Drag&Drop multiple notes between notebooks
Mike P replied to mnaoumov's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 10.0 and above)
You can select multiple notes using ctrl-click. The issue that @mnaoumov raised is that you cannot then drag and drop those notes - you have to use the longwinded menu process to do it. I actually raised this back in the beta and was told that it was in the future plans. At the moment all operations on multiple notes are painfully slow. Just try selecting 10 notes and adding the same tag to them all. -
Does it look like this? In the screenshot I'm dragging to All Notes in which case the new note will be created in my default notebook. If I start with a notebook and drag the pdf file to the note list the new note is created in that notebook. I've just sucessfully added an 85MB pdf file using this method. I've always thought that dragging trhe file to the note list is a bit odd but it is the same behaviour as the old version.

Search notes in trash
Mike P replied to mczin's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 10.0 and above)
The windows version doesn't seem to behave the same as the ios version. There is no special search box. When in trash hitting the search bar does not give the option to filter in trash (as a normal notebook would). In short I haven't yet found a way of doing it. -
Drag Notes To Tags
Mike P replied to TechBarber's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 10.0 and above)
Tag functionaility in the sidebar is very limited compared with the legacy version. You can create tags by typing a new tag in the tag area at the bottom of the note but if you have a tag hierarchy you cannot specify using this method where the tag sits. While you can not drag a note to a tag you can drag a tag to the note in the note list (not into the main body of the note). That's always how I used to do it in the legacy version. -
I've never used the print to Evernote function so I don't know exactly where you access it from. If I want to save pdfs or powerpoints into EN I simply drag them in. If I drag the file on to the note list it creates a new note with the attachment or if I drag onto an existing note it attaches it to that note. If you want to see the powerpoint inline you could save it as a pdf first. If the pdf is online I always use the Evernote webclipper to capture it

Prefix searching
Mike P replied to Don Dz's topic in Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 10.0 and above)
Completely agree. The search facility does give only relevent tags but not necessarily all of them until you have narrowed down your search sufficiently. -
Interesting. I assume search is done on the server so i'm not sure that a change in version makes much difference. It's possible however they can make changes to search without any changes to the client software. I'm not really seeing much difference. The use of only one quotation mark is interesting. I am finding it quite inconsistent. Sometimes it works quite well and other times it seems to just ignore the quotation marks. Here are some results of a search: evernote search 65 notes found. The words highlighted in the text of the note or if it is in the title in the note list. All notes included both words or in one case the word search and the tag Evernote. "evernote search" 9 notes all containing the phrase "evernote search". The phrase is highlighted. It includes one with the phrase "evernote - search" but it's not highlighted "evernote search Still 9 notes but now all the words are highlighted independently as well as together I've done other searches (for example "of focus") where the results containing the phrase are scattered through the list. That may be because you EN doesn't allow you to search for of by itself. It's disappointing that the basic search trick of enclosing a phrase in quotation marks idoesn't seem to work consistently in an app which prides itself on it's search function.

I don't understand why some items are hidden away in the insert menu and others are easily accessible from the tool bar. As somebody with a PhD in chemistry it hurts me to say this, but do people really need to subscript text more often than add a table or codeblock? I digress. The good news is that the markdown shortcut of three backticks followed by enter inserts a code block. Also, and you couldn't do this in 6.25, surrounding text with a single back tick allows you to have inline code.

[Feature Released in 10.8] Return note links to a single click
Mike P replied to scollins01's question in Desktop Answers/Solutions Archive
ctrl-click may help. For me it opens the website but doesn't normally bring it to foreground. This was raised in the beta but like so many things was never sorted before release. -
To start with bugs and the lack of functionality. They are all fixable but whether the app should ever have been released in this state is another point. The main issue is that it is so slow. Things that are instantaneous in the old version take several seconds in the new. It's bad enough for one note but if you do anything on a list of notes (like merge them or add a tag) it takes for ever. Add to this a delay between making a change and that change being searchable - really important for my tag useage. You can make up your own mind of course!
