.

I agree. You can add coloured icons (via windows emoji keyboard win + ; ) but that's not really convenient if you often have to type out the name of the tag in full.(e.g. using the search syntax)

Well you should still have your existing ones. The easiest way to create a new one is drag a note, tag, notebook or saved search into the shortcuts area at the top of the sidebar. As you can see from the screen shot you can drag it into any position you want which is handy for the ctrl+number shorcuts..

If you have copied multiple links and copy them into a numbered list you can drag and drop the items around to get them in the order you want them.

Shorcuts still exist but there is no longer the option to have them along the top. They are now only found at the top of the sidebar. I agree that this is nowhere near as covenient as the old system. The keyboard shortcut ctrl + number will take you straight to the appropriate shorcut; ctrl+4 to the 4th in the list and so on so that might help.

I think that the issue is that it does not appear as the title of the window. This also appears in the icon in the toolbar so is actually quite useful. I can't reproduce the issue so compare my screen shot.

I find that the easiest way to add a code block in the new version is the markdown method of typing three backticks (```) followed by enter.

Not exactly sure what you mean by list. Do you mean move tafs within the tag hierarchy? If you do this can be achieved from the main tags window obtained by clicking the tags icon in the sidebar. It can no longer be done in the sidebar.

In my experience sometimes I do get a pdf preview image and sometimes I don't. I haven't been able to spot any definite pattern but for notes that have just one pdf attachment and no other attachments it appears that you don't get a preview image if the pdf is bigger than about 10MB. I've not been through every note containing a pdf so I may be wrong.

It's now ctrl-backspace to delete a note.

Currently you can not select multiple notes and then drag and drop them into a notebook. I believe EN are working on improving this. The current method is to use the blue multiselect menu that pops up whenever you select two or more notes. Not nearly as convenient as drag and drop but quicker than doing them individually. All operations on multiple notes are incredibly slow (even adding a tag) so if this is something you do alot I would stick with the legacy version.

It is odd to see the highlighted note in the note list not being dispalyed. V10 is generally not good at dynamic updating (e.g. searches etc). If you want to avoid using the mouse, pressing enter also dispays the highlighted note.

Clipped content now appears inside an html content or web clip box. I think the reason is that as websites become more and more complex the ability of the webclipper to convert content to EN format means formatting etc is often messed up. The downside is that you can't edit the text of even highlight bits. If you want to make any changes you have to "simplify and make editable" using the magic wand icon or the three dots menu shown at the top of the box in your screenshot. If that messes it up then I've generally found that the change can be undone using ctrl-Z.
