evermullah 8 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 hi all EN users,i'm curious about how other people do the job.the first days i used EN, i came to some points, where i had more than 1 note concerning a special subject.as all those notes to that subject were indivitual how-to's, i didnt want to merge them all together, so i ponderd, how to reference to another note inside a note. (simplest idea was: drag a note into another and create a link, which takes me, if clicked, to that linked note.)i did not came to a conclusion (also because EN did not offer any useful tools/features for this matter for me at this time), so i dropped to be concerned about cross-referencing and lived my life happily ever after.until now.are *you* refer to other notes?if, how?if not, why? (i assume, tagging a note is some kind of referencing and i use tagging a lot, but with a lot of tags, sometimes a note isnt covered with all the applicable tags available in the taglist (too much tags to remember, forgot a special tag, overseen a tag, etc...))cheers, Link to comment
Level 5 jbenson2 2,149 Posted February 1, 2011 Level 5 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Here are a couple versions involving an unique code inserted into the notebooks that need to be referenced.This technique is more powerful than a simple link, because it allows you to link several notes together - example: the notes involved in buying a car: research notes, dealer info, car specs, negotiation, financing, purchase details.http://forum.evernote.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=13137&p=52337&hilit=random.org#p52337http://forum.evernote.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=20897&start=0&hilit=roboform#p88631 Link to comment

Level 5* jefito 5,598 Posted February 2, 2011 Level 5* Share Posted February 2, 2011 As discussed in the other thread, I don't do note linking at this time, and probably won't until they're supported natively.If I were to need this, I would use GUIDs, probably generated via the Microsoft developer tool, GuidGen.exe, e.g. : {77FB8881-6CBD-403e-920B-BDB3F2A14447}. As unique as they need to be for a single person, you can find them as-is by wrapping them in quotes in the search string, and you could also fabricate series by modifying the last 'n' hexadecimal digits of a base GUID, which will still likely be unique enough.~Jeff Link to comment

Very disappointing as I wanted to see how to do that.Yeah, I know.Evernote decided that the older information would confuse the users. So when they upgraded the forum software, they shut down the older messages.Kind of frustrating. There were a lot of gems in those older posts. Link to comment
