Ok. Thank you that helped. But what about another weird empty space in UI ? (please see screenshot) I doubt there is any settings to control this strange empty line below the menu... or how such option could be called then?

I noticed big empty fields in notes about a week (or more?) ago. But at that time it was not in every note. It was displayed kind of "randomly" - sometimes I can reopen the same note couple of times and big empty field disappeared. But after today's update there are BIG EMPTY FIELDS IN EVERY NOTE! I already clicked Sign Out on this device with full data removal and logged in again. That did not help. Also I tried to reload UI - nothing changed. What the purpose of such completely unpractical big empty fields in every note? (please see enclosed screenshot with red line)

I'm saving in EverNote my discussion logs - with relatives, with different opponents, with team members and so on. This is very important materials for me! But(!) when I see a lot of text of the same color and format - that is deadly bad to read and recognize something in it! Please note: I do not need to complex formatting! I'm 100% fine with very simple eye-catching techniques - bold + underline + color. So, I need at least one of: support of scripts like VBA in MS Office So, when I can write a simple code to apply formatting to text. Example: foreach (string line in note.Lines) { if (/Polina\s+\w+\[\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\s+\d+\:\d+\.\]/.match(line)) line.applyFormat(stylePerson2Header); } auto-formatting by text-template. Example of such definitions: "Dmitry Bond\s+\[\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\s+\d+\:\d+\.\]" => "line[font-style:bold,underline; font-color:navy]; switch-to[font-color:navy]" "Polina Pashko\s+\[\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\s+\d+\:\d+\.\]" => "line[font-style:bold,underline; font-color:magenta]; switch-to[font-color:magenta]" In this example it means - the line itself formatted by "font-style:bold,underline; font-color:navy" and from this point to next text-pattern it is formatted by "font-color:navy". So, for me it is enough to have formatting on a per-line-basis. Because in current version if I only missed formatting piece of text once then I have to spend about an hour to scroll, scroll and scroll and format the all non-formatted text. Of course - the first option would be more generic, flexible and better.

Hm... Very interesting effect! I did logout and then login... As result - exactly the same binaries displaying completely different UI! Different theme, different UI behavior (see in attach)...

Thanks. I see - I can open Dev Tools. But the question is - how to find image there?! When I export a note - I see 2 huge images in output. But when I copy-paste OuterHTML into a text file I cannot find any <img> HTML elements and even anything which refer to "image.png" or "image(1).png". 😕 So, I'm not sure - how Dev Tools could help here then?

Here is the screenshot. WHY THERE ARE SO MANY EMPTY SPACE in UI?! Columns must be resizable! I'm not using tags at all - they are completely useless for me, so huge amount of empty space in columns - that looks really weird and user-unfriendly! The date values - takes only 45 pixels but the column allocating 160 pixels!!! WHY?! For what do we need all the extra empty space?! Why you are wasting UI space? Also note names starts with the same prefix, so all notes looks the same for me because as such weird UI design. 😕 Another bug - button clicks DO NOT WORK! To make button works I need to click exactly on the button caption text! So, when I click on the button empty space it does not react at all!

Sorry, nothing did help. 😕 Due to lack of time I simply have to ignore this problem. The best solution (as I see it) - we need "The Objects Inspector" for the Note!!! So, where we can enum/browse all such objects in the Note. At least in a read-only mode.

By mistake there appears 2 screenshots in a note. I guess I accidentally clicked [PrintScreen] button and clicked [Paste] in a note. I though I'm pasting a piece of log file but in real it pasted an image and that happened twice during last month. When I export it to *.HTML (or to *.ENEX) I see these 2 images - image.png and image(1).png - 1Mb and 0.5Mb. But I cannot find them in a note! When I scrolling a note - I cannot find these images at all. So, I cannot locate/focus it and delete. The question is - how to find and remove these unwanted images from note in case when EverNote does not display them at all?! Is there someking of "Note Objects Inspector", so if I can browse all objects in a note and deleted unwanted?

I found that in such case it is easier to replace all files in "c:\Program Files (x86)\Evernote\" with all files from "C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Local\Programs\Evernote". So, like this pskill EverNote.exe robocopy "C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Local\Programs\Evernote" "c:\Program Files (x86)\Evernote" /MIR I really do not like idea of uninstalling/installing/reloading full EverNote db.

Week ago or such I seen a notification "EverNote updated to 10.62.5". Clicked [Ok] and continue. After OS restarted I seen a new notification "EverNote updated to 10.62.2". That was confusing, however I was busy and continue as usual. During last 4-5 days I seen such "switch updates" about 7 times. Almost on each OS restart. Small investigation discovered that when it shows "EverNote updated to 10.62.5" then it start EverNote from "C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Local\Programs\Evernote". And when it shows a "EverNote updated to 10.62.2" message it started from its normal location - "c:\Program Files (x86)\Evernote\". After a "EverNote updated to 10.62.5" message I tried to explicitly start it from "c:\Program Files (x86)\Evernote\" - but it redirected to version in "C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Local\Programs\Evernote". However, after yet another Windows 11 restart I see a yet another "EverNote updated to 10.62.2" message and then it running all from "c:\Program Files (x86)\Evernote\". So, it is entered endless loop of "updating" between: 10.62.5-win-ddl-public (20230928204806) Editor: V176.13.0 Service: v1.74.5 And "10.62.2-win-ddl-public (*)" Is it possible to leave this endless loop of "switched updates" ? Should it be safe if I would simply kill all EverNote processes and override "c:\Program Files (x86)\Evernote\" with content from "C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Local\Programs\Evernote" ?

