  1. Thanks for the heads up on the new version, tauAlphaC. I installed 6.17.4.8270 just now. For me at least, the problem is gone! Interesting that it doesn't list this issue in the release notes. 😕
  2. I can come up with more: Wear and tear on my laptop's fans, and an increased volume of air taken into my laptop's innards means quicker accumulation of dust inside, which will necessitate more frequent cleaning, if these parts can be accessed at all. Evernote has said that they prefer to be notified of problems here, on the forum, yet Evernote often ignores threads, like this one, that seem to communicate a genuine issue. Weeks ago I tried to bring this up with Evernote "support," but they responded as if this issue was unique to me. I got nowhere.
  3. I too have this issue, and all auto sync options are turned off here too. The issue started a few weeks ago when I upgraded to 6.15.3.something, and continuing to 6.15.4.7934, which EN says is the latest as of this moment. In my case, the high CPU usage depends on the size of the note displayed in the note pane. If the note is small, a few lines of text or just one visible page of stuff, the CPU usage is very low and would have never attracted my attention. But on notes that are very large, say tens of MB in size and many vertical scrolling pages long, if displayed in the pane they cause EN to continuously consume 20-30% CPU on my i7-8550U CPU & 16GB RAM laptop. The fans get loud. As a workaround, I put a shortcut to a tiny note in that upper row where favorites can go. I click that note whenever I'm not using EN for a specific task. I started a support ticket on this a couple weeks ago, after once again laboring to find the entry point to the well-hidden support process. I got a reply quickly, asking me the routine drag-me-through-the-mud "support" steps (like try reinstalling, send activity log). I started with this, but failed to answer an email within 48 hours so my ticket was closed. (That's a great way to make support even more unpleasant, and reduce the number of support requests received.) I have not yet returned to this issue with EN support. Anyway, I notice that on a second PC, a desktop with an i7-7700T CPU & 16GB RAM that's running the same EN version, there is no increase in CPU usage when a large note is viewed. So this problem is reserved for my laptop, with its particular hardware configuration.
  4. I have several questions and comments about this forum in general. I can't post in the Community Announcements. Right here, Evernote General Discussions, seems to be the least-bad place to post. Have I missed a better place?
  5. I upgraded and have been annoyed by the wide side margins. So, to the forum I go to see if others share my concern. They do! And here I am! I figure that the best way to properly inform Evernote of the seriousness of this issue is to join others who have created a trouble ticket about it. But I find that Evernote seems to have scrubbed their app, their website, and the web app of any references to support. Eventually (I've been at this for at least a half hour) I find help.evernote.support, answer a bunch of questions reminiscent of navigating through one of those IVR phone systems that companies that really don't want to hear from their customers have, and end up at a support page. (Here: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=176627 ) Then more questions, which I answer honestly, saying that my topic is general product feedback. The response from the page is "The best way to share your feedback is by posting in the Evernote Forums. The forums are actively monitored by our product and support teams, and allow you to discuss your feedback in more detail." So, here I am, again. I choose not to be disingenuous to get a support ticket. For the product and support teams which actively monitor the forums and are reading this: I hate the wide margins. It's to accommodate the new table UI? That's just one element in a note, one which appears only if there's a table. I don't see why all text has to shift just because of a table. Go back to your developers, have them make tables independent of the text, and fix the margins! Maybe it's a little bit harder, but do it please.
  6. When I create a new note I want the option, in the Mac client, to (1) put my typing cursor in the note body and (2) auto-fill the note title with the first line of note body text. I'm not asking for this to be default behavior; I just want it to be a Preferences option. You (EN devs) already know how to do this - the Windows client (maybe others too) already does it. And you (EN devs) even do it already for Mac, in notes created with the EN Helper menu icon. (But that's not a good enough workaround.) And I know there have been many other requests for this functionality - I searched the forum. But as far as I can tell there hasn't been a request yet this year. So here's 2015's request. Why not just go ahead and implement it in 6.0.7?
