Don't know why I didn't think of this earlier. On an Android phone, Evernote's photos are available in the Gallery, with everything else. On my device, there is an Evernote album in Gallery, which has every pic I've ever taken in Evernote, including, it seems, photos I deleted and notes I deleted. Hopefully, you can find the photos there and reattach them to the notes. But it's still very troublesome that EN managed to lose them in the first place.

Hmm. The general way Evernote works is that a note on your laptop is synced to the EN servers so that you can then access it on your phone, tablet, desktop, on a public computer, etc. There should not be a difference between a local version of the note and the synced/server version, unless, as you say, you've worked on the note without Internet access. Once you have access again, the note should sync automatically. At any rate, I would assume that the Ctrl+Copy Note Link method would create a usable link to a still-unsynced note as it exists on your laptop even without net access. Forgive me for being pedantic, but are you sure you're holding down Ctrl while selecting Copy Note Link? If you don't, then indeed the link you get might not work while you're offline. Sorry if I'm being dense; I'm just a little confused about the scenario.

Hi @Adrian46, and welcome to the forums! At the moment, the problem is that this is the Android Help forum rather than Windows Help, and the instructions offered earlier were for the Android app. (Evernote's interface looks quite different on different platforms.) But given what you've said, I think the following should work for you. In the Note List (the middle column) in the Evernote Windows program, click on the note you want to link to and open the Note menu (or just right-click the note). Hold down the Ctrl key and select Copy Note Link. Holding down Ctrl produces a link of the form evernote:///view/12345678/blah-12345-blah/ and puts it on the Windows clipboard. This is a link that will open the Evernote program (if it's not visible) and open the note in question in its own window. Then it's just a matter of creating a shortcut on the desktop and pasting this link into it. It's the evernote:///view/ at the start of the link that is essential. Hope this is what you need.

Don't forget to click the up arrow at the top of this page to vote for the request.

What happens if you tap on the icon? Is there an option to open an image? Also, check the note on the the Evernote Web version, which is sort of the master version: are the images there?

Glad it worked for you on Windows. I agree that this is something that ought to be possible across platforms. But of course Android and the Web and iOS and so forth are all very different, and there are features that are currently available in one context and not in others.

On my Mac, I right click on the table, then Tables > Delete There's no such possibility in Windows (at least not in my not-fully-updated version). However, I find that if I place my cursor immediately after the table, so that the cursor's height is the height of the table, and press Backspace, the entire table is highlighted/selected; and if I press Backspace again, it is deleted.

I agree that this is a very serious issue. In general, the Evernote programmers (like all prudent software developers) don't comment on when certain features will be added or restored or improved. But this really is a necessity for many millions of users and potential users, and in this case silence may (perhaps unfairly) give the impression of lack of interest. In a previous post, I did suggest a couple of workarounds: But they are only workarounds, not really solutions.

The issue is in the Chrome-based editor that Evernote introduced last year. See these posts: It's a real pain, and I hope that as they improve the editor they will bring this back. Be aware that the S-Pen does work in the non-Chrome quick note creator in the Notification pull-down; and that the Samsung keyboard has its own built-in handwriting-to-text feature which you can use in EN, as in this post:

@meirjean, this very serious topic is being discussed in this thread:

Sorry. At the top of the page, there are two large arrows, one pointed up and the other down. Click the Up arrow.

Dave, just to save Matt a little time, there is currently no way to do this. It's been requested numerous times; a little searching would take you to one of the two or three threads already present on the Android Product Feedback forum, e.g.: Your best bet is to go there and add your vote to that request.

I haven't used the business card scanning feature very much, but what I find is that (a) it is not possible to add any text except in a text field that is already present (e.g., Name, Email, etc.); but (b) in those text fields, I can add and delete text as I wish. Some cards that I've scanned previously have a Notes field, and in such a field I can write whatever I want. (I can't remember if I added that field manually when scanning the card, or whether it was created for me.) Even without a Notes field, it is possible to type at length into an existing field (e.g., Name, Title, Company). So it's not that the business card notes can't be edited at all; but it is definitely impossible to do free-form editing, because they are not free-form notes in the first place. Again, this is based on limited experience and testing.

@kfreels, I strongly suspect that the feature was not removed just to remove it, but disappeared when they changed to a new, Chrome-based editor. (That's right, ultimately it is Google's fault, just like every thing else , except for what's Microsoft's fault. ) They're currently working on improving the editor, but of course I don't know whether re-including this is part of that process.

Thank you, @Matt W.. It was apparently an over-eager or overly optimistic support employee who told me some time back that it would be fixed in the "next" update. Should have taken that with a grain of salt. But it is good to know that it's in the hopper. I don't know what all else is in there with it, but this one is pretty dysfunctional, and very consistent. I'll look forward to your updates, which I do appreciate.

You have to contact Evernote support, and you can only do this if you are a Premium user. If you are, go to https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/requests/new. Be sure you're logged in to Evernote; even then, it can be fiddly to get this page to work. Click through the drop-downs, e.g.: What can we help you with?: Technical Issues Select a topic: Other Tell us more.: Report a bug A "Submit ticket" button should appear (you may need to scroll down); click on that to supply the information.

Quite right, Nic. I just updated to the very latest v. 7.9.8.2, and the problem still happens. Pretty annoying when support promises something and it's not delivered. I way rather have them say, "It's on the list. Sooner or later." At least I know not to hold my breath.

Please see the note right above yours. It is a little crazy. It is not necessarily Evernote's fault. It would be good to be able to remove links; but if it's an OS issue, it may not be possible. I find that if I select something (even a space) just before or after the number, I can expand the selection to get the number.

It's always hard--impossible really--to know why a feature is removed, especially such a handy one. They redid the Android editor; conceivably, I suppose, the new version couldn't handle this. Be sure to click the up-arrow at the top of this page to vote up the request.

@Carl-L-ND, that's a great use case for these features. Did you click the up-arrow at the top of this page to vote it up? WRT the horizontal line, see this request (and vote it up too):

Well, this is beyond my knowledge at this point. I hope that someone else here who is more knowledgeable may have an idea.

That looks like a message that the browser displays. What happens if you click on "View Certificate"? It might give you an option to accept the Website (presumably Evernote) permanently, despite what the browser perceives as a security certificate issue. That should prevent the alerts from popping up in the future.

Look for this: Yours may be all black; I think it turns green when you vote for it.

I agree that Recent Notebooks ought to be an option in settings--especially since it never actually seems to show the most recently used notebooks. Those who want this feature should please click the up arrow at the top of the page to vote in support of it.

I think it's an OS issue. I see it, for instance, in the stock e-mail app and in a calendar app, as well as in Evernote.
