Pin notes to the top of notebook
DMiddleton replied to sjgmail's question in General Feature Requests
It would be a good addition to be able to pin a specific note to the top of a notebook, that would stay there regardless of the sorting options in the note panel, this would be really helpful for table of content notes or dashboard notes. -
Screen real-estate
DMiddleton replied to Mark.'s question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 10.0 and above)
I am glad you have not noticed much difference which is why it may not seem as important to you personally, but it looks like you are an Apple user from your device list and the previous version was different to the windows version in many ways. I am primarily a windows user (I also have a Mac for development purposes so did have the previous EN on that too) and the differences in design and waste of space are huge, as an example the note list in Snippet view on the legacy version shows 11 notes on my screen, v10 in default view only fits 6 on screen! Responsive design does not account for large amounts of padding and oversized fonts, they can all be accounted for with decent design that actually adapts to screen size and display density. Also in Windows, I have yet to find another app running the default font at 16, as an example of the size difference on my screen, on legacy 2 notes almost fit into the space of one on the new version. Both screenshots take with the apps running in default view. I appreciate there are other things that need addressing as well but for some users this is a big deal. -
Screen real-estate
DMiddleton replied to Mark.'s question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 10.0 and above)
I have ben banging this drum since the preview version took part in, the entire UI is shockingly oversized and there is lots of wasted space and padding added to everything, on top of the ridiculous default 16 font size. There has been no feedback from staff on this whenever raised before. Even the top of the app: Granted some notebook names could be a bit longer but still! I personally use the interface zoomed out two places just to account for the oversized text everywhere. -
I would like to see some improvements to the editor and insert items that Nimbus has, just little things to improve note formatting that I wish I could use in EN: Divider - Select colour Text border and colouring, like: Code blocks - add colours, and the language selection would be nice too, below is the Nimbus version Vs EN:

Devs: Post a full roadmap for users
DMiddleton replied to DMiddleton's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 10.0 and above)
Just wanted to share this as an example of how simple this could be, Nimbus Note have a public roadmap: Nimbus Roadmap - Nimbus Note (nimbusweb.me) It doesn't have any dates or expected ship times but at least it gives users a sense of what they are working on and what is to come. This was my initial wish in this post that EN did something similar just to give the users some general idea of what is happening as the lack of communication is what is causing a lot of unrest in the community I feel. -

Updated to reflect changes in v10.4 -
Have you tried the work around suggested here?

Issue/Feature Tracker
DMiddleton replied to DMiddleton's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 10.0 and above)
As I mentioned previously that was never the intention, I was actually annoyed with the lack of communication from EN on features etc so this was more of a reference for forum users, especially where work arounds or answers were found by other users. Like you I have no idea how they determine anything, and to be completely honest following an interview Ian Small did where he pretty much said the forum users were such a small part of the user base (which came across as 'are not important') and the beta forums I have taken part in, I don't think they are interested in what we have to say on here anyway. They clearly have their own strategy and are pressing ahead with it regardless of what we say! -
Issue/Feature Tracker
DMiddleton replied to DMiddleton's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 10.0 and above)
I have added it on to the list. I am not sure the EN staff will be paying much attention to it to be honest, I just put this together to keep track of things as they were introduced/restored or confirmed as never coming back as EN don't seem to be very forthcoming on details. -
Issue/Feature Tracker
DMiddleton replied to DMiddleton's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 10.0 and above)
Is it opening in a browser when you click the link or trying to open in the Evernote app? It is a public shared note and I have just opened it in a private window so even not logged in it did load. -
Issue/Feature Tracker
DMiddleton replied to DMiddleton's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 10.0 and above)
Yes I only put the Ctrl + Alt + S as this is the direct way, it is really a shortcut to that same icon you have pointed out, using it avoids the need to have to open the helper and then click an icon which are just additional steps really. This would however be super helpful if you could open the helper, enter some text into the scratchpad then perform the screen clip and it combined both into a note! -

DMiddleton replied to DMiddleton's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 10.0 and above)
Not that I am aware of, personally I am an Android user and the update hasn't been released yet for that. -
It is strange how it is affecting so many users in so many ways, I honestly cant answer that but I hope the EN devs are looking at it. It has to be more than PC hardware as one person posted about bad delays and they were using a pretty well spec'd machine. Maybe there is a link between content size and performance, I don't keep a large number of notes in it anymore after moving mainly to OneNote so that may be why my experience is not as bad as yours. I have seen users mention they have 50k notes etc so it would be good to get some performance comparisons from those. And maybe the size of the note content itself also plays into it. How much RAM and CPU is being used on your machines with EN running, and have you tried monitoring it as you navigate through different notes/notebooks?

Generally yes they are slower than native, some are really good such as Microsoft's VS Code, in general they respond slower and take up more RAM on the machine. It is still a web interface and the display rendering is slower that a native app dealing with the graphics, which is why you may notice changing from note to note is not as snappy as the legacy version etc. They can still access most things on the system with a bit of work and integrate with it pretty well but as a developer myself I much prefer native apps. The advantage for EN is to have a shared code base so they don't have to maintain multiple platform specific versions, and apparently that will allow them to deploy new features quicker in the future. Reading some of the feedback on the forums the performance varies widely between users with some having very poor performance and lags, while my own experience is not as bad as that it is noticeably slower that the legacy version.

vous pouvez utiliser Ctrl et + mais cela augmente le zoom de toute l'application -
Issue/Feature Tracker
DMiddleton replied to DMiddleton's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 10.0 and above)
I have amended some bits, I had 'Local Notebooks' so have now included import folders, save view is there and I have added the slow performance issues too. -
I posted this in another thread but it just gets lost in the replies so posting this on its own so the link stays at the top. I created a tracker for missing features and functionality as well as ideas and requests which may help as sometimes the same questions seem to get asked in multiple posts in the forum. https://www.evernote.com/shard/s249/sh/3fabdc13-3d55-9e1f-981b-9d4b43d74975/739ec1c7ac579089ac6d0ecdf2a8ddd1 Feel free to comment below on things that should be added to the list or if you know the answers/work arounds to any of them. I will be updating it as solutions are found or announcements are made.

questions to EN designers
DMiddleton replied to Vitaliy Grinchuk's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 10.0 and above)
I have been banging on about the new design, wasted space, UI and font sizes since the initial preview version and never had a response yet. I am having to zoom out in the view options as it is so bad, and that creates other issues.
