(Archived) IE 7 added, more browsers coming


Recommended Posts

We've just added IE7 support to the web version at preview.evernote.com. That means that you can currently access the web version using FireFox 2 or Internet Explorer 7. Here's our roadmap for other browsers:

Safari 3 - Almost works now (you can use it on the site now, but will still see the browser warning popup and a few graphical glitches). Will be complete by March 11th.

FireFox 3 beta - There's a known incompatibility between the current FF3 beta and Google Web Toolkit (GWT), which is the technology that we're using for the web version. This should be resolved with an official GWT patch "real soon now." Our goal is to fully support FF3 by the time it comes out of beta, or in a month, whichever comes first.

IE 6 - Almost works now (you can use it on the site now, but will still see the browser warning popup and lots of graphical glitches). This is a pretty old browser that doesn't support some of the newer technologies that we're using on the web GUI, but our plan is to have a slightly less fancy version running smoothly in it in the next month.

Opera - We keep getting requests for this, but haven't investigated it yet. Will look into it and let you know.

Thanks again to all the beta testers!

I, of course, AM really interested in these updates and I love RSS.

Can you provide an option (as a default would be nice) for FULL RSS feeds? What I get from the feed associated with the notebook URL you provided is not the full article.

That's a good suggestion, we'll think about how to do this (right). I.e. since we allow notes with up to 5MB of text/HTML, we didn't want to dump this onto an RSS reader. We're just excerpting the first few kB for now, but will think about options.

Thanks

A good stop-gap would be to increase the # of kB being sent. Additionally, you'll want to check the formatting of the output... It's all messed up in my RSS readers (FeedDemon).

For example, it comes across as (this is the RSS feed for this note in its entirety -- note formatting and, well, incompleteness):

Key fixes and features:Case 9066: Bug: Search results differ searching in notebook and in all notebooks

- Search didn't appropriately constrain on the notebookCase 7710: Absolute scrollbar for thumb viewCase 8613: All users in the system get 10 invites unless otherwise specifiedCase 8729: Grid and List view scrollbar heights should reflect total number of notes

Case 8806: Add display of note attributes to single-note view

Smaller enhancementsCase 7836: Move notes from deleted notebook to Trash

Case 9012: Bug: Exception confirming an account during registrationCase 8909: Email addresses need to be URL encoded or somethingCase 8938: Bug: It's possible to login into the unconfirmed accountCase 8937: Bug: Invoking confirmation link with being logged in opens wrong accountCase 8764: Bug: there is no 'play' button in the message with a voiceCase 8834: Bug: Incorrect hint in registration?

Ok,

Got into the web Evernote as I've been invite as Beta Tester.

First wish: Please implement the Internet Explorer 6 compatibility. I am sure lots of us (they should confirm of course) are still using IE6 for compatibility matters with other systems

On my first note into the kinda faulty IE6 try, the view of the title of my note was not legible (blue and yellow do not work at all it seems). Perhaps a little revamp there necessary.

Oviously, my trial was short as the IE6 crashed after a few movements, but this was expected.

Best regards

Tom

Just wanted to add another request for opera. Pls note that Opera Mini is just abt the only decent freeware browser that can be loaded on mobile phones and it rocks!!! Would love support for that too.

Thanks,

Madhu.

Opera.... that would be fantastic. Please add if at all possible. Thanks.

Absolutely right. The best desktop browser, though not the most popular due to the marketing power of MS & the Free Firefox campaign, and the only decent choice for mobile phones and PDAs.

Another request for OPERA

I drug the Clip to Evernote ribbon to my Opera Toolbar and it works like a champ.

I think you will find Opera an easy addition because it adheres to standards better than the other browsers.

Please keep trying with it. Thanks

How about Maxthon? Since it's based on IE, I can use just about any IE plugin (Add to EverNote 2.2 works just fine) but after I installed Add to EverNote 3 to IE7, I could find no way to enable it in Maxthon as I did with the 2.2 version.

I second the Maxthon request - and please add IE8 - no Evernote icon in the menu, also not after reinstalling Evernote 3.

Note that with IE8 the "post reply" button in the forum doesn't work, I had to switch to IE7 emulation mode to post here :).

Greetings

IE8 is kind of an early beta which has many incompatibilities with existing web sites and plugins. We will add support for it later.
