Hmm, I updated Evernote on my iPad to see if the current iOS version duplicated properly. Sadly, no go. It wasn't going to be an important thing anyway as I primarily use Evernote on my Windows machine.

Mike, thanks for the pointer. I was able to download and install 10.76.2. I repeated my prior tests and sadly the results were the same. Here's a couple of screenshots to illustrate the problem. The first screenshot is of a note with the Normal Text set to 24-point font and Normal text having been updated to match. I save it as a template. The second screenshot shows the result when I apply the template to a new note. The third screenshot shows the result when I use the duplicate note feature. Sigh, still not working.

I am running Windows version 10.75.2 It appears to be the current version available to me. I created a note, added the text lorem ipsum, set the Normal Text to my desired font size, updated normal to match, and saved it as a template. When I created a new note and selected the template the note was in the hardwired default font. I also tried the same process without saving it as a template. When I duplicated that note, the duplicate was in the hardwired default font. ARRGH! Why am I reminded of the Henry Ford quote about car color, "You can have any color you want as long as it is black." It feels very USER UNFRIENDLY to have to reconfigure every new note to the desired font size.

Has anyone figured out how to alter the Normal Text Default from Sans Serif 16 to another font size? On both the Windows desktop app and the iOS app there does not appear to be a way to do so. Thanks.

For years I have used an excellent Windows Print Preview Program, FinePrint. In the past when I hit Ctrl+P in an Evernote note, the result went straight to FinePrint. Now Evernote insists on bringing up its print preview function. In the release notes it states: fallback to the old way of printing in More Settings > Print using system dialog I can do this, but Evernote does not remember that I did so. As a result, the next time I go to print, the Evernote print preview again comes up.

Has anyone found a way to permanently disable the Print Preview function? The only way to access More Settings that I have found is from the Print Preview dialog box. Unfortunately, Evernote does not remember this setting. It has to be disabled every time you print 😒

Thanks for the update. I see the same behavior on my system. Agreed, this is unacceptable!

This is a nice solution listed by MikeP. I have used it in concert with what I consider a "normal" file link in Legacy. Behind the scenes in Legacy, I create link just below the illustration above that looks like this: file:///C:/Users/username/documents/example.docx. You can create a link highlighting any word, words or even a random group of characters. Here's a sample. I type in the phrase "example Word document". Then I highlight that phrase, right click, click on Hyperlink, select Add and type in the path as shown in the prior paragraph and click OK. The note now has the following link: example Word document When I view the note in V10 it looks like: example Word document At this point when I close V10 and open the note in Legacy it still is a link and looks like: example Word document Hope this helps.

The behavior seems to have changed. I restored all the erased links in the note where they were removed. I had the same link in another note, and it was not impacted. I did not access that note from version 10. I ran a test in Legacy where I duplicated a note and then moved the duplicate to a different notebook. I opened the test note in version 10 and in iOS. It did not lose the blue color but did not show as a link in iOS or version 10. I closed version ten and examined the test note in Legacy and the link was there and functional. Like others who have commented here I wish there could be a file linking capability in version 10. I would be willing to embed multiple links unique to the two platforms I use (Windows & iOS).

Thanks for the Windows shortcut example. I was using it previously but discovered how to make file links look and behave like URL and internal links. I don't believe this is a Windows issue as the file links work properly in the Legacy version of Evernote. After the links were converted to text only, I was able to reinstate them using the Legacy version. My concern here is that version 10.9.10 is the first version 10 release to actually modify content in a note by deleting the file link information.

I've been bouncing back and forth between version 10 and Legacy. Just when I thought version 10 was stable enough to use it full time a major defect has come up. I have links to files on my PC embedded in several notes. After upgrading to 10.9.10 all file links were lost. The link would be blue and look like: Exercise Log. After accessing the note in 10.9.10 it would look like: Exercise Log. The label would be there, but it was no longer a link. Links to URLs and internal note links were unaffected. Has anyone else observed this behavior?

Good news! The version just released today Jan 29 fixes the problem, at least for me it does.

CalS, thanks for your reply. I used the process you suggested and got my results. I came up with another way as well that didn't involve reminders. I created a stored search like this: any: -tag:"3-30+ minutes" -tag:"3-10-30 minutes" and used the filter dropdown to add AND filters. This only works the five filter categories in version 10 (Tags, Located in, Contains, Created, Updated). It reminded me of my SQL coding days from more years ago than I care to remember.

I'm trying to figure out how to combine two searches into a single complex one. The first search shows me all notes with reminders for today: reminderTime:day -reminderTime:day+1 The second search shows me all notes with either of two tags: any: tag:"3-30+ minutes" tag:"3-10-30 minutes" Thanks for any suggestions.

Woo-hoo. The latest release (10.6.9) allows for adding words to the dictionary.

Woo-hoo. Fixed in the latest release 10.6.9

Thanks for the note DougInNC. That slipped right past me. It is an excellent improvement.

I did a quick test with two new notes. You are correct. The order in EN 10 is order added. The order in Legacy was alphabetical for the same two notes. I too use special characters to place the key tags at the top. I have over 11,000 notes; not about to go back and re-tag them. Hope this gets addressed.

The tags across the bottom appeared in alphabetic order in the Legacy version. They now appear to be in random order. I use tags extensively and have generated my tags in a way that makes it easy to maintain on notes with multiple tags. Am I missing something here?

External file links, web page links and internal links used to go to the link directly. Now the default action when left-clicking on a link is to bring an edit dialog. You must click on the three dots to Open the link. I propose that the default left-click behavior should be to Open the link. If I want to Edit or Unlink I can right-click on the link.

Thanks Jack, that’s encouraging to know.

To me this is one of my top issues with version 10. I know of two workarounds: Use the legacy app as it still allows for more granular times (down to the second) Version 10 & Legacy can coexist on a PC Use the iOS app as it also allows for more granular times (down to the minute) I suspect the Android app mimics the iOS behavior but can't check it out. Hope this helps.

There is a certain bit of irony in that I can't even add Evernote to the dictionary. This does not bode well.
