islandboatman 1 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 drag-question.mp4 In the above video, all I want to do is to Create a notebook called GEO, and then drag "Geography & Population" into it. What am I doing wrong? This is the most difficult tree ever.... ; ( In the first part of the video, I attempt a DRAG/DROP on top of the notebook. In the second part of the video, I attempt a DRAG/DROP, and release in that black line (below the notebook) But, both actions ***** up. Link to comment

What am I doing wrong? If you are trying to create subnotebooks, you cannot in Evernote (at least currently). You can create stacks of notebooks, to exactly one level deep. You cannot nest a notebook under another notebook. See https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/208314158-How-to-organize-notebooks-into-stacks for more information. Generally speaking, the Evernote way to create arbitrarily deep hierarchies is to use tags rather than notebooks. Link to comment
islandboatman 1 Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 Hmm thanks So if the first level of the tree is called "The Notebook" then what is the second level of the tree called? e.g. in the above video, what would be the proper name to call "Geography & Population" Link to comment

You have a collection of notebooks ("Notebooks" in the tree). You can create notebooks in that collection, which is what you did when you created "Geo". When you dragged the notebook "Geography & Population" from the stack "Stats" onto the notebook "Geo", then Evernote created a stack for them to reside in. The stack it created is named "Notebook Stack". In Evernote: There are notes, which contain text and attachments. A note has a title, and may contain tags. A note belongs to exactly one notebook Notebooks contain notes, but cannot contain other notebooks or stacks. A notebook has a title, and may contain zero or more notes. Stacks contain notebooks, but cannot contain notes or stacks. They are a way of grouping notebooks. A stack has a title, and always contains one or more notebooks (a stack with no notebooks does not exist in Evernote) Tags can be applied to notes only. You can apply multiple tags to a note, and a tag may apply to multiple notes. Tags can be organized in a tree structure (i.e. you can nest tags under other tags). The implication of the above is that you cannot make a tree of notebooks in Evernote, and you cannot make a tree of stacks in Evernote. You can collect notebooks in stacks, but that's all. You can make a tree of tags. Link to comment
islandboatman 1 Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 hmm So what is this thing called, and how do I make a new one? Link to comment

islandboatman 1 Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 ugh there's no button to simply "Create an Empty Stack"...? It's very counter-intuitive to create a stack by "Drag and drop one notebook on to another notebook. A new notebook stack containing both notebooks will be created automatically." I"m a programmer, and I don't even understand what that sentence means. >.< Link to comment
dconnet 529 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Technically, a stack is not an object - so it cannot exist on its own. You can right click on a notebook and add it to either an existing stack, or create a new stack. Link to comment
islandboatman 1 Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 >> "You can right click on a notebook and...create a new stack." that's cool Is this a command in the context menu...? I don't see this command "Create A New Stack." Link to comment

dconnet 529 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 right click on notebook, select "Add to Stack", the popup will list the current stacks with "New Stack" at the bottom. Link to comment

I see notebook icons in left panel's Notebooks list. I clipped only the left-hand side for privacy, the the icons are clearly visible. They're visible using the light theme as well. Link to comment
islandboatman 1 Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 Cool - Can you tell me how to turn those icons on? It says "You are using the latest version" of Evernote so i guess i have the new one. I'm in Windows 7 Link to comment

More than likely, you have shared notebooks and @islandboatman does not. (The icon for the default notebook should be there) Link to comment

(The icon for the default notebook should be there) Most likely you're right -- the notebooks at the top of my list are a mix of shared and default. Lower down (and buried in a couple of stacks), they're not shared, and have no icons. Thanks. Link to comment
