I really need previous version - I have searched but not have found it... Thanx in advance for help... Marko

I've used it for years. Copy some text (or whatever), then hit ⌃⌘V. Evernote is launched, and a new note is created with the contents of the clipboard.

Well, in 10.1.7, Evernote launches, but no new note is created, and nothing is pasted.

(Incidentally, this and other shortcuts were customizable in one of the tabs of Evernote's preferences—but v10 has NO preferences at all, which is weird and disconcerting. How else are we to specify these and other other settings?)

I wants my notes in Helvetica Neue, as they've been for years. Why would you take away custom fonts and force us to use fonts you've preselected? What's the downside of letting us use whatever fonts we want?

I'm not against updates. I like new features! I like fresh design! But so far, all this "update" seems to do is (a) take away features we've used (b) make it harder to do things we've done for years. (Or in the case of iOS, requiring additional taps to do what we used to do with fewer taps.)

Taking away features is NOT an upgrade. This is getting more and more disappointing.

In the previous iOS version, when we were finished creating a new note, we could simply hit the back arrow to simultaneously save the note and return to the note list. (Otherwise, the note was automatically saved without an explicit "save" action.)

Now, there's a green checkmark that saves the note—but we aren't then returned to the note list. After saving, an arrow appears, and a 2nd tap is now required to return to the note. While it's just one extra tap, that's one extra tap per note—and when creating many notes, that's now twice the work.

This is questionable design. When notes are saved automatically (or they have been for years and years), what is gained by now requiring this extra step? (It's clear what we've lost.) Why must saving and returning to the list now be two, separate actions?

When designing updates, is no thought given to whether the new design creates MORE work for the user than the previous design?

In the past, the iOS app always respected the orientation of the camera when the photo was taken. After rotating the phone, I always watched for Evernote's icons to rotate to match the phone to make sure that photos had the correct orientation. As a result, the image would be properly oriented in the new note.

But that's now broken.

In the new version, after rotating my iPhone to landscape orientation and taking a photo, the note is created with the photo improperly rotated. Yes, there's now a rotation button, but if the app is behaving properly in the first place, we shouldn't need to use the rotation button unless we change our mind about the desired orientation of the photo. 

All new notes containing newly scanned documents have generic icons instead of image previews.

I rely upon these preview images, so this is extremely frustrating.

I'm talking about the button to the right that displays a menu of the different types of notes. It sometimes doesn't respond.

Please don't bump old threads - after 4 years' silence and 10 votes this doesn't look like an issue that gives lots of folks sleepless nights...  maybe the new editor (coming 'later' this year) will fix it...

Please don't tell other people what to bump and what not to bump. And please don't make generalized assumptions about what issues or features other people care about. 

There are numerous issues that many of us continue to care deeply about. But since the Evernote team ignores the majority of our requests and bug reports, some of us have simply grown tired of posting about them since our posts appear to fall upon deaf ears. Rest assured: Presentation mode remains a MAJOR annoyance.

Maybe the receiving System had a Limit applied. Although this is pure speculation - I have had no issues with the Mail feature up to now, but I am not on a beta as well.

You found a clue - the problem is triggered by the note size

I'm thinking "The email was returned to us" indicates the email was rejected by the recipients email service

You can check the mail headers for details

Maybe it is not a bug, maybe it is simply a mail size limit. I use several E-Mail service providers, and each has a different limit on the maximum size an E-Mail is allowed to have.

It seems you each missed this part of my post:

"Furthermore, since as a last resort I literally copied the full contents of the note, pasted them into an email, and sent the email to each recipient with no problems, this proves that there's nothing inherent about the note's content that prevents it from being emailed."

If Mail.app can email the contents of that note—and the recipients' servers did NOT complain—why can't Evernote?

I DM'd you my email address.  Try sending a note to me

Thanks. Please see the update I just posted.

UPDATE:

The note I was attempting to email (that resulted in the error messages) contained a combination of text and ~65 images, totaling ~25MB. I've since determined that smaller notes do in fact email successfully, so there's something about emailing this larger message that is causing the errors.

I have not determined a particular threshold at which the emailing of notes begins to fail, but clearly the wording of the error message that we're sent—particularly the suggestion that email addresses may be incorrect—is problematic.

Furthermore, since as a last resort I literally copied the full contents of the note, pasted them into an email, and sent the email to each recipient with no problems, this proves that there's nothing inherent about the note's content that prevents it from being emailed.

This suggests a bug in Evernote's emailing protocol.

The "Email a Copy…" feature is broken. 

(UPDATE: I've posted a clarifying update in the original thread. In short, the email bug appears to be related either to the sending of larger notes or sending notes with multiple images.)

Since this was originally posted one level up in the forum hierarchy, and since certain members are keen to admonish other users about forum protocols, I'm simply including here a link to the original thread, lest I then be accused of "double-posting." 🙄

I was unable to duplicate your results
Email was successfully received, with a cc to myself

I received the attached error message after three failed attempts to email a note to three, different recipients. In each case the referenced email address was correct.

I stand by my bug report.

I'm in 7.14 Beta 2, and every time I use the "Email a Copy" feature, I get an email stating that the email (the shared note) was returned (to Evernote) as undeliverable and that I should check for typos and such.

Ironically, the email address that ostensibly failed is listed at the bottom of that notice—and the addresses listed are correct every time. I'm not typing the addresses; they're auto-completed in Evernote from my contacts. I've now tried sending this note to three different addresses, and I get the same results each time: The "undeliverable" notice with the correctly spelled address listed at the bottom.

