No idea what happens if I put a colon in front and after me ...

Then I believe you become a gastroenterologist.

This is probably unnecessary advice, but if you go to the Help menu and check for updates it should bring you up to current. If not, you can download directly from evernote.com.

As @gazumped hinted, both of the links you included apply to older versions of Evernote (v. 6 and under). I believe the data in v. 10 are located in various subfolders under C:\Users\{your_username}\AppData\Roaming\Evernote. But what's there is complex, and the Evernote program's exact interactions with all the bits and pieces may be something of a mystery, to us and to Backupery.

Sorry, I got that wrong. Looks like I have version: 10.41.5-win-ddl-public (3540)
 

Ah. You need to do an update then.  I believe the Notes section of Preferences first appeared with v. 10.48 in early November--see

Thanks for your replies.

This is the PC version 6.25.1.9091. Just upgraded my subscription yesterday to Professional.

That's the weird thing: the "notes" option is not there. on mine. (see below)

Oddly, the screenshots you show are not from v. 6.25 but from v. 10 of the Windows desktop app (but not the current version, since they don't include Notes, nor, just for the record, v. 10 of the Web client, since they do include import folders). Very puzzling.

And don't forget that EN V10 also supports putting a colon before and after the text name of the emoji. e,g,

Ha! So it does! What an educational thread this continues to be. 🧑 👨 👩 📷 📺

I've found this annoying too, especially with long notes. I've voted up your suggestion (which has probably been requested more than once, but I haven't searched). But I doubt that there's going to be a rush to change this, and I'm not sure it's as simple as opening a Word document where you last left off, though the truth is I have no idea how it would be programmed into Evernote. In any case, very long notes are deprecated in Evernote, which is really designed for short-form items. If it's really important, we can make our own anchor with a unique text string (such as !!HERE!!) and search the note for it. Adds a few seconds, but at present it seems like the only available workaround. Or open the note in a separate window and keep it open while you work on other notes.

Yeah, I get that. "I can't change this and I can't control that" is an important life lesson on many levels, one which I diligently resist learning. (Once saw a T-shirt that said "I have CDO ... It's like OCD, but it has the letters in the right order.")

On my Windows machine the Emoji shortcut is Windows Key + . (period), as stated in this Windows support article.

On my Win10 Dell laptop, both Windows Key + . and Windows Key + ; pop up the emoji dialog. So ... 🙂 ... 🤔 ... 😀

I'm writing a manuscript and I think it's helpful to have all of my notes printed out so that I can arrange them on a huge table. But it would be useful to organize them based on the tags I assigned them in evernote. The only way I can think of to accomplish this is to manually add the tag names in the body of each note then they could be printed out as pdfs. But that is tedious. So if you have any suggestions on how to accomplish this I would appreciate it.

Perhaps the simplest and most elegant way to accomplish this (if I'm following you) would be to proceed from the tags, not the notebook. In the app (this doesn't work in the Web client), click on Tags in the left panel, then on one of the tags. This generates a list of notes with that tag. In the list, do Ctrl+A to select all of the notes. In the blue dialog that appears, click the 3 dots for More actions and select Export as PDF. This will yield a dialog with options that include starting each note on a new page. That should produce a PDF file with each note that has this tag covering as many pages as it needs, and with its first page on a new page. Print that PDF and you've got a stack of pages with all the notes pertaining to that tag.

Constraints: If the tags appear in other notebooks too, you'll have to select the notes carefully rather than using Ctrl+A. If there are more than 50 notes for any tag, you'll have to select 50 at a time. Notes that have more than one tag will be printed out once for each tag they have, which might actually be handy.

If you'd be open to a digital alternative for your organizing, you might look at Scrivener. But getting notes, or whole notebooks, from Evernote into Scrivener can also involve some tedium.

Hello, same issue on my computer, bought in May 2022, Evernote has created a folder in "Documents", and I would like to move it elsewhere

I have this on my computer also (Windows 10, with Evernote 10 installed early on, and never Evernote Legacy). The structure is similar to what you show. It seems to hold attachments to notes. I assume this is a standard part of Evernote's setup, and so unlikely to be changeable, except by a symbolic link. May I ask why you need to move it?

Adding my vote to remove QuickNotes. I never use it, it just breaks my flow of thought.

Do you also get to Evernote from the hidden icons thing on the taskbar, like the original poster here? It might be simpler to pin Evernote to the taskbar and just access it from there. That eliminates the Quick Note.

