Whyohwhy 0 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Hey,Everynote seems like a good idea, but the main functions i think it should have, just arent implemented.It just doesn't work out for me.Its like you built a nice Castle, without a door.The function i need is the following:My To-Do list is pinned to my desktop. when i change something there, it gets changed in the .txt file saved on my computer.Evernote was told to import the folder, containing that .txt file.Now, everytime i change a small bit, like a line for example, evernote keeps the old import, and imports it anew, so i have multiple instances of the same file.Furthermore, why does evernote take the first line of the file as name, and not the filename? That makes no sense, i save the file as To-Do, and then have to write To-Do in the first line, just for evernote to call it To-DoIs there some posibility for evernote to check if that file is already existing, instead of creating a quadrillion of files, all almost the same?Thanks in advance,Me Link to comment

Whyohwhy 0 Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 Why not just keep your to-do-list in Evernote and cut out all the other stuff?because i've always liked having notes on my desktop, i see them all the time when i work on the pc, reminding me of whats left to do, then i heard about evernote, and thought great, if im outside and want to check whats on my todolist, i can just check up evernote, but that doesn't work.i do not want to fire up a program everytime.

It syncs among instances of its databases (cloud, desktop, etc.); it does not sync between its databases and files on your hard drive.If you keep it in Evernote, you can access it from the web easily; can we assume that you generally have that handy?

Whyohwhy 0 Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 it would be nice to have a checkbox inside the import function, that will just delete older entries if the title is already existing. from my point of view thats so simple, yet so useful.guess i will just have to write my own little program then.Thanks for all of your replies!

To Do App!!! I use the free version of Todoodledo on my desktop. There are several iPhone apps that integrate with that service (as well as RTM & the various other cloud to do apps). Some of them even remove the item, once it's checked or move it to the bottom of the list. Link to comment
