Uh, okay.

I just opened chrome on a second computer (not connected to the first by a shared network) to see what is written about specialized anti-keyloggers and here in the web version of Evernote my google searches showed up. Preliminarily showing a message that Evernote has been updated to the latest version. 

I'm trying to be objective.

I would suggest scanning your machine for malware that could be intercepting your keystrokes. Evernote doesn't do this.

Yeah, I'm on it right now.

I hope so. 
It's still weird. The same google queries are displayed in both the web version and the Android app

it's a good time for cospiracy.)

Lol it doesn't. Maybe there is a keylogger on your machine.

I've been thinking about it. But I have almost no software, I don't download anything from the net, I don't put extensions on chrome. And I'm generally careful about data security. Searching for bugs didn't turn up anything. And this whole thing literally just started with the latest Evernote update. 

funny

I just typed "evernote forum" into google to post a message to the community about weird notepad behavior, and the search engine immediately showed my query among recent Evernote searches. 

wtf?

Feeling a little confused. Today, Evernote's search box suggested in recent searches the things I searched for on Google. Since when does notepad follow my browser?

I checked the web version. Not a single "hole" was found. Is this really a bug in Evernote for Windows?

I compared your screenshot with the situation on my Mac (High Sierra) and I do not have any space between the note info and the upper edge – on your screenshot marked as 1. Perhaps something was updated in the meantime (your post was February 2, mine here is on February 20). Or it's a Windows thing?

The space between the note and the menu appears when I expand the note.

Speaking of taking lot of space 😕😒

I think I won with a score of 51:43 ;))))))

Three little used buttons take up most of the menu. 

One more thing.

@Federico Simionato plz, Add a blue border around selected notes when viewing in list mode like in snippet mode. I have good eyesight, but even I can't tell if I've highlighted something or not. The lack of contrast is definitely not about productivity. 

1. The application works faster.
2. Visually it became cleaner. 

I have some comments on two things.

1. Empty space between the note and the menu. I suspect that the developers plan to open multiple tabs in a window.
2. The AI button takes up a lot of space, and taking into account that in Ukrainian the words are already much longer than in English - unreasonably much for a button that I almost never use. I think it can easily be reduced to an icon without a description.

I would rate it 4/5.

Well, the problem with the web-clipper is still not solved. Smart categorization doesn't work, it works very badly with mail service - the clipper doesn't see the opened email and tries to save all the contents of the mail client.

Fixed! The problem is that Evernote turned off Hardware Acceleration. I wasn't even aware that this option exists; perhaps it's new, and it defaults to "Off"?

Anyway, enabling hardware acceleration (in "Tools > Settings") solved the problem.

In a fit of UI brilliance, you have to turn off the checkbox in order to enable hardware acceleration:

it works!

What I love about this forum is its objectivity. If you ask a question about what direction Evernote is developing, you're sure to find out how to properly share links)) 

Okay. That was a rhetorical question.

These are useful things, although I don't fully understand the last one, but were any of them available in legacy?

 

none

<<...a set of articles...>> For example, in Notion, you can quickly design a research or a short wiki on a project and send it to the customer. It's very convenient. https://biminua.notion.site/

Hi all!

Almost all posts complaining about Evernote begin with the date the forum members started using the notepad. Ok, I've been using EN since 2011. In that time, I've gone from notes like "oh, gotta remember to have a glass of beer on Friday" to databases, task schedulers, and a kanban board in a spreadsheet. I now have about 60,000 notes and about 1,000 tags. Yes, I'm a skilled user. I'm a journalist, writer, media strategist, and due to the invasion of f*ng russia in Ukraine, I'm also a volunteer. 

And no, I'm not going to leave Evernote. At least, it seems very challenging with my data baggage.

But I'm genuinely trying to see if EN can be useful to me in 2024?

Let's take a look. EN is still a great knowledge base solution with great search. Good text editor. And of course, has a great web clipper. And let's not forget about AI, I believe Evernote + AI = the right direction for the company and users.

