  1. This would be fantastic! --- Thanks to the Filterize team for sticking at it for this long!
  2. Considering the 'take-it-of-leave-it-popup message, maybe they are actually just looking for a way to get rid of free accounts asap to save some bandwidth and money as prices go up everywhere else? I guess it makes sense if they want to keep improving the software and keep the updates and fixes coming. I do understand the frustration of having to upgrade from free to several dollars a month, and I made the decision to move down from the personal tier myself this year. I also think it would have been good to offer a more basic plan for people who aren't planning to use all the features, even though that would also have to be managed somehow. However, demanding that software stay completely free forever in a world where nothing really is, doesn't really make a lot of sense. I do think efforts should be made to provide users with enough time to export their content if they are unable to upgrade at this time and choose to close their account. Or, let them keep access to the content they have already created, if possible.
  3. @Dave-in-Decatur I take your point, which is why I suggested we all make an effort in my previous post here. I didn't intend for that message to be ironic, so apologies if it came across as such. This is not about being blunt, which I can handle. But scorning others for sharing their thoughts on a user forum in good faith isn't very useful, or even instructing other people what to say or not to say in their posts ('stop blowing your personal software design preferences up into a problem or worse'). I did not intend to enter a lengthy discussion about what constitutes a feature or not, define it however you like. I referred to 'bugs and issues' in plural, and image alignment was one example. If you don't find that to be an issue, then fine. At the end of the day it's up to the developers how they wish to prioritize. Now I really do not wish to keep this conversation going in this thread, but do send me a message if you feel like it.
  4. @gazumped Well, why don't we all try to make an effort to stay within the guidelines then? I'm sure most of us are willing and able to.
  5. @PinkElephant I find it fascinating how one can always count on you popping up in the forums to instruct other users how to think and feel, always on hand to help out with the exact wording of other their messages. Did you forget that you were the first one in this thread to post a reply, mentioning an issue that could easily have been submitted to support like you advice others to do? Please could you try to resist the urge to make every single discussion in here be about you and what you think is sensible? People are different, unless you own this forum don't expect everyone to write or behave exactly like you, and maybe give Bending Spoons a chance to reply as they seem genuinely interested in being transparent and communicating directly with their users (which hasn't always been the case with Evernote in the past). I might be mistaken, but I seem to remember that aligning images used to be possible (years ago), but this is not possible currently. If this change has been confirmed by the developers to be an actual feature decision, please feel free to direct me to that information. I guess there are users who feel being able to align an image would be a purely aesthetic feature, but for visual thinkers it can be very useful.
  6. Thank you for your update about your current development priorities. I do hope that there will be time to sort some of the long-running bugs and issues, like the inability to center images. The workaround with using tables to center images tend to be more cumbersome and add unnecessary clutter.
  7. Inline tags would definitely make me reconsider renewing my subscription. I've had a workaround using page links, which does work ok thanks to the backlinking feature, but it's still not ideal for larger projects.
  8. I've been a user since the summer of 2012, so almost 11 years now. Hope Evernote will be around for another 11!
  9. This is the main reason why I never use the share function. I love the idea, but most two-three column tables and larger images will need to be sidescrolled. Once this is solved, I will definitely start using it as it would be a time saver in my workflow.
  10. It would probably be easier to create a separate table type together, rather than building this functionality on top of the existing table feature. Maybe it will happen eventually, we'll see.
  11. I'm staying on, not really going to waste energy worrying about something until I see a reason to. That said, hope the new features and fixes keep coming and things don't slow down too much during takeover
  12. I tried to use Make with Evernote, but couldn't make sense of it to create automations for my Evernote. Is there a tutorial out there? I would have liked to support Filterize, but at $10 a month it's the same price as Evernote. Half of that $4-5 I would consider. The Filterize devs definitely deserve kudos for their effort in closing the gap and making Evernote more powerful, I just wish more people would use it to keep the costs down for everyone.
  13. Brilliant idea, thank you for sharing! I'm going to start my mornings looking through the notes I made 5 or 10 years ago on this day.
  14. Hey, glad you found it useful! I just desperately needed to separate my home and work tasks, so thought it was worth trying out
  15. No, I participated in the Home beta a while back, but nowadays I'm using the public release. I might have marked the tasks complete on my Android phone while my Windows app was open. Also I marked them done from the Task widget on the phone rather than in the app, so that might have contributed to the issue
  16. Ok, so you can't put tasks INSIDE tables, but you can use tables IN BETWEEN tasks lists to sort them vertically. Although I would love to be able to sort them horizontally, I guess this works for now. Let's see if swapping tasks around within a note will ***** things up in the long run. Also I have noticed a few 'ghosts tasks' that seem to refuse to die (or they were just too determined to be recurring tasks). These seem to follow the same pattern as those auto-duplicating notes on those beautiful slow-sync days. The only thing worked for for me was putting the task note in the trash (after copying everything but the 'ghost task' and pasting them over in a new note). [NOTE: This started happening long before I started messing about and rearranging tasks lists like in the photo!]
