  1. I wrote Support yesterday to confirm this was on their radar (since a few minor releases have been made since the issue first appeared). They confirmed they are aware of this issue and it is being worked on. I assume it must be more complicated than a simple regression. Looking forward to a fix! I will never, ever take indentation for granted again.
  2. Dang - ok, sounds too complicated then. I just need Evernote to issue a rapid fix for this indentation issue. I didn't realize how much the lack of indentation interrupts my work flow / train of thought!
  3. Thanks for the info! I can avoid restarting the app (in fact, I almost never restart it unless prompted). What I am having trouble with is finding an installer for the previous version 10.67.1. Any suggestions on where I can find these older installers?
  4. Is there an easy way to rollback the update / install the previous version? I searched but couldn't find anything (most articles were about reinstalling Legacy).
  5. Just tried out the early access for Tasks - love it! No longer need my old, custom reminders flow. Switched to v10 permanently.
  6. Finally switched permanently to the new Evernote (the Tasks Early Access pushed me over the edge!). However - now the custom header styles is bugging me again Once I update the header styles in a note, I'd love those styles to persist between notes. Instead - my custom styles apply within a single note only. Is there a way to update the default header styles for all notes?
  7. Sorting saved searches by reminder date is the only feature left preventing me from switching to v10 (which I'd like to do, given some of the new features). Bumping this request to the top again!

  9. In v7.14, the reminder dates are pretty-printed (e.g. Today, Tomorrow, Mon mm/dd, etc.). Makes reminders much easier to use! If some people don't want pretty-printing - it can be a function of the size of the column. E.g. fully expanded "Reminder Time" column shows date and time; shortened column hides time and instead shows the pretty-printed date (e.g. Today, Tomorrow, etc.).
  10. Yay for Top View! I'm almost ready to switch to v10 - but out of the suggested reminder-related feature requests in this post, need 2 of them before I can formally switch: Just thought I'd bump up this thread in the off chance a Product Manager at Evernote sees this and wants to give this XmasMonkey a great Xmas gift.
  11. You can't in Evernote v10.x (yet). It's listed as coming soon. Until then - you can keep using Evernote v7.1.4.
  12. I don't think it is a new feature - it is a new foundation. The Evernote Team internally seems to call v10 "the starting line" as I suspected.
  13. That might be 100% true, and Evernote might lose a bunch of users because of the delay in getting out a v10 that satisfies enough user needs to create a long-term viable business. It could even be the end of their business if the delay proves to have been too long. I really hope this is not true, as I have been a long-time Evernote user and still prefer it - imperfections and all - to alternatives I've seen. v10 isn't good enough for me at the moment, but I really appreciate I'm able to run v7 in parallel. I don't want to be running v7 forever of course, because at some point it will go away / get too old (and I love the multi-highlighter colors in v10). So I'm focused on boosting signal in these forums for those features I really want to see make v10, and hoping performance and other issues can be worked out with incremental, faster updates moving forward (now that they are working off a generally unified codebase). We'll see if v10 succeeds, but I'm rooting for its success.
  14. It sounds simple in theory, but it rarely works out that way in practice. I don't know Evernote's numbers - but I can tell you that for every dollar more you charge, you typically churn more paying users and reduce freemium conversions than you do retain users or attract new business. I suspect raising prices on existing users during a period where Evernote knows quality and pace of innovation has suffered on the existing platform would be more harmful than helpful at this point. Let's assume you run Evernote. Your data says you can't raise prices at the moment without significantly risking the revenue stream you need to fund the next-gen platform. Dropping platforms is one way to solve this. Which platform would you drop? Serious question. It seems like the Evernote team has chosen to create a single web-native platform, and to use Electron as a way to extend support to multiple surfaces (Android, iOS, Windows, Mac). Is Electron perfect? Definitely not. But if they start from this foundation - they can optimize it over time per-platform, but 80-90% of their development efforts on the web-native platform will be reusable in all of these platforms. That means faster bug fixes, faster pace of innovation, and more consistency cross-platform. But it comes with very real trade-offs, both short-term (e.g. performance) and long-term (e.g. things you can do as a native app well - like notifications - that you can't as a wrapped app). I don't know if Electron is going to be the winning choice in the end - but I understand why they chose it, and I am rooting for the Evernote team to mitigate the disadvantages and amplify the strengths of their choice.
  15. Was going to say the same thing. Here's some of the data I would look at: What % of searches (in search bar, clicking on a tag, etc.) make use of tags to filter the query? What % of users who had tags created later remove tags? (signal on ongoing feature utility) What % of users who create a tag in week 1 of installing Evernote come back in week 2? (i.e. impact of tags on product retention) What % of free accounts that convert to premium have tags created? What % of paying users have tags created? What % of 7-day active paying users have tags created? What % of premium accounts that renews in the past 24 months have tags created? There is a ton more ways to slice the data - e.g. classifying users into casual, intermediate, and power users based on activities / activity level and then seeing how much tag usage correlates with each classification, etc. Finally - to top it all off - there are also some features that are just foundational to the product that you can't leave out, or you might get an unexpected signal boost in importance through feedback from users in forums, etc. One hopes that the Evernote team looks at all these quantitative and qualitative data points together to help drive product and prioritization decisions. I personally think concepts like "tags" and "notebooks" fall under the foundational concept of Evernote (organizing your notes). So I doubt they would ever be cut (but if they were - I'd personally have to find another solution). But I think about something like Top View. It was cut from Evernote's last big update a few years ago, I think based on low usage. Many of the people on this forum (myself included) really pushed hard for it to be restored, and an Evernote employee took notice and engaged with the forum on better helping to articulate the value of the feature despite stats showing low usage. We made a compelling case that not being able to see a note full-width had a real negative impact on a whole class of users (those working on smaller screens). Evernote eventually brought it back - and though it isn't in v10 yet (so I continue to use v7 myself), the Evernote team proactively mentioned it is coming given the signal boost they received years ago on its importance.
