That worked! tyvm!

I use Evernote for my todo and troubleshooting at work. It allows me to use a note to attach whatever I want about the event. Once done, I archive it for later reference.

I've only come across one issue at this point. How do I get a list of my note titles in a tag so I can give it to my supervisor?

For example:

Tag:  .todo_today

Note Titles:
1. Call Someone who cares.
2. Pick toe nails.
3. Pull out hair.
4. Attempt to stop drinking at work.

I just need a list of the titles in this tag. I can print each note if needed, just need a list of what is outstanding.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Thank you all for your replies.

I believe I'll be using tags as my defining priority for now. At least, until I come up with something that works better for me.

I'm a developer and my wife works with me. I've been trying to use Evernote to organize my todo list since it allows me to add documents, images and pretty much whatever happens during the troubleshooting or development.

I'm running in to an issue of priorites. I'm not finding an easy way to set a priority on them.

Here is what I have so far:

Sorry, had to blur out a few things cause.. ya know, this is the internet after all.

I'd really like to come up with a good solution. We are paying for Todoist teams, between my wife and I so I'd like to move off that to something that has more capbilites.

Anyhow, any suggestions on priorities or a better way to do this, would be GREATLY appreciated!!

^ like a said.. so much hostility!  welcome to the forums all!

wow, so much hostility on this forum. 

btw +1

Removing commonly used features for the sake of "moving ahead" is absurd and not how you keep customers.  Insult me all you want, it really doesn't affect me. Enjoy

I have let them know. Their new Windows version sucks. Can't say it any plainer.  The number of features they removed with this new version just makes it unusable.

I'm moving 10 years of notes to another application. Enjoy!

Thanks.

Just adds to the suck.

Yup.

Is there a way to disable the pdf preview on the new Windows desktop app? I'm on version 10.39.6. I know in the previous versions I could turn this off but I cannot find it in this version.

Any suggestions?

Btw, this new forum sucks.

Thanks,

You are a spokesperson for Evernote?

Just because you choose to "cope without it" doesn't mean people cannot request it. It's a highly sought after feature that has been asked for time and time again.

A very important one is the dark theme on windows, I'm very happy with that !

Not sure I can justify a cosmetic addition when they take out so many important features that existed previously.

I ended up going back to the previous version. The new version just wasn't usable to me. If they make it where I cannot use a previous version, I'll reevaluate then I suppose.

What I do not understand, why release a new product that has less features than the previous version? I haven't seen anything this new version will do that the old version would not.

So far, I cannot say I like this version over the older versions, I hope some answers will change my mind.

I'm running in to a few issues that I cannot figure out, if someone doesn't mind helping me?

1. How do you drag and drop on a tag now? I have quite a few documents that I just drag on to the tag and it would add it to Evernote. Any suggestions?

2. Where do I create a watched folder? In previous versions, I set that up in the settings on the menu bar. I cannot find that option now.

3. When I select a tag, click create new note, it resets my view back to the notebook. That's a pain since I have to click on the tag again to add another note, it just doesn't stay on the tag I've been working on. I find that it switches every time I create a new note.

4. Is there a way to have it focus on the title on a new note?

5. Again, in the previous version I could set the pdfs not to display in the note, now it's displaying all 20 pdfs in it's glorious number of 14000 pages. Can this be set to default to not display pdfs inline?

Thanks all for the assist!

Not clear from the above as to the current condition of your two accounts.  If they are reasonably pristine as they once were you could try importing notes by some bit of tag hierarchy at a time.  Then organize those tags in the new account.  Kind of control the chaos. 

If everything is already jumbled, use the tags view (Ctrl+Shift+T) in a legacy desktop app and drag/drop to organize.  No pretty way to do this of which I am aware.  How many tags are we talking out of interest?

A ***** ton, which is why I want to start over but be able to access the previous information. I suppose I'll start a new account or try some other alternative. Hate to move when I've been using this account since 2008.  

The import should have kept the hierarchy. I mean, it's their down dang export. 

Thanks for everyone's help.

Hi.  It should be possible to set up two stacks - containers for notebooks - to handle your business and personal notebooks. (I'm assuming that you use two premium accounts,  or a premium and a basic account for your current notes).  Exporting from Evernote to ENEX files is something you do notebook-by-notebook,  because the exported file does not contain notebook information,  but it should have included tags.  Next time you do that,  watch for options.

To 'start over' I'd suggest you create you two stacks in your account and then start moving existing notebooks into the correct business or personal slot.  If you have a lot of notebooks,  you may have to come up with some naming conventions like stacks named BUS-current,  and BUS-archive to split them up a little.

Hope that helps - it shouldn't be rocket-science..

Create a notebook stack

Thank you for the info. My biggest issue is the tags. I have hundreds of them now on the root from where they were imported. I don't see how stacks will help in that regards, or am I missing something?

I have two Evernote accounts. One for business and one for personal use. I wanted to combine them in to one account but just keep them in separate notebooks. Little did I know, when you import from another account, it doesn't keep the tag hierarchy. Now, I have hundreds of tags thrown everywhere in my personal account and a complete mess.

It kind of upset me so I stopped using Evernote for a while, really only for reference. 

I'm looking to start over. I want to be able to reference the previous data but I want to be able to start over with no data and bring in what I need. I am a premium member so I don't want to maintain a 3rd account for this. I've been using Evernote since 2008 and I have a lot of notes. I'm on Windows 10, if that helps any.

Any suggestions?

Thank you for listening!

Also, I wanted to note that I'm not a fan of these new forums. They are confusing and frustrating.

Also, history doesn't help when you share a note and it's altered and they dont know anything about history or have access to it.

You can review note versions using the Note History backup

that does help! thank you!

Maybe I'm late to the game, but has this been implemented on the Windows app? I seem to find notes with data missing in them that I know I was copying data from.

I've had a subscription with Evernote since May 2008. Recently I've come across hard times and had to drop the subscriptions to both my work and home account. I love Evernote and won't stop using it. It has more features than any note taking application that I've come across and I've tried multiple programs including self hosted. Nothing even comes close.

<rant>

With that being said, when I moved to the basic version, I didn't expect to be bombarded with prompts to upgrade as much as I've been since dropping my subscription. Every time I open it, I'm getting some prompt to upgrade my account. I've told the application multiple times that I'm using the basic version but I keep getting prompts to upgrade.

I understand this company needs to have revenue in order to keep up the great work they do but I'd appreciate it if you'd calm down on the reminders to upgrade. They are excessive and annoying. I plan to upgrade but to keep reminding me to do so every time I open do anything in the application is a bit much. If you are going to offer the app with a free version, then you shouldn't be harrassed as much as it is doing now.

</rant>

short version:   Love Evernote but the excessive upgrade reminders are beyond annoying.

Thanks for listening!