Ok. Thank you for answers. I exported all notebooks to *.enex (just to make a full backup of current state). Then uninstalled winstore version and installed latest one from specified url. Will see if that will change something...

10.61.10-winstore-public. On "Check Updates" it shows nothing. So, seems 10.61.* is latest.

Thank you for answers. Seems I finally discovered a method how I can handle it. I found workarounds for minors bugs in EverNote editor.

It is not a first time I noticed - DATA DISAPPEARED from EverNote! On my disk I have an exported notes for some of synopsizes I wrote for IT courses I completed. Now I tried to find it in EverNote BUT IT IS NOT THERE! So, after course completion I exported a synopsis to disk but now I discovered - there is no such note in EverNote! And I know for 100%-sure I never deleted that! How is that possible?! How can I trust EverNote if some very important notes silently disappeared from it?! And perhaps I could think - there might be "auto-archiving of old notes" BUT(!) some recent notes also disappeared! So, I can guess "auto-archiving" for notes older than year or more but when a new notes (a month ago) silently disappeared - that is critical bug in EverNote! Also I found - a bunch of very important notes suddenly appears in Trash! HOW?! I never deleted it! And I even could not think to delete that! So, for sure this is another critical bug in EverNote - it may randomly send notes to trash! Taking into account huge lags in UI I can guess - it may do that. Also please note - this is on Core i5-13500/32Gb RAM PC, so you can compare - how big UI lags would be on older computers!!! Performance of EverNote UI processing is deadly bad. 😞 So, idea is: need a journal of "notes operations" - what notes created, what deleted, exported, etc - anything related to note life cycle. need an option to search also in trash (for cases when note appears in trash due to lag in UI) So, for example - 2 new checkboxes: "Search in trash" and "Search in lifecycle journal" - to see if any of notes were deleted or moved or whatever In this case should be enough to search in note captions only, do not need to search in note's content (ex: for "lifecycle journal" - only note caption is actual) also - please return back "Note size" column to the view! How can I see the difference between notes without seeing its size?! Update: I check all things once again. Seems the main problem - lot of notes appears in Trash without my actions! How is that possible at all?!... I remember I created a new notebook and all notes related to certain education-provider moved to it, but some of notes instead appears in Trash. Why?! Lag in UI? What other reasons could be?...

If I cannot highlight a piece of code (with bold or color or highlighter) - that useless for me! (and for team also) That is why I'm always using own formatting for code pieces. As I already mentioned - Monospace + font size + fore color + indent = 4 additional manual formatting operations on each piece of code. So, it is not about code itself. It is exactly about styles! It can be code, it can be quotes from literature or whatever. I need a tool to format all such pieces in similar way with minimal efforts.

Hi. Sometimes I'm writing synopsis on lectures (or during code investigations, or when writing ideas, whatever). And here is the problem - for each piece of code I have to do 3-4 operations manually: press Ctrl+M (which means - indent forward selected text) select blue color (I'm using blue for code samples and magenta for shell commands/output) select Monospace font change font size from 16 to 14 So, if I need to add 10 code samples that 40 clicks! Typical synopsis for 1 lecture contains 20-50 code or output samples, so 80-200 similar monotonous clicks. Is it possible to optimize this somehow?! For example: click "Styles list" dropdown and click "Code Sample" style there. Or something like that. Or at least - could you please fix the bug in node editor instead? For example: I copied 3 lines from previous code sample and clicked "Paster and match style" (Ctrl+Shift+V) for new piece of code - THAT NEVER WORKED IN 10.x VERSION of EverNote!!! It is always reset all formatting to default!!! So, could please you one of these - or introduce styles or fix that stupid bug which lives in all releases of version 10.x? Thanks.

Edit or read-only - that is how I adjusted my usage of EverNote. If it is deadly slow on smartphones (and if EverNote ignores that), ok, then I will be happy with read-only mode - should be enough for most of my needs. For sure this is not about downloading speed. Because I clearly see that synchronization was completed fast (also all these notebooks I keep in offline-mode, so data is pre-loaded). A simple example when it has no sense to split to "smaller notes" - a diary. Writing a diary is much convenient on per-month basis, so one month = one note. I'm writing it since 2011. As I can see during all the time max note size is 420kb (that was April 2019).

