Thankfully renaming a notebook is still  possible. TIP: you need to open "My Notebook List" by clicking on notebooks as shown below, then use F2 or the three dots menu to rename. It is possible to rename stacks as well, but it is like using shovel instead of a spoon to eat lunch. Nothing happens when you press F2 or right click a notebook. It is weird and counter intuitive way to rename

Just upgraded and discovered that external links now require two clicks. The first click brings up the little link interface and then the link there must be clicked to actually go to that website. Is there a way to avoid the link interface and just go straight to the website? If I want the interface then I could right-click on the link or select it and Ctrl-K or something else but when I click on a link I actually want to go to it.

I have the same issue with hyperlinks. It is so irritating that I've stopped using the new EN and installed the legacy EN version 6.25

Hi,

Does anyone know if its possible to restore the global shortcuts in the new desktop EN client for W10?

More specifcally, the "new note" function (Ctrl+Alt+N) was essentially 99% for EN value me, so I can quickly take quick notes when in a call or whatnot - tag and store for later.

Such a detour to open the client, click the right button in top left corner etc.

Might have to look for alternatives unfortunately.. Was good whilst it lasted, i cant believe its gone.

Ctrl+Alt+N works fine on my Windows 10 PC. Try after installing EN Legacy Version (6.25). It sync with EN new version. I also use Win+N to open a new OneNote

I used to link to local file inserting a hyperlink such as "file:///c:/mydrive/test.xlsx" (without quotes). The file used to be opened when I click the hyperlink.

This is not working anymore. How can i insert a link to a file in my computer in new Evernote app?

thanks

I had the same problem, but resolved it using the Legacy Version(6.25) of Evernote. The work around is to correct each hyperlink manually using the Legacy Version (6.25) of Evernote. It took me two days and several cups of coffee to rectify around 200 dead hyperlinks. The dead hyperlinks appear as: "file:///c:/\folder1\folder2......\file.pdf". After editing: "file:///c:/folder1/folder2...../file.pdf". After syncing all the hyperlinks are working fine in the new Evernote. It now takes two mouse clicks to open the hyperlinks.

For ,me double clicking the embedded shortcut file opens the file whch is much quicker than three dots menu -> open

Thanks, it works in both the legacy and the new versions of EN. It is also quite simple and hassle free. I'll  use this method for creating future hyperlinks. But for now I'm stuck with hundreds of dead hyperlinks, hoping for the "Auto-Correct" functionality in the future.

Dragging and dropping the windows shorcut file (extension .lnk) does not embed the document only the windows shortcut file. These normally weigh in at about 4kB.

Yes,  it works fine except , now it takes two more clicks to open the hyperlink. I found another way to identify and correct the dysfunctional hyperlinks.

1) Open the same note in EN Legacy Version (6.25) 

2) By hovering the mouse, check if the hyperlink is correctly formatted. The older EN had the ability to "Auto-Correct", lacking in new EN, the source of problems with hyperlinks.

3) The correct format should be "file:///drive:/file path..../file.extension". For example "file:///c:/user/documents/xyz.pdf"

4) if not, right click the hyperlink and select the EDIT option to reformat the hyperlink.

5) Next, sync the note in EN legacy version. Wait for the changes to sync and appear in the new EN . The changed hyper link should be fine now.

A tedious process if you have hundreds of hyperlinks.

The work around (which I actually prefer because I can never remember the correct format) is to simply drag and drop a windows shortcut into the note. The shortcut can be to an individual file or a folder. Works like a dream (and works in the legacy version too).

Thanks for the tip. However, it is tedious to rectify hundreds of dysfunctional hyperlinks scattered through out my notes. Some of these hyperlinks with correct format are still functional, while the others aren't. I found that the dysfunctional hyperlinks have extra characters "%5" added to the file path.  I'm unable to edit the hyperlinks.

Secondly, drag and drop is not same as a hyperlink. It creates an embedded document that increases the note size considerably.  Hundreds of such embedded notes will slow down EN, the reason why I prefer the hyperlinks over embedded files.
