Anything in the Activity Log? (sometimes issues will be noted in there)

Way back when (when I was there!), the decision was made to make the initial toolbar extremely minimal. Like @gazumped, I immediately customize my toolbar after a clean install (I put different shortcuts there, of course...)

6.23.2.8859 version

In addition to forcing updates on old versions, the upgrade stuff could be set so specific versions were tagged must-update. Sounds like that was one.

the likelihood of it changing soon is probably pretty low

My personal opinion: "the likelihood of it ever changing is beyond low". I could be wrong... I have no idea what the new beta can support - I stay(ed) as far away from javascript was I can(could)!

Oh I knew that -- it's just that both of you posted things worth reading!

I know you knew that! But some of the newcomers may not have made the connection!

and we can't change it.

You could open the EXE in Visual Studio (as a resource) and modify the resource table...

But, no, the ability to allow the user to remap accelerators was never done. It's not the simplest thing - I know, I implemented something like that in my little hobby program. With very limited developer resources, that was a conversation I never even heard come up during my 6 years there.

(And, no, I don't know the history behind the mapping - that was done long before I started there)

F3 is already in use. As is almost every key combination! As I remember, there's well over 100 different accelerators. (With a note in focus, F3 jumps you up to the tags and lets you start adding a tag)

As I remember, the option to Skip is removed if you're on an old unsupported version. What version are you currently running?

Please go back and read previous posts by @dcon and o/ or @dconnet for more information.

`@dconnet` was my previous Evernote time (thru Jun 2019).

`@dcon` is me!

I just installed it, and honestly I wasn't aware that either of these two was supposed to appear. I still don't see them. Where should I be looking?

The first one you may have previously said GOAWAY! ("Don't show again") I know the first time I install on a new machine and exit, I always click that!

I think the 2nd only comes up sometimes (I don't remember the conditions). But you do need to have sync-changes-on-exit enabled (in options).

anything you might share?

Just using the `/DebugMenu` one. Tho I don't really need any of that stuff now...

The fact that my Windows 10 setup works fine

On one of my machines, the shortcut is always broken after install. The other machines are fine. No idea - and I worked on installers for a couple years before joining EN. I just delete the weird shortcut because I have a custom one that passes some command line args. I blame MSI.

So how's that working' out for you??

Obviously, from my point - Good! From other peoples? I'm too old and cranky to care!)

Understood, but why the difference in behavior between "ar.component" and "r.component"? That's what makes my nose wrinkle...

🤷‍♂️

No clue whether it's the EN editor or CEF. (I never looked at the EN javascript editor. I'm a C++ dude - I have to preserve my sanity!)

It merely offers a system-level settings switch.

Not really. The only way a Win32 app knows that is by looking at an undocumented registry key. (Unless MS has changed that in the last few months - I work on Ubuntu now so I don't really keep up on things like that)

And trying to get some system components (like the list control) to draw correctly is ... um ... I'm sure people at Evernote can still hear the echos of my screams (I left last June!) when I tried to get the listctrl working correctly...

Smells like "I think that looks like a web link so let me help you out"...

Video acceleration issue?

In Options, General page, try turning off 'Enable Hardware Acceleration'.

I'm currently having that issue with Access 2007 on one machine. The wonders of MSI...

My experience led me to believe that, at least, additions to the dictionary were  stored and managed by CEF

That was always my impression too. Though I never worked on that part of the code...

Remember when we (well, it's now 'they'!) upgraded CEF? The dictionary format changed. (Which made a number of people very grumpy)

But you can adjust the style of a local notebook. Mine are a slightly more grayish text.

Hmmm. In SysInternal;s Process Monitor, I do see the Evernote process creating a copy of the attachment (a PDF file in my case) in the temp directory on drag/drop.Don't seem to see it in a copy/paste operation. Mysteries abound for the idle mind...

 

This triggers a vague memory... I think we had to do that to work around some oddities in CEF (chromium embedded framework) in order to get DnD to work. I didn't do that work, hence the vague memory. (after looking at CEF code, or worse, modifying it, an exorcism is required).

Once you close EN down, any files left in the temp folder can be safely deleted.

so it's not unlikely that it would ask for rich text formats first

If I remember correctly, HTML is the first format requested (well, actually the 2nd, the 1st is EN's special format). Then RTF, followed by UNICODE. Somewhere in there is bitmaps...

How does EN know the pixel size?

What I mean: If EN is running on a high DPI screen (let's say a 4K screen at 200%), then a nearly full screen width could be 3800 pixels. It saves that value. Not a normalized one at 1900. So when you change monitors and are now on a normal screen (1920px) at 100%, EN starts at 3800px.

Another way, but less desirable - r-click on the actual evernote.exe and change the DPI setting at the windows level. But this means the app will be blurry on hi-DPI...
