if you change the displayed size in Windows, that will hold until the note is next edited on a different device - then all bets are off.

WOW! ... Until this morning, I have rarely edited existing notes on other platforms (EN-Android, EN-iOS etc), esp notes with lots of images. Other clients/platforms have just been for viewing/read only access.  This is a real blow and let down... but, your Table-Workaround may prove to be even more effective, as I do like how image sizes displayed, adjust to the table-cell automatically when dragging/copy pasting across.  Bugger!  Thanks again Gazumped, cheers

I'd guess that the number of people who choose One Note over Evernote solely on the basis of dark mode rather than other, more functionality-based reasons, is  vanishingly small

Yep...this is exactly the camp I fall into.  Not having Dark Mode for EN-Windows is a big let down for me, however based on all the other similarly important features/functions I need, EN still wins the day.  And I continue to use a Simple Dark Mode Work Around I shared with the community in 2018, that works great for me.

Thanks for all your replies and ideas.  Seems like either way(s) comparable time is still required to sort this out.  I tend to have no more than 18 files/tracks at a time, so will continue to just adjust/rearrange manually.

As a final note:-  I noticed that files labelled and sorted alphabetically by Title,  do NOT retain their order when dragging and dropping.  I then looked at the file size of each file dragged across to see if EN was sorting based on size, but again I could find no logic/pattern... so appears random.  Indeed only the files with a numerical 01-, 02-, title-prefix seem to always follow the same order, when dragging dropping.  Oh well, thanks again.

Cheers @Dave-in-Decatur for the confirmation of this being a bug.  If it's not too much trouble @Shane D., could you please forward this to the right internal team/pest-control-dept, for immediate bug eradication? Thanks.

When using EN Tables, many times I use a font color, other than the default black, to highlight important words within a cell/row/column etc.  The issue I'm having is that when I change the background color of a cell/cells, this results in resetting the cells font to the default font color.  I have attached a visual example, notice how the word Great and EN changed when changing background cell color.  This does NOT seem to effect Bold fonts or link colors.

Any way to stop this behaviour?

EDIT:  I'm using EN-for-Windows version: 6.18.4.8489 (308489) Public (CE Build ce-62.3.7750)

For whatever reason this has not been my experience.  I double click on the shortcut and EN opens to the note represented by the shortcut.

Perhaps this happens at my end due to a multi-monitor setup, and viewing EN on a screen other than the main screen.

FYI, if you want to bypass going through the browser use Ctrl+L to get a the link.  You should see the EN icon versus a browser icon

Strangely, it's the exact opposite for me, at-least after a few attempts at using CTRL+L vs CTRL+ALT+L  ...maybe a result of the down-under, upside down, southern hemisphere thing for those in Australia like me 🤪  -or- CTRL+L being assigned elsewhere...cheers again

Thanks @CalS... another little nugget saved to my Using-Evernote notebook. 

I knew how to pin a program like EN to the Taskbar, but didn't think to pin a shortcut to a specific EN note, to the desktop, nice.  Having said that my Desktop is devoid of any shortcuts as I learned years ago that this is one step to speeding up my PC, not sure if that's still relevant in 2019/2020.

One thing to be aware of, when using desktop shortcuts to specific EN notes, is that when clicking the shortcut, prior to the EN program being opened/started, the note you wish to view will be hidden behind the main program window, if when you last viewed the note, any note, it was NOT viewed in Full-Screen.  So, to be sure it is viewed on top of EN program window, make sure you viewed your last note in full screen, via double clicking or CTRL+ENTER'ing a note.

Windows Desktop Shortcuts -PROCESS:

1. Right-click Desktop
2. Select: New>Shortcut
3. Highlight EN Note in Note-list, or click inside note editor window, then:  CTRL+ALT+L  (to create a link)
4. Add link to Shortcut window > Click Next
5. Name the Shortcut

Cheers

If I recall correctly, I read somewhere that I must wait for EN Web-Clipper to complete before navigating to another app, or browser tab, else it might stall/fail etc, is this right?  I only ask as sometimes long form web-pages can take a while to clip.

