  1. +1

    Maybe as an option to select note format: Plain text, rich text, Markdown, Odt, Doc, HTML, LaTeX etc.. This would be a killer feature, solve many different and mostly popular feature requests  in one way.

    Plus, there are quite many EN-clones/alternatives out today in mid 2017, that offer many of those above mentioned formats, especially markdown, plain and rich text. Quite many ppl moved to them from EN never looking back.. 

    Not that it matters obviously.

    just my 2 cents

     

  2. Correct me if i am wrong, but shouldnt it be quite easy/doable to compile EN to Linux, when there is a OSX source available? At least easier then make a Windows Store App from a Desktop App?

    This missing of an EN client is still the only reason i dont use Linux as daily driver. And that the way for many years now..

  3. Any news on the subject? 200MB is pretty annoying, and totaly breaks the whole concept of EN being the one place to store everything important. I need to add media files into EN as part of planing of future research. E.g. when i find a piece of media, with a topic/content worth of exploring, i store it in EN.

    I do understand the 10GB limit, and i pay a reasonable price for it. But there is no real need to limit it further. When every player in cloud storage business provides file size limits of some GB to even much more, there is no technical need for a limit, other then preventing the use of too much storage space/abuse, which is not needed for Evernote, because it already has the 10GB/M. upload limit.

    AFAIK EN moved to a new and more modern/scaleable backend last year. Now PLEASE take the time to remove this senseless limits. Its 2017, and in a software so flexible, it should be MY VERY OWN CONCERN how i use the 10GB I PAY FOR.

    To all those who dont need it: Fine, if it doesnt affect you. But please dont be ignorant towards ppl with other needs. 

    And to uploading: AFAIK there is only a Google Drive integration on Desktop, and even that has taken many years to arrive. 

    No MS OneDrive (Which is also a market leader, especially in professional/business use) or Dropbox or WebDAV. 

    Again, its 2017, and supporting all major services / market leaders is a must these days; On mobile, but also on Desktop.

    All this time wasted on BS side projects.. Cant help myself but wonder, what EN could be these days, if those time and money would have been invested in the core product.

    And now, OneNote is catching up at a much faster pace, then EN can fix their core app and create new features.

  4. Still it would be great to have some dedicated buttons etc in the GUI. 

    Most users are not powerusers, and the "tagging" feature has many problems in understanding it for many of the more basic users, those many threads on tagging shows this clearly i think.

    Many todays "digital natives" are happy, when they can use app stores, know how "swiping" on their phone works, and run into problems with everything, that goes beyond the superficial GUI of an App. Either you take them by the hand, and help them use the full potential of your product, or they will either not be happy to pay you, or pay and then turn away disappointed. 

    Studys show GUI design is one of, maybe THE most important factor for the success of an App, even for more advanced users. Most ppl dont know Googles search operators, why should the know ENs? They most likely have not the first clue, that such things exist. 

    You improve the GUI for this majority of possible customers, you can only win. Or you accept a focus on power users, and loose most other user bases, like M$ now seems to do. I think there is no reason not to combine both sides. An understandable UI even for not tech interested ppl with no need for cryptic seeming commands AND the potential power and config options for us with a more complex workflow which is often grown over many years. 

    Most ppl hated DOS and hate CMD, why should they see search operators, which need to be learned before, as a vitale option for their workflow.. 
    Just like with Linux: For most ppl (Not for all power users, yes) this would be a great and good working option. Often better as with Windows.

    But the subtle fear, that sometimes there could be the challange of typing into a command promt, keeps them on distance, and with M$. 

    Again, seemigly small things end up much bigger then thought before.
