marcuso 0 Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 I find myself wanting to use Evernote for things like shopping lists, but I am continually frustrated that by the workflow to get to given notes:Click Evernote icon (skip this step if you use the existing Android widget)Click search barEnter search termSelect noteMenu buttonEdit buttonIt would be nice if there was an Android widget that would directly link to an edit view of a specified note. One step....Additionally, it would be helpful if I could do the same thing from my desktop client (place icons on the desktop to directly edit a specified note). This would probably also tie in with requests to make notes linkable via file handler or URL, but the simple additional of functionality specified above would make Evernote substantially more useful for me (and I imagine most other users).
marcuso 0 Posted October 12, 2010 Author Posted October 12, 2010 The Chrome Notepad extension has proven itself to be extremely useful. I wish I could do the same thing with Evernote from my desktop and Android. Here is a little demo of the functionality from Chrome Notepad (which is only available via the browser and not from the desktop):http://screencast.com/t/MsgOwWCYnBo
Philip Constantinou 11 Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Thanks for the suggestion. We'll look into it.
canyon 0 Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 One way that many Android programs solve this is by allowing "shortcuts" to be placed on the home screen. These then launch the program and open a given document directly. These have the advantage over widgets of not requiring a process to be running in order to display them on the home screen. I would recommend this being added as a menu item when viewing an individual note or even notebook.
marcuso 0 Posted November 2, 2010 Author Posted November 2, 2010 I agree that using shortcuts would be great.
canyon 0 Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 I see that this was put into Beta 5 and WOW!It works exactly as I would have hoped and best of all it handles notes, searches, and notebooks.Thank you so much for adding this feature!
Ah_Fan 23 Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Thanks. You can do short-cut in note list view in the selected tag, as well.
