I'm trying to include in a note a link to a note in another app, Agenda.

This link is provided through an URL that begins with agenda:// as is common among applications that allow linking to their content (I believe Evernote has its own evernote:// system)

Unfortunately, when I try to link to such a URL in Evernote, Evernote does not recognize anything starting with agenda:// as a URL. It looks like Evernote only allows links to http urls (and Evernote urls I guess). 

it would be very convenient if Evernote would allow linking to application specific URLs, such as those that begin with agenda://

I think this has been fixed in iOS 10.4

Say you have the main Evernote window opened, with an active search.

If you drag-n-drop a file on the Evernote icon in the Dock, in order to import the file as a new note in Evernote, nothing happens right away.

You have to first exit search mode by clearing the search field for the file import to activate. Once you do that, a new window pops up with the file within, as expected.

I would expect that drag-n-dropping would activate the file import right away.

I often leave Evernote opened at the end of the workday. Often on my last opened search.

When I come back in the morning, Evernote is still running but is non-responsive in some weird ways. For instance it is often impossible to switch to another existing note: the note pane remains blank.

If I quit Evernote and relaunch it, everything goes back to normal.

On my iPad, scrolling the note list in Card view leads to the preview content of the card jumping around, which is very disorienting and does not help at all locating a desired note.

See attached.

Same thing is happening on my iPhone in card view.

This has happened since Evernote 10.0, and the video is from Evernote 10.2 (1108075).

This appears to work as expected in Evernote 10.5. So I'm happy!

Today I drag-n-dropped a keynote file into an Evernote note, as I've already done many times in the previous < 10.0 Mac version of Evernote.

Evernote v.10.3.7 told me I can't import this file type, please try zipping it before importing (see first screenshot, in French but you get the idea).

Zipping my file would prevent me from opening the file directly from Evernote, which is what I usually do.

I *know* it is possible to import keynote files within Evernote as I have plenty of notes with this type of file (see the other screenshot). I can open such .key files just fine from the notes where they exist, but apparently I can't create new ones. 

Please fix this by allowing us to import any type of file in Evernote.

Hi @Vincent Noelinteresting choice to move more than 100 notes into another notebook. Can you please tell us why so many notes needed to move at one time? Does this fit into your regular workflow on Evernote? 

FYI I sometimes rethink the organisation of my notebooks and when that happens I move tons of notes from one notebook to another (for instance merging or splitting notebooks). 

Moving hundreds of notes from one notebook to another has never been a problem in previous versions of Evernote.

A related problem is that since you can't select more than 50 notes at a time, you can't act on all the notes at once within a specific notebook. This is actually quite frequent if you want to tag plenty of notes at once.

I had just clicked on a notebook in the sidebar and tried to select all notes by hitting cmd-A.

This selected the text of the entire window, including the interface text.

To select all notes I had to first select a note -- at that point cmd-A worked as it should, and selected all the notes.

Hey all,

I tried to move > 100 notes from one notebook to another. Only 50 notes were moved.

It looks like there is a limit on the number of notes that can be moved in one go. This looks like a regression from version < 10.x.

In addition, the interface does not make clear at all that only 50 notes are going to be moved. This can lead to problems.

IPadOS, last evernote. I have an inbox notebook and 4 stacks.

In the sidebar, where the stacks should be there is a large blank section.

Hello folks, 

Evernote for Mac 7.13 Beta 1 is now available for download here.

Fixed:

• Security Update
• Note title and note content no longer overlap for very long user names
• Extra whitespace is now trimmed in Space names and Space descriptions

Thank you for testing and your feedback!

Is this still the right place to be informed about new Evernote Mac betas? There's been more than 2 months since the last beta.

Are things happening somewhere else?

This looks like a really well thought out feature. The implementation appears very solid. I can’t wait to use it. 

Kudos to everyone that worked on this. Also thanks for making the design process public, I really enjoy this series. 

The Evernote editor is already very powerful and flexible (on the mac), these changes look like nice improvements. The checkbox/outlining stuff is great. Nice!

I too find the focus on the web version scary. Right now what I find most useful in Evernote compared to other notes offering is :

• extremely fast -- I can scroll through *all my notes* with virtually no lag on my mac, there are > 2500 notes. 
• an informative overview layout -- in the Expanded Card View all my notes appear as thumbnails of what's inside, including images/PDFs and file icons for all the rest. In fullscreen I can show a 11 x 6 grid of notes = 66 notes. This is very helpful when trying to understand what is where. The current evernote web shows ~11 notes at a time, with no thumbnail.
• I can put any kind of file in an evernote note, even when evernote does not understand the file format (e.g. netCDF files). Evernote will not complain
• I can open several notes at the same time in their own window from the main evernote window, for instance to access multiple reference notes at the same time. This is hard to do from web-based solutions like Notion or the evernote web version
• Anything that quicklook understands is previewed in an evernote note, including powerpoints, keynotes, excel files. 

