  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

    Sorry, this is only true if the note has not been modified in EN-10. If it is modified (anywhere else - not around the link!) and it is synced back to the cloud, the link is removed.

    This is completely unacceptable because it secretly changes the content of my note.

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

    It has been well documented in this forum and was raised way back in the preview and beta stages. We have no indication as to whether it is something that EN plan or do not plan to reinstate. If I was a betting man I would say that as it is a Windows specific issue it is unlikely to be reinstated anytime soon as the drive is to make the app as similar as possible on different operating systems.

    The workaround will not help with current links and is probably not as convenient for most people. In Windows create a windows shortcut to the file or folder you want to link to. Then simply attach the shortcut to your note. Any attachments demand a line of their own so you will not be able to have the link inline. You can put the attachment in a table which may help.

    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.

  6. 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).

  7. 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.

  8. 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?

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. To me this is one of my top issues with version 10. I know of two workarounds:

    1. Use the legacy app as it still allows for more granular times (down to the second)
      • Version 10 & Legacy can coexist on a PC
    2. Use the iOS app as it also allows for more granular times (down to the minute) 
    3. I suspect the Android app mimics the iOS behavior but can't check it out.

    Hope this helps.
