Using Acrobat PRO DC. I opened within Evernote initially to make changes, but it wasn't saved in the note.

Do you close acrobat? As I remember, EN only updates the attachment when it sees the program it launched has exited (which simply doesn't work for Windows Store apps - because they're "special".)

Evernote has no direct support for a pen. Any pen actions it sees act simply like mouse actions. (Well, unless they added that in the last year, but it doesn't look like it)

Not random. It's how the OS says to sort it. (As I remember, it uses the Win32 comparison api)

it doesn't seem likely to be a high priority

I know during the 6 years I was there, it never even appeared as a hint in any upcoming work...

That is the standard windows folder selection dialog. (Since I'm no longer there, I don't remember what option are passed to it)

You can browse to your OneDrive folder by navigating to "C:\Users\<yourname>\OneDrive".

Ok, so double clicking the .enex file on my laptop from the windows explorer folder, or right clicking the file and selecting open, both resulted in the popup notification saying it was imported, but again no import notebook was in fact created and no note imported!?

If I remember, it just goes into your default notebook. You can also drag/drop the enex to a specific notebook (or just to the note list).

Sounds like you think the website code is the root cause of the problem.

Doesn't my GIF disprove that? Google Docs, Sublime, OneNote -and every other program I've found- perfectly capable of copy-pasting as expected? Why is Evernote uniquely incapable?

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)

Evernote seems incapable of copy/paste line breaks from YouTube.

What EN is capable of completely depends on the source from the website. If they have really squirrelly html source, there's not much EN can do about that...

Future, here we come !

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...

Is that a Windows feature?

Yes. And sometimes they do get autosaved and become real notes. So as usual, your mileage may vary... (but if delete was disabled as above, then the note is still just temporary)

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)

May I ask how you added that ink notes icon to your toolbar? I can't seem to locate it. Thanks!

Right click on the toolbar, Customize. You can drag/drop icons off the bar and put them on.

There must be more going on, Evernote allows deletion of "empty" notes

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!)

There are no technical limitations making it exceptionally difficult to do.

Uh. Yes there are. See my posts from (I'm guessing) a year ago.

So to get dark mode, EN needs to release the whole app in a completely new, 64 bit version.

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.

Why not an option in Windows Evernote app > Options settings > user select checkbox so Evernote auto launch when laptop start up or user log in. Please implement? 

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).

Exactly. It doesn't matter what level a menu item is at - it matters whether that item has children. An item with children is a very different beast (in Windows-land) than an item that performs an action.

Hi. I wasn't aware of any limit

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.

Though one can get a new laptop delivered.

Can confirm! (Lenovo X1 Carbon)

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...)

Amen.  I was going to add an SSD to my wife's 5 year old Lenovo so as to cut down on my help desk duties whenever some Windows process would take the machine for a ride until I watched a YouTube video on how to do it.  Getting a guitar pick and peeling back the keyboard was a bit more than I was interested in doing.  So the help desk is still open....

😒

Sometimes, it's just easier to buy a new laptop. (And considering the time that would be spent, cheaper too!)

If the Laptop has a classical hard drive inside, it can be replaced by an SSD.

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.

For instance, in the Store EN, I can't find the option to "launch EN at startup".

When I left, that was something that had not been implemented yet. Auto-starting a store app is very different from starting a win32 app (just add a shortcut in the Startup folder)
