  1. The advanced syntax are all those wonderful tricks for searching for exactly what you want. See https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/208313828-How-to-use-Evernote-s-advanced-search-syntax The new search/filter process makes some of these less needed because of the built in ability to search/filter for things like notes containing pdfs. This is provided you have remembered to build up your search in the notebook -> filter -> text order I described.
  2. Well hopefully they won't be needed but I do like the irony of using EN to help dig my escape tunnel!
  3. I'm in Windows 10 using Evernote 10.0.10. Selecting notes by ctrl clicking notes in the note list gives me the following. Exactly as described by @Jon/t
  4. I've not looked at images within webclips at all. All my comments above are for images added to a normal note. Looking now at images in webclips I can drag and drop them onto my desktop from either the Windows or web version. Copy and pasting doesn't work from either. So not really any different from images simply added to a note.
  5. Interesting. I'm not seeing any difference between the behaviour of the Windows and web versions. In both I can drag and drop an image to the desktop or download the image using the context menu. In neither of them can I copy and paste an image into another app (despite it appearing as an option in the web version) or drag and drop the image directly into another app (Word). The drag and drop to the desktop is an OK short term workaround but I still think that copy and paste should just work (like it does in the legacy version).
  6. Using search to select notes in a specific notebook and containing lists returns a note which is in the trash and not in the chosen notebook Seems to be this particular note that doesn't want to die because it come up in an images filter as well. Creating the same search using filter works correctly.
  7. I can do that too. The issue is whether you can copy and paste an image without having to save it first. Dragging it to the desktop and then dragging it somewhere else is a good work around and actually works for the Windows version too. Unfortunately I can't drag the image directly into Word.
  8. While not documented in the link above alt - ctrl - T does work provided the focus is on a note in the note list. They made a big thing about it when it came out in the beta so I'm surprised EN have forgotten all about it now!
  9. Nice info, thanks. The issue of shorcut keys only working in some situations has been a recurring theme throughout the preview, beta and now release stages. Some are clearly bugs (alt-ctrl-F doesn't work if the sidebar is collapsed - well it does it just doesn't pop the side bar out so you can actually see it). Some are definitely context specific. If you are editing a note, none of the shortcuts you might expect to work do so - only the note editing shortcuts (such as they are). Your ctrl-alt-number shorcuts seem to work reliably for me if and only if the focus is on a note in the notelist.
  10. Well spotted. It seems to be a general theme. You can't add notebooks either after adding a tag. So you have to add your search terms in the order: notebook, filters - tags and any of the other things that EN calls filters like pdf files, telephone numbers etc text. Or you can always use the search syntax in any order.
  11. Are you sure? Yes the option is there but if I use it and then paste into a Word document I get an empty box. I'm using Chrome.
  12. There is an (in my opinion better) alternative to the TOC but I don't think it is obvious. Once you have selected the notes you need to select "copy internal links" either by right clicking a selected note or from the three dots in the blue multi-select menu. You can then paste those links into a new note. If you hit the numbered list icon first and then paste them in you will get a numbered list. The reasons I like it more than the existing system is: You can reorder the numbered list by dragging and dropping You can add the list to an existing note - I have alot of dashboard notes which are my constantly evolving gateway into a particular topic
  13. The new search and filter takes some getting used to. The key is to select the notebook before you start doing anything. If you then search you will have an option (it's very faint) below the search bar to filter in the notebook you have slected so need to click add filter there For filtering, again if you start in a notebook it will filter the notes in that notebook. There are all sorts of things you simply cannot do easily - the main ones that annoy me being: Can't save a filter only a search even if the net results are identical. Can't select "any" like you can in the legacy version. The advanced search syntax does work which is something
  14. On Windows there is a menu item: tools -> preferences -> save data at logout. It is the only item within preferences, but with the promise of more to come I assume that is where they will all live.
  15. Reember that the bit @gazumped quoted from my post was @gbarry back in July. As far as I know that has now been implemented. You do need to ensure that tools -> preferences -> save data at logout is ticked because I assume the files are wiped at logout otherwise.
  16. You could just do it yourself: Autostart a program in Windows 10 Press windows key + r. Copy the run command Shell:common startup. It will reach C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup. Creat the shortcut of the program you want to run in startup. Drag and drop. Restart the computer.
  17. And I suspect that this mass aren't premium users so don't pay EN staff's salaries!
  18. In my experience all Segoe UI Symbol characters are correctly rendered. This includes greek letters. You would need to use good old Windows character map or an online resource like http://www.kreativekorp.com/charset/font/SegoeUISymbol/ to find the correct charaters but that is the case in the legacy version too.
  19. I've tried various titles in the past including something akin to what you suggest. I'm disappointed that very few people have grasped the magnitude of this change. Perhaps most people don't copy and paste images from websites. However I'll change the title as you suggest.
  20. My best bet so far is a folder: C:\Users\{user name}\AppData\Roaming\Evernote\resource-cache This contains thousands of folders and files dating from when I upgraded from beta to v10 to today.. I'm way out of my competence zone here so I could be completely wrong!
  21. Personally I have no desire to share a contact's email address with Evernote with or without their permission. However there should be the ability to send a note from your own email system. Currently you cannot even reliably copy and paste a note into an email because images aren't copied.
  22. Just to note that you cannot copy and paste an image whether it is a link or an actual image embedded into the note.
  23. This is the key point. I deliberately didn't use the word security but used safety instead. The raison d'etre of a note taking app is to keep your notes safe (in the sense of unchangeable) and accessible and I think that in this case EN has failed to do this. In most cases though it is storing the actual image. I would imagine that images copy and pasted in from a website are a smallish proportion of the total images on their servers. Webclipped and images added as files are still added to the note correctly. And where do they stop? Online pdf's replaced by a link when you clip them?
  24. I raised this at the beta stage but it is still an issue and I think it is important that everybody understands it. If you copy and paste an image from a website into a note you would expect that image to be in your note wouldn't you. Wrong. All EN does is copy and paste a link to the image. This means: If the image is removed or changed on the website it will be removed from or changed in your note You cannot annotate the image - the option is simply not there The image does not show up as a thumbnail in the snippet or card view You can't download the image (because it's not there) To me this is a serious breach of the trust we have put in EN to safely store our data. If we knowingly add a link we know the webpage it links to can be changed. If we copy and paste content into our notes we expect it to be safe. As far as I can see webclipped images and images added as files are OK so it is just copying and pasting images from the web.
  25. There is no ability to select an image in a note and then copy it into another application. It needs to be downloaded first. This is also true if you try to copy and paste an entire note containing images (for example to email it). Only the text is copied. Copy and paste is basic windows functionaility which should just work.
