DRAG AND DROP FROM EN TO GMAIL - HOW LONG MUST WE WAIT?

[castlegateag 0]

I run a real estate brokerage.  We use EN for storage of all of our contracts/forms/notes/everything.

The inability to drag a simple PDF from EN into GMAIL is terribly disappointing.  How long will it be

until this is resolved?

Hi.  We're not Evernote - this is mainly a user 2 user Forum. There's probably a request somewhere to add the d&d feature to which you could add a vote,  or if not you could create your own feature request.  Either way Evernote don't exactly 'do' requests - they tend to evaluate the various features and fit the most popular and feasible additions into their own ongoing work to fix/ upgrade v10.  Evernote certainly don't give timelines on whether or when features are being fixed/ added.

That said - have you tried d&d or saving the attachment(s) to the desktop and then into GMail?

Drag and drop is generally dysfunctional on Evernote 10. This isn't just a Gmail thing.  Try dragging an image from Evernote into, say, a Word document. THis issue has been well documented so should be on the development radar. But I would suggest a support ticket if you are a Personal (formerly Premium) subscriber.

As @gazumped hints, draging via the desktop is the best workaround.

Drag & Drop is working better and better with the last releases. On the Mac it now works between v10 and the Apple Office solution, however it does still not work with LibreOffice or Apple Mail.

The desktop to park files is still a good workaround.

2024 and this program still isn't fixed. And they wonder why I still like Evernote 6 better.

There is nothing to fix in the meaning of a bug. Content is partly in containers. If a single container is moved out, it is (usually) unpacked and the content extracted.

If a mixed selection is moved, the unpacking doesn’t happen. This is for us users not what we wish for, but it is to be expected. The interaction between the format of the notes content and the OS clipboard is not smooth.
