  1. I want this issue resolved too. It's frustrating that I cannot connect to my productivity apps the way I expect them to, and that's one of the driving values of my Evernote usage. Something to note, this will only get worse before it gets better. While Evernote/Bending Spoons, I'm sure, still intends to update the API it would be at this point a whole new API might make sense to eliminate much technical debt. (Of course, they may intend to stay with Thrift.) They will need to wrestle with which API protocol to choose (again), which would likely break all the existing integrations that don't update to the new API protocol, and specs. Realistically, the existing dev.evernote.com isn't going to be touched until they decide to do something with the API. It hadn't been updated in years, why start now? Lol. I'm saying all this to temper everyone's expectations around this (as an outsider looking in) because it's a heavy lift that doesn't seem to be top-of-mind for Bending Spoons at this time, and when it does hit the roadmap it's going to be like the transition from Legacy to v10+!
  2. Hi Ray

    Could you point me in the direction to find answers to my question below?

    I am looking for advice as in "best practices". I am brand new to EN and my main need is for filing PDF, Spreadsheets, word docs and receipt images for fast retrieval. I am going through the substantial tasks of getting all my data into EN. Majority of my data is PDFs or emails so no problem there. It is the "word docs" I am struggling with. My long term goal is to delete original documents off my drive and end up just having copies of these files in EN. For the first year at least I will de-risk things by keeping all the originals on my drive as a backup but not saving any changes to them. With the Excel files I can see the information in the note when I do an attachment without having to launch the spreadsheet so again no problem. However with Word Docs I can't see the contents of the file so I believe that my only option is to save a PDF copy attach it AND the word file (to be able to modify it later on). I am a "Personal user" but would upgrade to "Professional" if it there is something in that package that might reduce the keystrokes. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

     

    Thanks in advance. Cheers John

  3. Do you have an ad blocker built into your firewall, router, etc.? For example, my Firewalla edge security device has a built-in ad blocker. The next step would be to update you 10.35 and see if with the update the issue goes away. 🤞🏼
  4. @DaJoLo, good to meet you. Something like this window should appear. I wonder, do you have any malware/antivirus/security software running on your device? If so, make an exception to Evernote and/or Google Drive (which may require evernote.com and drive.google.com URI exceptions, not sure; that's a question for your security software vendor) and see if that doesn't allow the window to display.
  5. I must never have used this in Evernote Legacy, but can you detail the behavior that is different in Evernote 10+? The behavior I am understanding in Evernote Legacy as: I take a document (for sake of argument, a Microsoft Word document called Example.docx) from my Documents folder in Finder and drag into a note in Evernote. Then, I open that copy of Example.docx in Word, make edits, save and close back into the note. Now, I navigate to my Documents folder in Finder and that Example.docx will also be changed by my edits. Is that the behavior you're saying Evernote Legacy had? Thanks in advance for clarifying.
  6. I posted the same request for Evernote Desktop on Windows. If anyone works across desktop platforms as I do, please feel free to upvote that request, too.
  7. Per @Stacey's well-crafted request for Evernote Desktop (Mac), Request: Expand "view as" options to multiple attachment types, I'm making the same request here for Evernote Desktop (Windows). I searched here in the forum, but I couldn't see one that discussed this feature in v10 or later. Briefly, just as you can use the More Actions ( ⁝ ) menu on a PDF attachment to View As... Attachment, Single Page, or All Pages, I think it would be greatly useful to get such a preview of Microsoft Office documents (Word, Excel and PowerPoint), as well as Google Drive documents (Docs, Sheets and Slides). Thanks!
  8. Sadly, at present, I just looked in my updated Evernote Mobile app on iPadOS and this option isn't there. So, I'll presume this doesn't exist on iOS either. Once they bring widgets to iOS/iPadOS hopefully they'll have parity to Android Widgets and will give you the ability to pin a note to your home screen too. 🤞🏻
  9. We've been on a note-taking topic streak on ProductivityCast lately, if anyone is interested. We mention Evernote in at least a couple of these episodes. 🐘

  10. The applications don't seem to have been updated in quite some time, so I'm thinking they are not going to work with any newer versions of Evernote (v10+). I have recommended Saferoom to others and now I'm sad to see another free application not monetize and go defunct. I messaged the developer with a link to this thread to see if they'll respond here with a definitive answer.
  11. Unfortunately, it's not working for me across multiple platforms (Web, macOS and Windows), accounts. I'll submit a support ticket. Thanks.
  12. Hi, @Tom Donohue Has this been logged as a bug? I was demonstrating Evernote today and found the sourceurl operator is not working in Evernote Web nor Desktop. I haven't tested Evernote Mobile.
  13. What's the status of rotating PDF's in Annotate Mode? I see that you can Rotate Clockwise and Rotate Counterclockwise from the options that present, but they're grayed out on single page and multi-page PDFs.
  14. Agreed, and I hope you can add an option to turn this additional link security/transparency measure off for all aspects of the app (Web, desktop and mobile). In many environments, this is unnecessary and confusing to Evernote users when other security measures are already in place. It's fine for unwitting users, but for those of us and those we support, we should be able to deactivate this. Thanks!
