I've seen many instances, can't say for sure which clients, where notes update for no apparent for reason. Most likely the web client. For me it's just annoying that the sort order changed due to it. Just saying, it happens, so I have some sympathy. You might do a search to get it into view, but don't dare touch the body, once the cursor is in the note anything can happen.

I understand wanting the option, but auto title is one of my favorite features of desktop app. I'm disappointed it's not in the other clients I use.

Sorry to OP for for hijacking the thread. Thanks for the great suggestions.

I'm using the limited free version. The primary limitation is you can only manage 5 projects, but I have a pretty good system for managing projects within Evernote. I have two projects in Nozbe. "Processed" where I move my inbox stuff once I've assigned a category to it. These are reminders that auto update from Evernote. The status of those reminders sync both ways. It would be nice if there was tag/category synching, but I only keep about 5 or so categories in Nozbe as context for todos. The other project is repeating reminders. I create those directly in Nozbe, mostly mundane stuff like the trash needs to be set out Wed. evening. I really like the calendar view as well. I'm so happy with Nozbe I sometimes feel guilty about not paying, but the lowest paid tier is more than Evernote Premium. I would strongly consider paying for an in between level if one ever became available.

Yeah I went down the rabbit hole with that a while back, trying decide what was best, what was adequate, etc., etc. as the mechanism. Then one master password, category passwords, passwords for every file? Then I started chasing other squirrels.... and never made a decision.

I think the nozbe integration to evernote is awesome. LINUX (yeah 5 stars just for that!), iOS, windows, web. I believe android, but not kindle store, web version works well on kindle. Really no discernible difference between apps and web, apps just feel more convenient.

I prefer keeping them separate. The notes themselves can be sorted by creation date or update date. You can bind/categorize them by tags as well as keywords in title. Also, at least with paid subscription searches will find words in the receipt images themselves. If using the desktop app the top list view is very handy for various sorting tag metadata.

Ha, at first I thought maybe this was going to be about apprehension, because that's what I have about going paperless. On the sensitivity scale, there's still a large number of sensitive documents I'm just not comfortable putting in the cloud. I know there's people that might argue most of my stuff is already in the cloud by various providers of insurance, finance etc. However I have little control over much of it, short of putting my money in a hole in the ground; but why go ahead and put it in even one more place of my own volition? Maybe someday. Anyway, I've been pretty fortunate so far regarding the actual subject, my distance vision continues to degrade in tiny increments, but I can still read pretty easily and monitor distance is just right.

I've watched a few of the videos in this series, and regardless of the content I really enjoy the style. To me it's a refreshing change from many of the product videos I watch with regard to my profession.

Awesome! Thanks

Are you on Windows OS? I'm not. The link only shows apple store, google store, microsoft store. I don't see any other links. Microsoft store wants me to sign in then tells me it doesn't see supported device. If I need to be on Windows to have a different download presentation, I suppose I can get it at work on Mon. I'm done with Windows at home. I've mostly been Linux for personal use for the last 11 years or so... When I took over my wife's last laptop, I chose to run Linux in VM solely for the purpose of the Evernote client in Windows. It's the only tool I use that doesn't have native Linux client. Eventually I became so frustrated with the poor performance of Windows I reformatted to Linux only and it's like I got a new laptop with 5x the horsepower. I plan to experiment with Wine, but if I'm ultimately stuck with web clients at home it's by far the lesser evil. Here's a screenshot of what I see below. I thought there used to be a generic right-click save as option.

F#*# me, I seem to be finding that Windows version is only .appx now?

Is there a way to get the Microsoft installer as a downloadable file. The Microsoft cartel seems to only offer a drive by install from MS store.

For a time the default scanner was painfully slow on iPhone, but either due to EN update, iOS update, or whatever; it's been significantly better in recent months. As for other uses, my wife still loves paper lists, so when she's running the show; I scan the list, put in annotate mode for the resulting image and scratch them out with my finger as I go.

