  1. Not so fast..my version has been toggling between 10.68.2 and 10.71.2 (installed on 01/12). This morning, it went back to 10.68.2. It isn't causing me issues, but this certainly is interesting behavior.
  2. I'm familiar. I get the focus on modernizing and stabilizing the framework. No disagreement there. And, I'm not advocating for a feature factory but AI is not high on 'my' small list of features. I understand that implementing AI in various forms is necessity to be competitive, but I'm hoping that the resources devoted to it don't detract from other worthwhile endeavors (preferably the ones on my personal Evernote Roadmap, e.g. hide unassigned tags) I could live for a whole year without a new feature if "hiding unassigned tags" returned (I know...don't hold your breath). As far as I can tell from my limited testing of AI search...it has a long way to go. I keep trying, and it keeps disappointing. It seems to have specific questions that work well, and if the question diverges too far, it fails. I'm sure they'll get there.
  3. I know that it's the 'thing' today, but I really hope that it isn't 'THE THING.' I'm not going anywhere but a new or returned feature would be nice every once in a while Say, improved tag management or another mundane function that existed in Legacy. Just a couple here and there...
  4. Yeah, that's what I thought too—probably the index. I just hate when odd stuff like this crops up. I used to do that process once in a while, and I specifically purchased Revo for that purpose. I haven't done it for a while, so there is a good chance that you've nailed the issue and the solution. Thanks for the advice.
  5. This morning I ran across one exact string that wouldn't return results until I truncated it to 12 characters. This didn't return anything: UI_RE_GEN_STU_FULL_TERM_FREEZE. There are several notes with this string. This truncated piece UI_RE_GEN_STU returned the notes. I thought it might be the underscores, but this similar UI_RE_GEN_STUDENT_FREEZE string returns notes just fine. Gremlins. This isn't a big deal when you know the term is there, but if you're searching for something less obvious, it doesn't instill confidence. Perhaps I'm missing something.
  6. It's not just affecting one person. It's happened to me a few times now, including with the newest version. I've also seen numerous threads referring to content loss. There is no doubt they're working on it, but it's disconcerting. To this point, as far as I know, I haven't lost much other than time, but this isn't a missing Legacy feature or an annoyance. Note integrity is critical. If it happens just enough times to feel like you can't trust the software...well... I know you have been using EN for a long time and so have I; do you ever recall losing content? Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me, but I don't ever recall it.
  7. Lost two notes in the last hour. The content just disappeared. In fourteen or fifteen years I've never encountered that. History was of no use. Ironically the update download icon was displaying. I'm now on 10.58.8 and hoping this is the first and last time for that behavior. This is significantly more critical than the lack of Legacy features.
  8. I just lost three notes from the last hour. I have been using Evernote for about 15 years and I have never seen that behavior. For the love. I'm generally circumspect, but this is a problem. AI clean-up and other niche features aren't much use if an hour's worth of work is wiped.
  9. And it's long-time success... This is 14 years or longer of continuous daily use for me. I can't think of many (any) applications I have used longer: perhaps Excel and Word. Even at that, Excel is the only one close in frequency. Use anything daily for 14 years, and you're bound to develop some deeply engrained habits
  10. I certainly understand your perspective and don't disagree. I use identifiers in most of my notes, in fact, I used the exact format you do for individual identifiers. I write queries for a living, so I get search. And if I want to surface one or two notes, that works. However, most often, when I search, I don't want to find one specific note, I want to find groups of notes related to various individual topics. And, the way "my mind" works (or doesn't), that topic name might not be immediately clear. I would admit there are likely thousands of better methods developed by smarter people than me, but mine works, and it 'seems' fairly efficient to me, so...you know . Isn't this the paradox of Evernote, it allows users all sorts of flexibility to develop different workflows, but when a long-used feature disappears, it can cause momentary (or clearly longer) chaos for individuals.
  11. I don't 'change' tags all that frequently, but I do add a number to each note and often in series. My thought process is always, 'How will the future me search and find this?' That definitely takes thought and time upfront. I imagine most long-time users that have used various features in Evernote for years have developed very individualized and idiosyncratic practices that are now baked in both in to mind and in structure.
  12. As MvdH said, the first way is handicapped if you have hundreds of tags or have them nested in folders (or both like I have). However, I did not know that they could be copied. It's not as quick as the previous method, but copying them could work. Thank you. I'm one step closer to conversion . Thanks again to both of you.
  13. I am right there with you. I'm closing in on 19K in notes and probably a like or larger number of tags. I have probably spent more time in Evernote than any other program I use, except possibly Chrome. This is one of two issues that keeps me on Legacy. I use tags extensively, and the process is much slower to the point of being painful. I'm used to adding multiple related notes in batch, tagging one, and using it with "Hide Unassigned Tags." Maybe I'm missing something (always a possibility), but I can't even select multiple notes and assign tags in batch. It's basically, one note at a time. The dialog is useless for checking off tags if you have more than a few. All of my tags are nested in folders. Fix that, and add the ability to set a global font, and I'm all in for v10. It'd be swell if they've moved search and tags back to their previous locations, but that'd just be icing.
  14. I have both v10 and Legacy installed. I don't need much to complete the move and would do so if forced, but why would I? I don't find the new features as valuable as my favorite example in Legacy, "Hide Unassigned Tags," which I use daily. I understand I'm on borrowed time; I understand why v10 was inevitable; I understand the nudges; I get it. And, I fire up v10 every so often and check whether they've added any new and absolutely extraordinary features or better "Hide Unassigned Tags," and such.
  15. I have them both setup and working together fine. I've given v10 several tries, but there are a few things I find annoying. I don't doubt they are just my idiosyncrasies. Could I switch over, sure, when a couple of older features are added (good luck...I know), or they turn off the switch on legacy. I don't find the new version bad; it's just that the new features/structure don't offset the annoyances (to me...and maybe only me). I'm not going anywhere, I've been using EN since 2009 and don't see that changing. Old, new, it's still a great program. I use it for storing bits and pieces and scripts and such, but Obsidian for thoughts and research. Perhaps that is why the new features in v10 just aren't as important as, say, being able to tag multiple notes based on one. Legacy can do that (Hide Unassigned Tags), v10 can't, and I use that feature multiple times, single every day. Trying to do the same thing in v10 is time-consuming. If you have a workaround for that, maybe I'll fully convert
