  1. Mike P's post in Links inside notes don't work was marked as the answer   
    I feel your pain. This is so annoying. Make sure you feed this back directly to EN as it is mainly fellow users on the forum.
    I do find though that if you open the link in a new window it normally works. This can be done by ctrl clicking the link in Windows - you don't say what system you are using.
    Also sometimes, but definitely not always, if I hit the back button from whatever random note EN takes me to, it will then go the correct note.
  2. Mike P's post in "Find in note" (search) tool seeks from top of note, not cursor, and also seeks too soon was marked as the answer   
    Valid point. It was actually a short note. I repeated the process on a long note (5873 words). I searched for the word data of which there were 84 occurrences, well scattered through the note. The note did jump back to the top which is obviously your concern. However the numbering was correct for the next occurrence of the word after the cursor (38 of 84). If you scroll down that is also the highlighted one. Hitting enter (or the right arrow in the dialogue box) will jump to the next occurrence (39 of 84). You would then need to use the back arrow to go back to 38. I can't think of a way of going directly to the next occurrence. 
    I agree with you that the jumping back to the top of the note is unhelpful. I do think though that using the arrows in the Find window to progress through the results, starting from the second(!!) result after the cursor, significantly reduces the pain. I do wish there was a way of jumping directly to the first result after the cursor.

  5. Mike P's post in Notebooks alignment was marked as the answer   
    It appears that the latest update reset the view from Fit to Window to Optimise readability. Just change it back again fro the three dots menu at the top right of the note

  6. Mike P's post in Unable to find export option for notes or notebooks anymore. was marked as the answer   
    You cannot export from the web version of EN. You will need to use the desktop version.
  7. Mike P's post in size of notes in bytes was marked as the answer   
  8. Mike P's post in EN for Mac v10.71.2: "filter by tag" not working was marked as the answer   
    I don't think so. Fortunately it still seems to be working for me. A few questions:
    What happens if you try any of the other ways of filtering by the mailer tag? Tags filter Side bar Main tags window What happens on the web version? I saw a report earlier today of incomplete listings of notebooks - this may or may not be related.
    If the web version is ok then I suggest a database refresh. Sign out, choose not to retain data and then sign back in again,
  9. Mike P's post in Issues with search suggestions anyone? was marked as the answer   
    I agree that the main search does seem to give you fairly random results. I don't normally search for notebooks (I don't have many) but I just tried and it was very unhelpful. Have you tried using "Switch to" (Ctrl+Q on Windows but from memory something completely different on Mac). To illustrate the difference if I want to find one of my tags starting VO2. Using search:

    A reasonable selection of notes but only one tag. Using switch to and again typing in vo2

    That give me all of the tags starting vo2 but doesn't give me the one which doesn't begin with vo2.
    Why EN have decided to implement two completely different algorithms to produce suggestions is a mystery to me.
    Conclusion:
    ctrl+Q generally gives better suggestions than search If you are looking for a notebook or tag then a general search is unlikely to be as good as the dedicated searches.  
  10. Mike P's post in Google sheets cell edit creates EN note -- undesired behavior was marked as the answer   
    Are you using alt+ctrl+V at all? That is (also) the global (works everywhere) keyboard shortcut for "paste into Evernote". It can be changed or disabled in the EN keyboard shortcut list. And if you need further proof, I selected some of the text above, copied it with ctrl+C and pressed alt+ctrl+V. Looks the same as your screen shot.

  11. Mike P's post in How to export from Mac OS Evernote to Enex; export button isn't working was marked as the answer   
    There is often a disconcerting pause after you press the green export button. If you leave it, it will then kick into action after a few seconds. Hopefully it is just that.
  12. Mike P's post in Use check box without a strikethrough text was marked as the answer   
    The text is only crossed out for checklists. These are different from checkboxes.
    There is an option in settings (tools 🢂 settings on the desktop versions) which defines whether you get strikethrough or not for completed checklists. 
  13. Mike P's post in How to import text file as a new note was marked as the answer   
    That's brilliant and made me look at Windows again.
    If you right click on a  txt file in file explorer, choose "more options" and then send to Evernote you get exactly the same behaviour as sharing on Mac. Multiple files can be converted to multiple notes all at once, with the text of the files in the body of the notes - no attachments. I learned something new today!
     
