Denz 2 Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 Just updated original post. Need to remove // after "evernote:". Error should be gone now! Link to comment
mf-hfc 0 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Is there a way to set this up so it directly opens a new note, rather than opening Evernote? I realize the tray icon has this option, but it would be nice to reduce the clutter if this is possible. Thanks! Link to comment