@CalS, I love Directory Opus simply as an Explorer replacement. Never thought to use it in this way. Kudos. But of course it's a Windows program, and you also depend on Windows indexing. This works on a single computer, or maybe a Windows local network. Evernote was never designed to compete with that (as discussed in forum threads asking if it's possible to use EN just on a local computer with no Internet connection running). I use it largely for note-taking, and a small amount of document storage. The ability to work on laptop, desktop, and mobile is just brilliant for me, and I'm only beginning to explore some of the v. 10 features -- got a useful Home page set up, not yet into tasks.

De-drifting the thread, I'm not sure any of us can even speculate about how the Bending Spoons acquisition will affect our specific workflows.

Sounds like you're looking for clickable links to sections of a note. This is not currently a feature of Evernote, but has been requested many times. You can find existing threads on it by searching the forums for "Table of Contents," etc.

I wonder whether Evernote's acquisition by an Italian company, Bending Spoons, will encourage more attention to language flexibility.

I apologize, you did say that at the very beginning. Well, that at least allows you to print from the PDF. But printing as such should work, especially if PDF conversion does. Unless someone here has a suggestion, you may need to contact Evernote's support.

Bending Spoons' photo app (mobile + web) costs about $13 per week. 50% off if you pay yearly = $338 per year. Evernote is quite a complex software with a lot of server traffic and cloud storage, so I would guess that EN future pricing will be minimum at the same level?

But that photo app is highly specialized for professionals in one specific field, who expect to pay that kind of money for professional tools, isn't it? Whereas Evernote is much more of a generalist app, meant for home, school, individual professional, and business use. Two quite different realms of software, so why would the pricing be the same?

You're replying to a long, winding thread originating in a no-longer-existing version of Evernote for Mac, which hasn't had any action since the new v. 10 editor was introduced. (And double-posting too.) Please pick which ancient thread you wish to revive and just post there, and with details about Evernote version and operating system. We're user volunteers here, and it helps to have some focus.

This bug was first reported in 2008: 

 

That bug was about copying info from Web forms and pasting into a version of Evernote on a Mac that no longer exists. This thread is about copying text from YouTube descriptions and having line breaks not appear in Evernote for Windows in 2020, shortly before the introduction of the new Evernote editor. Which specific problem (if any) are you having, and in which version of Evernote on what operating system?

Hi, and welcome to the forums. This discussion is specifically about tasks rather than note-taking, but leveled bulleted lists in a note are easy. Just press Tab after making a new bullet point and it will indent. There are 9 levels possible.

Another option, from within Evernote, convert the presentation to a PDF, and then use Acrobat Reader's autoscroll feature.

Does converting to PDF get all the pages?

I would have to wonder if there was some obstinate engineer with a bizarre obsession with a fifty-note limit

See now, that I can imagine, for some reason.

Specifically, my second brain is too big for my desktop, especially my work one (the purchase seems to have been predicated on the idea that we would keep everything in GDrive). One solution for Evernote (assuming they see this as a problem)would simply be feature parity. Evernote has stuff you choose to sync and stuff you don’t on mobile, but not on the desktop. Introduce selective syncing like mobile and my problem would be solved.

Of course, it's possible to use the v. 10 Windows app without keeping any local copy of the database (Settings ⚙️ > Preferences > Application > Uncheck "Keep a copy..."). Or use the Web version. But that's all or nothing, not selective, and I can see the advantages of selective syncing, especially in a work environment, even apart from disk space availability.

Sometimes failures to attach result from incomplete syncing, either up to Evernote's servers or back down to your device(s). Extra time, and/or a reboot, can help. Glad it's fixed!

I saw in a Youtube video that there were colored titles on notebooks like the inbox and colored tags. How can you do that? If this is a feature that was removed, PLEASE add it back.

That must have been an old video (check the date on it). Coloring was (and remains) a feature of the Legacy Evernote app on Windows (v. 6). I loved it, since it allowed for visual connection of the alphabetically listed notebooks to different projects or areas of activity. However, the color-coding remained only on the local device where it was created; it never synced to other devices, even other Windows computers. It disappeared in the new version, and I don't expect it back.  (We are other users here, not Evernote staff, and, sadly, have no power to add anything back.) FWIW, there have been several discussions of this previously, and one suggestion is to use an emoji at the beginning of the notebook title--see several posts in this thread:
