Even more clicks to highlight something now

Even more clicks to highlight something now
notetakeingguy replied to notetakeingguy's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Yes, I meant that you have to hit More to get the highlight, so more clicks. -
I know everyone is raving about the new Evernote 10 interface, but now it is even more clicks to highlight something. I know the Android was this way (which is why I tried to keep them on v6 since I usually read with my Android tablet), but now disappointed that the Windows version is this way. So many more clicks to highlight. Evernote's new features are just slowing me and slowing me down. I think others have mentioned at length how Evernote v10 is slower, and how it takes longer to take and move notebooks.

notetakeingguy replied to idoc's topic in Evernote General Discussions
I'm getting the same error. I tried signing out of Evernote gmail, but I have not tried signing out of gmail. I don't like to forward emails to evernote as it messes up the graphics. Clipper encountered an error Unknown error occurred. EDAM_UNK-EDAM_UNK-{"msg":"method with the requested number of arguments not found (session may have timed out)","code":591} -

Evernote legacy ending on 2024-03-23
notetakeingguy replied to Alxa's topic in Evernote General Discussions
This is awful news. Android doesnt work for me at all. Can't search for things properly. Also, on my work PC, Evernote 10 doesnt work well. I've sent Frederico so many suggestions, but no progress. I need to make time to find a replacement. -
Appreciate all the help. I want to describe the problem I'm having (maybe I should post as a new post) since it happened today, on freshly created notes, all in Evernote v10, on my work computer. I had a Powerpoint presentation on my personal Dropbox that I need to take to work (kids stuff calendar so I can mark my work calendar). On my phone, from Dropbox, I shared it to my gmail, and E-mailed it to Evernote. I opened it in Evernote on my work computer, and it said it was unreadable and then deleted the attachment from the note. Instead, I opened up my E-mail and got it from there. I tried sending it again and tried to save it from Evernote onto my computer, but that didn't work. My wife also had something she wanted me to print. I had her put it in her Evernote 10, and share it with me in Evernote; 6 PDF files. I opened them up on my work computer, and it says it can't read any of them as it says "Couldn't display this PDF File". It won't let me save it the computer either. However, luckily the problem I posted about last week was temporary. I reinstalled Evernote 6.25 on my work and I was able to login. I pulled up the notes and the PDFs came right in. I posted about this 2 years ago, Nov 2021, and submitted a service ticket with the old EN management, and never heard anything. https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/139962-pdfs-say-couldnt-display-this-pdf-file-on-my-work-computer-only/

Just want to let everyone know I was able to install Evernote 10 on my work computer; however, the problems I had with it when it first came out (however many years ago) still remain. The main one being that some PDF attachments do not open. This is pretty critical at work when I attempt to open a document and it says the PDF is corrupted. Yet I go on my phone, old Evernote, and it opens up fine. So no fixes on that issue, despite the number of years. I'm going to try to re-install Evernote 6.25 again on my computer today, when I'm back at home.

First, appreciate all the responses. Just to clarity, I DO attempt to use v10 on my personal computer. I just find it harder. For example, when I do a search, it wants to search one notebook, and I want to search all. I also hate that most articles I clip are in this HTML view and I have to convert it. The version I am using is Evernote_6.25.1.9091. Do you think it would help if I uninstall and reinstall that version? If I go to the next legacy version, what is the exact version number? On FileHippo, I don't see anything after the one I have before v10.

I have Evernote 6.25 on both my work and personal computer, and also Evernote 10 on my personal computer. Today, my work computer wouldn't sync. I stupidely logged out and now can't get back in. My personal computer is working fine. I fear maybe my work added something, I don't know. Both computers are Windows 10. I hope tomorrow is better, otherwise I've lost Evernote on my work computer. Evernote 10 didn't work well on my work computer with attachments a year ago. And I prefer Evernote 6.25, as much as I try to use Evernote 10 on my personal computer.

