@Chris Booker You should receive mobile and desktop notifications for the reminders you've set on a task (assuming you've allowed notifications from Evernote on your specific OS). We are looking into implementing a daily email for Tasks that are due.

I'm updated to 7.29 - but I still got the Tasks add-in.

I believe we had a small percentage of users receive the option in 7.29 before more widely releasing in 7.30

It's ugly, as you see the link location versus being able to modify the text of your choice (e.g. the word 'link') to be your link, but it works.

We've definitely looked into allowing you to link text in a title and it's something we want to do along with overall text formatting in titles. Some changes we are working on now might allow for this in the future, so we may revisit tackling this.

@Brooksking70, as @agsteele noted, this has been discussed before. Our team talked about it as we were developing recurring tasks and we had opinions both ways on whether to reset immediately or at the end of the day (i.e. midnight). I think users would likely have differing opinions as well. Nonetheless, I will pass this on to our Product Manager to consider whether there is more we can do, such as offering a setting to choose. But the delayed reset may have technical complications based on the current implementation.

@Roger F Just to be clear, if you open the "My Tasks" tab and change the sorting there, it will be reflected in the widget as well. If that wasn't clear, do you think it would be helpful to include the same sorting options in the widget as well? Or are you wanting additional sorting options in the widget that are not currently available in "My Tasks", such as by note?

@Roger F right now the Tasks Home widget uses the same sorting algorithm as the My Tasks tab in the Task pane. We have previously discussed adding a separate sort option for the widget. I will bring it up again to my PM and team.

@ShopgirlThanks for the feedback! I'm not in charge of the Calendar widget, but I have passed your feedback on to the team.

It would be great if Evernote had ITS OWN INTERNAL Calendar, and we would not have to use a 3rd party cal.

The plan would be to bring your tasks into the Calendar widget in Home. This would be independent of whether you have connected an external calendar. 

Thanks @lost_gweedo! So far, I'm not anticipating any major changes in direction. I manage the Tasks development team and we're continuing with our product roadmap for the time being. There's some cool features in the pipeline.

Again, I caveat this with not being an expert on search...

But basically, your local v10 client runs a lighter version of the server-based indexing service. It won't do any resource-intensive indexing like attachment processing (i.e. OCR), but it does do its own indexing and not just getting a copy from the server (though I believe this happens as well).

So as I noted, something like backlinks indexing can be implemented locally.

@Paul A. a local indexing service already exists in more recent versions of v10, so you won't generically see a performance improvement for all searches. Specifically for backlinks, potentially (would need to check with devs on that). I'm not intimately familiar with the local search implementation myself, so sorry if I'm somewhat vague.

@AlbertR v10 does have a local indexing service that is used for search. I checked with devs and it sounds like backlinks indexing support will be coming soon.

@AlbertRYes, backlinks are being calculated on the server as part of the indexing of notes for search.

 @Dave-in-DecaturWe just finished rolling out the web client to 100% of users, so please let me know if you are still not seeing backlinks in our web client and I can look into it further.

The little pop out window to view my tasks is nice, but would really like to be able to view my tasks in a full window.

The tasks team is going to be visiting this soon. We're thinking of how to improve the Tasks view and we understand that the smaller window pane is not ideal. 

FYI, here are the limits based on account type.

Still here and received @Dab1's PM. Though I'd like to state that I'm not a direct path to senior management, but I'm always happy to listen to feedback and do my best to pass it on to those that might be able to act on it.

I hope that that thorough testing includes frequent testing with sub-optimal Internet connections.

I will bring this up to the team to make sure it is being covered sufficiently.

Data is LOST when you open an account, no matter the data host, and that data isn't where it is supposed to be.

I think this makes sense to you as a user, but is not so clear to Evernote. Our older design where a personal account was tied to a business account with the drop-down to easily switch between the two led to users not having a clear delineation between the two accounts. Many users had cases where business data was in the personal account or potentially vice-versa.

When we decided to change the business accounts to have a clear separation, we needed to take a best guess at where data would belong (personal or business account) when they were separated.

If we tried to take guesses at which data on the personal side belonged on the business side, that could be disastrous. The data would now belong to the business and if a user was removed from the business, they would lose access to that data. So the safest thing to do was to leave any data that lived in the personal account there, and provide users with a tool to migrate data from a personal account to a business account. That way the user could decide which data belonged in the business account. Any solution that tried to be smarter had potential for getting it wrong and legally we did not feel comfortable trying to make those decisions in an automated way. FWIW, we had a LOT of discussions about that. We considered having a whole tool during the account split process where a user could choose which notes/notebooks to move, but it made the split process even more complicated than it already is and we wanted to try to make the process seamless.

I hope this helps explain things. If you are really having issues with perceived data loss, please reach out to me privately and I can try to assist with locating those items.

Weird though that a link works in new but not old.  Thanks.

So we explicitly changed from evernote:// links to en:// because legacy registered the former URL prefix. In order to make sure links opened in newer clients, we had them (10.x) register to use en://. So links in emails should all now use the en:// URL format causing them to be opened in 10.X and not legacy.

This may be the cause of the behavior you are seeing. Though I haven't explicitly checked the reminder emails code to confirm.

@CalS Are you able to send me a sample link from your reminders email? I want to validate if it is of the format 

evernote://

or

en://

Or perhaps it is getting wrapped by our email sending engine (links.comms.evernote.com). If that's the case, please see if you can click through and get the URL it redirects to after being processed by the link wrapping endpoint.

Also, are you on the latest Evernote app version? I believe it should be 10.18.x

So are you saying that you get prompted by iOS to always open links in the Evernote app, but that isn't persisting? If that's the case, are you opening those links from within a specific mail app, such as the GMail app? If you are and it's opening a web page within that app, you might try launching that app into Safari first and then telling it to always open. I saw a case (albeit in Android) where it didn't persist when I said to always open from within the GMail app, but worked when I forced the URL to open in the base Chrome app and selected always open.

I'll see if I can reproduce this locally or otherwise get a member of the team that worked on the fix to take a look. 

Came here to ask everybody to check if they were getting the emails now. Glad to hear people are.

We finally pushed out a fix yesterday. I'm sorry it took longer than expected. 

@CalS I will ask about the link. It sounds like the association of the Evernote links to the app is not sticking. I assume you are on the latest iOS version?
