  1. I would call that a stop gap measure rather than a fix since we have been given no indication by EN of whether the Legacy version will continue to operate on Windows or, even if it does, how long it will be supported. We can also safety assume that it won't be enhanced from it's current state. What's more, we also don't know whether some of the features of Legacy such as the ability to right click/save from Outlook will ever be implemented in V10 or later because no road map has been provided. The reality is that I and many others, are being moved away from a feature rich Windows version to two separate versions with no clear future for either. There is no clear path at all for those dissatisfied with V10. I can understand EN's desire to get to a common base BUT doing so at the expense of critical functionality is just crazy.
  2. A week or two ago, I received my annual subscription renewal notice from Evernote which prompted me to revaluate the situation with this disastrous new Windows version. I had already reverted back to the legacy version some months ago due to the removal of some important features (to me) such as the right click and save from Microsoft Outlook. I have no confidence in that feature or others ever being reintroduced into the Windows version nor do I have confidence that the legacy version will continue to be supported so I embarked upon a trial migration to Microsoft Onenote (which I already had as part of my Office 365 subscription). The Onenote import tool did a good job of importing the Evernote data and, after a couple of hours of learning the Onenote structures and reorganizing my notes, I commenced a two week period of using both Evernote and Onenote. Largely due to the removal of the Outlook right click save option, I have now let my Evernote subscription expire yesterday and will be moving exclusively to Onenote over the next 1-2 weeks. It's extremely disappointing to me that, after so many years of using Evernote, I am forced to make that change but this latest version of Evernote has simply taken too much of a backwards step for me to continue with it.
  3. For me, Evernote V10 is one of the most disappointing updates that I have ever made to any software. . It takes ages to startup compared to previous versions . There’s no “sync” button so there’s always some uncertainty about whether everything is up to date . The clip option has been removed from Outlook (for me, this was by far the most common source of Evernote content) . I find it much more difficult to navigate than previous versions . The editor may be better but, in my case, I rarely enter or update documents using the editor ( I primarily use Evernote for saving emails and other existing documents). I really don’t understand the marketing strategy that would convince the Evernote developers to go down this latest, very backward, set of modifications. Edit. Like many others in this forum, Version 10 just became too difficult to use so I have now reverted back to Version 6.25.2.9198. It's a real indictment on the developers of any product when you have to go back a level of software to actually gain features.
