  1. Would be nice if you find your example, to get back here. Maybe issue a support ticket as well. For me WebClipper in the simplified mode is important, and I just take it for granted (maybe I shouldn’t) that a clipped page is clipped entirely, regarding the core content. Don‘t want to check this all the time.
  2. If you look at the accounts possible, Premium is regarded as a personal account. So you can share, but control over the share is limited in itself, and as observed restricted to notes and notebooks. If you want to handle information flow and accessibility in a business environment, there is the option of the Business account. It allow through the Spaces feature to define who can read and contribute to which segment of the total data base of your business. This is run by an admin, not by switching individual shares on and off. New team member - simple to add; outgoing team member - easy to handle, even if you distribute the work load to several team members. Even if you think you do not need this today, when you grow it will make sense for sure. And it will take an effort to make the switch when you have to do it, because the work-arounds needed with a bunch of Premium accounts will stand in your way. Just unifying the individual tags into one structure will be a nightmare. Maybe see it the other way: The business part of the account cost the same as a Premium for each team member, and all team members get a own Premium account for free as well. Great place to work at ! And no, I am getting a bounty from EN when I get you convinced ... I‘v just seen too many overwhelmed IT installations in my life in small and growing businesses that made the whole place perform below the capabilities of its team.
  3. Sometimes I had a truncated part. When I followed up, I realized that the first time the page had not loaded completely. Going back, reloading the page and clipping again solved the issue for me up to now.
  4. P.S. Moved away from voting section - what in the hell should the vote be here ?
  5. There is only one side that will not allow you to board an Intercity train, reject your university application or send you to a Labour camp - all of this due to a lack of political correctness and deviation from the true doctrine. The social point system is Orwell reloaded. I prefer to get some good ads when I don’t expect them, and have my backups done by the guys up in Utah 😇
  6. Maybe it needed the next picture / scan to reopen the memory area where the last pics were still saved.
  7. Good for you - buffering on crash is not a bad strategy. This was inside of the EN app for iOS ? And as I understand the buffer was reactivated when trying the next scan, some days later ?
  8. It’s worth it. A tool for conversion is included. Both versions can be used in parallel.
  9. Ooops, send you the German link. Here is the basic link: https://evernote.com/betaprogram
  10. These are not 2 releases of the same thing, these are 2 different companies, running apps that came from on source, far back, before they split up. Thus there is no "international" version of EN. There is just one version of EN. And there is the Chinese offspring, completely on its own. They seem to be quite active, which is good. Feel free to switch over there, but it is a different entity. Cloud storage will be on Chinese servers. State security will sure look after your backups ...
  11. We have a very active beta community right now. It started at iOS, beta 13, and now it is Mac's turn ... The current releases of EN seem to have trouble with the new Apple OS betas. One has to remember that the devs at EN are not running far in front of the public beta users. So the apps betas will probably less stable than the OS betas. If interested in ENs own beta program, this ist the link. They have announced they will have to control the number of participants, and that some programs will be closed for new participants. So good luck to you: https://evernote.com/intl/de/betaprogram
  12. What do you mean ? Cutting back on the coffee, to pay the EN bill ? But this place is running on coffee ...😱
  13. One good thing your posting had: Made me remember I wanted to vote for this - just done 😉
  14. Sure it is different: Local notebooks do not sync up, the proposed non-syncs would not sync down. I just wanted to point out that one sort of syncing control is already in place, which is setting to local and not syncing up. The other is as well in place: Not syncing down, if not chosen as „offline“. This would be it, but today it is only available on mobile clients. So we have all of the tessera pieces, but it is not put together yet.
  15. About pricing, I think we all agree that the step from basic to Premium is pretty steep. The video about the new editor shows some interesting aspects EN is currently working on. For me, it is more important formatting options will be unified over devices and OSes, than to beat a DTP program on it’s own turf. And I would like to have markdown capability included ...
  16. Keep cool, in the meantime you were able to buy Evernote socks ... nothing beats a diversification strategy 😳🤣 1st I agree with you, 2nd I think we will have to wait for the release of the new editor to find out whether this issue got resolved.
  17. Sorry, not the same: If you are on a desktop, you have a mobile database. Not syncing means you can have a local notebook, it just will not sync. This exists, called local notebooks. However, all the other notebooks will sync down, master copy on the server. I understood this should be avoided, because some users are on desktop OS computers with little memory (like some Apple laptops with small SSDs). On mobile devices, not syncing makes less sense, because there is no local database. The only local database you can create by setting notebooks to offline. This means they will sync (unlike local notebooks on the desktop, that will NOT sync), but offline notebooks contain the only notes you can work on when offline. This is helpful when you want to save on your mobile data. Plume, or are offline (abroad, without roaming, on a plane, in a train etc.). Because the two use cases are different, and the basic setup of the clients is different, there is no „one fixes all“ approach - or I am not able to see it. However, I have as well voted in favor of being able to select notebooks to sync, or not to sync. For me, the more relevant case is the laptop with a tiny SSD, combined with a large EN database. Maybe one works on a home desktop with all the power, and just wants to take a part of all with him on a laptop. This would speak in favor of making the choice on the device, not centralized on the server. Like „install EN, dial into your account, get a list of notebooks, and be able to select „all“ or only a part of them for syncing“. And of course the chance to change this whenever you want, plus having the un-synced ones be securely deleted from the local disk drive.
