DaveS 23 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 It would be nice to have the ability to create a new note with a selected tag by right-clicking on a tag in the left panel and selecting a New Note option.David Salahi Link to comment
Level 5* GrumpyMonkey 4,320 Posted January 10, 2012 Level 5* Share Posted January 10, 2012 Interesting idea. I wonder if I can suggest a different option as well. I'd like the option in preferences to designate a default tag(s) and folder when creating a new note. I tend to make a bunch of notes for one project and then move onto the next one, and my notes usually have more than one tag. Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,598 Posted January 10, 2012 Level 5* Share Posted January 10, 2012 @DaveS: Yeah, I could see where that might be useful; maybe even if you have tags multi-selected.@GrumpyMonkey: For Windows, default behavior is that making a new note via the New Note command (File / New Note, Ctrl+N or global Ctrl+Alt+N) makes the new note in the currently active notebook (but only if you're allowed to make notes there, I expect). No default tags, however, tags can be mass applied using the Assign Tags comand (File / Tag..., Ctrl+Alt+T). Copy Note might also be of interest: you can make a template note, with tags and content, and copy it to the notebook that you want., Also the ENScript createNote sub-command can be used to make empty notes in a specific notebook, with explicit tag(s).

Level 5 kvitekp 299 Posted January 11, 2012 Level 5 Share Posted January 11, 2012 DaveS,If you set HKCU/Software/Evernote/Evernote/SetNewNoteTags registry value to 1, the newly created notes will be assigned currently selected set of tags when saved. Please fully exit Evernote with File/Exit before changing its application registry.BTW, you can select tags by Shift+clicking on tag buttons in Note Info panel: this makes it easy to filter notes with the same tags as the one you're viewing. With SetNewNoteTags option set to 1 you can also create new notes with the same set of tags./Peter Link to comment

Shift-clicking on tags in the Note Info pane does select multiple tags but they don't appear to be selected in the Note Info pane. However, I noticed that if I look at the tags in the Left Panel they are selected there. And I can then create a new note with those tags selected.Dave Link to comment

PeetsB 0 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hi everyone, apologies, but how can I make this happen on a Mac. I could not find any registry files.@ /Peter: I checked plist's in Library and in the Evernote container folder but found no relevant references. Any help is highly appreciated.@ all: this feature would be really great! I often work on a couple of projects and would love to duplicate tags to keep my notes properly referenced Link to comment

If you have questions for the Mac version of Evernote, you'd probably get better answers is you asked separately, in a post tagged as [Mac]. You should aso try a web search; you may turn up answers previously given. Link to comment
thorn0 0 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 It's crazy that this feature can be enabled only via the registry. Why is it that hidden? Link to comment