Incidentally, in lieu of this broken feature, I tried using "Share Note…" instead. I happened to be on the phone with the recipient, so I could hear his reactions in real time. He's very tech savvy, but doesn't have an Evernote account. He was immediately put off by the invitation to create an account, so he opted to sign in with Google. After that, he was still invited to download the Evernote app, which he did not want to do. (I wasn't taking notes, so I may not have the exact sequence of events exactly correct.) Finally he was attempting to load the note in his browser, and he said he saw a green progress bar making its way slowly across the top of the screen. But ultimately he became exasperated with the entire process and gave up. In the end (5 or more minutes later), I just copied the note's contents and emailed it to him.

I think this is useful feedback. Sharing a note (for read-only, not for editing) should NOT be so cumbersome for the recipient. Based upon this experience, I'm far, far less likely to attempt to "share" a note in the future, not wanting to make anyone jump through such hoops.

But if "Email a Copy" had worked as expected, I wouldn't have had to bother with sharing at all.

There is no option for this; the Evernote/IOS editor launches an embedded web browser

Thanks for the reply. Helpful.

It's an extra step but the Safari icon is in the top right corner; an easy click

Not helpful. Is it "easy" when you have to do it over 100 times in a session? No. If it were that "easy" I wouldn't have needed to post the question.

Your factual information is helpful and appreciated. Your opinions are not. 

Once again Evernote fails at the basics. Every other app I have that includes a built-in browser also offers a way to bypass it. I have several of them. But Evernote? No. Of course not.

How do I make links within notes always open in mobile Safari (instead of the embedded browser)? 

Since Evernote for iOS is crashing in iOS 13 beta (not a complaint; just a fact), tonight I attempted to access the Evernote web client from my iPad (in mobile Safari)—and what I saw there rendered me nearly speechless.

After creating a new note and typing a title, I kept tapping in the note-body area, but the keyboard wouldn't appear. Eventually (by accident), I realized the "tappable" area was at the far left and is literally one character wide. 

What do I mean by that? Well, after the keyboard appeared, I simply typed the word "Aurora"—but I was truly unprepared for what the web client did with my typed text. In this case, a couple of screenshots truly are worth a thousand words. Below is a screenshot of what the web client did with the word "Aurora." (The red arrow is pointing to the first letter.) Even more bizarre: The note synced and displayed in the exact same manner in the Mac client (2nd screenshot). This one's a doozy…

+1. Same thing here. It's so frustrating.

I'm not sure how I accomplished this, but my guess is using the Font Book app

*found it* see Evernote: Add Fonts on the Mac from @GrumpyMonkey 

Thanks. That procedure does add fonts to the "subset of fonts" menu.

However, Evernote still refuses to acknowledge Helvetica Neue Light. It literally ignores the choice and just uses Helvetica Neue regular instead.

Is there anyone from Evernote who can explain why this is the case? Better yet, is there anyone from Evernote who can get this bug fixed?!

1. I have Evernote installed on four, different Macs (one running High Sierra, two running Sierra, and one running El Capitan), and on each one, I see only the small subset of fonts, not the long list of fonts in your screenshot. This is baffling. Did you do something special to enable that?

2. You didn't address my inquiry about Helvetica Neue Light (which is the specific font I need to use at the moment).

I'm not seeing a "tiny, arbitrary subset of even the "stock" fonts"

1. Create a new note, and place the cursor in the body of the note (not the title).

2. At the upper-left, there's a fonts menu. (It probably bears the name of the currently selected font.)

3. Click it. What do you see?

Here's what I see:

That's what I call a tiny, arbitrary subset of even the "stock" fonts.

If other fonts are available, why isn't there, at the very least, a "More fonts" or "Show fonts" option in this menu? The absence of such is why I believed these were the only fonts available. But the plot thickens:

Although it's nice to know that the big Fonts window can be opened, surprise! Evernote actually ignores some of the shown fonts.

For example: Try to select Helvetica Neue Light, then let us know how that goes.

Ironically, if text in Helvetica Neue Light is pasted into Evernote, Evernote displays it. But if you select some text, then try to select Helvetica Neue Light, Evernote refuses.

Why?

Why does Evernote ignore the fonts that are installed on our Macs, forcing us to use only a tiny, arbitrary subset of even the "stock" fonts that are available to every other 3rd-party app?

I have been paying for Evernote for years. I have learned the following:

1. I never exceed the amount of data I would get in a free account
2. I am plagued by many unresolved issues - losing formatting, losing data, "stuck" notes, etc...
3. I am constantly being plagued by features I don't want (I don't think anyone in a clear state of mind would want), that I can't disable and that are making Evernote close to useless. Examples are:
   1. Presentation mode - I must have it activated as a demo feature for like 27th time! It has already been demoed to me and I have decided that it is a useless and not very thought through feature. Would you please stop annoying me with it?
   2. OCR of the uploaded pictures - when I search my evernote, I expect to get hits from the text I have written, not some BS the Evernote has decoded on one of my pictures. This makes searching for stuff even more complicated than before. This is a prime example of a "useless feature". I would understand switching it on manually for certain pictures. But trying to index every picture in my notebook is a plain nonsense that does not help anyone.
   3. All the other features nobody would touch with a bargepole. Chat? Are you feeling alright? Concierge? Why would I need it? If you have spent enough time working on core features, you wouldn't have me here complaining about nonsense you have added for no clear reason....

What he said.

This thread is approaching 2 years old (I started it), and we still don't even have the option to disable presentation mode.

I, too, have been paying for Evernote for years. The Mac client has years-old bugs that have never been fixed.

The developers clearly care nothing about what users want or need.

It's been nearly two years since I started this thread. Yet, not one change to tabs—a fundamental feature.

The Evernote team doesn't care about user requests nor does it care about fixing long-standing bugs.

But remember: They're raising prices!

Enjoy!
