You have very specific demands. „Sort by location“ for example is nearly no issue in the forum (you can search it to check). What does it mean ? Any „sort by“ means the database needs another index. Add index on index, and what you get is the usual bloatware. This special index furthermore doesn’t make much sense. Location data only exist for notes created on mobile. Notes created on desktop and WebClipper notes don’t have location data. Which makes the sorting pointless. You can search for locations, and you can save these searches for later use.

@Rob25 The way you can design Home is both innovative and restrictive. It’s meant to be your dashboard, joining several views to one panel. It is no list builder. You get the most benefit from Home when using v10 features like linked calendars and tasks. Else you can decide to skip home, and start with a notes list. To create tailored lists use the filter widget, and save it as a search when it does what you want. This can be a single notebook selected, which will create a list of only these notes. You can remove the old client without interfering. Each has its own local database and settings. They are only connected by each syncing with the server. For a full removal a tool like Revo Uninstaller (PC) or AppCleaner (Mac) will make sure that nothing is left over.

You can always check the server status here: https://status.evernote.com/ Most of the time the problem is a network issue, not the server. To try the easiest way is to use another channel (like a mobile device) and open the app. If EN responds, it’s an issue with the connection.

No way - the right preview panel can’t be removed. The better option is the new Home screen. You can setup a filtered widget, that will show notes based on criteria you define. It is more flexible than showing a list of notes based on a notebook. If you like Home, you can always start there when opening the app. Or you skip it … Search can be tailored by using the filters icon over the middle section. Explore them - there are more possibilities than existed in the old version. Check the „contains“ filter, which is new. If you start search when a notebook is selected, this notebook is set as filter. You can add more by selecting from the filters option. If you like a filter setup, you can save it as a saved search. These are just a few hints. Having a Professional or Teams subscription, you get full boolean search in addition, which allows very complex search queries.

And ? Are you running short of memory ? It’s there to use it, where is your problem ? RAM is not downgraded by apps using it. We are not living 20 years in the past, when shaving a few KB off the RAM allocation was celebrated.

I assume you assume correctly. Many users don’t understand that fonts are not a free commodity. A note created with a font installed by Windows will look differently when opened on a Mac. Windows fonts are not available on the Mac, and will be replaced. Only the method EN uses by bringing their own fonts along assure a unified font experience across all clients.

Your own screenshot posted way above this posting shows the total of all EN processes at appr. 40%. Beside this even if it would be higher - what is the purpose of a potent CPU ? I think to use it. That the i9 has a heat problem by design, and will make excessive use of the fans is not the fault of EN. I installed the v10 client last on my new M1 MacMini. Just took it, build the database without showing any distress. But I digress. This is how it looks on my MacBook Pro with i7, with the EN desktop client open and idle:

You can propose it. I doubt this will ever see the light of the day. Currently MS Teams is probably leading the pack of all conferencing apps, followed by Zoom. Webex is 3rd - a VERY distant 3rd, the market share of Zoom is 8 times as big. No dev will put a priority on supporting a niche app with a market share way below 10%.

It uses 70% of one core. If you have an 8 core, this is equivalent to 8.75% of total CPU resources. Not really much, it is currently building a multi-GB local database. An alternative is the web client, that runs in a browser. But it doesn’t have a local database, and only works while it has an internet connection.

Just start Chrome without opening a single tab. What you will see is a browser using appr. 1GB of RAM, without doing anything. The framework EN is using is build based on Chrome.

The desktop app is an Electron app. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_(software_framework) As far as I remember you needed to be logged in as well to use legacy offline. It is no problem, just don’t log out before closing the app. Your data is there, the login is only necessary to allow the client to access it when you start it in offline mode.

…. those who stayed ahead of things by always using the latest versions have no trouble at all. This will not be the last trap already set and waiting for the late bunch.

It will never be introduced, no matter if and for how long you wait. The update field is under system control, and is updated by the clients only. You could type something there (you can’t because the field is locked), and it would be overwritten just by closing the note after you did.

The sure fix for this issue is to switch to the new web version in account settings. There are 2 switches needed to make the change. It has been described several times, so I skip it for now.

You can repeat this with 4 or 5 devices - all typing at the same time into the same note. It is syncing in real time. You see 5 little flags in different colors (the same as the rim of the avatar pics) marching along the note, each leaving new text appear behind them. There is no more regular syncing - unless a device was offline, or the client closed. This even happens when you have opened a note in a new window, and the same note open in the client window. Both will show an avatar, and sync between them, as if they were 2 clients. With legacy this would create a cascade of duplicated and conflicting notes.

Some is by trial and error. Those of us like me who adventured into v10 3 years ago have had a head start (a bumpy one, true). There is an Evernote YT channel with a lot of pretty good videos. Unfortunately new content is missing since the old team was laid off. But for the basics it’s still a source: https://youtube.com/@evernote?si=e4Kg_xJUcyHd-kYK

Why don’t you first learn to use the app ? You can start judging when you show at least basic understanding. Hint: In v10 you draw the tag on the note. There are no shortcuts on tags. You can place notes, notebooks or searches in shortcuts. If a note has all necessary tags, select them, ctrl/cmd-C, go to the note you want to tag, ctrl/cmd-V. All tags will be assigned to the new note.

@KoZz Yes it does. Legacy stored a lot of content inside of a database. From the outside you see one database file. v10 has a central database as well, but stores content in a broad structure of folders and files. The database holds the reference data only. The final size should be similar.

The fonts are there because they work on all platforms - notes will look the same no matter where they are opened. If you have a display problem on a PC or Mac client, go to the settings of the app. There is an option to use hardware acceleration. Switch this option OFF, maybe it helps.

Both settings are more or less in the middle of page 1 and page 2 of the settings. On page 1 it’s a link you click to switch the editor, on page 2 a checkbox that you enable. If notes are now saving, you made the right changes.

Then … wait. Probably it will be a long wait 👨🏻‍🦳

The desktop version will build a local database on your drive, unless you decide to opt out of it. To use it offline (which I frequently do when on a train) you only need to stay logged in when you are last online. You can quit the app, you can shut down the Mac - just stay logged into the account. This is necessary to be able to open the database when offline.

No thrill - the percentage is 100% = a single core is occupied. Your i9 should have plenty of reserves. The v10 client is running in a framework. Think of it as a Chrome(ium) browser running with the app as front end. Chrome is a resources hog. After the database is organized, things calm down. On my Mac (i7) the desktop client needs below 10% on idle, 20-30% when busy and never goes beyond 60% for a few seconds.

Hint: The relocation of the database is only possible with the desktop client direct download. The option will not show on the version installed through one of the stores.

RTE is not causing ANY note conflicts. It is avoiding them. The note conflicts occur when the modern RTE data structure must be converted into the aged data format of the legacy client. There the conflicts happen.
