felixxia 4 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 It seems to me that i cannot copy paste images from one note to another, and i need this to tidy things up. Advise please? thanks Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,057 Posted June 19, 2023 Level 5* Share Posted June 19, 2023 Hi. If you're talking about the pasted file shown as 'unknown' or a spinning arrow, that's already been reported and tickets raised with Support. If not, please tell us more - what's your device / OS / Evernote version and exactly what happens when you copy/ paste. There's no particular fix yet, though if you're on a desktop, pasting to the desktop, then copy/ pasting from there may help - plus you can try merging notes together and then moving content around within the merged note.

felixxia 4 Posted June 19, 2023 Author Share Posted June 19, 2023 hi there. i am on windows 11. i used to make notes with either png or jpegs of screenshots. one day, the note has become large, so i want to separate some "chapters" into another notes. control c and control v the images from the old note to the new one. at first it looked fine, but later the images dont appear and there are rotating icon ( it looks like loading icons ) that keep on spinning forever.

Level 5* gazumped 12,057 Posted June 19, 2023 Level 5* Share Posted June 19, 2023 Hmmn. If you're splitting a note up, try saving the attachments to your desktop and then attach one or more to a new note. Link to comment
felixxia 4 Posted June 20, 2023 Author Share Posted June 20, 2023 there are too many. saving attachments one by one to desktop and then do it one by one to a new note, does not make any sense. why should i pay evernote annually if i still have to do all those ? copy pasting between notes should be easy and straight forward, this is 2023, not 1970. 2 Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,780 Posted June 20, 2023 Level 5 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Duplicate the note, erase a part in the first, and the opposite part in the second. Works faster and better than any copying. Link to comment
felixxia 4 Posted June 20, 2023 Author Share Posted June 20, 2023 thank you. but since then my problem has become more complex and that wont help me tidy things up. now i have two separate notes, what if i need to take a few part from the first note, a few more part from the second note, and move both to a third note?

Level 5 PinkElephant 8,780 Posted June 20, 2023 Level 5 Share Posted June 20, 2023 It still easier to work on a note level. Duplicate the two initial notes, merge them and erase what’s not needed. I am not telling it wouldn’t be nice if copying/moving content would be easier. I just tell you the IMHO best way to do it NOW. 2 Link to comment

Be aware that merging notes, specifically notes with images, do not work correctly currently...at least for me: Link to comment
