  1. ... which now has an successor in 035 - Import Notes from Competing systems๐Ÿ˜‰
  2. Yeah - but the solution seems like a shot without thinking about enough ๐Ÿ˜ž See 044 - Invalid functionality of note title fields for a user story to make it better... ๐Ÿ˜‰ ... and to re-change it quite fast ๐Ÿ‘ So either they should use the (boldfaced) title as described in 044 or fix the title above the editing area. ๐Ÿ™
  3. Problem Description Around the very first line in a note window there is a design fail: If you click on the note title, you will get a dialog to move the note to an other notebook. But: If I click on anything, I want to change this - and not anything else. If I click on the notebook name, I would expect to change the notebook assignment and not to navigate to a notebook... Expected behaviour If you click on the note title an input field (placed exactly over this text) should allow to change the note title Suggestion: Note title might be displayed in bold ("044 - Invalid functionality of note title fields" in example above) and in true black color (in light mode) or plain white (in dark mode) If you click on notebook name either a dialog appear to move the note to an other notebook or (more simple) an input field (placed exactly over current notebook name) appears to define the notebook to move the note to Background information (See also...)

  4. OK - but why? Occupies too much space ๐Ÿ˜‰ OK, THX. But... ??? It takes me to the title - and that's the problem whilst simple editing anywhere in the upper part of a note. If I'm (i.e.) in the 3rd line and type Up Arrow 4 times - I'm in the title by accident ๐Ÿ˜ž Every UI Style Guide tells you to separate things that do not belong together. Note text ist core note content information whereas the title belongs to note's metadata. If you edit a Word file, you do not want to change its file name accidently by scrolling above the text. You never will go out of the text editing area with Arrow keys. Have a look into the text composing window of your eMail app To change the Subject, you have to use either special keys to enter the Subject field or use the mouse. You never will go out of the text editing area with Arrow keys. Have a look to our forum here: Even if you as a thread owner start to edit the first post, you have to go explicitely to a special field to change the title. You never will go out of the text editing area with Arrow keys. BTW: around the very first line in a note window there is another design fail: If you click on the note title here, you will get a dialog to move the note to an other notebook. Haeh? If I click on anything, I want to change this - and not anything else. If I click on the notebook name, I would expect to change the notebook assignment - and not to navigate to a notebook... But that's all an other story for that I'll open an new thread.
  5. title seems to be part of note on top of all whilst editing a note: when scrolling down, the note title scrolls out of editor's view: OK, you might see the title in window's title bar. But too small to be recognized Moreover: If you walk with cursor keys up withing the note text, the cursor enters the title field. This is annoying and causes mistakes because you do not want to change the title in 99% of all cases... Expected behaviour Note title should be fixed on top of a note editing window Clicking on note title string should enable editing of the title Cursor should not leave or enter title area with normal cursor keys or scroll up/down keys. To leave the title field, you should have to enter TAB or Mouse Workaround Be on alert every time ๐Ÿ˜ค Background information (See also...) Discussions: New UI - Experiences Bad and Good (start here) This note: 036 - Fix Note title on screen
  6. Problem/Feature Description Currently Favorites (including Saved Searches) are accessable only from left pane You can't reach these shortcuts with a single click when it's buried in the tree of notebooks... Expected behaviour There should be an option to place Favorites horitonally above all subwindows (like bookmarks in Chrome or many other applications) Workaround None so far (except scrolling, searching, clicking, scrolling, ...) ๐Ÿ˜ค Background information (See also...) Discussions: Evernote missing features, bugs and wishlist topic C.07 This note: 021 - Display Favorites below main menu bar
  7. Bug Description Changes (tags and content) are not reflected on the next search: If I change anything, I require "updated:day-1" to find the changed note - but have to wait some seconds..minutes. If I tag anything and search for that tag, delay to proper search results is even longer Expected behaviour Executing a search (i.e. triggered by a Favorite) should cover any note change immediately Workaround wait... ๐Ÿ˜ด Background information (See also...) Discussions Some operations too slow in v10 (start here) This note: 026 - Filtering speed is too slow (research after changes)
  8. Yeah - but it's not only a display thing. Changes (tags and content) are not reflected on the next search very often: If I change anything, I require "updated:day-1" to find the changed note - but have to wait some seconds-minutes. If I tag anything and search for that tag, delay to propper search results is even longer ๐Ÿ˜ž
  9. OK, but it's your use. It will not go better for us if you're OK. A professor of mine told us that a developer has to stop optimizing at the point users gets OK - not be any measure else. And this point seems far away today - even after months of work...
