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...

The only thing that will make it even better in IMHO if the color picker in the dialog box had an option to select more colors

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...

It sounds as though the OP may have minimized the side bar... Try pressing F10 to toggle it if this is what you see:

that it might be worth keeping one or two of the most recent ones around

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...

As I said, standard stuff.

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.

How did MacOS, iOS, and Android color theme feature parity jump to the front of the line on those priorities and leave Windows at the back or as the designated driver?

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.

Is it likely that if the development team used Windows instead of MacOS then it would have be prioritized or at least been included?

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)

If you like a smaller footprint the s1300i does a nice job.  Still does double sided with 10-15 page capacity.

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!

Hmm. I seem to recall that attachments used to come in in the order chosen from Explorer. Doesn't seem to work that way now. I wonder if they implemented some sort of threaded (i.e. parallel) loading to make things load faster, but now the ordering is not retained.

As I remember, the ordering is simply what Windows says. (Keep wanting to type 'tells us' - but I'm not 'us' now LOL!) EN doesn't know how that is sorted. And who knows how Windows actually keeps its internal list...

Unless something changed since I left, the Windows EN installer does not create a send-to item. Never has.

This is for sure no dirt

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!)

From the image, it looks like you're running the normal Windows exe. And there just happens to be a full screen browser running behind it.

Why the note keeps opening there, I don't know. When I open a note, move it, close it, open another note; that 2nd open opens where I closed the first one.

USB is working, ...

...

To use the SW, one has to convert the EN edition scanner to a normal ix500 by firmware update. It makes it work as any other ix500 (like mine, which was a standard one from the beginning), but it can’t be reverted. 

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.

that will force me to use ScanSnap Home

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)

I would suspect that Windows 10 has decided that it needs Ctrl+Shift+C

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)

Thank you very much. I'll try that but what do you mean by "refreshing the installation"?

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.

This setting should come with a clear warning that it disables what we expect when we select automatic sync even if automatic sync is selected.

If you hover over the setting, the help tip does tell you.

This was something (when I was there) that we could never reproduce... Maybe these hints about resolution might actually help with tracking it down!

When I try to share a note url and open it in a browser

If you're being blocked in a browser (not the desktop exe), then it sounds like ISP is blocking the URL.

Evernote for Windows 4.6.3.8096

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.

It seems ink cannot be combined with text or other edit elements, is that so?  If so, it seems limited.

That's true. The Ink editor is a special MS control so it doesn't integrate with the editor window (chrome) at all.

Are there any keyboard shortcuts to navigate views backward/forward in Evernote for Windows?

Alt+Right, Alt+Left. If you modify the toolbar and add the back/forward button, hovering over that will show the shortcut.

This may also be coming into play:
