jchausse 0 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 This is probably a longshot, but it can't hurt to ask... Is there any way to make Finder Alias that can jump you directly into a specific Notebook? Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,588 Posted August 23, 2011 Level 5* Share Posted August 23, 2011 I'll bet there's a way to do this using AppleScript, but I am not a Mac user, so I don't know for sure (there's a way to do it in Windows, using the ENScript program) Link to comment
yellowait44 5 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Ok folks here you go:-track where the file is on your hard drive : (ex: /Users/YourFilePath/)-go to evernote and select the text you want your link on and press CMD+K-enter your URL in the following format : file:///Users/YourFilePath/-press ok- enjoy the magic!P.S.I made a Mac os X service if your too lazy like me to type the "file:///" and then pasting your pathYou can download this here (To install : unzip and double-click the Copy Path automator service)So now you select the folder you want to link inside evernote then right click and select the "Copy Path" service from the drop-down menu. Open evernote and select your link text inside your note and press CMD+k (or right click +link +add...) paste your link with CMD+V and press done. Link to comment

This doesn't mean that it isn't awesome or useful, just means we can't make any claims about it. Please use your own judgement when downloading. Link to comment
brendant 0 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Your method works for linking to a finder item from a note, but I think what we're looking for is a way to link to a note (or notebook) from finder. Link to comment
JeffChausse 0 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 2 year bump! I just Googled this question again, and was led here... It took me two minutes to realize it was my own thread. In any case, still seeking an answer for this – Can I create a Finder Alias on the Mac, which will open a specific Evernote Notebook (or Note)? "brendant" is correct – the answer from yellowait44 was not related to my actual question. Link to comment
Level 5 Adjusting 276 Posted July 2, 2013 Level 5 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Here's a way to do it. It's a little convoluted and only works for notes: 1. Select the note you want to make an alias to2. From the Note menu, select 'Copy Note Link'3. Launch Automator (/Applications/Automator)4. If a new document window is not already visible, type cmd-N to create one5. When asked to choose a type for your document, choose application6. From the list of actions, find 'Run Shell Script' and double click it7. In the text area of your Run Shell Script action, type 'open evernote:///view/31415...' (using the link you copied in step 2)8. From the File menu, select Save… and give it the name and location you want Now when you click your newly created application it should open your note.I hope that wasn't too confusing.

michelnita 0 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 @Browncoat: how does that work? The link I get (https://www.evernote.com/shard/blabla..../) can't be opened by evernote. You placed "31415..", is there a specific part of the link that goes there? I've tried all parts between / / separately but none work (EN says: can't open this link). Link to comment

Control-click on the note to bring up the context menu, hold down the option key and select "Copy Classic Note Link". Link to comment

NorthUtsira 0 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Perfect! When so many companies get rid of "old" functionality, it's nice to see one that gives users the option of continuing using the former method Link to comment

I found what I think is an easier way: Steps 1 & 2 are the same as the above. 1. Select the note you want to make an shortcut/alias to 2. Right click (control click) the note, press and hold down option, select 'Copy Classic Note Link' from the Note menu 3. Open Safari and past the link into the address bar, you do not have to press enter just paste it in. 4. Drag the icon that is to the left of the link to the desk top/folder This makes a .inetloc file which is more or less just a shortcut. Alias or Shortcut directly to an Evernote Notebook (Mac OSX)http://youtu.be/O1S0gEQR4-M Link to comment

This is probably a longshot, but it can't hurt to ask... Is there any way to make Finder Alias that can jump you directly into a specific Notebook?