  17. Yes, that would be awesome! I like the way Calender events are displayes when added to a note. I would love for the same template to show up for tasks as well. ___________ MY CURRENT TASK WISH LIST 1. Tasks in tables or nested in a two- or three column template 2. More 'default task' presets to set up new tasks more quickly 3. The ability for a recurring task to name the day ("Day 3 of 5"), would be great for challenges. That said, life is suddenly a little easier with the new update
  18. Imagine waking up one morning to 114K notes... 😮 --- Joke aside though, I've had some recent sync issues and notes duplications. However, having used Evernote for about 10 years, I have found way to adjust my workflow to the program. Everything isn't perfect in Evernote, and it may slow down at times. However, I only ever use my Android phone for jotting down short notes, and do more work-intensive stuff on my Windows app, where I have the screen size to expand my notes. So, the way I work, a note tend to start in the Android app, before I move into Windows. Sometimes it takes time to sync from my phone to my desktop, but it almost always end up where it should. I hope the speed improves, but at least I'm not worried about my note not being saved, which would be far worse imo. Have you tried uninstalling the android app, and/or signing out? Have you checked if there might be other apps that interfere with the evernote app? I would create a support ticket and let Evernote know of your issue (even if you've done it in the past). I hope things work out for you, or that you find a way to work around the issue!
  19. Before suggesting backing up the Evernote folder I would say be wary of trusting any online cloud services as there is no guarantee that these are stable over time. Sure, use backup software to a physical disk, but only use cloud backup as a way to access your files as simple as possible. Every once in a while I do a manual backup of the Evernote folder to a different location on a separate (offline) backup drive. Just in case there are issues with notes that I don't notice immediately. EDIT: It appears that my suggerstions refer to the Legacy app, where you can back up the entire folder. As far as I know you are right @therob, the only way to export properly in the new app seems to be exporting on notebook at the time, as the Evernote folder doesn't seem to contain all the content from the database. Correct me if I'm wrong! Otherwise, I hope there will be a better backup solution someday.
  20. I participated in the Home beta and have since been using the feature on and off, but it just doesn't work for me at the moment. Here's my wishlist 1. PINNED NOTE WITH NO SCROLLING: I wish a pinned note could be embedded in such a way that the entire content would be visible without scrolling (if the content is small enough that is). This way I could use a pinned note to place a quote or an image on the dashboard. The way it works at the moment there seems to be a large frame/ padding around the note so the top of the note won't be visible without scrolling. It feels like the note never fits with the width of the widget, regardless of home much you try to adjust. 2. COLOUR CODING: I would like ways to color code the different widgets, at least in the heading. 3. IMAGE/ ICON WIDGET: I would love an icon/ image widget with the ability to add a hyperlink. 4. VERTICAL ADJUSTMENT: I would like to be able to at least choose whether my dashboard widgets should be oriented vertically or horizontally, if it's not possible to do both at the same time. 5. DASHBOARD TAB/ SEPARATE DASHBOARD: I would like to be able to separate the dashboard widgets into two or three tabs, like 'Work", "Private". Alternatively, being able to add two or three dashboards. I've listed several features because I think the dashboard have to improve in several areas to be functional for the way I work. In the meantime I am happy to go back to my custom dashboard that I made before the Home feature was announced. It's far from perfect, but at least I can place the content exactly how I want (using tables). For me, the pinned note widget, in its current form, is barely usable, as long as I need to scroll down or sideways to view my content.
  21. I'm not saying this feature shouldn't or couldn't be implemented long-term (I am not a coder and I don't think you should have to be in order to post feature requests here in the forums), but I am wondering whether there could be a better way to present the notebooks visually to compensate for the lack of sub-levels in the short term? In Windows/Android the Notebooks are hardly presented visually at all except for general, gray non-customizable stack and notebook icons. There's got to be better ways to present these features to the user without having to change everything under the hood? What could be done to make it FEEL like you're using a notebook?
  22. Not really a good solution as long as Tasks has it's own icon in the sidebar that can't be disabled. Either there should be a way to make the the sidebar more functional (so you don't have to click on each task to see the full task name), or you should be able to disable the sliding panels in the sidebar altogether from the settings.
