  1. The best way to get rid of hoover-popups would be to instead have the UI adjust to fit the lenght of names in most cases, so that the full names can be displayed at once. After recently moving from Legacy to v10, I now have to constantly live in this mouse over-popup land to be able to see my metadata..
  2. Moving from Legacy to v10 and I can no longer see my metadata... Hopefully a revamped UI will fix this.
  3. When Ctrl+Q was implemented (Legacy) it was for instantly jumping to a specific notebook, tag or saved search, as there was no delay in search. If you wanted to search for a note title or note content you used regular search, which could also be accessed through Ctrl+Q similar to today (search for X in notes and list of recent searches). When Ctrl+Q started showing notes as well in v10, the results were limited to just 10+ random results. I guess the search would be too demanding if all related notes were found - and if not I would strongly prefer a scrollable list. I still very much prefer the old way as I use Ctrl+Q for finding tags 90% of the times. Too bad there is no customization in settings.. Also, Alt+F5 would provide you with a similar searchable pop-up list for just your shortcuts in the order of your choice, which was by far the quickest way to get to your most used and/or important notes, tags, notebooks and saved searches.
  4. I respectfully disagree, depending on the information provided. There is a reason why exit interviews can be valuable. Just let them vent, and leave them be. Complaining about people complaining is just adding fuel to the fire.
  5. My guess is that it's related to that Legacy let you choose any font on your system.
  6. Sounds like you are referring to the "Scroll left panel item into view when the item is selected"-feature (third option under the Navigation panel in Options in Legacy). Super useful feature that provided great context of related tags etc., that has yet to be carried over to v10 and I doubt it will unfortunately..
  7. Yeah, but why doesn't that single tap allow for "unlock editing", instead of "break formatting by simplifying formatting" (aka "simplify formatting)?
  8. Are you in some way trying to track what different "features" in Legacy that may keep Legacy users from switching, if that is interesting to you? I, like someone wrote earlier, would like to switch to a newer version more than anything else - but a few things that have a huge impact keeps me from switching. And it's not really about having to "change existing workflows", which seems to be the buzzwords that keeps popping up in this discussion. I have no problem making even major changes to my workflow, to adapt to a new or revised software. It's all about functionality, or more specifically lack thereof. Like, why is the shiny new v10 created as if I was sitting on a 22" 1280x720 monitor back in 2005? Legacy is wonderful on a 4k screen, where the software adapts or can be adapted to the screen real estate. I never once have to hoover over text to read full text, as Legacy either adjusts to text length itself (as with Ctrl+Q on Windows, which also instantly gives you a scrollable complete list of all search results with no limitation) or I can drag and move dividers everywhere in different parts of the software, to display the full text. I guess that the reason is that the desktop version has been affected by some sort of smartphone/tablet-first approach, but why does that mean that when I try to make the left panel larger by dragging and moving the divider, the divider lets me make it a bit larger but then just stops 1/4 into the screen with no possibility to drag it any further? And since I can edit web clipped notes clipped using v10 inside Legacy, without destroying/removing/simplyfing formatting, why can't I have the option to do the same in v10? 😔
  9. +1, still biggest issue with v10 for me. There is plenty of screen estate and hopefully these popout windows can automatically adapt to the maximum text length soon just like on older versions and those with shorter names will not be affected at all. Been using such a system for 10+ years and its super useful. When you reach 40.000 notes, like myself, a hierarchy like the one you suggests Diagnosis - Cancer - Cervical will just return hundreds and possibly thousands of notes. The search function is plenty enough to help find notes containing "cervical". It must be so much more specific, without requiring to browse for long
  10. I meant to post it in the Android section, so I moved it. Could be more of a general question as well though. I agree that Evernote is going "light" in a sense with V10, but it's not intentional though as they are phasing out the legacy versions and are now adding new features to V10 without fixing its issues with speed and reliability first. A real "light" version would be V10 without any speed and reliability issues and therefore a few less features, placed alongside a main app developed with the senior Evernote power users in mind instead. To me, it sounds like you are not happy with the "light" version being the main app and that your "no" answer should be one of the other two options.
  11. Could it be that the idea of power user functionality, that has made Evernote what it is, clashes with the idea of streamlining the development across all platforms and making the product more inviting to newbies so the number of subscribers can grow? But couldn't these two both be cared for by releasing a secondary, more simple, "light" version, that would require little to no continuous development costs and that would always be reliable in terms of speed and functionality? I am using the legacy versions for power user functionality today. I would gladly use a new "Light" version on the side, with less functionality at times, and it would probably suit the newbies a lot more than the version out today. The main problem is that the new versions are more "light" but neither reliable nor speedy, and that the development of the more powerful (and still more reliable) legacy versions has stopped. This is quite clearly reflected in the constant line of one star reviews for the app in the Google Play store. Initially I bought the statement that the new app platform would allow for a much quicker way of implementing new features. However, the much requested return of the Ctrl+Q(Win) and Cmd+J(Mac) feature has been listed in the release notes as coming "soon" for at least 6 months, which makes me doubt that the new platform is all that easy to work with.
  12. I am using a floating keyboard and can't get the editor toolbar to show. I have to switch back to the docked toolbar to get it to display above the keyboard. There has to be someway to make it show at the bottom of the screen when the keyboard is floating. Also, does anyone know a way to highlight words without having to click the highlighter and then proceed to choose a color every single time?
  13. Search results text is truncated and display a limited number of results, left panel text is truncated, note list note titles are truncated, tag names are truncated etc.. Please make the UI customizable/adaptive to the lenght of the names of the meta data. This especially concerns the left panel and the pop-out Tags window which should both be manually expandable to cover the whole screen.
