  1. Well, your dream came true awhile ago. We who liked to jump to the end of our super long docs just need to use CTRL+End on our keyboard, and ta-da, we can see the end! Hope this makes your day!
  2. Yes, well stated. I, too, could definitely use a feature that will conduct a "search within the note for the unchecked boxes". You might be interested in a workaround I discovered today that's quite serviceable: I picked the term "dothis" (without quotes & no spaces) to place after check boxes I created in a doc & before the words that described what I needed to do. I selected that particular term (after experimenting with others) as there are almost no such instances of this letter combo found in my 22k notes that bring up unintended references. (It only showed up on two notes re plant diseases.) It was easy to use the search for dothis for ALL notes, then once I selected the note I wanted, I could easy search within any particular single note, too, with the dothis phrase. When a task was completed, I simply checked the box & also deleted the dothis phrase. Thus, this method can allow anyone to search all notes & then within single notes without having to scan the note visually. This now solves my problem going forward but, of course, isn't useful for all the docs created before this date. Thus, it's still just a workaround - yet I'm delighted to have something that improves my experience henceforth. I hope this helps others.
  3. So happy: in the last day or so, I noted that beautiful YouTube clipping has returned! Thanks you, Evernote!! :-)
  4. Reporting a similar problem . . . The web clipper used to beautifully clip items from YouTube with a specially designated option just for clipping there. Now it is gone. When I clip on YouTube page now, it shows an image of "Up Next", not the relevant current video. Using Chrome.
  5. As to info at the top of article, if you look closely near the beginning of the lower curve on the elephants trunk, it shows it was posted on "Jun 27" (and also "14 min read"). As a separate comment, I can understand it might be difficult to get the date & author, as I have seen that info on pages at the top, the bottom, and even in side bars. I'm just registering my opinion that it's super important to me to obtain the information, whether Evernote can provide it, or I acquire it myself. Given the dialogue that's happened recently, it seems it might be helpful for me to write to the sites I use regularly for which Evernote cannot pick up the data, and ask those sites to make sure they are putting the info in the meta data. However, I assume Evernote has more leverage than I do (as I suspect the sites can see that the Evernote clipper is used) and Evernote's request to ask that the data be moved might be more impactful.
  6. I often select the option of "Simplified Article" when saving via Evernote. However, very frequently (dare I say the majority of the time), the author's name and/or publication date (when shown with the article) is not part of the clip. Therefore, after every clipping, I must peek at my EN file to see whether or not it was included, and then must copy and paste the information if it's not there. This, of course, slows down my work flow, and is downright cumbersome if I'm using EN on anything other than my desktop. Perhaps this improvement request is difficult to achieve due to the great variety of ways that webpages are coded, but I wanted to register that I would be THRILLED if this feature could be improved! Thanks, in advance, Evernote! --------- As an example, today (7/6/2017), I clicked on a link in an email from Evernote (received 6/27/2017) that lead to a wonderful article on Medium about Founder Stepan Pachikov. I wanted to save it for future re-reading, so I clipped it using "Simplified Article." Once again, no references to the publication date and author were acquired (the date is listed both at start and end of article, and the author's name is at the end). I find this ironic since Pachikov is committed to history in context and memories. I'd like to think that in addition to EN's autosaving the date that articles are clipped, that the company would be dedicated to also seeing the importance of recording the date the information is published, and who is responsible for the content.
  7. I'm glad to hear that you are diligently listening! I'm still interested in Evernote offering a toggle/settings choice about how to use your product (I generally prefer top-down, but have some notes that do the reverse). I had a chuckle to myself today when I realized that this very discussion forum is top-down! I appreciate this as it is, indeed, intuitively easier to quickly read through the material this way!
  8. Thanks for the reminder about CTRL+A. That certainly helps!
  9. I very much agree. If one is a professional writer* or researcher; or a student (from high-school age to PhD candidate) who spends hours writing essays & reports; or a business person who writes business plans and proposals; or or any individual who keeps a journal, they each want something that can be written in the standard format & instantly & easily be printed for review (even if they'll eventually transfer the text to other software to reformat it for distribution). I, too, use Evernote every day and love it--except for the mandatory cursor at the top. Granted, I do use it that way too, but some of my most important and frequently used notes require me to scroll to the bottom. Using tips from other users, just today I put text at the bottom of a key note that I can search for with "Control+F" to search and jump there. (I suggest using something like "zzz", or any other term you're unlikely to otherwise ever need to search for.) This workaround for this note and others will keep me assuaged for now. All this to say, is that I'd ADORE having a toggle button where I could choose where the cursor starts in a particular note. It'd be nice if it could be in a default state, but allow the user to alter for individual notes as needed. P.S. I'm guessing that Evernote encourages most folks to put new entries at top because it probably improves syncing speeds. Therefore, our ardent suggestions to allow "bottom feeding" is probably a pickle for them. I also wonder if Evernote might perceive their product to primarily only be for (brief but copious) note collecting, and fully expect users to use other software programs to pull their writing together. Sometimes you just can't be everything! Thanks for listening! I'll keep my fingers crossed! *Examples: journalist, speechwriter, policy analyst, author, public relations staff, marketing staff, screenplay writer, copy writer, corporate writer, technical writer, marketing professional, historian, novelist, poets. -------------------------------- UPDATE on May 30, 2016. I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't realize (but should have) that a standard Windows command works within Evernote! That is, if you click within the note and select both the Control and the END key, then the cursor hops to the end of at particular note. Of course, this won't work on the iPhone, and thus, it would still be nice to have a toolbar option to hop to the end of a long note.
