  1. In his New Year blog post Federico said Sadly none of the bugs that effect me daily have been solved. Obviously my uses of Evernote do not involve "prominent inefficiencies". Apparently insufficient people want to search after filtering or use an internal link in a note which happens to be in a filtered or searched for list.
  2. I spoke too soon. I now have to login again if I have closed the browser. Somebody has obviously decided they need to upgrade security - this issue and forcing me to have a stronger password
  3. Nice trick. The other thing I sometimes find helpful is deleting the due date and then putting it in again.
  4. Strange. Try selecting the table first so that it has a light grey border around the outside, although I didn't need to do that. You could also try the web version to eliminate it being problems with your instalation.
  5. At least there is an option to switch that off but I can't get my green links back. I know Bending Spoons, for reasons of corporate identity, seem to want to remove as much green as possible so I'd be perfectly happy with any way of distinguishing internal and web links., without me having to come up with some manual system.
  6. Which version of Evernote? On the web and desktop versions you simply hover over a line, it goes blue and the cursor changes. You can then click and drag.
  7. It generally works fine for me. However if your link is to a sub section within a collapsed section it will not work. This is also a problem with the new and related internal TOC function.
  8. For me the most unreliable tasks are those which repeat a certain time after completion. I now tend to avoid using these.
  9. I had the same issue. I have a google email but I have a separate password for EN. Hitting continue with Google worked fine. It seems to just be confusing/wrongly named. That's my experience anyway.
  10. I don't hold out much hope for this but have you tried going back to an earlier version of the note?
  11. Doesn't work for me. I get an unholy mess of correct results, results that have the letters followed by others and results where Find on the page can't even find the result!
  12. This has now been a problem for years. The only workaround is to copy and paste each image individually. I suppose you could save all the images from the note in one go but you would still need to paste them into your new document individually.
  13. Definitely not working for me. As you say, it works on notebooks. But if you click "Notebooks" and then select a stack the notes are not in order by title.
  14. I'd like to know how you create a list of tags using a customised filter. I thought the tags widget on the desktop just listed the tags in order of the number of notes containing that tag. The Home screen on desktop/web is now called "My Widgets" on mobile and you access it from settings (even if you don't want to change the settings). So click the icon at the top left of the screen and choose My widgets
  15. As I've noted above, to be able to search having filtered you have to ensure that the filter appears underneath the search box. One way to do this is to force a reload but this is unreliable, slow and has unwanted side effects like collapsing the tag hierarchy in the sidebar and removing task filters in the task view. I have now discovered a much better workaround. Simply collapse and expand the sidebar. (F10 twice). This is simple, fast and always works (for me at least). So to summarise the process Filter by tag (e.g. click a tag in the sidebar, use the filter menu, search for a tag in the main tag window or use ctrl+Q). Do not search for the tag in the main search as this is the one case where it works properly - but only one tag is ever displayed so it's not a useful workaround for me The blue tag lozenge appears but there is no indication of a filter underneath the search bar. Press F10 twice and magically the tag appears under the search bar. You can now add your search term and hit enter. Nothing will happen! However when you go back into the search bar and press enter again it works as expected. Remember, if you hadn't used the F10 x2 trick initially nothing would have happened either. However when you hit enter for the second time it would have searched for the term but dropped the filter. This seems to work whenever there is a mismatch between the filter lozenges and the search window. e.g here there is only one blue lozenge but EN is confidently telling me there are two filters added. Sometimes F10 x2 reconciles the filter and the search and then when you repeat the process that got you there in the first place it works as expected.
  16. For me the tasks widget has always been completely useless because of the inability to filter or sort. In the past it seemed to be pick up the sort order from the My tasks tab of the task view. Now it seems to be stuck (unless it's taking a very long time ot refresh) on alphabetical.
  17. Another approach would be to tag the webclip on creation in the webclipper dialog box. If most of your webclips are bookmarks you could even make the "bookmark tag" a default so you just needed to delete it if it wasn't a bookmark. Obviously not ideal as it's prone to human error. Perhaps a monthly review to try to spot errors. contains:webclip tag:bookmark contains:webclip -tag:bookmark For the record I too would like the facility to filter by webclipper bookmarks but I really can't see it happening anytime soon - hence the suggestions of partial solutions to the problem.
  18. Some time ago I tried to solve this problem. The best I came up with was to find all webclips and then exclude things that definitely wouldn't be webclipper bookmarks. This is based on my usage of the webclipper - probably 90% bookmarks and pdfs. It still has plenty of false positives but is better than just looking for all webclips. source:web.clip* -resource:image/jpeg -resource:application/pdf http I think this is pre V10 so it is possible that the contains: argument for the advanced search syntax might allow further exclusions.
  19. There no longer seems to be an option to "remember me for 30 days". Having said that I'm not getting the issue. Whether it currently remembers that I had asked it to remember my password I can't tell.
  20. Previously Evernote only included words that started with some characters if you appended a *. Now it (generally) seems to include words starting with the characters whether you add a * or not. The only thing I can think of is to specifically exclude the words you don't want. You could progressively build up the search as you come across a word . So in your case you would end up with lap -laptop -lapping The use of an asterix might help. So in my testing teach -teacher* excuded both teacher and teachers
  21. Thanks @ferol and @Jon/t. I missed that. I guess my hack still works if you want to download attachments from multiple notes, incase that is what the OP wanted.
  22. Just add it to the list of new V10 features that do not work in the shared web view. e.g. Embeded YouTube videos Checklists (checkboxes still work) Inline code Surprisingly tasks are OK
  23. Probably not. If you look at the structure of the link it is a full EN link with a bit for the appropriate section.
  24. What happens if you click files in the sidebar and search for untitled attachment?
  25. The standard hack is to export the file, files or notebook as html. Then within the download folder you will find a folder that contains all the attachments. As far as I can see the new files list does not help, because there is no way of filterng the files by note or notebook name.