What's bad (from my perspective)? Very slow with my volume of notes. The program regularly freezes when moving to another note or notepad. (yes, yes, I periodically contact tech support). Unlike a smartphone, you can't select the number of notebooks to load on a PC.  (That is, I always have minus 100 gb of disk space.) There is no color coding of notes in the list. I'm a visual person and I'm more comfortable navigating by color to quickly find the note I need. I get by with emoji in the header or tags, but would like a full-fledged solution. I know the issue of color highlighting is relevant to many users. Mass editing of notes is limited to 100 notes. No tool to find duplicate notes. Unable to change the image in the preview. It is impossible to quickly make notes into a mini-article (or a set of articles). It is impossible to integrate other services into EN. Yes, many will say "why do you need that?" and they'd be right, but I'm noticing more and more often that I use Notion to create a media plan or wiki because it's just more convenient there. And faster.

Yes, I'm a skilled user and I can do something similar in EN as well. But I find myself in a dilemma. Either I'm building the knowledge ecosystem in Evernote with my own hands for a long time. Which in a moment can be destroyed with the next update, as in the case of Legacy. Or I have to use two or three other apps. Which is inconvenient and expensive, especially with everything that is going on in the world and Ukraine. You know, when a rocket flies over your head, you would rather buy bandages at the nearest pharmacy than pay for another service that "increases productivity. 

So I have a question for everyone. Is Evernote in 2024 a data storage and processing product or a productivity app? Because the company obviously can't implement both. I would like Evernote to be a niche product about data, about information, because there are not that many convenient services. Or, if they claim productivity, let them implement it to the fullest extent, so that users do not have to look for other products. Damn, they doubled the price, but they still haven't explained what product they're creating and for whom.

That's bad. Suggest you open a support ticket to make sure Evernote sees this and hopefully improves it in a future update.

yes, I immediately contacted technical support.

New feature ! Let us drop 200 files at it ! Oh didn’t work ? Let’s delete 200 notes ! Oh, took very long ?!

What do we learn ? When I do X, Y follows. When I do 200X, 200Y follows. You just invested an hour to prove this simple concept - thank you for trying.

Others try on a smaller scale, and maybe observe the forum for feedback.

Why did you decide that I am testing new features? I had several hundred files accumulated that I was going to add to Evernote. That's what I need Evernote for. I shared the result on the forum. What confuses you? Notion deletes notes in seconds. But if you think that for a year of developer experiments that I pay for with my subscription, I need to be silent, you and I have conceptual differences on the main question: why the product I'm paying for doesn't work as it should?

I used the "import folder" function and got 200 empty files with no attachments. Okay, I told myself, and decided to delete them. The process of deleting notes took 40 minutes. Conclusion: It took almost an hour of my life to make sure that the Evernote developers were doing something wrong. Hey, why is it so slow? Make Evernote Fast Again!

attack of clones;)

@Shane D. In addition to the obvious problem with duplicating a notebook, I would also like to point out your attention to how many times it takes to click to expand / collapse a set of notebooks.

Do you have a passcode configured for evernote? I remember that the Android app uses the safety feature of android that allows an app to prohibit screenshots (used by banking apps for example), but I've forgotten what criteria have to be fulfilled. I can take a screenshot in Evernote on my phone and I don't have a passcode configured.

 

Yes, I use biometrics login.
ps Thank you so much! Disabled the password and it worked.

Hello everyone. A funny situation. I wanted to take a screenshot of the application error, but I ran into the fact that screenshots cannot be taken in the Evernote application. The system shows an error that the application has forbidden to take screenshots. Has anyone else encountered a similar problem?

EN 10.8.4, EN 6.25, notion, obsidian, onenote and google keep (+30 tabs). just compare

Can you confirm that this is for windows. When I download from the website I'm still getting 10.6.9. The web is on 10.7.5

I have 10.7.6 on one laptop and 10.6.9 on the other.

1. Scrolling through notes and the home page are noticeably faster. Good news.
2. Typing the text is still painful. The interval between pressing a key and showing on the display is 1-3 seconds. If you quickly type a few words and press Backspace - Evernote literally freezes.
3. Evernote still consumes a lot of laptop memory and gets very hot on the processor. it's like I'm rendering a video instead of printing text.
4. If, when adding a new tag to a note, press the key with the Cyrillic letter Б (English key <,), tag editing suddenly stops.
5. Annoying auto-formatting of text, which cannot be disabled.
6. The sidebar is still overloaded with unnecessary information like help buttons.
7. There is still no point in leaving version 6.25.

Why not move rarely used buttons to profile bar? This will free up the necessary space in the sidebar. This would make life easier for owners of 13-inch notebooks.