  10. So why exporting Created and Changed dates if the Changed dates will got lost in any case?
  11. Feature Description As a user I want to backup complete note lists to my own place These places might be folders on local PC, Dropbox, Google drives, NAS, ... Executed on a daily, weekly, monthly base... with a dedicated start time Backup format should be ENEX or HTML (on users choice Expected behaviour Definable in account Settings Executing automatically if a PC is running Get an eMail or note of success to a definable notebook Service might be an extra paid service or included in Professional accounts Workaround External program(s) like Backupery Background information (See also...) Discussions: How to make proper and automated back-ups of Evernote v10 data [on Windows]? Evernote missing features, bugs and wishlist topic A.03 This note: 008 - Automatic backup to my own place
  12. As I understand, Experts should drive an own business around EN. BTW: Does anyone know (or have good estimations) about Teams installations at all? As long as I'm a Teams user I've not seen any special enhancements to support better Teamwork (i.e. Tag management in Teams is poor compared with personal accounts, Chats have been discontinued - but price increased a lot, ...)
  13. Problem Description Currently it's impossible to import HTML as note content ... like it was possible in Legacy by move HTML files to its import folder ๐Ÿ˜‰ V10 imports all files from import folder as attachments for new notes ๐Ÿ˜ Import command itself offers only ENEX and TXT files to be read. The duplicates on the forum are repetitive and people have a hard time getting into Evernote if they have a lot of notes in Competing systems. Expected behaviour Be able to import "notes" coded in HTML, Markdown ( & CSV ?) by reading files from defined import folder(s) Offer a command/procedure to import other (competitor) formats (competitors might import EN notes) Often mentioned here: Apple Notes, OneNote, Obsidian, Notion, ... Workaround none so far... Background information (See also...) Discussions: Import Apple Notes into Evernote This note: 035 - Import notes from Competing systems (evernote.com)
  14. Bug/Feature Description If you click on a Favorite note, the list goes away (note occupies complete main window except left pane) It explicitly bothers users who have a specific note directly in Shortcuts. If they click on it, the Cards/Snippets/Side list is disappears. Because of this, they started using "Top list" exclusively But this list disappears If you navigate to a note from outside EN, the list goes away (...) Expected behaviour The note list (with no regard to its display format) should be visible all the time Background information (See also...) Evernote missing features, bugs and wishlist topic C.01 This note: 005 - Display Cards/Snippets/SideTop Note list all the time (evernote.com)
  15. Bug Description If you export notes und re-import them later, all notes get an Updated date "just now" Expected behaviour An import operation should retain the Update date of the note before export Background information (See also...) EN itself recommends ENEX saves in Saying goodbye to legacy versions of the Evernote app so many of current users try to export notes and will be disappointed on this later... Evernote missing features, bugs and wishlist - Top D.01 This note: 004 - Import from ENEX does not preserve note update date
  16. Bug Description If user A shares a notebook to user B (with write permissions of course), user B is able to change tags of notes in this notebook. He also can add tags as long as the tags have been used in other notes of this notebook This is OK up to here! Problem: If user A then moves a note with some other tags from a non-shared notebook to the share notebook, user B will only see tags, that have been already used by other notes within the shared notebook. B cannot add tags to this note. If user B tries to assign tags (F3), a message comes up: This message contradicts with the finding above Expected behaviour: User B should be able to assign every tag that has been used already in notebook (by other notes) to the note Workaround: User A (the owner of the notebook) might add a new note with all desired tags within that notebook (because preparing such a note and later on moving to the notebook does not enable tags be used. But: This is not a really good workaround because this note will come up (and disturb) with every search around these tags ๐Ÿ˜ž Background information (See also...) 001 - Cannot assign Tags to Notes in shared Notebooks
  17. Bug Description Normally EN comes up with its new colour scheme that shows only low contrasts (at least from version 10.77.3 on) Sometimes (often after changing the account if you use more than one), it comes up with an older scheme that uses a black left pane.. Expected behaviour App should come up the same (new) way in all cases Workaround Restart App or change account once more Background information (See also...) <tbd>
  18. I'm sure it exists also in Support - but our "problem" from user's POV is that all this is hidden. I'd love to see more about the things that are going on. It would help to shrink down ever and ever upcoming simple and more sophisticated answers in forum groups and other communities.
