  1. Cmd-Z is configured as 'undo' in the shortcuts list but unfortunately doesn't work globally.
  2. of course backspace works but that's not what cmd-Z / ctrl-Z (in Windows) should do...
  3. I experienced this yesterday, found several notes with 'untitled attachments' that I knew were there before I switched my main Mac to V10. They are in the ENEX file that I created from Legacy before the switch and they are definitively gone in V10 with no trace in note history. So I'm just stating what happened, why would this be a derisory comment? EDIT: my fault was to switch to V10 then...
  4. unfortunately on a Mac cmd-Z - which should be reserved to 'undo' globally - opens the 'find'-dialogue (latest Macos, latest V10)
  5. What we ask is for V10 to reliably do what it is meant to do, like not loose content. This is essential and not a personal preference.
  6. Of course this is my opinion, like your rants are yours, which is equally obvious. They are definitely viable alternatives for Legacy, whether they fit anyone else is not you or me to decide.
  7. Actually the update notice in Legacy only talks of an update. The 'V10 is a completely different app' narrative has come up in the forum recently but is not what BS promoted, it was announced as a new version of Legacy (screen shot from an inactive instance of Legacy from today):
  8. There are actually two alternatives if you are on a Mac: Keep It and Eaglefiler Keep It is like a clone to Legacy with better tag management and additional benefits (finder integration etc.)
  9. I would totally agree, - if there were only a couple of issues - if there was a chance to get support within a reasonable amount of time - if I had enough trust in V10 being at least a reliable base even for important stuff like Legacy definitely was - if you would spare the rant against users with different experience from your own ('pity party') As it is I would have to write tickets and answer unrelated support questions all day which I don't have time for. Luckily I made a complete export to ENEX files right before Legacy stopped syncing, imported everything into EagleFiler and Keep It and will use Evernote only as a static data dump until my subscription expires in November. Especially Keep It is like a clone to Legacy with added benefits, so I couldn't be more happy and encourage everyone who misses Legacy to give it a spin. And if something goes wrong I get support repeatedly within a couple of hours including individual modifications to the apps that correct my issues (found an issue with Eaglefiler with 'umlauts' and received an update within 2 hours (including analysing and recreating my issue, writing a fix and rolling out a beta just for me). Of course this kind of support is only possible with a small company, I wouldn't expect BS to react so quickly, but Evernote support has been abysmal not for the last few weeks but for the last few years when it was needed most and that is not something I can't accept with software that is so important to my work. I see that BS are working to improve things but I have no confidence whatsoever in the code base they acquired so there will probably many more issues popping up. Since I now have two viable alternatives that do exactly what Legacy did and much more I will post issues here just for information and if others find them as well BS might react.
  10. Before Legacy shut down I exported everything to ENEX files (22.000 notes mostly with PDF attachments, 80 GB). I just imported my largest notebook into Keep It (7200 notes) and voila, the note with the 'untitled attachment' was right there with the attachment. So obviously in the upgrade to V10 the attachment was deleted / corrupted, interestingly without leaving a trace in note history. What bothers me most is that I only accidentally found this note (and a couple of other similarly corrupted) so there is no way to estimate how much is lost and whether important stuff is affected. Since I never had similar issues with Legacy I suppose V10 cannot be trusted with important stuff. Trying to rename the 'untitled attachment' in V10 didn't work either, the name change was simply ignored. I had hoped to bring back the PDF by renaming 'untitled attachment' to something that made more sense. I had this issue with notes created from a PDF in V10 as well, PDF web clipping a PDF into Evernote also left me with a note without PDF attachment i.e. an 'untitled attachment'. But a note that had already been there until recently and then been corrupted is far worse in my opinion.
  11. I seem to have incorrect results on MacOS, like others have reported recently. Results being omitted, search for partial strings seems to fail etc. Errors look to be random as well but haven't tested any further.
  12. I am familiar with that window 😞 Today I found several notes that used to contain PDFs that after the step to V10 now are definitely gone, both locally and on the web client. Will check note history on them to see whether a previous version has been saved. EDIT: note history is empty... Since I edited the title and tagged these notes (which consist only of an attachment and a title) I am sure the attachments existed, I would have noticed an 'unidentified attachment' instantly. Been on Legacy when I clipped the PDFs to Evernote and didn't touch them since August last year so I'm pretty sure the disappearing is V10 related. Never had an 'untitled attachment' with Legacy, ever.
  13. Thanks, that's better. I guess the AI edit can't be switched off? Or AI altogether? Don't want it for now...
  14. Hello, when I select text in a note sometimes (no real pattern) I get a pop-up suggestion to "AI edit" offering completely irrelevant options for an AI edit. Can I switch this off? Same goes for "/" commands, I don't want my notes being visually garbled with these suggestions, even more so directly under my cursor position. I know I can insert slash-commands and I don't have to be reminded constantly. This is unnecessary and therefore annoying at least.

    Date format

    Must revive an old thread originally from 2020, since this has not been solved: Just tried to insert a Date in V10 but unfortunately the format (Germany) is not correct and not configurable. Any options that I did not find? As it is it is useless, since correcting the date takes more time than entering it manually. cmd-shift-D inserts 9 April 2024 which is incorrect (9. April 2024 would be correct). I would like to have it in another format: 2024-04-09 in order to be able to sort by date. Any tips?
  16. That's not true. @treelight's post, as most other in this tenor, was about defects and deficiencies of V10. If these were not present orcat least not so numerous, nobody would loose a word about Legacy. Most of us have seen versions come and go, but in my opinion (and I'm in IT since 1987) no update of an essential app has been so disruptive to my work, ever. Hence the comparisons to Legacy.
  17. I agree 100%, there are too many issues one doesn't even know where to begin complaining with BS. At least you confirm some of my issues so I am not alone in this BS. I can only reiterate, try Keep It and Eaglefiler, both are valid replacements for Legacy.
  18. Try Keep it or EagleFiler if you're on a mac. EagleFiler is rock solid amd Keep It as close to Legacy as it gets but both wirh added benefits.
  19. Well, I totally agree bud was unaware of V10 causing herpes. Thanks for the heads-up 🙂
  20. That's why I mentiined these, all are self hosted locally.
  21. This goes for the web clipper as well, always switching to V10 and opening the newly clipped note in a separate window.
  22. Mac only: You can easily import your ENEX to Eaglefiler which is completely local if you wish and still syncs e.g. via Synology drive (tags and xattrs preserved) or other personal cloud services (owncloud, nextcloud). I did that with some 22000 notes, most of them with large attachments (ca. 80 GB in total) without any issues (ok, had an issue with German umlauts but got a patched version if Eaglefiler within 2 hrs (!!!)).
