That would be the UNICODE consortium! -
sorting and emojis
dcon replied to lisec's topic in Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 6.25.1 and under)
Not random. It's how the OS says to sort it. (As I remember, it uses the Win32 comparison api) -
Sublime is a plain text editor. Google Docs pasted exactly as EN did. Your 2nd paste was paste-as-plain-text - that's different. What's missing in EN is Google's paste-as-plain-text. (I'm never sure what paste-and-match-style does - I don't use it) What I do for things like that is paste into a plain editor (notepad, sublime, vim, etc), then select the text there and copy it. That puts plain text on the clipboard and removes any other format that EN may attempt first. (EN will always use html before plain text if it is available)

Dark Mode for Windows
dcon replied to Georgi Georgiev's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 6.25.1 and under)
Guess my old Lenovo X61 isn't the future... Yes, that's a 32bit piece of hardware - still running Win7 (I tried to update it to Win10 at one point. Failed miserably. So it makes a good test machine) The only other 32bit "machines" I have are a couple Win-XP VMs. Not really sure why I haven't deleted those... -
Surface Pro usage
dcon replied to shekala's topic in Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 6.25.1 and under)
To the OP, as far as I know (and I doubt it's changed in the almost-1-year since I left), Ink notes cannot be converted to text (there is no text in them - only ink strokes), nor can a text note be converted to Ink. I have no idea whether they get OCRd (I don't think so since they're not images) -

Right click on the toolbar, Customize. You can drag/drop icons off the bar and put them on. -
There is. When a new note is initially created, it's not really there yet, so you can't delete. If you just switched to a different note, that new empty note will just vanish. (That whole new note flow is funky as h**l. Caused me no end of grief when working on issues in the various note lists. So much more fun to be doing greenfield work on robotic systems!)

Dark Mode for Windows
dcon replied to Georgi Georgiev's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 6.25.1 and under)
Uh. Yes there are. See my posts from (I'm guessing) a year ago. Dark mode has nothing to do with 32v64 bits. Windows Dark Mode is implemented in WindowsRT. We're (darn it - they're) a Win32 app (that refers to the API we're built on, not 32v64 bits - microsoft has such wonderful (confusing) names for some things). The application could be converted to 64 bits far easier - I'm guessing that wouldn't take more than a week, assuming all the 3rd party libraries in use are available. (no, don't suggest doing that - because now you've increased the installer complexity by more than 2. you've increased the testing effort by 2x. And frankly, it's not that memory constrained except in a couple particular places (import/export of enex files for instance).) Supporting dark mode means completely (and I mean completely) rewriting the entire UI layer. Either in another technology (WinRT) or by completely customizing all the standard controls currently in use. (For instance, I tried to do the standard list control - after a solid week of work it was nowhere close - I'm sure it can be done, but at that time I had other bugs that were far more critical.) Finally, there is a complete rewrite in progress. See the Beta thread. -
Evernote auto start up when user login
dcon replied to jianfa.tsai's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 6.25.1 and under)
It does. In the direct download version. This option is not enabled in the Windows Store version as we (when I was there) never figured out how to do that (and then, when an article was published a few years later, never had the time to implement it). -
Tag font color not syncing
dcon replied to Suri's topic in Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 6.25.1 and under)
Some preferences (particularly the windows-only ones like remember per folder sort order, colors) are stored in a user area - that only has a limited number of slots. So if you try to do a lot of folder customizing, it's not going to work well. Shortcuts are also stored in this area. (I forget if it's one slot per shortcut or one slot for all of them - I can't check the code anymore!) -
Because that's not how Windows works... There are event handlers for each menu item. These dynamically enable/disable those items based on the menu identifier. But there are no event handlers for the parent menus because those items have no identifier. As a side note, those items not having an identifier make it very "interesting" when you want to add/remove a menu hierarchy.

Edit Dictionary
dcon replied to ivanyoung007's topic in Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 6.25.1 and under)
Some background. That happened when we upgraded from CEF 1 to CEF 3. (Chromium Embedded Framework) So "some goofball" is Google. -
When I was there, we had this report come up several times. But we could never recreate the situation. It's something weird with machine configuration, registry settings, DPI settings, something, other things, etc. Oh, and the phase of the moon. (I did actually have it happen once on my dev machine. Couldn't get it to do it again...)

I've had some laptops that required an engineering degree to do that. The really older ones typically had bay-accessible drives, making them easy to replace. Newer (but still old!) laptops got rid of the bays, requiring you to basically disassemble the entire machine. I remember one (Sony, I think) machine where I wanted to pull the drive. I gave up - couldn't figure out how to crack the case without actually, you know, cracking the case.
