No, I know what he's saying... On the same computer, the screen size (and scaling) changes because of an external monitor. EN saves the actual pixel size of the window in the registry. So when the size of the pixel changes, EN is going to be a different size. I wanted to save the values in a normalized (100%) pixel size, but that didn't happen. The only way around it is to export the registry (specifically HKCU/Software/Evernote/Evernote/WindowPlacement/ ) and reimport those settings after changing. That means: - Get EN placed as you want. - Fully exit EN - Export the registry key to "laptop.reg" (or something) - Switch to the desktop setup - Run EN and get it placed as you want - Fully exit - Export the registry key to "desktop.reg" Now, before start, you want to import the appropriate reg file and then run EN. Or just resize each time...

Multi-select
dcon replied to CausticTies's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 6.25.1 and under)
I remember when that was implemented, I argued that we should allow any color (use the standard Windows color picker!). Product Mgmt at the time decided that would be too confusing to the normal user... (I think the other argument was that all systems might not support that, so we'll just use a minimal subset of colors.) Obviously, I lost the argument... -
View notebooks in left panel
dcon replied to Lpmann3's topic in Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 6.25.1 and under)
It sounds as though the OP may have minimized the side bar... Try pressing F10 to toggle it if this is what you see: -
AutoUpdate too big !
dcon replied to GR34's topic in Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 6.25.1 and under)
I do that... When an update is announced, after EN downloads it, I copy that exe to my backup-installer directory (which is currently at 67.5GB with all the programs I have). Current versions tend to delete that once the update is done now... -
Why does this title bar exist?
dcon replied to Narnk's topic in Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 6.25.1 and under)
Once upon a time, we tried tweaking that caption. We finally convinced the designers that it was a monumental waste of time by pointing out the number of bugs over a 6 month period and the fact we still didn't have it quite right. Fighting standard Windows features is a sure way of not getting the program features you want! (because there's only so many hours in a day) -

Yes, you can safely delete those installers. -
Dark Mode for Windows
dcon replied to Georgi Georgiev's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 6.25.1 and under)
As far as I know, all those other clients support dark mode natively. Win32 does not. Which means writing custom controls for pretty much every single UI element in the app. That is a massive job (I know, I looked into that before I left). So prioritizing performance is a much better bang/buck for the Windows client. LOL. You joke about that... The Windows dev team is about the only people there that run Windows. (Tho, when I left last June, they had managed to convince a couple more people to use Windows as their primary system) -
Chance of a 64bit evernote?
dcon replied to sinman's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 6.25.1 and under)
Oooo. That one looks nice - I'll have to keep it in mind when it gets time... I do often bring mine to dog shows (where I'm secretary) - that would travel _much_ better! -
Send to
dcon replied to stevec831's topic in Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 6.25.1 and under)
Unless something changed since I left, the Windows EN installer does not create a send-to item. Never has. -
Chance of a 64bit evernote?
dcon replied to sinman's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 6.25.1 and under)
I didn't figure it was. But all the googling seems to imply "this is how to fix it". You know... the internet... sigh. For now, single sided scanning is fine. For things that are truly double sided, I can use Acrobat to reorder the pages. When the scanner fully dies, I will probably go for another ix. They're not cheap, but I've been loving this one! (It also helps I was an EN employee when I got it - EN had a blowout sale for employees and we got it for something like 80% off!) -

Chance of a 64bit evernote?
dcon replied to sinman's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 6.25.1 and under)
Ah, that's good to know! The SS web page certainly seemed to imply everything would be done via wifi... Now I can debate about whether to do it or not... Though I'm wondering if my scanner is dying - it now has a black bar on the backside scan. Tried cleaning as suggested, but that didn't fix it. So at least for now, I've disabled 2-sided scanning. -

dcon replied to sinman's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 6.25.1 and under)
I got that email saying the Evernote specific version is now dead - Hey! Upgrade to ScanSnap Home! (firmware update plus PC software update) (reads the fine print) Um, this looks like they're taking away USB scanning and forcing me to wifi - and their cloud. <expletive> no! (I take my scanner to remote places with my laptop [dog shows] that have no wifi) -
Windows tends to stick to Win+<something> for its keys. It could be a different program registered that sequence. Global hotkeys are a first-come-first-served type thing. And that's not a global hotkey for EN - it's just a standard accelerator sequence (as in, it will only work in EN, not when another program has focus) And it still WOMM! (Works On My Machine) (Win10Pro + current patchs, EN6.22.3)

Just run the old installer again. If it prompts for anything, you're doing a "repair". EN should be able to upgrade (or uninstall) fine after that. It sounds as though you may have some clean up tool that is removing msi files from \Windows\Installer. As you can see, that's a _really_ bad idea. Those MSIs are used as the script to uninstall old programs.

Unable to expand Left Panel
dcon replied to RobD's topic in Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 6.25.1 and under)
This was something (when I was there) that we could never reproduce... Maybe these hints about resolution might actually help with tracking it down! @Iriska -
Shared URL
dcon replied to tochilin's topic in Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 6.25.1 and under)
If you're being blocked in a browser (not the desktop exe), then it sounds like ISP is blocking the URL. EeGads! I'm actually surprised that can still connect as I thought Evernote blocked all clients before (shoot, I forget the exact version, but I think) 6.7. -
Snap to Shape in Ink?
dcon replied to dvgibson's topic in Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 6.25.1 and under)
That's true. The Ink editor is a special MS control so it doesn't integrate with the editor window (chrome) at all. -
