You can drag it smaller but I haven't found a way of getting rid of it altogether.

[Feature Released in Version 10.4] Top List View
Mike P replied to TonyLim's question in Desktop Answers/Solutions Archive
No you're not mssing it. While you can control the fields that you can see in the list view you can still only sort by the rather limited choices. Hopefully this is something that can be reintroduced fairly easily in the future. -
GPS location information missing
Mike P replied to gluckert0's topic in Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 10.0 and above)
I haven't been able to find it either. It is not in the note info window and it is not an option in the list view - in fact EN of hijacked the word location in this view to mean notebook. However, the information is still there behind the scenes because if you use the advanced search syntax you can still search for notes created within a longitude and latitude range. -
Update needs work
Mike P replied to mcarrara's topic in Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 10.0 and above)
It's annoying that you can select several notes but not then drag and drop them. You can use the blue multislect menu that appears to move the notes into a notebook which is less convenient thn drag and drop but faster than doing it one note at a time. I'm afraid that is a feature that is not going to go away. It's not a bug. We were told in the beta that this could take up to 3 minutes. It has generally got faster (it was taking much longer than 3 minutes) but because searching is happening on the server it will never be as fast as the old version. This is a real problem if you use tags dynamically - for example to select notes to work on. -
Search functionality
Mike P replied to Tim Kowal (b)'s topic in Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 10.0 and above)
ctrl-Q is supposed to be coming back but I don't think we know exactly what it will allow you to do. Personally I don't have a major problem with the current setup. If I'm in a notebook and hit the search bar there is an option to filter on that notebook. I just click that. -
I agree. Notebooks should also appear in the filter menu but they do at least get listed in the search suggestions and you can filter on them there. The undocumented advanced search syntax for stacks still works in the new version. So if you type the following: stack:mystackname smith you will get results for notes containing the word "smith" within the stack called "mystackname".

Selecting Parent Tag Searches Children as AND operation instead of OR
Mike P replied to BriWit's topic in Web Client Issues
I agree. Why would anybody want to or even remember to tag a note with the parent tag and every single child tag. Madness. -
You can drag the tag onto a note in the note list to assign it to that note. All management of tags is now done in the main tags window which pops out when you click the tags icon in the sidebar.

Double number of notes
Mike P replied to Rafal108's topic in Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 10.0 and above)
I assume you are expecting 5. How many does the web version give? I certainly had issues similar to this in the beta but not at the moment -
Search functionality
Mike P replied to Tim Kowal (b)'s topic in Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 10.0 and above)
Agreed. Is there anybody who adds every single child tag to a note? This is a ridiculous default. If we had the option to select a single tag and the ability to shift-click to add further tags it would restore the sidebar tag functionaility back to being useable. -
Move back/forward shortcut Keys ?
Mike P replied to AdmiralP's topic in Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 10.0 and above)
They don't work for me either. I assume they are supposed to do the same as the forward and backward arrows at the top left of the screen. -
I can see no reason to cancel a monthly subscription now when you can continue to use the legacy version. If you have an annual subscription it's trickier as you need to make a judgement about how long the legacy will continue and whether v10 will give you the particular functionaility you need in that time. If you can not live with some of the fundamental decisions (e.g. no longer a native app) then you might go now rather than wait and see. My point is simply that cancellation of subscriptions now gives a very incomplete picture of the future.

I can assure you there was plenty of feedback from a dedicated group of preview and beta users. I can't think of a single thing that has been raised since the general release that had not been raised in the preview and beta. The issue is not having more users testing the app . The issue is listening to the testers and then not releasing it until it is ready. I still consider this to be a beta whatever the label says. The post they put in the forum when they make new releases acknowledge thay have still got lots of work to do. You can continue to use the old version and I will continue to use both until at some point in the future when I will be forced to make a decision between the hopefully much improved V10 and the alternatives.

Drag&Drop multiple notes between notebooks
Mike P replied to mnaoumov's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 10.0 and above)
You select the notes using ctrl-click and shift-click as appropriate. A new blue multiple note menu thingy pops up as soon as you have selected two notes. The first icon allows you to move the notes. There are also options to add tags, merge, delete etc -
Blank Screen After Update
Mike P replied to Tina2020's topic in Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 10.0 and above)
This seems to be a common problem. First thing to try would be to close the app (including the elephant icon in the task tray). Then make sure there are no EN processes still running using alt-ctrl-del to open the task manager. You needed to close those processes. Then try opeining it again. Alternatively just reboot your computer.- 1 reply

I agree with most of what you say. However if you are in a notebook and open search there is the option to only search in that notebook directly under the search box. We can argue about whether it should default to a global search or a notebook search but the option is there. Earlier versions of search would always revert to relevance (whatever that means) but it seems as though that has now changed. How are you clearing the search? If you have no filters it is easy enough to click the cross and then you get thrown back to all notes as you say. If you have filters applied it is an absolute pain to clear the search because you have to separately clear the text and the filters. In that case I normally click into all notes or a notebook.

Can't open Excel attachment
Mike P replied to nstacy3's topic in Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 10.0 and above)
It's still working for me. Does double click also not work? -
Issues with tags
Mike P replied to oldcodgeman2's topic in Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 10.0 and above)
There are several places that you can find a tag tree. Which one do you mean? The tag tree in the sidebar is completely useless compared to the old version. However if you click the tags icon and open the main tags window, I find I can do most of what I need to do using a combination of drag and drop and the three dots menu for each tag. I remove tags in one of two ways. Either I select a tag at the bottom of a note and press delete or I use the pop up menu and delete tag. Alternatively you can use the edit tags menu and either untick them or hit the cross on each tag. I've certainly never had to resort to using the web app so if none of these things are working it is clearly s bug.
