I agree. EN QA processes have always been weak. We are fast approaching the equilibrium position where the number of "new" (i.e. reintroduced) features is balanced by the number features that used to work but don't any longer.

Not sure this explains the date and time issue but it does the other shortcuts you are missing

Yes

Can you give a bit more detail. How did you do this before and how are you doing it now? I agree that being able to create and nest tags in the sidebar was really useful. Now you have to do it in the main tags window (alt-ctrl-4 or click "Tags" in the sidebar). I personally don't see that as a huge issue, but I don't know your workflow.

Personally I actually like it how it is. When I type "+" I only want to see the tags that begin with + not any that have + within the tag. I can always use the full edit tags menu (alt-ctrl-T) if I want a full search. My tag structure is different - I'm not suggesting that you should have to change yours just explaining mine. Using your example I would have separate tags for Landscape, lighting, history, ideas etc. I would then add both the landscape and ideas tags to the note. Ideas would come up when I typed ideas. If I wanted to find landscaping ideas I would have to filter by two tags but the advantage to me is that I can get all my landscaping notes by clicking only one tag and even get all my ideas (potentially from other areas as well) by selecting ideas. Just a different way of thinking about tagging.

I think something like this has been reported before and I have certainly experienced the issue. A solution that worked for me is to make sure you not only close the app but you also close it in the Windows system tray (elephant icon at bottom right of screen) before you switch off the computer. If you are already doing this then I have no further ideas other than perhaps checking in task manager that EN really is not running before switching off.

This issue was reported on 24 Oct 2020. We have gone through several versions since then so clearly users loosing data is not a priority.

That is exactly my experience and that of others. You think it's worked and then you come back to it and find images and pdfs missing and have to look in the trash for the orginal notes. Surely the raison d'etre of a note taking app is to keep your notes safe so I do not understand why this is not at the top of Evernote's priority list.

This has been recorded elsewhere and has been a problem for some time. Merging notes containing pdfs can also remove the pdfs so I think it may be a general issue with notes containing attachments. Given that merging can lead to loss of data I am very surprised that EN have not given fixing this greater priority.

I agree this is a possible solution. However I frequently modify checklists "on the fly" and do not need to keep the completed checklist. A packing list is a good example of this. You then need to remember to make a new template each time rather than just clear the checkboxes. Fortunately, for a simple list like this, my workaround described in an earlier post in this thread works reasonably well.

I'm only really interested in three of the current widgits and I like how I can remove the ones I don't want. However I feel that the available space could be used a lot better. Currently there is a .lot of scrolling required even though I have plenty of space available. Please add the ability to expand widgits vertically as well as horizontally. This is particularly important for pinned notes. If I double the size of the shortcuts widgit I expect to be able to see twice as many shortcuts without scrolling, rather than the same number twice the size.

There has been some discussion as to where the boundary line is between a general purpose note taking/storage app and a more sophisticated and specialised app. For example I've seen requests for a greater selection of fonts, language specific formatting of code blocks etc etc. Because of users different specialist needs I doubt whether we would all ever agree on what is core so Evernote will have to decide and we can go elsewhere if we disagree. Going forward I would hope that the new architecture will allow much tighter integration with other apps. This would potentially allow the embedding of all sorts of contents seamlessly. We've already seen this, for example, with YouTube videos that can now be played within the note. This sounds like a better solution than asking Evernote to introduce something which is probably only going to be used by a small number of users and for which they have no expertise.

I agee which is why my approach was to try to generalise it to make it the addition of unicode characters, which is something people have been talking about on the forums for years. @EvaluatingEvernoteI found an alternative which is to use a replacement for the windows character map which for me is too dependent on the fonts installed on your system. Something like BabelMap which also allows you to search by character name. So a search for quot brings up several possible characters. It is though still essentially a copy and paste solution.

Things have moved on since this post. For me 10.6.9 now updates tags instantaneously. There are some reports in the forum that this is a not a universal experience but for me at least it is much improved. The second issue is still being worked on. See

This is disappointing. I have repeated your steps but in my case everything worked as expected. I have had no problems with this since 10.6.9 but I know others are still experiencing the problem. The fact that you are seeing a difference between filtering and searching (steps 4 and 6) is very strange. To reiterate what @gbarry says in the release notes for 10.6.9 (forum version) Perhaps he did literally mean filter but not search.

Assuming you are running 10.6.9 then it is obviously still very variable which is very disappointing.

A text expander expands some easily remembered shortcut text into a different text string. I don't use one so I don't have a specific recommendation. I agree with @PinkElephantthat EN is not a word processing application and a line has to be drawn somewhere in terms of what it can and cannot do. I do think though that the ability to easily insert a unicode character is definitely on the note taking side of the line. Interestingly, the alt+123 method (using the numeric keyboard) of adding ascii/unicode characters sometimes works in V10 but it is inconsistent.

I'm guessing that if Evernote introduced the option of not indenting and not crossing out many of the objections to checklists would disappear. I actually love checklists because of the crossing out and the ability to reorder things so easily. There are occassions though when I don't want the crossing out and have to resort to check boxes. I suppose that being able to configure each individual checklist would be more tricky but not impossible.

Do you mean like this: Unicode characters generally render correctly in V10. However there is no way of adding them except by pasting in the correct character (which is how I created the above). There are numerous sources on the web to find the correct character. If you need to do this routinely you would probably want a text expander to automate the task. Adding emojis is much easier but I'm not aware of a suitable quotation marks emoji.

Agreed. It is ridiculous that this doesn't work and has been raised throughout the preview, beta and now release stages. The only workaround is to download the image and then insert it where you want it or to drag it to the desktop and then from the desktop to the target document.

Evernote has never had this feature and I agree that it would be really useful. There is a related (at least in my mind) request for collapsible sections. Evernote has never been great at helping you navigate around long notes. My approach has always been that when a note gets too long I split it up and use a table of contents note to navigate to the new shorter notes which are effectively sections of a long "virtual note". This is obviously not ideal but it works in most cases. Perhaps the new sections formatting could be expanded to add some code behind the scenes that allowed you to easily move between sections.

As I recall, most of the discussion that @CalSrefers to was about tags. There has been a massive improvement in the speed that tags are indexed in 10.6.9 such that for me, being able to find a newly tagged note is almost instantaneous. I had hoped that these improvements were for the whole of seach but apparently this is not the case. Previously we would have to wait for minutes/hours/days for tags to appear and it appears that this is still the situation for a text search.

Agreed. Down arrow followed by up arrow does it but I agree the cursor should start in the text box, for consistency as well as logic. Pressing space bar selects or deselects a tag. This is kind of consistent with other check boxes within EN although I'd surprised if there were not counter examples.

The tag functionailty in the sidebar is very much reduced compared to the legacy. All you can now do is to filter by a (single) tag and allocate a tag by dragging and dropping onto a note in the note list. All the functionaility you mention, and more, is available in the maIn tags window which can be found by clicking the tags heading in the sidebar or with the shortcut alt-ctrl-5 As well as being able to drag and drop tags within the hierarchy you can also access a menu from the three dots that appear if you hover over a tag.

Is there a way of doing this in the legacy version? In the legacy version you could use the shift or ctrl keys when dragging the bounding box to take the screen shot and save it as a file or copy it to the clipboard. I used to copy screen shots to the clipboard and then paste them into one note. That functionaility is not (currently) available in V10. However there are many screen shot apps out there (including the windows 10 snipping tool) so I'm currently doing that. The copy selection and paste to EN tools are also not in V10.
