this was one of my first disappointments with EN moving to an Electron app.
It's also why I now work in surgical robotics (and oddly, I switched from Windows to Linux to do that!)
(I spent 6 yrs working on the EN Windows client)

"coming when we finish it"
Wait - does that imply there's actually an end date to an application's development? 🤣

an old app called MindManager
Hey, I know that one! I worked there (2012/2013) before moving to Evernote. ("moving" == "laid off")

simple table of "coming soon
That would surprise me... During my 6 yrs there, it was a very firm "we don't announce timelines/dates" that whole time. But a lot can change in over a year...

Yes, this is new behaviour. I will find out if there's a technical or security reason for removing that ability.
I'll bet it's so updates can be done without requiring UAC!

Try pasting into Notepad first, them copy/paste from there into Whatsapp/etc. Evernote puts text onto the clipboard in multiple formats (in this case ENML (EN's special format), HTML, and TEXT). Whatsapp is interpreting that HTML text badly. (Using a clipboard viewer, you can actually inspect what it looks like - I use ClipSpy from Michael Dunn (the URL listed in the program is no longer valid - it's old (2001)!))

When you say you 'cannot' delete the app, I assume you're seeing some error messages about a missing MSI? The standard fix -as you seem to know- is to reinstall the same version.
And the typical reason this happens is because the MSI file in \Windows\Installer was deleted. (never clean that directory!)

BUT still no change to Note List background
The note list is not controlled by the CSS you are changing. (CSS is only used in HTML based views) The note list is a raw Win32 custom control.

This is the desktop though???
EN certainly didn't write an HTML renderer . When I said "The browser used internally is Chrome's browser", I probably should have written that CEF (chromium embedded framework) is what is used. Which is also the same thing the Chrome browser (and many others - including MS's Edge now) use.

So I gauss it's Evernote's software problem.
EN has no integration with Pinyin that I know of (I left in 2019), so I don't really know how EN could be causing a problem with how Pinyin works...

several Evernote process (like 6 or 7 of them) are spawned
Just so you know, this is completely normal. The browser used internally is Chrome's browser, so like Chrome, EN spawns multiple children to deal with html rendering.
Another thing to know about EN - clicking the close 'X' does not exit the program (by default), it merely hides the program. (If you turn off sync-in-background that behavior changes) To actually exit, use the menu item "File->Exit"

It’s detritus from opening an attachment which doesn’t get cleaned up like it should.
EN can only clean it if it knows the program using it has closed. There's no way for it to know if the program using the file simply closed the file. And to make things more fun, if the program is a Windows Store App, there's no way to know if the program itself closed. So EN plays it safe and just leaves them there.

Sounds like you're referring to the actual 'attachments' EN database folder located on your PC.
That's not where attachments are stored. That's where EN creates a copy when it needs to open the attachment. The attachments are stored in the database (exb file). You can safely delete everything in there (well, you could when I was there...)

Hi. Try reinstalling 6.24 to 'refresh' the structure, then update to 6.25?
Technically, that's a "repair" And, yes, that should fix the uninstall issue which will fix the 6.25 issue (since it's trying to do an uninstall first)

Hi. IIRC that's resolved by setting the correct window size, then quitting out of Evernote (forcing a sync) and logging back in...
Before I left, that was something I really wanted to fix but priorities...
Evernote only saves information to the registry when it quits (completely). I wanted to change it so it would write immediately.

It'll be interesting to see if they do offer a technical explanation
From what I remember of the discussion, it was a financial decision. Atlas wasn't free (no, I have no idea about the cost - I stay away from that stuff!)

Interesting, I have it enabled, not seeing a problem, maybe it's because I also have beta updates enabled?
Not seeing a flood of reports, maybe it's a limited issue.
I don't have beta enabled. And I only saw it the one time (when I updated). I am on 309091.

that sounds more like a Firefox restriction than an Evernote issue
Just realized I hadn't added the FF extension on this (new) computer... It does appear to be an EN extension problem - in FF, there should be a toggle to enable the extension in private mode. But that toggle isn't in FF (it is for some of my other plugins) - so it appears the EN extension is saying "don't" (very well could be FF now requires explicit 'yes I can' where it didn't before...)

Just wondering where you got access to the program code?
LOL. I remember that being actually fairly well architected code. Yes, some areas were a little delicate (Thar Be Dragons!), but not bad for a program that has something like 15 years of legacy code in it.

So that doesn't really hold water.
Sure it does. Evernote uses lots of controls out of the Common Control DLL. Firefox doesn't. Some of them are not easy to tweak. (I know, I tried customizing the list control. I lost a lot of hair.)

Click on ^that^ and select "Top List"

Huh. That should only happen on a same-version-upgrade. Looks like the installer didn't get built correctly.

As I remember, that number was defined by product managers... I don't remember if it's a configurable number...
The new Evernote 10 Version List of Missing Core Features
in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 10.0 and above)

The special EN version of ScanSnap was "killed" off a while ago. Fujitsu was provided the steps to upgrade from the EN version to iX500 version (http://scansnap.fujitsu.com/global/evernote/index.html) I haven't done that yet... But I just use mine as a scanner, not connected to EN. (Got mine when EN closed down the store - EN offered employees a can't-pass-it-up discount) (plus, I think mine is dying - when scanning double-sided, I get a massive vertical black bar - cleaning did nothing)