  14. Mike P's post in Animation of the dropdown takes 15 seconds to fully show. was marked as the answer   
    i'm on windows but this issue was solved for me by turning back on Hardware acceleration. I don't know whether that translates to Mac. See
     
  15. Mike P's post in Filters and Shortcuts No Longer Working was marked as the answer   
    It sounds like a local data base issue. 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
  16. Mike P's post in Is it possible to archive a notebook? was marked as the answer   
    You can export an entire notebook as an enex file and then import it again if needed in the future. You don't say what versio nof EN you are using but in the desktop versions yo can either right click the notebook in the sidebar or use the three dots menu in the main notebook screen.
  17. Mike P's post in Images are not loaded/saved no matter which option I select from the Web Clipperr was marked as the answer   
    Thanks for posting the actual website you were trying to clip. Seems to be a Safari thing. It worked fine using Chrome on windows. There is an option on Chrome to rightclick an image and clip it directly to EN. If that option exists in Safari it might be worth a try.

    I seem to remember other discussions about Safari and the webclipper in the forums so they might be worth having a look at.
  18. Mike P's post in How do I change the default notebook used for search, or have it so that search doesn't filter by any notebooks at all? was marked as the answer   
    EN will search in the notebook you are in unless you overide that decision by choosing everywhere.

    The easiest way of searching all notes is to start in all notes! I use the keyboard shortcut for all notes (alt+ctrl+2 in windows) a lot.
  19. Mike P's post in Typing into the search box in tasks was marked as the answer   
    Solved in 10.65.2

  20. Mike P's post in Anyone else having Tasks issues? was marked as the answer   
    I've certainly had instances where it doesn't seem to complete the task. I too can't really find a pattern. I do know that I have most problems with overdue recurring weekly tasks. I had a week away, so didn't do any of my routine tasks, and sorting it all out when I came back was a nightmare. Since then I've not had problems so I haven't raised it with support, but I am monitoring carefully.
    One thing that initially confused me was the way it deals with overdue daily tasks compared to Todoist. If you complete a daily task that you didn't do yeterday in Todoist it completes it and the next instance is tomorrow. In contrast, EN completes it and then it immediately appears again for you to do it today as well. I actually prefer the EN behaviour as I frequently want to do more today to catchup and this reminds me to do that.
  21. Mike P's post in How to access this format of text? was marked as the answer   
    I think you are refering to the "inline code" feature. Simply enclose the text in backticks -  `inline code`.
    For a full list of features use ctrl+/
     
     
  22. Mike P's post in Evernote doesn't update the note image in the notes list. was marked as the answer   
    My experience is that it will eventually update although it is definitely not instantaneous. Sometimes closing the app fully (file 🢂 Quit Evernote) and opening it again does the trick. If you find a note never updates, you can duplicate or copy the note and that should force the thumbnail to update.
  23. Mike P's post in Change criteria for a saved search was marked as the answer   
    Make sure you have deleted the saved search not just the shortcut to it.
  24. Mike P's post in The New Web Client has autoformating :-( was marked as the answer   
    There is no way of stopping the markdown conversion, but backspace will remove it each time
    I suppose you could use a code box as this only has plain text.
  25. Mike P's post in Rules you can use to create effective tags and find what you need was marked as the answer   
    Some special tags. I have some tags that describe the type of note (paper, my notes, reading list, blog article etc)  . Each of them begins with a +. I can then quickly check whether I have filed something (with the tag "R") but forgotten to add a "type of note" tag.
    tag:R -tag:+*