  18. @IainBev Just one comment: Not reflecting the respect I showed to your posting. And a German proverb, about EN listening or not: „Everybodies darling is everybodies fool“. Have a nice day !
  19. You're welcome. P.S. Thanks can be done by the Like-button as well ...
  20. Each one has it's own approach - this said before saying other things. A technical issue first: The EN database is build in a way that enforces each note to be in one and only one notebook. To change this would mean to rewrite the whole thing, set up a new server structure, migrate all user databases (local and central) etc. Tags are already set up in the way you find it, with complete flexibility. So if you feel you must create a deep, treetype notebook structure and file away into this, you should probably move somewhere else. Now why this is not necessary, if you look a little bit deeper into ways to organize information: Notebooks in EN have very limited logical function. They are more like a large container than a filigreed filing structure. They are used to control things like being shared, being local, being offline etc. And you can control search easily, by first selecting a notebook and then entering a search string, or search for a tag in the selected notebook only. Tags are used to make searching easier, and to give a logical structure. This structure is not tree-type, it is a net. If you search for "2018", you will find everything tagged 2018 If you search "invoices", you will find all docs tagged invoices If you search for both, you will find all invoices from 2018. If you want to search for all invoices from 2015 to 2018 containing the ZIP-Code 12345, it is easy to do this as well (ZIP as text search) If you set up a tree structure (nested folders / notebooks), one of the 2 initial searches above is easy, the other is not. The combined search maybe is easy, for example if you file 1st "Invoices", and below this "Years". It is hard if your tree is "Invoices" - "Suppliers by Name", or other. With tags, it is always easy. And you can search for initially unrelated tags as well, the search will create the relation. Tagging is an effort if you have a lot of notebooks. First you have to think about the right notebook, then about the tags. It is no effort if you have few notebooks, and do the main filing work by tagging. Tagging is easy, because you do not have to decide about "Putting it here, putting it there" - just apply all tag wanted, and be done. And tags make it easy to avoid duplicates, because you do not need duplicates. Adding a new tag creates a duplicate by logic, while still needing just one note. Probably you do not want to make the step, because you have invested a lot into your notebook structure. I have been there some time ago as well. Then I realized that this is not the best way to set it up, it was just like that because I came from the traditional folder-tree Windows forces on us. In fact it is pretty easy to reorganize: Use one of the desktop clients (Win or Mac). First select all notes in one notebook, and mass-apply the notebook-name as a tag. Or apply 2 or more tags, that combined make up the notebook name. Then move all the notes into the new "container-type" notebook. Even with a lot of notebooks and notes, this can be done with little time spend to reorganize. You will find everything you had in the notebooks structure now in the tag list. The tags can be nested (however it will not show on the mobile clients yet, EN is working on this). This is the way I would set it up, and have done so for my data. Do what you think is right for you, but do not expect software that was designed differently to follow this. As I say - maybe switch to another tool.
  21. For me, it is still GoodNotes 5. The notes stay in there as long as they are „work in progress“, export to EN when closed and of future use. GN5 has a strong handwriting recognition and offers a search function (if needed) in all notebooks for text. Text can be selected and converted into computer text as well, which works incredibly well with my ***** handwriting. The pdfs exported into EN are fully searchable as well (if this feature is enabled on export), the handwritten text will be found. Just takes 2 steps on my iPad , first search the note with the pdf, open it, then search for the text inside of the pdf. The handwritten match(es) found will be highlighted. One-time-purchase, good support, new features added permanently. Syncs only into iCloud, this works well over i-devices. Backups can be done to other Cloud-Services as well.
  22. Go into the EN app. Click on account (the little man at the bottom, far right) Click on settings Activate Passcode-Lock (between Reminders and Evernote E-Mail adress, 3rd Positionen from the bottom of the list), you have to enter a passcode. When you did this, on the following screen you can select touch or Face ID. DTLow has posted this screen above. P.S. Moderators action: Moved from voting into iOS general - makes no sense to vote for something that exists.
  23. If you are happy with Nimbus, you did the right thing for yourself. The organisation concept of EN is to build the logical structure of the notes with tags. The result is not a tree, but a net, which is way more flexible, linking notes of all types together, with multiple links. Finding information is driven by search. But a I say: If you want to create a one-way, tree type structure in which you force your information, go to another place (or create it by nested tags in EN, which is easily possible- but does not unlock the real power behind tags).
