  1. The request to control which image is shown in a note's thumbnail/snippet view is open and unfulfilled since nearly 13 years (see for example following link). So opening a new thread and reporting issues with control over thumbnails likely wont't change anything. At least I wouldn't have to much faith in support to "just fix this".

    During the last decade EN has changed in many ways. This includes the hidden logic and algorythms how EN treads and changes thumbnails.

    It is reported that there had been a rather complicated algorythm how EN legacy managed thumkbnails, depending on size and extensions. Since we have EN 10 wich is now another couple of years ist seems like the first attachment wich is added to an note is chosen as thumbnail. This may lead to not wanted thumbnails oder grey block as placeholder.

    As thumbnails seems to be locally and separatly saved in specific databases handling fof thumbails may differ on workstation, os or mobile. And last but not least: these local thumbnail-images seem to be saved and displayed on windows or mac apps as long as there is at least one attachement left.

    The only workaround with existing note for changing thumbnails I know, is
    1. remove and save all attachements locally
    2. wait until note is fully synced with EN-servers and thumbnail finally is deleted and removed from note and
    3. upload wanted image for thumbnail first 
    4. wait until new thumbnail is saved and synced
    5. upload all other remaining images and attachements.

    Alltogether no solution für often and daily use...

    There may be many reasons why this isn't "just fixed" oder implemented. Cache- and database-handling may be very complicated. Additionally there may be need for a separate thumbnail-administration, including separate note history and restoring and so on. May be to much to do for onlay a part of users be on top-level of developement, still in these days...

  2. O.k  welcome to the club. Couple of people where searching and asking for alternatives to EN Legacy since V10 came out, which is now years ago.

    Answers are different and very much depending on individual use cases, but obviously there is no 1:1 replacement for all Legacy-features. (which by the way are you missing?)

    And there seems to be a big group counting EN 10 to best alternative for Legacy, including me, …

    Which makes it a pretty stupid file storage.

    But basing on local data Legacy probably may still be a pretty intelligent solution for fast access to older notes or date and for export / migration. 

    So as CalS said...

    unless BS drops a bomb into existing legacy users

    Legacy might be freezed in but should still be usable for these purposes. But without any doubt: Using Evernote for notetaking pkm etc. will better be done with EN 10.

    It will stop syncing at some point which kind of defeats the purpose.  

    yepp - but for those who want to export their notes and migrate to other services EN Legacy and Legacy export functions may still be of some use for most of their notes for a certain time even without update by sync.

    Anyone else having same issue

    Same issue in my case.

    EN-web-clipper used to offer special option "clip email(s) to Evernote". Emails would be clipped as HTML-Web-Clip including all attachements.

    Today ist the first time I realized that this feature seams to be broken in EN-web-clipper. No option to "clip email(s) to Evernote". Only standard options für ordinary web-pages. These Clippings don't include attachements (they just clip small preview pic for each attachements and links to gmail for each attachement).

    Since I use this quite regulary it must be a fresh bug.

    (Workaround may be: forward email do EN-email-address oder use additional EN-integration fpr gmail, which needs granted access to EN for 12 months)

  6. I assume this issue oder question is related to this longterm issue / feature-request regarding thumbnail-selection:

     

    The rotated, wrong orientated thumbnail wich initially and automatically was selected by EN doesn't update, when the source-file in note body file is edited. (There might be a thumbnail-copy stored deep in the cache-system for header data. This probably is one reason for not delivering this long asked feature...) 

    As result the picture will not be updated and replaced as long as there is any possible-to-display attachement left.

    As solution try saving all pics or pdf temorarily, delete pics and pdf from note, wait until server has synced (and removed thumbnail) and apply media in order to display.
    -- I know this is not a "solution" for daily use, but looking for the above mentioned long time request I wouldn't count on a nother  near solution.

    Does this dumpster fire of a forum have any admins? It’s like the failures run rampant for everything attached to this app 🤣

    Could it be that your personal "better working EN-Alternative" is out of service or so boring that you come by here for trolling, insulting and spreading poison and bad vibes in several threads instead of contributing worthful content and helpful advice?
