TechBarber 100 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I was using Evernote last night and I had an idea for a feature. Let's say you're working on a Microsoft Word file. In order to get it into Evernote, you have to save it somewhere locally on your computer and then drag that file into a new note in Evernote. It would be awesome if you could save the file directly from Word or Excel into Evernote. I know you can setup a monitor folder that more or less accomplishes this now, but if it were possible to integrate Evernote into Word or Excel like it is in Outlook - well, that'd be the "bees knees".

Level 5* gazumped 12,137 Posted October 30, 2012 Level 5* Share Posted October 30, 2012 Nice idea, but I think the problem with that would be: to which version of Office would you like to have Evernote cosy up? 2003? 2007? 2010? and there's the new Cloud version(s) now too... That's a lot of research and development to -maybe- make a save possible - and then where would you save it to? Is Evernote going to take over as your E:\ drive?On the other hand you could nominate a Dropbox account as your Import folder and save to that from anywhere, just like you do to your home hard drive - and then when you open the file again from a Note, you'd be able to save it back into the note without any problem - just don't use Save As...Not being negative, just practical - and selfish; I want the guys working on other long awaited stuff like things that shall be nameless but have the initials DD (and I'm not talking cartoon ducks...)

TechBarber 100 Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 As a programmer myself, believe me, I hear you. I love the requests that are like "...and then you could make that blink when I need to take action on it...oh, and could you make it blue because that's my cat's favorite color - that wouldn't be too hard I wouldn't think, right?". To which I usually respond - You're absolutely correct - just thought it would be cool to be able to throw a file into a notebook of my choosing straight from an app. But I guess it would be difficult to draw that line. If you could do it in Word and in Excel, why not also in Autocad or GarageBand? I use a notebook called "Quick Notes" to process all my incoming data so to have it save there would be sweet. But again, I hear you. Link to comment
