  1. Fortunately this is not true but I agree it is not intuitive or very practical to do. If you click the year, you are correct that the range goes back to 2016. However if you click 2016 to accept it and then click the year in the date again, you are able to go back to 2008. You can then continue the process for as long as you need to. There may well be an actual minimum but I lack the patience to discover what it is!.
  2. The point is that if it works on the web version there is probably something wrong with your local instalation. I'm not suggesting you stop using the desktop version just that you use the web as part of problem solving.Rereshing the data base may well be all that is required.
  3. So here are a couple of other methods to try: Double click the note in the note list (rather than right clicking it) Use the three dots menu to the top right of the note pane. Also if you are opening it from a filtered list see if you get the same problem from either a notebook or "notes". This isn't something you can test on the web version. If nothing works then I think it is probably either a local database or instalation problem as this problem isn't being mentioned by anybody else. To refresh the database you can sign out of EN and choose "remove my Evernote data from this device". You can then sign back in. All the data will be downloaded again. This may take some time but EN should be usable in the mean time. It's always good to double check that everything is correct on the server before you do this as anything not synchronised will be lost. You can do this by logging in to the web version. If that doesn't work then I would completely uninstall EN using something like Revo uninstaller and then start again
  4. Lots of ways of doing this, what method are you using? I've just tried 3 or 4 methods and they all worked as expected (10.80.3 but this was not an issue for me on 10.79 either)
  5. @kkarney I've just tried both the things you have mentioned in your last two posts. Deleting a note instantaneously removed it from the list of found notes Merging two notes immediately removed the two original notes but the new merged note did not appear (i'm not sure I would expect it to). Re-running the search resulted in the new merged note appearing as expected. How did you get on with my suggestion?
  6. Just discovered something nice, apologies if it's already been mentioned. A horizontal line "resets" the header, so anything under the line is always visible. Best illustrated with a screen shot.
  7. Interesting idea. I always use F2 to get the focus off the note and into the title field. From there I can tab and shift tab to other places. Definitely worth looking at but as you say it could disappear by tomorrow so I'll stick with what I know for the moment.
  8. Most people just want a stop to the constant reminder not the actual function. I can reluctantly live with the function (although I won't personally uses it) but EN should realise that if I type 14/ I'm probably not going to want to insert an image next. Alternatively have a well thought out shortcut like the markdown type autoformatting options that have never in 10 years got in the way of my workflow.
  9. And a whole host of other shortcuts as well. Chances are if you use keyboard shortcuts at all at least one will be broken. And don't go looking for the list of keyboard shortcuts because the keyboard shortcut for the list of keyboard shortcuts is also broken.
  10. Just a word of warning about merging in V10 compared with legacy. In legacy there was an option for EN to write the note url into the body of each note during the merging process. This means the note url for each individual note is not lost but appears in the relevant section of the merged note. In V10 that option does not exist. The note url of the first note with a url becomes the note url of the merged note. All other note urls are lost so it is up to you to make sure the url is in the body of the note (or in a web clip box) prior to merging. My main problem is pdfs captured using the webclipper, where the only reference to the source is the note url. The good news is that in V10 it is easy to manually copy the note url into the body of the note.
  11. I wish I shared your confidence. I'm still waiting for Tasks to get the enhancements which would convert it from "just about OK" to "a pleasure to use". I'm afraid there is too much "tick the box, move on and never look back". I would obviously be delighted to be proved wrong.
  12. I can't see the stack name in the desktop version or the web version. You've probably go some pre-release version of the UI with no release number or way of knowing. I'm on 10.80.2 but these days that only gives part of the story.
  13. Great news. I would sign out of EN and choose "remove my Evernote data from this device". You can then sign back in. All the data will be downloaded again. This may take some time but EN should be perfectly usable in the mean time provided you are online.
  14. My mistake. You are right. I forgot to actually update the style - I shouldn't post on the forum before coffee in the morning!
  15. Lots of examples of this in the new UI. The one I really struggle with is in tasks. When I filter my entire list of tasks I get this: The important number is the number of tasks in the filtered list (which is barely legible) not the total number of tasks.
  16. Some keyboard shortcuts have never been editable. I'm not sure if these ones were in earlier versions. 10.80.2 has stopped a load of shortcuts working so I suppose it is possible this is related.
  17. Agreed. And maybe while they are it it we could have a way of callapsing the complete tag hierarchy in the sidebar.
  18. Same.Lots and lots of keyboard shortcuts now not working - including th keyboard shortcut to get a list of keyboard shortcuts.
  19. Its AHK v2. I would emphasise that I am not an AHK expert so I might not have written the most elegant code but it works. The lengthy sleeps are becasue the interface is just so slow! It relies on the fact that if you rename a tag from the sidebar you get a text box containing the tag name which is copyable. You need to hover over the tag and then hit the hot key (ctrl+shift+a in my case). If you repeat the process it will add the new tag to the search. I suggest you step through the process manually, so you understand exactly what it is doing, before you start using it with AHK. Hope it works for you ^+a:: { SetKeyDelay 100 Send "{Click Right}" Sleep 200 SendEvent "r{Enter}" sendEvent "^c" Sleep 200 sendEvent "{Tab}{Enter}" Sleep 500 sendEvent "!^f" SendEvent " tag:^v{Enter}" }
  20. Agreed -and it used to work fine. I now have an Autohotkey script that will add any tag to the search when I hover over it in the sidebar and press a certain key combination. For me this solves not only this problem but the inability to add a second tag to the filter from the sidebar (shift+click in legacy)
  21. Very early versions of V10 didn't refresh at all. Now it is often slow and the time taken is extremely variable - from very quick to "have they removed this functionaility again". This is presumably because it is happening on the server so is effected by things out of our control. I've just tried removing a tag from a note where the list was filtered by that tag - the change was almost instantaneous. Sadly I don't know of any workarounds. I might be inclined to try it on the web version and see if that is any quicker. If it is then refreshing your data base (sign out and choose not to retain data locally) may help.
  22. If your tag is called janet and the key word is john then the search is tag:janet john It can be any order and you can edit it as you go along. So for example you could progress as follows tag:janet # notes tagged with janet tag:janet john # notes tagged with janet containing the word john john any: tag:janet tag:edward # notes containing the word john and tagged with either janet or edward. intitle:john any: tag:janet tag:edward # notes containing the word john in the title and tagged with either janet or edward.
  23. F3 takes you straight to the tag list at the bottom of the note so is significantly faster that using the tags section of the note information window. Both these windows search for tags starting with the characters you have typed. I'm surprised you say that you cannot select a tag using the arrow keys. For me I can go through the tags with the arrows and select by pressing enter. If you want a search (when adding tags) that doesn't just search from the beginning of the tag name, you can use the edit tags menu box (alt+ctrl+T) Hope that helps a little bit. All date additions in EN are a pain! You probably already realise this (it was a revelation to me!) but you can click on the year and month to set those individually - you don't need to click back through each month
  24. Always worth looking at the web version to see if that is working correctly. That is the closest you will get a definitive view of what is in the EN database online. You could potentially make it more definitive by deleting everything cached by your browser for the EN website.
  25. Tags definitely can have spaces. If you use advanced search syntax then you need to surround tags containing spaces with quotation marks. The underscore saves me having to do that. Also I can imagine that some apps would not allow spaces in tags so it potentially makes my notes more portable when I finally decide that I've had enough of EN and the pain of leaving is less than the pain of staying.
