I have found that some documents which were OCR'd/Indexed by the legacy version are not fully OCR'd/Indexed by the latest version. This results in different search results between the two versions. I tracked this down by doing various searches and seeing what notes were returned by the same search on each version. Doesn't make complete sense to me, as I would have thought both versions would be "looking" at the same index. The notes causing the discrepancy in my tests were not recent ones. Support ticket raised recently, so am awaiting a response.

Yes - reported even as far back as the beta version.

Same issue - I was prepared to live with the horrible (appearance-wise) widget. However, finding that images wouldn't display was a bit to much for me. I've reverted to the legacy Android version using the APK and turned off updates. So, for now I'm sticking with legacy PC and Android versions for doing any work. I occasionally try v10 when a new release comes out - but it seems that every new release adds a bit of functionality, but introduces different bugs. Even in the latest release, merging notes still causes image loss.

I've activated the widgets for Android using v10.4. However there doesn't appear to be any way to style the widget/action bar. I would be happy with the way it looked before. However, the the new version looks terrible and matches nothing else (green icons on a bright white background with almost unreadable grey text). Is there any way to change this ?

Yes - 10.6.9 - On Win 10 PC I'll see what support come up with. sent them some screenshots & logs.

This morning + again just before I replied here. I also noticed that when I click on the "ENLARGE" button (under the missing image) it opens the original image in a new tab. However, this is actually a link to the image on the original website (which of course makes it useless for archive purposes, if the original site changes anything). I've just now done another test with 2 web clips using "screenshot". Once again the images have disappeared. Of course, in this case, the full note is just an image - so nothing remains except the titles from the merged notes.

I used "Article" to clip in all my testing.

I have an open ticket related to this. While producing some test examples, I discovered another apparent bug. If I merge two notes, then another two notes into two new notes, then these two new notes cannot be merged into a single note. It starts working, then I get an error message : "We were unable to merge all the items. Please retry" The other funny think happening is that when I merge 2 notes, the images appear there initially. However, when I go back later, they're gone.

I am using the Web Clipper/Clip Article. I've just tried it again, and am getting different (better !) results. This time it displays correctly in Android and the new version. I can't see any reason for the change in the new version, apart from the fact that some time has passed, and the image is now displayed ??? It could have been down to a delay in Evernote Update/Syncing. The legacy version still just shows a link - but I now think this may be an internal (Evernote) link, rather than a link to the original source file. The image format is .webp, which I think the legacy Evernote can't display. Here's a link example : TELEMMGLPICT000249044382_trans_NvBQzQNjv4Bqe5jTtuvhyhg4PHi86V8a0uHC4uooAYptTLzL00kNATY.webp If I try to right-click to copy the image, nothing happens. This is possibly because the images isn't "in" the note, just a link to the image in the Evernote database (possibly an attachment ?). This could also be part of the reason why people are having problems with Copy/Paste of notes containing images.

Yes - same is happening to me. Generally image handling is not working well. Some of the problems I'm having : (1) As above, merging notes with images loses images in some notes. (2) .webp images display on Android (latest version), but not in legacy (show a link in a box) or in v10.6.9 (show a broken link image) (3) Webclipped pages (e.g. from newspapers) store links to the page images, not the actual images themselves. If the source article changes or is removed, then the images are gone. I think this was reported as far back as the Beta version. The only way I can see around this is to manually screenshot the images and paste them into the note. Not a viable,or acceptable, solution.

Following on from this update from Ian Small , I would love to see an AMA on Reddit - or here - with him. Should help clarify some of the many outstanding issues, questions and suggestions many users have.

I'm not an Apple user - so just to clarify : As I understand it, IOS is the mobile operating system, and Mac the desktop machine(s). So, if I understand you correctly you can't use the legacy option on phones, but can on any Mac desktop/laptop system ?

If it had been released as a Public Beta (or Alpha) all of that could have been avoided. Instead it was a "push" update. I'm on Windows - so continuing to use the legacy version. However Apple users don't have the same option.

Yes, that's one option. However an important part of that option is "engaging". That rarely (never ?) happens.

Yes - but you have a choice where you store the Evernote Legacy database. It can be on any drive available to you. V10 seems to locate its database on the installation drive (or C:), and without preferences you can't move it. So, if you're running both versions you can spread the usage across 2 drives, by moving the legacy system database. This is what I've done.

Actually, the legacy version still has preferences, so you can move the database to another drive, if you want to.

I've been an Evernote user back to the first beta in 2008 (user ~2400 - according to an email from Evernote). Following the fiasco which is the latest release - I've been looking around for alternatives to Evernote - Nimbus and Notion being my current testing choices. Funnily enough though, the best alternative I've found so far is Evernote Legacy. I cannot believe how the development and release process has been handled so badly for a mature product with millions of users. Relying on Evernote Legacy is not an option though - given there is absolutely no commitment to keeping it running - or no cut-off date specified. Having participated in the v10 beta, my impression was that the opinions and suggestions from the beta testers were largely ignored. The only time significant attention was paid to us was when a feature didn't work as the Evernote team had already decided they wanted it. Then it would be actioned. Otherwise - crickets. Pushing out a 'live' release like this is just incomprehensible to me (having worked in SW development for 20+ years). At best, it could have been a public beta - but I don't even think it's ready for that yet. So - I'm hanging on until my current subscription expires (or the legacy version stops working) and will re-evaluate then. However, based on what's happened recently, I don't have a lot of hope for improvement.
