I hear you, sorry, all that happened to me but last year, and I've forgotten how I did it. I think I simply upgraded to the latest version. It sounds like that may not help you as you are already on the latest versions... I think? I am an infrequent visitor here, count me as a nearly-newbie 🙂 pete

Then you muyst seek help from those who use Windows 10. I've just copied a test file filepath from my documents folder and pasted it in Evernote 'File' menu and it looks like this:( and it works)

I have no problems linking to files on my filesystem. Works a treat 🙂 I suspect you're using a different link algorithm. Can you list the steps you have treid to take? I have to state that my computer is a mac, but I'd be surprised if there was a different method on PC pete

Thanks for your good humour folks. However none seem to refer to the verb 'distribute' in the T&Cs pete

Who owns the copyright of my music and photographs? It says: " by using the Evernote Service and uploading Content, you are granting us a license to display, perform and distribute your Content and to modify (for technical purposes, e.g., making sure content is viewable on smartphones as well as computers and other devices) and reproduce such Content to enable us to operate and offer the Evernote Service. " I know some folk have already terminated their use of Evernote for those reaons. What does the Panel think? pete

Thanks bcal, I figured it out with help from this panel a while back. 🙂 Now to figure out how to mark my query solved... pete

Luxury! When I were a lad all I had was AtariST 🙂

@PinkElephant after many years of use ( 20+?), this is a brand new bit of Mac knowledge 🙂 No wonder it was so hard to find fix. Many thanks 🙂

yes, as soon as I updated EN from the EN website it all worked well.Somehow I had been using the appstore version, naively assuming that they were identical. pete

@PinkElephant thanks for the insight p

@PinkElephant after v10 update I was never without v7 for the reasons I have previously posted ad nauseam. I have since learnt that the update I got on the AppStore is significantly ( for my purposes) different to the natural in-app update. Two hurdles: 1. I incorrectly asked, repeatedly about opening local files in-app, when I really meant 'revealing in Finder' 2. The appStore version wouldn;t get me 'reveal in finder' All sorted now, thanks for riding shotgun on this 🙂 pete

OMG! THAT WORKS! Thank, you Sir! Pete.

@Boot17 Evernote is fully 'Permissed' ( IYKWIM) 🙂 and has been all along...

@PinkElephant@Boot17 Thanks again. I've put this in the link section:` file:////Users/petelemer2/Pictures/Saved Pictures/ And EN returns ( see attachment) 1. I don;t want to 'open' anything. I want to see the folder in Finder. 2. How do I adjust the permissions anyway? pete

I have to own up to misleading the panel by using the wrong terms/concepts. However thanks to everyone who responded, which has helped me make some distinctions. What I am /really/ looking for is the familiar ( to me, at least) 'Reveal in Finder' This is what I've meant by 'open' which was/is incorrect. I dont't want files to open in EN, I want to go to the folder on my drive to access other material associated with a particuler audio. Again, apologies. I hope this makes my need clearer. pete

Thanks David. Not sure what you mean about 10.60. I get " Evernote 10.58.8 is currently the newest version available." My interest is raised 🙂 (later) Ahhhh, the app Store tells a different story. Now installing 10.60 pete

That's lovely, agsteele, I played with it on my Mac and even dragged the file, let alone the alias, and they opened . However, It also opened all the other files in the Finder folder and... I don;t want to open a file, I want to open a folder in the FInder, not in EN, and browse the contents. Thanks for this good trick, I'll try to include it as I go forward cheers pete

I tried to open a file, not a folder, and I got this:

The previous EN took me straight to any folder I wanted. The trick being /file://the filepath/ pete

Yes, I am putting the link to the containing folder for the project, which includse DAW files, audio files, charts etc. In my example the folder is here: /Volumes/T7_Projects/COMPOSITION/New Song Default Folder/IVORY :Destination3MEDITATION3/Meditation 3/Charts Where the folder 'charts' contains pdf instrumental parts.

Hi Vincent, thanks for response. I tried your procedure on Firefox, Mac, and sadly it didn;t work. In any case, I need to access 50+ files and folders all over my directory and doing thos process requires one at a time, I guess pete

I treid this again, having tried it before and failed now, as then. It's a folder with this filepath: /Volumes/T7_Projects/COMPOSITION/New Song Default Folder/IVORY :Destination3MEDITATION3/Meditation 3/Charts In previous EN this procedure ( with which I am very familiar) would take me to the folder in Finder. This is what V10 gives me:

Thanks Mr Elephant :-). have installed legacy today, which allows me to reach locations on my hard and SSD drives. Is there any sign on your, or the panel's radars, that suggests we might be able to link to local files again? ( On Mac) pete

Thanks, agsteele, I need v7 as it allows me to link local files. I have installed legacy today, which allows me to reach locations on my hard and SSD drives pete