  19. Great! May I invite you to discussion EN-Teams account to collect/view/comment issues (bugs and wishes)? And: You're free to catch up things from EN10 - missing features (from beloved Legacy) ๐Ÿ˜‰
  20. Hmm, if EN is able to count our doings even in finer measures (L usage, Tag usage, ...), it shouldn't be a problem to give us stats... OK, after some thoughts about, what's about some changes in my suggestion? Who will get Writer? In a first step all Level 3..5 and Expert forum users ... if they are willing to help because it will take some time to collect already known issues ๐Ÿ˜‰ Anyone who want's to be part of the Writer team sends a "Give me access" message that has to be granted by Admins. I propose that Level 3..5 and Experts have proven enouph not to abuse goals of such a indicent tracker. I think it will be no more than one or two dozens of us who would help. Who will get Reader? Forum users with at least Level 2 All other newbees can be handled like ever by forum users Readers cannot abuse anything. But it was a bad idea, to enable Readers by a similar process. It might be much easier to offer one free account. So the Admins have to handle only n(Writers)+1 accounts. To close the door of changing anything on the Reader account I've to add a topic to Prerequisites EN has to disable access to the Account page for the Reader account to disable changes (i.e. of the password ๐Ÿ˜‰) AFAIK the Forums are driven by an external service. Is it even impossible for you (as a moderator) to move threads around the forum groups? To be used as an issue tracker, this forum has at least one problem: It shows no thread-ID (maybe in front of the thread subject). It would be much easier to navigate through and maintain overview over a forum group if users can see this ID and us it to reference threads. Example: This thread here should be named "ยง150537 EN-Teams account to collect/view/comment issues (bugs and wishes)?" "ยง150537" should be inserted automatically before the title in every display If a user types "ยง" during inserting text anywhere, the editor should work like currently if you type "@": with every following character, possible continuations are displayed and to ease the input of the complete ID. If an ID is input, the complete ID and titel should be displayed as a link to the thread like ยง150537 EN-Teams account to collect/view/comment issues (bugs and wishes)? This is exactly my problem with the forum to be used as an issue tracker: There are too many users who do not care for overview. If a Teams account based issue tracker is maintained by people like your and some others who know what's to do, this cannot go out of control (Remember: only some Writers and many consumers) Great - I think many of us have (for several needs) such standard answers. But it's your personal work and your personal list. Wouldn't be fine to have this list available for and maintained also by others? Such a list might be available as a notebook "FAQ" in our issue tracker containing i.e. notes like "ยง17 Open note in new window" Hey - Tags are already invented ๐Ÿ˜‰ Yep - would do it the same way. But would honor any idea to help me. So I keep hoping for an answer sooner or later... OK, the idea of a user-driven issue tracker might be born because of the non-existing official Support this time. If the newly formed Support team will offer a similar system there is really no need for a user-driven support.
  21. Sorry - that's a vague generalisation. I for example would like to live with grand-parents and children. Am I No-one? ๐Ÿ˜‰ EOT @all-here?
  22. Fine. It withdraws a statement in offical Blog that says "... will stop working" - which means (in my eyes) also "... stop searching local data" or simply "... stop starting" Yep - but simply exiting does not need a re-login later. Translation of username to numerical userID to locate local data is stored anywhere (in Registry?). If Evernote.exe has an internal time-bomb that fires on 23.03.24 - Puh - this date was a long term decision. Build 6.25.3.9348 (309348) has been built in December 2021 and signed on 14.12.21... Finally agree ๐Ÿ˜
  23. No - in my case such thoughts are only to widen my knowledge. Maybe I can use is elsewhere... ๐Ÿ˜‰