Web-clipper options I have configured include: 

• Default Clip Action = 'Article'  
• After Clip: = 'Show successful clip dialog'

I use web-clipper for Chrome on a Windows 10 PC, and use EN-for-Window v6.18.4

My literary skills are, well, lacking.  Had to look him up.  But I can relate to him saying "The most wasted of all days is one without laughter."  Now, where's your two thumbs up on my feature request?

Brilliant idea @RavBoy Why didn't I think of that!? 😅

Love the existing text formatting options I have when using my EN Windows....   and now looking for a few further add-ons please.

I'm an ALL CAPS freak, especially to denote sub headings, and so many times I forget to turn-off the Caps-Lock button on my keyboard, only to lookup at my screen after entering a line, or many lines of text, and finding I have used the wrong case-type!  At these times I turn to a small PC-installed utility-tool from www.convertcase.net 

App options include:

I simply paste the incorrectly formatted case/text, click the desired case button, copy again, then paste back to EN, and wolla. 

But what would be great would be if a button on EN menu allowed for the same thing... so 3 more options please:

1. UPPER CASE
2. Capitalise Case
3. lower case

Many thanks

When clicking a note link, the note list changes from "all notes" to the notebook where the target note is located.

This of course is a problem

I see the same thing.  Sitting in all notes in all notes context, click on a link and the context changes to the notebook of the note.

I'm still on 6.18.4  and mine does not behave as you describe. My version stays in ALL Notes, however....

I would love to be directed, or land in the Notebook where the Note lives, when navigating to it from a link given in another note...that would be a BIG HELP for me so I'm a +1 Vote for this

check under 'shortcut keys' in Evernote Windows

According to the EN article Jefito shared above, re EN Helper, the shortcut to 'Clip Screenshot' is:   Win + Shift + S   -or- just right click the tray icon and select menu option.  The shortcut key does NOT work for me... as my MS default installed app 'Snip & Sketch' activates instead (perhaps this shortcut sequence is hijacked). 

Beyond this, I think you're comments refer to the 'EN Browser Web Clipper' extension for chrome/windows... My last question to Jefito was to distinguish between Browser web-clipper screen capture (just captures area of web browser window) & EN screen capture (captures anywhere on PC screen, including EN app-window).  I just didnt know EN had such a thing.  But when I tried it I realised it didn't work as well as my existing method, tis all.  😉 cheers mate

Thanks for that info, good to know.  Currently I just use/press the print screen button on my keyboard, which allows me to take whole screen, or partial screen, by drag handles for whatever size screen capture i need, then just CTRL+V into my existing note I'm working on.  Whereas this EN feature that's accessed via right-click on the EN icon in my tray, creates a new note, for each screen-cap instead of adding to the the note I'm working, so not ideal for me.  Even the 'past clipboard' feature creates a new note.  Anyway nice to know this feature exists...cheers

My EN Android app installed on my phone also comes with 3 built in widgets that I can choose to add to my Home screen(s)

I have installed the existing and available 4 x 2 EN Android Widget - which I note I can adjust its size to fill my whole home screen - so creating more like a 5 x 6 widget

-however-

I also  installed the existing and available 4 x 1 EN Android Widget - NOTE  -I cannot adjust its size (via drag handles) at all!

So my small, but can live without it request, is please Mr EN, allow me to resize the existing 4 x 1 widget and or add a 5 x 1 widget to the available Android widget options...cheers

Evernote applications and the web clippers to be different application, and try to push web clipper problems towards the web clipper specific forums, in case they're different teams

I didn't really get what you said, as quoted above. 

But after just now testing EN-Android 'Full Article' Clip (of a webpage using Android Chrome app, then Share to EN), compared to clipping the same web page using EN Windows, web-clipper for Chrome, the resulting Note clipped on windows was much better, with regards to its formatting, more complete, no missing blocks of info etc etc.  So big differences...and I see now how these different clipper applications for each platform create different end results when viewing the resulting clipped notes. And I suspect how websites render on mobiles v desktop PC plays a part also.

I have decided that when wanting to capture a webpage, YT video etc, when on my Android phone I will ensure that the EN 'Full Article' option is deselected, this results in a simple bookmark type note containing just a Note Title and URL, that I can later open the URL and clip it again from Windows...so a 2 step shuffle.