Thanks everyone for the response. What I notice though is that it says the note or notebook has been downloaded offline, but when I go to open it, it says the note is unavailable. The notebook only has about 20 notes, all pretty simple notes. It did update pretty fast once it did the initial download. However, it says it is all downloaded, then I'm offline (which happens a lot since I'm in a foreign country) and try to open it, and it says not available, even though it shows the symbol has offline downloaded. I put in a support ticket but I got the standard response of restarting the system, etc, along with a different note about changes in their customer service.

I know this is an old post, but I'm experiencing this for the first time being that I'm out of the country and trying to use Evernote to read. Awful for my poor work phone. Luckily, my personal phone is still the old Evernote and works good. I had just wanted the new Evernote to change some of the colors of my highlighting.

I think they did it so less of us premium members will quit because we're so frustrated with the product. I have a support ticket I submitted months ago, and when I checked an update they said they were ready to implement a solution. But I have not heard anything. I think Evernote will have a huge hack, because that's what happens, karma wise, the companies that treat their customers so bad. I also sent a note to Frederico months ago about all the difficulties I've had with windows and Android. No response, and nothing has changed.

Thank you for helping me create a response that is more accurate/complete for the developers. I have edited my post and included a picture too. Some of the edits are also below: On #2, are you suggesting that if I converted to the new Evernote on all my devices, they may pull up faster? 2) Notes open faster (I've waited many minutes before, and when I need a note I need it NOW). For example, in Step 5 below, I had to open the note several times, and in one instance, I waited for 5 minutes to open, finally hitting the back key and trying to open it again. And it still won't open. Wow, I've been editing this post 15 minutes now wrestling with getting these notes with PDFs to open! 3) removed, it is possible (offline reading) 4) Fewer clicks to highlight text; that was a recent change and it is awful. I like to read and highlight articles on Evernote, and it is now taking too many clicks. To explain, first you have to click Edit, and lose 1/3 of the screen with the window. Then you have to click the format button (Aa). Then you have to click the highlight button. Each time you highlight. On legacy Evernote, you have to click Edit, you do lose 1/3, maybe 1/2 the screen, but the highlight button is there. 5) When I open the new Evernote on my Android, the Home screen appears to reflect notes for when it was not open, not the current state based on changes I made to my Evernote database on other devices. For example, it is showing Tasks that have already been completed, and showing as the most recent note, how it was when it was last opened. Only when I click on Notes does it start syncing Evernote with changes that had been made on other devices 6) Evernote Android only allows you to open a PDF in the Evernote native App. This is a huge restriction as I prefer to open PDFs in XoDo. There have been threads about it, see here: here (1) here (2) I do see an Export, so maybe it is just more clicks? 7) Evernote Android sometimes can't even load the attachment. In trying out #6, I had one note that I uploaded yesterday where it says "Couldn't load attachment." Wow, a second one too. And I just opened them in legacy Desktop PC and Evernote 10 Desktop PC and the attachment pulls up fine. See picture showing it open in Acrobat on my computer (from Evernote) and can't open on the Android. I added a video here, if it works, though at the end when I show my computer, sorry that I flipper from portrait to landscape. PXL_20230730_135201452.TS.mp4

I was opening Evernote on my personal phone today and I saw a blue bar asking me if I could complete a 1 minute survey about why I am still using an older version. However, when I clicked it, it said the webpage could not be found. I tried multiple times. I also had a different device (my tablet) and the same thing happened. This is my way to communicate what would have been written in the survey. I use the old Evernote on my personal Android phone Evernote and my personal tablet. I use the new version of Evernote on my work phone. I prefer the older version because: 1) searches are much faster, and work 2) Notes open faster (I've waited many minutes before, and when I need a note I need it NOW). For example, in Step 5 below, I had to open the note several times, and in one instance, I waited for 5 minutes to open, finally hitting the back key and trying to open it again.

So here I am, editing this post to explain it more detail, and pulling up Evernote, and I'm already 8 minutes in trying to get the example notes to pull up in Evernote
