Compatibility issues

We have identified a couple compatibility problems. Computers with the NVIDIA Quadro NVS video card are unable to run Evernote 3.5. Also, some users have reported font blurriness, which appears to be caused by an underlying incompatibility between .NET and some older video cards and drivers. In both cases, we are working with the manufacturers to find a resolution. Users affected by these issues should continue using Evernote for Windows 3.1 until they are resolved

Note to Evernote 3.1 users

If you’re using Evernote for Windows 3.1, we encourage you to try 3.5 by downloading it directly. 3.5 and 3.1 can coexist on the same machine, so you can decide if you’re ready to make the switch. There are many changes in 3.5, and more are still coming, so we do not want to auto-upgrade 3.1 users until we’ve worked out an easy migration strategy.

I’m having problems downloading this new version – let alone installing it – I’m getting a message saying the source file could not be read………….is it just me???

I’m disappointed by my first glance into Evernote 3.5. I’ve been a relatively happy Evernote user for quite some time, but one of the things I loved about early versions of Evernote is that they were just plain unintrusive. A simple text list on the side of my monitor that I could search and sync. (Pics too, if I so desired.)

Upon installing 3.5, however, Evernote took up my entire screen – and I don’t have a small monitor by any means. Even unchecking most of the options didn’t allow me to get back to a simple note-view list. I could view subjects, but not contents inline.

I’m sure Evernote 3.5 brings some awesome new features to the fold – but I’m going to stick with 3.1 for now. Maybe consider adding a “minimalist” view, where the view is simply composed of the following:

a. a plain, one-column list of the text of your notes
b. viewable or hideable subject lines
c. default to a “blurb” of your note, with a button to expand to full note contents. (make an option to have the default be either blurbs or full contents, let the note button toggle.)

That’s what I want.

I use Evernote because it stays out of my way. I don’t see that I’d use it as much if I had to make it a full-screen full-field construct.

Yep, I’m very happy with 3.1 too. When you start to force 3.1 users to upgrade I guess I’m gonna have to look elsewhere for a solution – unless you’ve added options to remove the preview icons panel by then. That’s the problem with writing again from scratch, you introduce a lot of bugs and lose a lot of features that were already sorted.

First congratulations for the nice job done!

I am a premium user and I will Request some missed features that were present in 3.1 and were important:

- Possibility to edit tags selecting several notes. I mean, deselect some tags in all the selected notes (as previous icon)

- When selecting a notebook and tags, to see how many notes contains the other tags and the total ( 3 of 15)

- I also agree that the new 3.5 needs more than 2 Gb. If it is not possible to reduce, keep de 3.1 downloadable.

Thanks!

The blurry fonts are a real problem… they’re almost painful to look at on my netbook.

The installer is crashing for me (just like the original 3.5 did) me whenever i try to run it on my Windows 7 x64 machine.

I love Evernote but this is really discouraging.

Please, update the Thunderbird web clipper addon for the v3.0 and makes all the thunderbird users happy

When will I be able to update the version on my U3 USB Thumb Drive?

I’m pretty dissapointed with this release.

1. No portable version, so i can’t work with ease in different computers, i keep moving from PC to PC in order to do my job as webmaster.
2. No way to convert it into a simple notes list. Why have you taken out the simplicity that made EN the best?
3. There’s no way to disable global shortcuts… hey! i don’t want global shortcuts, i use other programs too, and to have too many shortcuts is too bad to our computer interaction.
4. I guess this one was not designed considering what users really wanted or expected, but just to show new things and see what happens expecting for the best…

I think i’ll stick at EN 3.1 or look for an alternative…

Portable version please!