The web clipper doesn't talk to the Evernote Windows client; it talks to the Evernote servers.

These sorts of distinctions really help me to improve my understanding and hence use of EN, cheers.

6 hours ago, jefito said:

that this dialog refers to the Evernote screen clipper, not the web clipper,

I don't follow.  Can you please explain what the Windows based EN Screen Clipper is???

Finally, I did have to wait some time before EN resolved/fixed the screen shots i uploaded...however the clips were still not formatted very well.  Again this was when sharing-to-EN/Clipping from EN-android phone.  I will try another clip and mid-way through will tap the EN elephant icon and then deselect the 'full article' option and see if the formatting improves... cheers gents for the answers & help

Yeah - in Android you can tap the 'saving' button to choose a notebook,  but whether that's (as I think it is) a sticky setting or it reverts to default,  it should at least be consistent...

Appears to be sticky; at least it stuck when I tried it again on a different page.

Woohoo...Cheers @jefito it worked!  When clipping a page from EN Android, pressing the elephant icon while it was performing a 'full article' clip indeed does bring up a box that let me change notebook, and YES the change was sticky, or remained for subsequent clips...nice thanks. 

BUT we have a new problem Houston!?  Clips look strange/appear faulty, when I sync my EN windows app, admittedly only a minute later, and look at the notes/clips just made on EN Android phone... here's an example when Sharing-to-EN/ clipping from different Android Apps: YT, Chrome, News 360

YT-YouTube app (on Android)

Google Chrome app (on Android)

News 360 app (on Android)

So riddle me that, BatMan

EDIT:  Think perhaps I have to wait like 5+ minutes for EN server to do its thing before syncing my EN Windows...will try now

web clippers tend to be separately configurable from the applications; for example, on Windows, the web clipper doesn't appear to use the default notebook as configured in the Windows application (Tools / Options / General / Default Notebook)

Yeah, that's my experience also. Never really thought about this till now. I just changed settings in web-clipper (for Chrome) so that both web clipper and EN windows both have same default notebook.  My setting was set to 'smart filing', which i might actually switch back to 🥴. 

I guess my unconsidered-till-now reason for configuring Windows default notebook, has been to try and force other devices to use it.  And this approach has worked when using EN on iPad, but not so great on my Samsung Note8 Android EN-App.

5 hours ago, jefito said:

On Android, configuring the default web clipper notebook is not obvious, but you can do it by tapping on the web clipper "elephant" icon while it's clipping, and you can set the notebook there

Will give this a go, thanks.  The elephant icon has an outer ring denoting how long/time left to complete the clip, so as long as i can press this inside the on average 2 seconds-to-clip time, then this hopefully will work.

It's different from the default notebook in the Android web clipper application

What do your settings look like in Windows?

Hey @gazumped cheers mate.  Here's my settings as requested. Note when using EN-for-Windows I'm on version 6.18.4.8489 (308489) Public (CE Build ce-62.3.7750)

I use EN-for Windows, most of the time, followed by my Android Phone, and then iPad.  On all 3 devices, I have checked and can confirm that my default notebook is displayed/set correctly on all.

However when I 'share/clip' a webpage or video, using Android Phone apps such Google Chrome or YouTube, by using the share icon, then select Evernote, EN saves the resulting 'full article' clip to a Notebook that is NOT my default notebook! Any ideas how to fix this?

Note:  When I do the exact same procedure from my iPad, YES EN-for iPad saves the clip to the correct Default Notebook as expected, so its just happening on my EN-for Android phone. 

I have 2 of the 3 EN widgets offered, installed on my Android phone home screen(s).  When creating a new note using the widget icons, I can confirm that in this instance EN uses my correct default notebook...so the issue only occurs when sharing/clipping from other apps installed on my phone...any ideas how to fix this? cheers

EDIT: Can a moderator like @gazumped please put this Post in the EN-for-Android Forum...thought I posted there.  This is about my Android Phone app/usage

you can also clip as a pdf. Preferably from the reader mode of the page

I don't seem to have this 'clip-as-a-PDF' option in my web-clipper for Google Chrome!?  Tried different page reading-modes, but no clip as PDF option...what am I missing/how do you do that?