It is not about creating notes on mobile. It is about accessing existing notes created on other EverNote devices! For example: I have notes with some investigation materials (synopsizes, discussion logs, though recordings, etc) and quite often I need to quickly look something at the end of it. For such purpose - jump-to-end is super useful feature! Even in normal every-day mental work I'm generating about 0.7-1 Mb of text every month (in reality more but I count here only the texts which are really valuable for me) spread over 3-4 different notes - jumping to the end is wanted feature in such situation. I do not need to edit it on mobile. Only view. Btw, one more super annoying thing on mobile devices - every "wrong click" try to put a node into editor! While in real I only need to view, scroll and find something there. So, one more super-wanted feature - "force read-only mode" and make it always on! Because wrong behavior of EverNote on mobile devices - is a 99% typical problem.

And that is the interesting difference! Because in version 6.x I can copy-paste code directly from VisualStudio (or from VsCode) and it will looks fine - correctly formatted and syntax-colorized with a monowidth font. But version 10.x simply ignoring my attempts to copy-paste something from VS - it put plain-text instead. For example here is my old synopsis for some python tools - https://www.evernote.com/l/AKXzYXu7B8ZDfrRvIbUh7KBA-QxgOu4bP3c/ - you can see nicely colorized code samples in a text of synopsis. The huge problem - it is no longer possible in version 10.x! 😞 PS. Thank you for ref to Zapier and/ or other external automation integrations like Power Automate, I will check.

Waw! Thank you. That could change things... I have 30 notebooks in my EverNote. So, 30 times click "Export" - that is better than nothing. I think I can live with it. So, now only the open critical issue left - missing copy-paste for source code pieces from VisualStudio...

I just made a simple comparison test with my version 6.25.x and latest 10.53.x. Scenario was typical for my needs: 1) open a note 2) locate end-of-discission 3) add text, put some primitive formatting (underscore+bold for username) With 6.x - 5 + 3 + 2 sec = 10 sec With 10.x - 15 + 5 + 1 sec = 21 sec Also a critical thing - I tried to copy-paste a piece of code from VisualStudio into a note - version 6.x supporting it correctly (keep syntax highlighting), version 10.x paste it as ugly plain-text! So, not in all scenarios version 10 is better. Also - some critical new limitations introduced in 10.x, ex: cannot select more than 100 notes in list. So, "export all notes to file" is no longer possible in 10.x! But that is super-critical functionality for me. Thus, even if I want I cannot move forward to 10.x 😞

You sample case "3 hours typing + DEL" is not match this situation. Because simple DEL is not deleting all, you need to do "Select All" first and only then DEL. But as example of correct match - youtube implemented wrong handling of [BackSpace] key in their comment editor - by [BackSpace] they delete all text! So, user expects to cancel only 1 last char but instead they delete just all. Also - in both cases (on "3 hours typing + DEL" and for youtube comments) - there is always working Ctrl+Z(Undo) - it simply restore all back. So, your example is wrong in this case. In relation to "keyboard shortcuts need 2 or 3 keys pressed in a coordinated action" - this is not related to closely located keys! So, it must not be possible to press it accidentally. For example: that is essentially more quite difficult to erase all formatting by pressing Ctrl+Alt+[-] then Ctrl+Alt+Space - because [space] key is very close to Ctrl+Alt. Also all such Ctrl+Space and Ctrl+Alt+Space - often used for hotkeys for other apps (also as global shortcuts), for example: Ctrl+Alt+[Home] is global shortcut for video player play/pause action. And that is very easy to press also [Space] accidentally in such case. In relation to "you should train your muscle" - this is not about one-way operations! Especially - about rarely used one-way operation. User may need "Simplify Formatting" maybe once or twice during all work cycle for a note, also because there is existing "Paste and Match Style" action which makes "Simplify Formatting" even more rarely used operation. So, you thinking about it in a bit wrong way.

Yes, I know about version 10. I have version 10 installed on my backup device and from time to time I'm updating it and validating - if it works at all? Unfortunately, version 10 has terribly low quality! It is deadly slow and it has terrible unresponsive interface. On 99% it is not able to open my notes at all! 😞 So, if EverNote will not resolve these problems I might need to search for alternative tools... Or maybe even try develop something by myself. Because for sure - "version 10" is a dead branch of EverNote, it is completely non-usable. 😕

Hi. There MUST BE possibility TO DISABLE "Simplify Formatting" and "Remove Formatting"!!! Because by 1 accidental keyboard click I can destroy results of 2-3 hours of work! (because Undo in such case is too long and complex!) So, instead of working I have to spend lot of efforts on importing old note from history AND THE RE-DO ALL OPERATIONS AGAIN! Which means - EveryNote UI is designed in a wrong way! Such dangerous operations MUST NOT HAVE keyboard shortcuts!!! Thanks.

To compare: * when I select all notes and export to *.enex file in v6.x the file size = 270Mb. * notes db size in version 6.x took maximum 2.5Gb, after db optimized db size is ~0.9 Gb. So, it is too big difference comparing to the data of all notes. Especially taking into account that 99% of my notes is only a text, in some exceptional cases with small pictures (like 300x200px). So, 13Gb in my case - that is really too much.