This, excellent retrieval, and supporting all my devices is why Evernote stands above the rest. I always look at the suggestions because I'm geeky, but they all lack one or more things of significance, including OneNote of which I considered myself a power user for years. I hopped off that train in frustration a little over a year ago, actually longer, I was in limbo using no tool of this sort for awhile. My OneNote usage was really more of a dying on the vine. One day I realized my physical desktop was littered with paper tablets again, and my download folder was littered with unfiled documents, and I needed to find an alternative. My biggest fear now is I'm on the backside of the curve and EN will go away or change significantly before I retire. The simple fact is even with the best of intentions things bloat and devolve over time. I just have to look in the mirror to see which side of the curve I'm on:)

Frankly, cloud based/web client based technology is a hot mess. I'm dismayed to see the world heading this way. Web tools pretty much suck in general. Supposedly HTML 5 was supposed to mitigate a lot of this, but most software still disclaimers to the big 3, and sometimes 4. Still, even with them results are highly varied; while EN may have some blame to bear here I'm often biased towards blaming the dysfunction of the source technology.

Wow, I'm surprised IOS lacking this much more than Android. Android can copy contents. Then I thought I typically would never duplicate content anyway, I would make a link. My preference is that all files are standalone notes, tagged with context if necessary. Any project or other note that needs a reference just links to it. Then I thought, wow there's not even an option to link. Thanks to @DTLow in another thread, you can do links but it's well hidden. It's in share which is an icon of a head with a plus sign, then still another menu layer deep. I never noticed before since I use Windows desktop for heavy lifting, Android tablet in most other cases, then ios phone for true on the fly capture something through Siri, photo note, or checking off the grocery list.

Some observations about this thread and curiosities about how EN employees perceive requests/rants here. This was started six years ago, prior to previous post it was dead two years. There's been 52 replies, mostly volleys back and forth. 17 followers. 14k views. In other recent posts a 'code snippet' thread had 78k views (didn't bother looking at thread life). While the views are high, far from the top. EN could perceive hey that's a lot of interest; or think wow 14k views and only something less than 52 bothered to comment, and only 17 follow. What percentage of forum members is that? What percentage of total users is that? It's likely better to go direct to EN if paying. With regards to this issue, happened once, obviously edited on two clients before synching. Notified promptly once synched. Resolved easily.

Do you mean something like this? If so hit that refresh and you're saved templates will appear.

Evernote is not unique in this regard. While it's a little frustrating that Chrome is the ONLY (I see above Safari also, I don't play there often) supported browser on a supported operating system for latest version; it plays better across platforms better than just about anyone else. Inconsistent is better than non existent. Specifically with templates I consider it a pretty minor feature. The hardest part about templates for me is imagining the layout. If that works already been done, it's not difficult to replicate. However I tend towards more barebones formatting of notes anyway. Regarding Fire, I'm thankful it's available at all. What I would consider mainstream apps are pretty thin for that device period, but I knew that going in when my wife gave me one as a gift. It's an e-reader first. The degree of tablet like functionality I get out of it for the price is simply amazing.

Another Linux user!

I'm not positive, but I think if you using multiple clients, the OS that client runs on may treat the sort differently. For instance Android and Apple my tag list is !?. and Windows !#&.

@chirmer Thanks for sharing. I generally stay in the snippet view. I know subjective, but I like smaller fonts. Realize it would be nice if adjustable. I've seen some kind of double tag thing in non shared environment. It was only in one of three windows clients I access. I forgot about it, and now realize it's no longer like that. Suspect I shut down and restarted at some point. Assuming Chrome PDF is the engine behind inline viewing in Windows client(?). It's adequate. Wish I could save bookmarks inline is my only complaint. However OneNote is my primary recent point of comparison. It doesn't inline at all.

I'd be curious about that Windows client thread. I'm only months old, but I don't feel that way.

I don't think what you experienced with OneNote is typical, at least of last I was using it. It's likely just like anything else, sometimes things happen. Which is why I find so much discontent on these forums interesting. The grass isn't always greener. I found OneNote to be reliable enough, but over a 5 year period could never it make it work for me as a process. I dabbled with EverNote Basic for a bit, and everything fell into place so well I upgraded to Plus; and still feel it's the best all round app I've used. Maybe there's individual facets that aren't as polished as some other software that focuses on that one facet, but I think EverNote does more across the board, and across more platforms than any other software I've used.
