  1. Up to now we have no add ins with v10. Furthermore it doesn't support any scripting (I think because the Electron framework doesn't support scripts in general). You can store barcodes as pictures. To better organize them, you can use a table, and place the pictures inside of the table. But that's it what I know about barcode functionality.
  2. Click on the first (or the very last) tag. Now hold down Shift and click on the last (first) tag. To select individual tags click on the first you want to select. Now hold down ctrl / cmd (Mac) while you click - this will select individual tags. Once you selected the tags, press ctrl / cmd - C to copy. Go to the target note. Click into the tags area. press ctrl / cmd - V to insert. If you get only a single tag, you didn't select them, or you lost the selection by one click too much. Because you do the clicking practically without getting a visual feedback (at least I don't see anything with the washed out colors of the new UI), you need to do it practically on remote.
  3. The way you would probably keep but sort of hide information would be by taking it to a second note, and just maintain a link to it in the first note. Far more flexible than trying to hide things behind a collapsing and expanding outline. I am in general for having an outliner (and initially expected that the old management would think so too, because they added the 3-level-header right when they started v10). But I am in favor more for the obvious reasons.
  4. I understand it is sometimes used (and probably useful) to create a certain sorting order. But I agree that it is in general a bad idea to interfere with the content of fields used by the system.
  5. I am watching over the fence from time to time. The corresponding Reddit post after 20 hours has "already" 6 comments (not all of them positive) and 4 upvotes. This tells more about the state of the request than the "interesting" arguments posted here.
  6. I think it actually does store data, when you move between client generations. And there will be little legacy desktop users who still fiddle with legacy mobile. On iOS it is impossible since long, and I doubt on Android many are actually downloading apps from "alternative" sources. So if you run legacy desktop and mobile v10, you cause a permanent flow of conversions to and fro. I don't think an account is really doing this on the fly all of the time. Especially the metadata used for search and similar must be duplicated - you can't rebuild them permanently.
  7. EN offers a specific product & service. It's abilities are known, as are the limitations. Why should they care about those who already left ? They have basically no way of talking them into coming back. And why should they, they would just win a bunch of disgruntled former users, many of them who never paid a dime for using the app. Why should they care now about those who insist an outdated software generation needs to be kept alive forever. You can only do this for a certain time, and the internal cost of doing it will rise in parallel. There is v10 as an option, there are other apps, and the export assures everybody who want to leave can take his data along. The holdout legacy users are just a tiny fraction any more of the user base. They had no leverage because they refused to participate in the development of the app. And now they have even less, because I am pretty sure that somebody made a simple calculation: Lost sales by loosing all legacy users - Cost saved by cutting the sync = (Imagine any positive figure) That's how such decisions are taken, and be sure the "Positive figure" is a significant one. They don't need advocates (except they subscribe), they need paying users who have a positive interest in being part of an ecosystem that moves ahead.
  8. Furthermore you can move the most use shortcuts to the top 9 positions, and then use them simply by typing ctrl / cmd (Mac) - 1 - 9. Each number will open the corresponding shortcut.
  9. This is a mid-runner among feature requests, so it could be a long wait. If you want to promote it, send your ideas at feedback@evernote.com Tell them WHY it is important for you, not only that it is.
  10. Working for me on 10.77.3 Mac. What makes it a bit difficult to use is the lack of visual feedback while copying the tags, especially if there are many of them. Select the first, go to the last, shift-click, cmd-C, open the other note click into tags, cmd-V. Hurray - or *****, it failed. I think that when it fails, usually one of the steps done blindfolded went wrong.
  11. We have had this request, mainly after the first releases of v10. EN didn't do much about it, and the requests dried up. So far the history of the date modification, good luck to your renewed request. Always include WHY it is important for you, not only the fact THAT it is.
  12. When exporting to ENEX you can split the export file inso several files with a limited size. This way you can import step by step. The imported notes are technically new notes, so the links between them will be broken. The links use the UUID of each note (a universal identifier for each note), and these will have new UUIDs after the import.
