@stevecu You may already be aware of this (idk), but don't confuse "batch" with "bash". A batch file (or ".bat") is a Windows based script where as a bash file ( or ".sh") is for Macs. A batch file won't work with Macs (as far as I know).

@stevecu Agreed, it doesn't fix it, but if EN doesn't plan to implement it, why give EN users the impression it's coming down the pipeline. Like "agsteele" I've developed a similar approach to this issue; although not ideal, it works. I simply got tired of waiting, but still hopeful it will be re-implemented.

@PinkElephant I agree with you that support should be contacted. But at least for Windows users, "Coming soon" is still there. So...Problem not solved.

@PinkElephant Different users, with different needs and different OS' took advantage of different features in the old Evernote. There are features on the old version of EN I didn't see the benefit for either, but I can't and won't speak for everyone. Providing alternatives or workarounds doesn't negate the fact that this specific feature has been in the "Coming Soon" status for quite some time. Workarounds are also no substitute for in-app simplicity. Until this is removed, or implemented, users will continue to question its status. To your credit though, this is something which should be addressed to EN directly. Since my initial post, I've since realized this is not the right forum to inquire about missing features.

There is a workaround to this (albeit, not as elegant as anyone might want). All screenshots taken through the Windows "Snipping Tool" are saved to the "Screenshots" folder which is located in the "Pictures" folder of your PC. You can use Evernote's "Import Folder" feature to automatically import the screenshot into Evernote. There are some drawbacks, which can be circumvented with some scripting via a Windows batch file and the use of "Power Toys" (which is free). Drawback 1 You're stuck with the windows shortcut key for the "Snipping Tool" which is Win+Shift+S Solution With "Power Toys" (which can be downloaded, for free from the "Microsoft Store") you can navigate to Keyboard Manager > Shortcuts. From there you can assign a new shortcut. I've chosen Win+` This was the shortcut I had assigned for Evernote's screen clipping tool. Now, whenever I type key combination Win+` it automatically translates it to Win+Shift+S Basically, it's a Shortcut key combination (Win+`) which fires off another Shortcut key combination (Win+Shift+S). Works really well too. Drawback 2 if you don't routinely delete the screenshots in this folder, it will re-import all of them. Solution Unfortunately there's currently no option to remove the source file automatically.....well, technically there was, but it's had a "(COMMING SOON)" status for over a year, so I've begrudgingly translated that to "(NEVER GONNA HAPPEN)". My own issues with Evernote set aside, you can write a batch file in Windows to automatically delete these screenshots routinely. I have mine deleting evetime I log in, before I log out, and twice (on a schedule) throughout the day. If anyone would like an example of my batch file, let me know and I can try to write up some documentation. Drawback 3 Delay. There is a slight delay with using the Import folder in comparison to the old screen clip. Solution There's no workaround that I can think of to expedite it, which means the only solution, is patience.

@agsteeleI appreciate your decisive and diplomatic response to an obviously agitated user. I know how to do this through Windows as well. Even with how easy it is to do so, I'm more irritated with the dearth of Evernote's attention to detail on older features and speed, killed by the roll-out last October. The year long vow to make this particular feature available again doesn't bode well either.

Yes, it doesn't cause any damage, and yes, there are other ways of accomplishing this task through other avenues. It's not a matter of the little effort involved in routinely cleaning out this folder either. I get how easy that is. I can easily write a batch file and attach it to the Task Scheduler to accomplish this, the point is, I shouldn't have to. If this is a feature nobody really needs , why have it in the first place? Or better yet, why dangle the preverbal carrot of the "COMMING SOON" status in perpetuity? If they're not going to re-implement it, then just remove it. Also there are a lot of features in Evernote which I feel "nobody really needs", but who am I to speak for the large Evernote user base? What might be useful for some, may not be for others. Admittedly I posted this in a state of frustration after several features on the Windows platform failed, or were slow going, one right after another (and it wasn't the first time). I should have chosen my words more carefully, but Evernote really botched this roll-out, and I know I'm not the only one who thinks so. In summary, if this feature is not necessary, then don't give us the impression that it is.

Okay Evernote, It's been over a year since the "New" Evernote was forced down our throats with brand new price increases. All other issues aside, when is the "Remove source file" option actually going to be re-implemented? It's been sitting in this "COMING SOON" status for a not-so-"COMING SOON" duration. (I can't understand why so much focus is being put on new features and not enough on fixing old ones, which were broken, or removed with the v10 update)

Click here Version: 6.25.1.9091 (thank you CalS for providing this link) Click on the "Download" button at the top right It may download "OperaSetup.exe" first, but don't run it, and simply ignore it, it'll eventually download the older version Run the install You'll now have both versions available to you Personally, I'm going to keep both versions active so I can check in on the new version periodically to see if they're changed anything.

This saved me the trouble of having to look for the old install. You have no idea how much I appreciate this.

This is incredible. I can't even delete a note on the Windows app anymore. Right click and then select "Move to Trash", or perform a key combination of "Ctrl + Backspace". Really Evernote? The "Delete" button on the keyboard wasn't sufficient? I work in the technical space and Evernote was a Godsend to me, due to some of it's key features like Screen Snips and Import folders. Screen Snips were specifically critical for when I was remoting in to a client's machine and annotating screen shots of issues or report modifications on the spot. Now, that feature, along with a host of others (mentioned at the top of this string) have disappeared. Noticeable, and meaningful, crucial features which are now missing: No Screen Snip No more Import Folder Unable to "Save As" (which I use to Save to a PDF file for internal and external Knowledge Base articles) Unable to Email a note The top two are in red because I use these two features everyday, multiple times a day. The Screen Snip has really given me cause for concern and am now going to try and see about reverting Evernote back to the older version. If I can't do that or if I don't see any positive feedback from the Evernote team regarding re-implementing these features, I have to start planning a migration to another platform (likely One Note). I loved Evernote and would praise it's capabilities to anyone, but after this downgrade (or premature release), I'm having a hard time convincing myself that this is viable option for me.
