Not just the split screen.I would also rather have it on the bottom
I made an serious error when I upgraded from Endnote 8 to 20. I effectively payed lot of money to get a programe with reduced functionality and minimlal flexibility compared with Endnote 8.
All the single buttton press functions now require you to remember a host of different keystrokes plus the annoying black field on the left cannot be moved and just takes up screenwidth better used for reference lines.
In additoin there is a single default text for the appearance of refernces on the screen. For me the sceeen hadstoo much glare with spidery text agains ta white background.
I totally agree - the bottom split is necessary. I don`t understand why they have deleted.
I don’t understand why the bottom split disappeared - a big mistake. That you can not see the pdf file in the bottom split immediately - impossible.
Moreover, another point of criticism, I can no longer directly delete, edit, etc. the search results. Everything is more complicated and unnecessary nonsense !!!
I completely agree. I updated to EndNote 20 but not being able to preview the PDFs as I browse through my library made me go back to EndNote 9. Unless you know all your references by heart (I have roughly 5,000), not being able to quickly preview the PDFs you search for within your library renders the software useless.
I have used EndNote since was a student (2002) and now I even recommend it to my students, but unless the “right/bottom-PDF” function is restored I will NOT buy subsequent versions and I will be forced to switch to other referencing software.
I really hope that the Developer team takes this issue into account.
Same as several others here. Have been using EndNote for 20+ years. Preordered EndNote 20 for macOS, but deleted it after a few minutes and went back to X9. I found the black/green GUI intrusive if not downright ugly, the line distance when displaying references too large, making EndNote 20 impractical to work with. Additionally the removal of layout functions and other functions made me ask for a refund. I was impresssed by the swift handling of my request by Clarivate who refunded me within days. Unfortunately, it looks as if development of EndNote is on the wrong track, and I will have to consider other solutions in the future.
Yes, and that’s not the only functionality they TOOK OUT. This is an abomination.
You cannot open windows, and especially you can’t open multiple windows simultaneously…necessary for editing between them.
The term lists simply don’t function anymore. They don’t “fill in” in an Endnote reference. They don’t show whether phrases are or are not consistent with the term lists in an Endnote record. You can’t search for one in the term list windows…so entering them from there is beyond clumsy. They are nigh near useless.
I completely agree. Since switching over to Endnote 20 every single comment I have had from users within our organisation has been on this issue. We have lost flexibility and convenience - and I can’t see what has been gained from the switch
I am horrified to see this option has been removed! I upgraded thoughtlessly yesterday, and when I openned it assumed that I would be able to change the layout back to the previous one. I cannot believe that I can’t! The current layout is wasteful and impractical, it could only have been invented by someone who has never used the program! Please bring back the bottom spit immediately!