  13. The minimum system requirement for the modern v10 client is Android 9 (it used to be Android 10, but they lowered this by one notch). The only solution is to get a device running on Android 9 or above. No idea about other note taking apps on Android. On iOS it is pretty simple, because the OS already brings a quite usable note taking app.
  14. You will only be able to open the database files with a running client. For the time after sync is cut, I would not rely on this. The export is OK. Just keep in mind when you used this "comfortable" Select ALL - Export ALL feature in legacy, that your notebook information is missing. It is simply no part of the ENEX file. To know which note goes into which notebook, you need to export by notebook, not "all in". And keep the files small - many other apps choke if you throw 20GB at them in one go.
  15. It depends on your database size how long it takes, your internet connection, your devices specs, your concurrent use while it downloads, .... I don't think there are 2 downloads equal in their setup. What I DO like is that EN is not placing the big one massive server opposite to my punny internet connection, and says "Hey, we are going to blow you away with what we can do" - and saturate everything with pushing their data full power. Unfortunately there is no download indicator (the mobile version has it, and it is really nice) on desktop. I use the Activity Monitor (Task Manager on Windows), tab Network to see if there is ongoing traffic to the EN client while I am not using it. Just let the computer running, with the EN client open - it can be in the background. This is all it takes for the download, plus a little patience.
  16. Make sure you have the latest version installed. Open the app settings, go to the Calendar tab, open it. Tap on "Add account". Follow the instructions.
  17. 1) The link is as official as it gets. You could use filehippo.com as well. 2) Nobody knows. What we know that in offline mode there must be an existing prior login to allow any offline access. Logging out before going offline results in not being able to open the account through the client. The only way to be sure is to find out. And if not, you should better have a Plan B.
  18. Whatever. If I would be running a cloud service in todays internet environment, and I knew that there are clients out there, unpatched since 4 years, running on computers with "Oldie but Goldie" OS like Windows 7, I would have sleepless nights until that leak called "Legacy API" is taken offline. They have described the expected gains pretty clear in their blog post. For everybody to read https://evernote.com/blog/legacy-decommissioning
  19. Storage savings will result when the keeping of data for legacy and v10/RTE can be abandoned. The incompatible data structure leads to keep things twice - whenever a user is running on legacy and v10 (for example on mobile or web) in parallel. No idea how significant this will be, but I think it has an impact.
  20. Currently tables are a passive HTML formatting element. I doubt that active functionality like calculations will be added to them. This would require an add on, like a browser extension.
  21. You can do any personal project to play with your data after legacy stops syncing. I don’t see any use case for this, because the syncing of content is at the heart of what makes up EN. But feel free. If you mean EN by „the company“, you are wrong with the assumption that anything cost them time and money. They close the server access on the announced date, and be done. They will use the move to save money, on storage volume, on system maintenance and on dev hours wasted on keeping the old system connected to the modern database driving the current client.
  22. Fine, thanks for posting. If you want to tell EN: feedback@evernote.com About speed: If you just recently downloaded the v10 app, it will not be as fast until it has finished downloading your content from the server. For large accounts this can take some days, with the app running. If it remains slow, there is likely a corruption in the local database, which can be fixed by replacing it. I run v10 on a number of devices, and it is snappy on all of them.
  23. Android 8 was released in 2017, nearly 7 years ago. It is not supported by Google or the device makers since long. You can try the hack with an alternative OS, or get a newer device. EN v10 is running with Android 9 and up. Note that this Android version is as well not supported any more. This would be a used one, or as alternative a new one, that can be bought from roughly 200€/$ upwards.
  24. @ben353253 Getting better: Add some conspiracy, always good for clicks. What do you want to contribute here ?
  25. @Tom Sed If you mean undo, by ctrl/cmd Z, menu command or undo icon. You find the status at the bottom right area of the window, in light grey text, usually telling everything has been saved. Sync is instantaneous, it syncs every little change right away. It is so fast that you could not move a mouse over a button to place a click in that split second. If you have syncing problems, it is today most often by using any legacy client in parallel. This forces conversions on the server, what leads to syncing and other issues.
