I have the new icon but no UI update yet.  I have signed up for the beta in hopes that I may be able to nudge some of the development in a direction that I will find helpful, or at least not as onerous.

Now that a few screens have come about, I definitely didn’t get the full update. I do like the new icon though. Glad to see it.

How does one sign up for betas? I’m curious to join. I’m not bothered by breaking changes when using them.

I had an update notice today on my Evernote app for Mac, and the round icon is gone. Replaced with a new rounded square and a bit of a shine on the logo. Would this indicate the version with the new UI as well? If so, it’s very subtle in app.

Same issue. 10.53.3, very frustrating new bug. Must have been a result of the recently announced nav changes? Hopefully a simple fix in next iOS release.

Oddly enough, 32 hours after this post I opened Evernote iOS for the 6th or 7th time today and suddenly out of nowhere, a flood of new note clips started to appear and “sync”.

Woukd love to understand what is going on with this. I’ve never experienced the same with the older apps.

I immediately tried a new screenshot to clip it, thinking perhaps all was good; but it has yet to appear. I’m lost for words.

Hi,

I’m unable to save most clippings of images to Evernote in random uses cases.
 

Most of the time it’s when trying to save an image for another app using the share sheet. Sometimes it works and other times it doesn’t. Problem is, I’m not aware without checking the app after every clipping — as the clipper always says “saved”. When it doesn’t work, the saved content simply never appears in Evernote.

Would there be something needed with settings or permissions to make this more reliable?

@aukirkFound a couple that were just that. Removed the reminder set on each and the tabs went away. Thanks again!

Thanks! maybe it’s a shared note. I’ll dig into it. Appreciate the insight. 

Hi,

I do not use Evernote for setting reminders. It currently shows a title for this (and notes) and unnecessarily takes up screen real estate at the top of my notes list with no way of removing it.

I would love to be able to hide/disable these tabs from being a filtered view. On a small notebook screen, it could add a nice amount of screen height that doesn't seem necessary if I never tab between them. I have no need to view "Notes" or "Reminders" as titles at all times at the top of my app. I'd much prefer to just get to my first note listed.

Thank you!

Looking to somehow disable these links from appearing in the sidebar, see screenshot below.

They add visual noise and take up screen real estate when I expand tags or notebooks. Is this possible?

I'm running 10.4.3 on macOS Big Sur.

Hi All,

Does changing the sort order of your notebooks cause the missing notebooks to re-appear? Or, do they continue to appear missing?

Also, if you click on 'Notebooks' from the left hand navigation, do you see all of your notebooks? Or, are they missing there as well?

For the side/flyover menu, changing the sort order doesn't help.

My only work around at this time is to tap on "Notebooks" and go to the actual page of Notebooks. My stacks appear and are navigable. But it gets very tedious when I'm trying to float between stacks quickly on my phone.

Issue is still present as of today’s update I performed.

What you’re describing is the official Evernote share sheet option. Sadly, that feature doesn’t work for the articles I try to save in most instances, and the formatting it saves the page in is not very desirable.

I’m using a custom iOS Shortcut that does a fantastic job of simplifying things by only saving the body of the article. This saves the content, and any images, in an easy to read format within Evernote. It’s very accurate and always works without issue.

However, my shortcut doesn’t save the URL properly into the info icon area that you show above. And I also want to place a copy of the URL at the top of the article.

I hope that explains my situation more clearly.

Hi. Will any of this help?  How to use Siri with Evernote

Unfortunately not. I’m trying to create a custom shortcut. I’m struggling with using the variables and custom actions.

Curious — could one possibly use this to copy/paste a tweet URL and create a nicely formatted tweet to appear within a note?

Hi, I have a Siri Shortcut that does a great job of saving an article to Evernote with the share sheet, but I have two needs I have been unable to program correctly. I want to append the URL of the article I’m saving at the top of the note as a link. And I’d love to save the URL to that URL field of the note. Nothing I’ve tried has been able to solve this. Would anyone have a recommendation on what I can set in my action list to accomplish this?

This is fantastic! Thank you so much @DTLow for making this a reality! I really appreciate it and plan to dig into it further to learn each aspect of this code. I hope you find it just as useful.

Below is the full source I'm running at the moment. A few comments I had, I'm not sure what options you'd recommend.

1. In the note selector that pops up, the date overpowers the title. Might recommend minimizing date format and/or perhaps add some type of delimiter.

2. My pop-up window starts at 1 line only; even if there's more than one option to choose from. Is there a way to increase its height or make height dynamic? See screenshot attached.

