Spell check seems to be fixed for me in 6.15. But I need to re-add all my words ?

Where is the dictionary file stored in 6.15?

To answer my own question. The dictionary file is stored: C:\Users\<<USER NAME>>\Evernote\LocalStorage\Custom Dictionary.txt

Sadly, you no longer can edit words into the text file. Some goofball of a programmer added a checksum_v1 to the file. Wonderful.

Now I will have to add one-by-one all my words after Evernote forgot them for the 10th time.

Below is Evernote's support's feedback for my reporting of note formatting bugs. I guess it is wait-and-see now.

The issue you're experiencing is one that our development team is currently aware of and are hoping to correct within the next update. In the meantime, my recommendation would be to continue using Evernote Web as a workaround. Your indentations should remain in the proper format when viewing them in the Windows application if you've created them within Evernote Web.

My workaround is to only use bullets for formatting paragraphs and not mix plain indent paragraphs and bullet paragraphs.

If that best suits your needs,  then of course it makes sense to do so.  I think you may be throwing the baby out with the bathwater,  since GDocs doesn't have the same (working) features as Evernote,  and it's quite easy to link (or attach?) a GDocs file to a note so you can take advantage of both.  But again - your choice.

I have a lot invested in Evernote with 10K notes and using it every hour of every day as part of my work process. Moving to GDocs is exactly what I DO NOT want to do.

Moving to GDocs is not my choice, but if Evernote keeps making editing notes more and more unusable I will have to do something.

I have the same bug report as @KymC open with Evernote support now.

The formatting regression errors in Evernote for Windows is making Evernote unusable.

I do not recommend Evernote for new users until it is resolved.

I am close to stopping to use Evernote for any new projects and use Google Docs.

I updated to 6.11.2.7027 (307027) Public (CE Build ce-43.0.4829) (not beta). It solves my problem of Evernote not using my spelling dictionary. I have to re-add my specific words again to my dictionary. The red-squiggle underline spelling errors stay away even after re-starting Evernote. 

This bug fix is noted in the6.11.2.7027 release notes "- An issue where words added to the dictionary aren't remembered between app launches".

Currently, the only workaround is to add them back to the new dictionary file from right-click menu. I recognize this isn't a great user experience, and I apologize for that. 

 

The workaround in https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/111873-f7-spell-check-gone/?tab=comments#comment-495280 (see text above) does not work for me. I add the word to new dictionary file, the red-squiggle goes away. I exit and restart Evernote, and the red-squiggle word comes back. 

Evernote, please fix this ASAP. I am running 6.10.3.6921 (306921) Public (CE Build ce-1.39.4387).

To be sure, Evernote for Windows is more and more unusable at the most basic usage: Editor bad, no spell check, opening a note very slow, notes forgetting paragraph formatting, etc. Please stop adding any new features until the bugs in the key features are fixed.

@jefito Thanks for the comment. I was hoping the new beta would change something, but it do not. My hope was based on the reply I quoted. 

Rather than using the revert to an old version workaround, I can wait for a real fix.

Does anybody have an ETA on fixing this bug?

Using the 6.10 beta and words seem to be adding.  However I just added a word and two files appeared on my desktop:

I just installed the 6.10.1 beta. I do not have the two files on my desktop.

The user.dic file in the Evernote\Dict folder is not created or updated. 

When I add a word to the dictionary, it is not remembered by Evernote.

Recently Evernote has been painfully slow when changing a selection of a note and when editing a note.

My workaround that improved performance was to uncheck "Automatically format text elements".

The painful performance seems to have come with V6.8.

I have a few very long notes (daily journal/log), but it happened with short notes too. I have 5600 notes. Windows 10. Running on SSD. Did an "Optimise Database", but did not improve performance.

I am 80% sure unchecking "Automatically format text elements" improved performance for me. Your mileage may vary.

Same as @Northland,  I have been a LONG time premium user of Evernote.

On my Windows machine, I have awful formatting issues. This is a newish problem that is getter worse. It seems to be more an issue with larger (e.g. 125K characters) /long edited notes (3 years of daily edits to my log).

My main issue is with indents and bullets get changed when you reopen a note.  The editor is broken.

Note margins are too big in general but are truly painful on a laptop. Please allow them to be configured.
