Aymes 1 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Normally when you drag and drop say a .png file into Evernote, you can right click on it and select "View as Attachment". When I do this, nothing happens. Please help. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 9,811 Posted September 21, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted September 21, 2015 Hi. Haven't been aware that PNG files could be switched into attachments, but I agree the option is greyed out now.. Link to comment
Aymes 1 Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 Anyone know the status of this bug? I know it is possible, because I had previously been doing it and have a bunch of .png attachments in my Evernote currently. Link to comment
Rungineer 1 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I am experiencing this bug as well. A work around I have found in Wondws, is to double-click the image in order to view it. Copy the image from Windows Image Viewer and then paste it into the Note. Now the image is inline.Not ideal. Link to comment
Evernote Employee nohb 27 Posted December 6, 2015 Evernote Employee Share Posted December 6, 2015 Evernote always shows images in-line, which is why the 'view as attachment' option is greyed out. This option is available for other attachment types like PDFs. Link to comment
Aymes 1 Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 I know your title says Group: Evernote Employee, but I assure you I was able to do it before after dragging and dropping. It stopped working after a patch. Fortunately I found a workaround: Rather than dragging and dropping, I if I right click copy, then right click paste into Evernote, it will remain an icon. If that didn't work, I don't know what I would do, because it is really important for me to be able to view as attachment rather than in line, in most cases. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 9,811 Posted December 7, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted December 7, 2015 I've always believed that images were displayed and couldn't be marked as an attachment. I did try using Shift and dragndrop which is an option to drop a selected file item as an attachment, but that doesn't work with either JPG or PNG files - they come up as a picture, with the 'view as attachment' option greyed out. I also tried the copy and paste option - which gets me a picture, not an icon... The only way AFAIK to get a picture to display as an icon is to change the file extension so Evernote doesn't realise it's a picture (it doesn't read the file to check). Some picture editors are smart enough though to load the file regardless. FWIW. Link to comment
Mirv 0 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 This functionality is still buggy. Sometimes PDFs come into the note inline, sometimes as attachments. Sometimes it works to check/uncheck the Tools > options > pdf inline setting. Link to comment

Can you tell whether there is any difference with regard to content or format between the inline and attachment PDFs? For instance, PDFs containing images or tables or something? Link to comment