3. If it doesn't find a match, should we display a dialog that indicates this?

tell application "Evernote" to set theOriginalNote to item 1 of (get selection)
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "c" using {command down}
delay 1
set selectedText to the clipboard
set searchQuery to "intitle:\"" & selectedText & "\""

set theLink to ObtainNoteLink(searchQuery)

if theLink is not "" then
	set theLinkHTML to "<a href=\"" & theLink & "\">" & selectedText & "</a>"
	tell application "Evernote"
		set theHTMLCode to HTML content of theOriginalNote
		set theHTMLCode to my Replace_Text(theHTMLCode, selectedText, theLinkHTML)
		set HTML content of theOriginalNote to theHTMLCode
	end tell
end if

on Replace_Text(this_text, search_string, replacement_string)
	set prevTIDs to AppleScript's text item delimiters
	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the search_string
	set the item_list to every text item of this_text
	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the replacement_string
	set this_text to the item_list as string
	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to prevTIDs
	return this_text
end Replace_Text

on CollectnoteData(searchQuery)
	
	set noteData to {}
	tell application "Evernote"
		set theNotes to find notes searchQuery
		
		repeat with theNote in theNotes
			set theTitle to title of theNote
			set theDate to creation date of theNote
			set theLink to note link of theNote
			display dialog theTitle & " " & theDate & theLink
			set end of noteData to {theTitle & " " & theDate, theLink}
		end repeat
		
	end tell
	
	return noteData
	
end CollectnoteData

on ObtainNoteLink(searchQuery)
	set theLink to ""
	set noteData to CollectnoteData(searchQuery)
	
	if noteData is not {} then
		set noteList to {}
		set i to 0
		repeat with noteInfo in noteData
			set i to i + 1
			set end of noteList to i & " " & item 1 of noteInfo as string
		end repeat
		
		set i to (words 1 thru 1 of item 1 of (choose from list noteList with prompt "Select Note from " & searchQuery)) as integer
		set theNote to item i of noteData
		set theLink to item 2 of theNote
	end if
	
	return theLink
	
end ObtainNoteLink

Nice, I’ll give this a try this morning!

Looks like I have a lot of dissecting to do on these last few steps to learn from. 👍🏻

So CollectnoteData is a custom function you're creating?

I have the scripts available now in my toolbar, thanks! I've saved what I had so far to this file. Testing directly in the scripts editor gets the correct result. If I highlight text in the Evernote note, and then select the script from the toolbar, nothing is happening yet.

tell application "System Events" to keystroke "c" using {command down}
delay 1
set selectedText to the clipboard
set searchQuery to "intitle:\"" & selectedText & "\""
tell application "Evernote" to find notes searchQuery

Cool feature! I wasn't aware. I'll check it out!

I was trying to add it as a right-click "Services" menu item, but wasn't getting anywhere. I thought that might be cool to highlight the word and quickly right-click. A keyboard shortcut might be a good idea as well. I do have TextExpander installed and thought I might be able to come up with something for it.

In the script editor, I was experimenting with something similar! I was stuck on how to pass that selectedText to the tell statement. 

tell application "System Events" to keystroke "c" using {command down}
delay 1
set selectedText to the clipboard

Thanks! So far, I've ran the script from the editor and it's returning the correct result in a data array.

Had a thought, it might be beneficial if we kept it to this array of possible results, in a way we could choose one to apply as a link, so we wouldn't have to target the exact title. That may work better (which I think alludes to your original question).

Thanks @DTLow for the reply! To answer your questions, I was thinking the same. Here’s where I currently stood on those...

1. I don’t mind typing a note title, it was meant to be a reference to the note I’d be typing it for. Hopefully I’m interpreting your question on this correctly.
2. if multiple match, and I know that to be true scenario for me, it would be INCREDIBLE to get a drop down to choose from, that shows a list of possible matches with title/created date. However, coming back down from the cloud in the sky, I would gladly default to most recent. I know it’s not fool-proof, but for my purposes it would still serve well 99% of the time.
3. No match? No link.

i’m not familiar with proper HTML formatting for Evernote. I am familiar with HTML in general. I have no prior experience with AppleScript, but I guess we’ve got to start somewhere

Greatly appreciate any assistance! 🙏🏻

I stumbled across a feature in another piece of software I would love to try and recreate for Evernote and thought it might be doable in Evernote Mac with AppleScript. However, I know nothing about how to create AppleScripts with Evernote

I would love to add a keyword phrase within brackets (or manually highlight the string) and have AppleScript search for a note with this title and set a link to it.

Any help or guidance on if and how this is possible with AppleScript (or other software) would be greatly appreciated!
