  1. THX for pointing me to that feature at all 🙂. My screen is wide and CPU fast enough to always show the note content. Now - after Ctrl-F11 - I've a pretty overview of much more notes...

    But: This makes it more important to get a possibility to change note tite, times, tags and even the notebook of notes from within a note list - without the need to open a note first (something like F2 - which focusses to change the note title in the note editing window in EN-11 but does nothing in Legacy if note window is not present 😞)

  2. Just tested in under Windows: PDFs > 20 MB do not offer the ability to display it "as one page" (inline). They're seen as attachments and have to be opened by double-clicking or RClick->Open. I think this because of performance issues of the inline PDF viewer.

    From my point of view this might be OK (even if not exactly correct and not the same behaviour as in Legacy) because it had been also a performance issue in older versions. If simply click through my notes I want to see them as fast as possible immediately after clicking on the note header in the list.

    But - and this is really bad: If you have PDF displayed inline, Legacy finds embedded strings (Ctrl-F) in note text AND in PDF documents. If you have only attached them, Ctrl-F does not search inside the attachments...

    Global search operations (Ctrl-Q in Legacy or Alt-Ctrl-F in EN-10) do find strings in both cases.

    To check whether the find inside function has changed it associated key, have a look on the key mappings (Ctrl-/ on Windows (Ctrl-# on German keyboards).

  3. To extend/clarify: If you have an EN-10 window open und attach it to all desktops, the new window (after changing the account) will be attached only to the current desktop. This is completely unusable.

    The only way to get this solved (by EN) is to allow having multiple EN main windows (one per account) or switching accounts with an ever-living EN main window (as it was implemented long time ago).

  4. "So far" might be misleading, sorry. Up to now, I failed to find any statement from EN that this will be implemented (even in videos with Ian Small). It's only a feeling amoung many other trivial settings that are lost "so far" 😉
    Up to now they try to avoid a global settings dialog or even to allow tooo much user specific settings to ease support's work.

  5. Oups, completely annoying. Here are results from Legacy and EN-10 (both on Windows).

    • Note titles marked with "******" are not according to ASCII in Legacy (left screenshot)
      • ... it makes some sense: "-" is very important, "~+<=>" might be used to weighten something
         
    • But sort oder on EN-10 is neither ASCII nor Legacy-mode... (on the right)
      • cannot find a reason for moving most characters to other positions
      • only "_" might be by thought: it is the only special character that is NOT ignored while searching - it's a very special character for EN since ever 😉

  6. Strange. There was a already similar discussion around tags (before EN-10 😉)

    Because of this (and the fact that I cannot remember the sort of special characters at all), I decided to not rely on any order based on cryptic signs. I use a combination of a character to mark the type of anything (but not to sort) and a following number to sort within that type. Example (based on tags):

    • ">" generally means "ToDo".  So ">0-actual", ">1-next", ">2-anytime", ">9-wait" are the tags to specify when something is to do.
    • "<" generally means "belongs to year". So "<2018", "<2019", ... are tags to define to which era a note belongs to

    Another possibility to get notes in list sorted by time is to use the creation and the reminder time carefully. Both can be set at any time and will not be changed automatically by EN with any operation. Doing so, the creation time is always the time, an activity has startet whereas reminder time points to either a specific deadline or the date of an event.

  7. Zur Info: Habe eine Liste nicht funktionierender Kürzel und Funktionen zusammengestellt und werde sie weiter pflegen wenn mir etwas auffällt:

    Ich gehe mal davon aus, das EN-Team, das für die Übersetzungen zuständig ist, kann auch damit umgehen 😉

    Keine Angst: Ich habe sie mit Notion erstellt weil auch ich mich umgeschaut hatte - und von allen sich anbiedernden Alternativen lediglich einzelne Features toll fand. Sobald es auch in EN mal Toggled-Lists gibt, werde ich auch Notion wieder "den Hasen geben" 😜

  8. On German keyboards (and maybe some other not-US or not-EN), the Slash character is placed above key "7". You have to press Shift-7 to type a "/". So it is impossible to reach Strg-/. Strg-Shift-7 doesn't help.

    Workaround: You have to click Hilfe -> Tastenkombinationen to display the list of keyboard shortcut list window (which is an important window this time 😉)

    But: this window hides the right side of the Top List View and the Note window - which makes it impossible to use commands just under the window 😞.

    Good practice would be to either place this window floating outside EN's main window or foldable at the right side (like the left Side bar is already).

     

  9. If you configure to use the Top List View, all is OK as long as you click on a notebook or search that finds a list of notes.

    If you click on a specific note in left side bar (either from Favorites or from "Last Notes" (new feature? 🙂), Top List View disappears 😞 - this is annoying because the note header (including editor toolbar) jumps to the top of the window. Legacy does it correct;: DO NOT CLOSE Top List View in any case!

  10. Legacy allows to switch user (accounts). By switching to an other account, a second EN window opens without closing the initial one.

    EN-10 allows to switch user - but closes the initial one before opening the other (and this takes tooo long...)

    Problem: I'm used to have two accounts open (private and business) and move them to different desktops (Win-Tab...). This is not possible so far with EN-10 and is one of my basic needs to move to EN-10.

  11. Seems you already had a look at Notion 😉
    But save your time: After some days of playing around most of the people who are looking for a reliable data management tool came or will come back to here... Stay with Legacy and enjoy every new EN-10x version that comes up in short cycles.
