drybone 2 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Hi Everybody, Is there something Im missing? I can't turn off recents in the sidebar anymore and it just came back on by default with version 7 on mac. Thanks Link to comment
Level 5* DTLow 5,736 Posted February 17, 2018 Level 5* Share Posted February 17, 2018 It would be better to report this in the v7 feedback discussion, linked below I noticed Recent Notes has been moved to the bottom of the Shortcuts section. There is no separate option to disable it We do have the option for a minimal sidebar (icons) and only display the lists when required Link to comment

Thanks No. Evernote insists that Apple users (it's a problem on iOS too) need to have Recent Notes forced down their virtual throats. No explanation has been given so far. I am sticking to 6.13.3. until they fix this, which may be forever. Edit: This happened already in Beta 6.14, a few us complained, but apparently Evernote is adamant this is how it needs to be.

Apparently, Evernote is settled on this. And your "workaround" is useless. Link to comment

The version numbering is of no importance (although surprising). Your "workaround" also eliminates Evernote being useful. You have to use shortcuts to have quick access to your default notebook (a major design flaw in itself), your "workaroudn" eliminates it. It also does not make recent notes disappear. Link to comment

The version numbering is of no importance (although surprising). This seems to be the normal at Evernote. Users report feedback, which is then ignored and a general release is pushed out regardless of whether bugs are fixed or not. I'll add another vote to at least giving users an option to disable recent notes in the sidebar. This was optional in prior versions...why is it mandatory now? Personally I feel these recent notes just add more clutter to the sidebar. First the green button, now the recent notes. Too much clutter renders the sidebar useless. Link to comment

Rydazzle 1 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Adding more feedback to this... this is driving me nuts. This causes my whole note list to not fit on my screen thus I have to scroll (and the window loses a bit of its width due to the scroll bar) and since the list is dynamic, my notes float lower and higher depending on how many recent notes I have. Also, I use Evernote for meeting minutes and share the application on the web conference. If there is a note on my recents that I don't want to have shared with the meeting (e.g. projects with other companies) I have to close Evernote and re-open it to kill the history. I dont see the value in forcing users to not turn this off - if people like it great, if not, give us the option to hide it. Link to comment

I answered the question, Recent Note List moved, and corrected the "mandatory" comment. The ability to disable "recent notes" in the sidebar was an option in previous versions. Users could have shortcuts visible and hide the recent notes. Now if a user displays shortcuts in the sidebar, they are forced to see a list of recent notes underneath the shortcuts. That's what I mean by mandatory. If a user wants to have shortcuts visible in the sidebar, they are forced to see a list of recent notes underneath. This adds unnecessary clutter to the sidebar, a point which you agreed with me on in your comment above: On 2/17/2018 at 6:42 PM, DTLow said: I agree.

IschaGast 2 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Just updated to the new version and the one thing that I really miss is the option to hide recent notes. I never need that option, please let us hide it. Link to comment
