Level 5* DTLow 5,736 Posted September 16, 2020 Level 5* Share Posted September 16, 2020 Problem with "Copy Internal Link" (v10.0) When pasted into a note, we get a browser link, not the in-app link Ticket #3156462 2 Link to comment
HSM 53 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 If you tap on the three dots in the upper right corner of a note and select "Copy internal link", an external link is produced (https://www.evernote.com....) instead of an internal one. And that is a big problem. Because if you have copied this link into another note and click on it on your Mac, the note will open in the web browser and not in EN. Please fix! 1 Link to comment

HSM 53 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I do not fully understand the differentiation between the different types of links. In the IOS version of EN there are the following types of links: (1) Share note / Share link (2) Share note / send, export and more (3) Three dots top right / Copy internal link For all three variants, this is a link that begins as follows: https://www.evernote.com/shard/..... Always the same link? Or is it not the same link? Confused! On the Iphone or Ipad the links work. You tap on them. And within EN for IOS the desired note opens. But if I copy a link into another note on the Iphone or Ipad and click on this link on the Mac (EN for MAC, still Version 7!), the desired note opens in the web browser. But I do not want that! How do I have to link notes ON THE IPAD OR IPHONE so that ON THE MAC the note does not open in the web browser but in EN for MAC? Link to comment
psimoons 2 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 The link functionality is useless as it is now. When I copy a link to a note and share it with someone who has access to the same notebook the link opens Evernote on iOS, but not the desired note. They still have to search for the note. In previous versions it used to work properly, as you expect: a link opens a note. Not anymore 1 1 Link to comment

They still exist on macOS (Desktop version) by right-clicking on a note and holding down "Opt". The link copy menu changes to show a classic link (xcallback Link). This xcallback link then works on macOS, iOS and iPadOS. But it is impossible to create it from iOS/iPadOS.

HSM 53 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Thank you! But I don’t want to learn something about „xcallback links“. I just want, that my „internal links“, that i produce in the IOS-Version, will be opened in the MAC-Version by EN (Mac) and not by EN (Web)! 3 Link to comment

Evernote has removed this possibility on iOS. Yet I'm doing a big job to get them to reintegrate it... I get thrown out every time... @psimoons I stay on version 7.14 on macOS to keep this function.

HSM 53 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I don’t think, this is correct. All the last years it was always the case that an internal link, which I produced on Iphone/Ipad, was opened on the Mac with EN Mac and not with EN Web. And I also stay on 7.14 for Mac. But on Mac the internal links open with EN Web since EN IOS 10.0 1 Link to comment

A classic link created on macOS will open this link in Evernote desktop. A link created on iOS will always open the browser on macOS. If you have found another method, we would be curious to hear about it. I'm talking about links between different applications... Of course... Not inside Evernote.... Edit : I just tested an internal link created in Evernote iOS. Indeed, on macOS it opens the browser. So the internal link in Evernote iOS is broken.

I find myself in mobility, working with a tool that is losing notes, impossible to search by date of creation and so many other bugs... Inconceivable at the professional level. And as they don't want to give us the old version... I leave Evernote. There are alternative solutions nowadays to Evernote. Sorry, I was talking about internal links outside of Evernote and not IN Evernote. 1 Link to comment
bigtelco 153 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 One of the primary reasons that I settled on Evernote was because of the ease of linking notes to other applications, like my task manager. Prior to v10 all of these links were working. Now, on Mac it opens a web version (bad but functional) but in iOS it opens the Evernote app and does. Virtually every user of Things, Todoist, OmniFocus, MS office was using this linking feature. It was a key differentiator between Evernote and OneNote which uses a more complex, yet functional linking system. Meanwhile, Apple Notes has been enhancing its sharing capabilities. This renders Evernote virtually useless for many users. As I have tried to adapt to the “new” Evernote I keep finding more little “touches” that appear designed to frustrate the users who pay a premium for features. Unless you are just writing simple notes and not interacting with any other software Evernote is fundamentally broken. If that is the case then you are probably a non-paying user that could just as easily use Google Keep or Simple Notes. I hope they pull the nose up quickly, right now this “update “ risks augering the Company into the ground.... Link to comment
hgdar 9 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 +1 With this new version, many features that made the difference with competing applications have disappeared. No more internal link. No more context menu. Features that are less practical than before. It sucks. 2 Link to comment
Mike304 1 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 There is an iOS shortcut posted here that will convert the web shortcut to an internal shortcut: https://rthr.me/2020/10/evernote-internal-links/ 1 Link to comment
IzzyG 0 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I'm new on this forum, but why aren't there any responses from Evernote in here? I'm just trying to get an idea of whether Evernote is moving forward here and taking our feedback, or if the priority is somewhere else. My annual account gets charged in 8 days and I'm noting all the stuff happening here. Link to comment

John Jablonski 18 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 There is an iOS shortcut posted here that will convert the web shortcut to an internal shortcut: https://rthr.me/2020/10/evernote-internal-links/ thanks @Mike304 This shortcut you pointed to works great. here’s my rough workflow to use it: - in destination note in iOS V10+, do “Copy Internal Link” from the note drop-down three dots Menu. - move to note where link is desired. Paste - this creates a link to the destination note using the note Title as text. It also places the cursor at the end of the new link, so the Edit Link function is available. - now I say “Hey Siri, Convert Evernote Link” - invoking the Shortcut at the link you provided. - then I click to edit the link. I place the cursor at the end of the “bad” link. - I do Select All and then Paste and then Apply the change to the link. Now the link behaves properly on iOS and Windows V10 Evernote, and presumably MacOS as well. It gets pretty automatic after a while. Best, —John 1 Link to comment