Unless I'm mistaken, all of these advantages are lost when switching to the current web-based solution.

Great to hear! Thanks to you.

In a Card view (Expanded or not), I have a note selected towards the bottom of the list. For instance, the oldest note when sorted by most recent. In other words, the window is scrolled all the way down.

When I select a note shown on screen and move it to another notebook (by drag-n-drop, or by Note > Move Note to...), the notes auto-scroll all the way up : as soon as the note is moved, I am shown the most recent notes.

Because of this effect I lose the place where I was in the list of note Cards, and I have to find that place again. This makes it very difficult to go through a large notebook and sort its notes into another notebooks efficiently.

I would expect the correct behavior would be to maintain the place in the list of note Cards when moving one of the notes. I think this correct behavior is the one implemented in snippet view, side list view and top list vewi.

For a few days thumbnails for PDF files within notes have not been appearing in the note list. I see plenty of things like on the attached screenshot -- a big grey file. It is not helpful when searching for a note.

It feels line thumbnails eventually appear, maybe once the notes have been through Evernote on my Mac but I can't be sure. 

Two comments:

• I like the Mac UI, so I like this new web UI that mirrors the Mac UI almost perfectly. It's an obvious upgrade from the previous version.
• I am concerned this new web UI only includes the "Snippet View" for the notes list. I mostly use Evernote for its "Expanded Card View" that I find much easier to parse visually than the usual lists that almost all notes app include. I hope its absence from the web UI does not mean Evernote plans to remove it from the Mac app...

 One nice feature of shared notebooks is uploads are charged to the allowance of the notebook owner (your premium account); you're sharing your upload limit with the family

It is worth pointing out that this is the opposite of what e.g. Dropbox does, where everyone needs to have enough space to store the shared stuff.

On this version of the iOS evernote app, if I attempt to send a tweet to evernote using the evernote share sheet from within the Twitter app, this is what I get in evernote :

But the drawback is, that I have to send my files back to Evernote – which is also quite time consuming/annoying as there‘s no way to send it back to the same (originating) note.

My feelings exactly. 

Something I often need to do: annotate a PDF on my iPad with my pencil so I can send it back to someone, for instance a form I need to fill.

Being a good evernote user, I naturally want to do this through evernote. However, when I attempt to do it right now, this is what happens:

• I select the note with the PDF within
• I tap on the PDF, it opens and fills the screen
• I reach for the pen and attempt to write on the PDF -- the PDF moves instead. Evernote thinks I'm just using the pencil instead of my finger to move around the PDF. Not good.
• I tap the "annotate" button up right. The PDF re-opens in a somewhat different layout (why ?)
• Using the pen, I attempt to write on the PDF -- the PDF moves instead. Not good.
• I select the "pen" tool: I first tap the "arrows" icon at bottom-right, then I tap the "pen" icon.
• I finally can annotate the PDF. 

In total, once the PDF is opened on screen I need to tap three things (annotate->arrows->pen) before I'm able to annotate the PDF. Instead, as soon I put the pen on the screen Evernote could assume that I'm trying to write on the PDF. I imagine that it's the main reason why people would use their pencil on screen. That change would save me three taps and two confusing user experiences when I end up moving around the PDF with my pen (twice in very short succession).

In addition:

• the pencil annotation engine is weak, it has trouble following you when you write too fast (PDF expert has no problem) so your writing often ends up hard to understand. It is just not an enjoyable experience overall so I generally try to avoid it (even though I want to use Evernote)
• when you are in annotation mode and writing with the pencil, you can't just flip pages using your finger -- Evernote thinks you want to annotate the PDF with your finger as well. I know you can use both fingers but at the point when you remember it you often have already drawn lines over the PDF with your finger (that you need to undo). It seems pretty safe to me to assume that if you are annotating a PDF with your pencil and suddenly you use your finger it means you're trying to change the page. Again PDF expert does this right.
• If you close the PDF and open another one in annotation mode, the tool selection goes back to "move" instead on staying on the last-used "pen". Confusion again.

My suggestions would be:

• at least when the user enters annotate mode switch back to the last used tool.
• in annotate mode, if the user is using a pencil to annotate, finger taps should move the PDF around
• if the user taps an opened PDF with the pencil, switch to annotate mode with the pen tool selected.

I too would like the ability to modify the creation date on iPad, as it is possible to do today on the Mac.
