  1. Not my experience. Which operating system? On desktop versions you can <shift><tab> if clicking doesn't work.
  2. I have no idea why EN believes I exported this note on 26 August 2022 (current date 26 July 2022). Looking back at other exports it always gets it wrong! Perhaps they are adding one month instead of 1 hour to account for summer time?
  3. I agree that it would be logical to allow changing the date updated in the same way that you can change the date created. The ability to change the date created was not in earlier versions of V10 so I think it is entirely possible that EN might reintroduce the ability to edit date updated sometime in the future. I now pretty much use date created all the time and use tags to identify notes I am currenlty working on (e.g. $current) There is a hack to change the updated date but you may well decide it is too much effort! You need to export the note as an .enex file and then open it with a text editor and manually change the date. Then import. Which gives the update date before the created date which is obviously nonsense! (note that the times have been adjusted from UTC to British Summer Time and are the same as the original note)
  4. The dates are there in the underlying html but not displayed. That's obviously what EN mean when they give you the option to select attributes to export, but not necessarily what a user expects. I agree with you that I would expect the meta data to be displayed. I suppose it does at least give you the option of looking for the information if you need it.
  5. Interesting. I wasn't able to reproduce this. Were you using any special characters etc in the new title that might explain why we are seeing different behaviour?
  6. It's worth noting that the default noebook is indicated in both the sidebar and the notebook view - although you do have to look quite hard at the icons to see it. You can also change the default notebook in the notebook view, as well as in the account settings.
  7. OK you are going to love this! This what I have found: If you double click the enex file on your computer it imports them into the default notebook If on the other hand you do file -> import it goes into an (Imported) notebook_name notebook. If you rename the enex file on your computer it will create a notebook with the new filename So in conclusion - we are both right!
  8. Whoops, sorry, I got that wrong. When you import It seems to add the notes to your default notebook. You would then need to move them en masse to the notebook of choice. In fact if you look at the enex file the notebook is not listed (other than in the title) so it really has no choice but to put it in the default.
  9. Nice workaround. If you haven't deleted the notebook first on import it adds the notes to the original notebook. Depending on exactly what the OP wanted to do I'm sure this can be sorted. e.g create a templates notebook, export it, delete it. Whenever you them import it will recreate a notebook called templates which you can rename.
  10. I don't fully understand what you want. I assume User/Stack_business etc are notebooks or stacks. If you use one of the table views you can get notebook (location) and tags listed I don't really see how the search could point ot the location of the data within the sidebar. Please can you explain in more detail what you mean.
  11. It works for me provided a note is clearly selected (blue box around it) in the note list. I can bring up the dialogue and add a tag without the note itself ever going into edit mode (ie edit toolbar being viisible)
  12. I agree. I have just about trained my brain to move the mouse of a link, so that the box disappears, before I roll over the next link. There is nothing in the box that can't be accessed by clicking or right clicking the link so I don't really see it as an essential feature.
  13. You seem to have left out the step where your fellow users suggest other ways of operating, either as a permanent solution or as a workaround until the suggestion is implemented. Surely it would be easier to put a character (e.g. @) at the beginning of the notebook you are working on so that it appears at the top of your list. Alternatively why not just add that notebook to your shortcuts for the duration of the current project.
  14. Yes it has been - many times even before V10. EN generally works better with relatively short notes which you can then link together using a table of contents of internal links. Alternatively, just a common tag which makes the note list, when you click the tag, a pseudo table of contents. The best hack i know of, to create a simple way of navigating through headers, is to start each header with a specific string of characters you don't use anywhere else. e.g ##. Alternatively you could use an emojii like 🔴. You can then use the find function (ctrl+F) to cycle through the headings. The fact that the new heading feature (Large header, medium header etc) are defined by html tags in the raw html (e.g. h1 for the Large header) makes me think that this might be something that EN could introduce relativley easily in the future. However their philosopy does seem to be "short notes linked together" rather than "long notes with intrnal links".
  15. Which operating ststem? In Windows (and web and probably Mac) you need to go to the notebook screen and either right click the desired notebook or use the three dots menu and choose "set as default notebook"
  16. This is just a further example of the acknowledged bug for websites containing the word "home". See for example
  17. Another thing to remember is that the thumbnail will always be the first image added even if you rearrange your images or delete the first image.
  18. The approach I would take personally is to do the scripting outside of EN. You could quite easily create a text file for each row and then save those to your import folder. Text files appear inline within a note. However they are not editable within EN so you have to either copy and paste the text into the body of the note or edit the file in a text editor. Alternatively enex is just a fancy text file (well XML really) so would not be difficult to create with inputs from the csv file. Sorry, can't think of an off the shelf solution.
  19. There is a long standing bug. Try adding one of EN's defined header styles (e.g. large header etc). You should then be able to save. You can delete the header style if you need to.
  20. It works for me. It sounds as though it is being hijacked by the other program, so you should either change it in the other program or reassign the shortcut to a different key combination in EN. (Help -> keyboard shortcuts). By the way this is not a "global shortcut" so it is only ever intended to work when you are in EN.
  21. Obviously the templates have been around for a long time. What @Stephen LeCompteis complaining about is the inclusion of the template button in the middle of the body of the new note. I really don't remember whether that was in legacy before. The central fact remains though - don't expect any changes to an end of lifetime product.
  22. Interesting that this is appearing in 6.25 - I thought it was only a V10 feature. In V10 you can't get rid of the feature - but dragging an image into the note works as expected. Sadly, I can't see EN making changes to correct any problems with 6.25, even if they have created the problems themselves. No doubt the conspiracy theorists will say it is all part of a strategy to get people off legacy and onto V10 - personally I'm more inclined to believe Hanlon's Razor: "never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
  23. In V10 it is still not easy to bypass the automatic link creation. Unlike 6.25 though, it is possible to use the inline code feature. Paste your link between two back ticks (``) and you get Although I wouldn't be surprised if you thought that was even worse than the link! There is always the option of people "making their own links" by opening the link dialogue box and pasting the link into the url box. Or you can use the markdown style [title](https://www.example.com) So the sequence is [my prefered link title](ctrl+V)
  24. Put them in a bulleted or numbered list to be able to do this using drag and drop.
  25. Because there is a space in the notebook name you will need to enclose it in quotation marks. notebook:"project apple" Your search string will look for notes containing the word apple in a notebook called project.
