In previous versions, you could use the evernote helper (the icon in the toolbar -- if that's what it's called) to seamlessly take notes quickly without being kicked out of the current maximized screen. In the new version (running 10.5.7), as soon as you click the icon to start to take a new note (to do something like take notes during a meeting, or try to screenshot something from a meeting...) the helper immediately minimizes the window you are in... rendering the screenshot tool totally worthless, and preventing you from being able to take notes during a meeting when you are trying to stay on the same screen as something like a zoom call. Please fix this. This was an invaluable tool to be able to quickly pop up a mini notepad to take notes, and then to save it to evernote. Now it's totally worthless in the new iteration.
This previous feature was, in my opinion, the greatest benefit of the evernote suite. After years of using Evernote, many as a premium subscriber, I'm researching other note tools as this tool is totally worthless without the ability to pop up and not disrupt my currently screens.
Can I put evernote side by side with my current screen? YES, BUT the squashed interface with tons of columns that can't be minimized makes it a huge space hog where I can't even see the notes I am taking in a helpful way.
Not sure who's idea it was to gut the toolbar, but it's ruined the experience.
