MikekiM 13 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 At startup, Evernote defaults to the same note from months ago regardless of whether I use Evernote Web, the Win Desktop version or Mobile, or if I set the view to sort by Created, Updated or other.It always starts in the same note, which is buried in the middle of all my other notes. I created this note back in June. I've created and modified hundreds since then, yet Evernote is locked on that note.How can change the default for which note is opened at startup? Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,589 Posted September 13, 2011 Level 5* Share Posted September 13, 2011 In the Windows client, at least, the starting condition seems to be persisted from the exit state, that is, on startup, the context seems to be the same as when I exited Evernote. It may be a simple notebook selection, or it may be a saved search, but from what I can tell, it's pretty much the same as it was when Evernote was shut down (except maybe for Attributes selection). List view sort order is maintained, even, as nearly as I can tell, the last note selected. I know that some of this is persisted in the Windows registry (note list state), but I'm not sure where the rest is stored. So it sounds like my experience is different fro yours. I'm not sure why that is. We occasionally do get reports that the note list state is not persisted, but I've never come to understand how that could be. Link to comment
MikekiM 13 Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 Thanks Jeff... If it's created in the WinReg, then I would expect the default note to be different if on a different work station.. I stand corrected on the Win version.. mine does act like yours and opens to the last state.Not so on the web version though.. what determines which note the web version opens? The one it has chosen as default has no rhyme or reason to it....It just a random note from July that is locked to the web version as default. Link to comment

Those of us who are long time developers already know this. You can test the heck out of something (and I'm talking on a single platform) and beta test it with some of the more adventurous users. But the minute you roll it out to the public, there normally will be problems b/c you (developer), as a human being, can't always anticipate how some users will be doing something and it even flew past beta testing b/c none of your beta testers did it this particular way.

The web client url always includes the current note guid. If you just bookmark it and don't edit the url before saving, then...Not a bug. Just an awkwardness. Link to comment
BurgersNFries 2,407 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Not a bug. Agreed. Personally, I don't care what the start up note is & I normally don't even pay it any attention b/c I'm going to be invoking a search or selecting a notebook to add notes to. Link to comment

Sorry.. I didn't mean any disrespect by posing the question. It was an honest mistake. And, I do appreciate the solution! Link to comment

None taken. However, there are so many posts on this board about something that "should be easy to implement." (Yours was not one - you simply posted a question.) I simply piggybacked.
