Uhm… I guess you didn’t notice I was quoting and responding to someone else and not you. I also assume one smiley face wasn’t enough. My response was tongue in cheek. Concerning moving the tag location to the bottom, yes, no one was happy about that and there were a lot of complaints when that was changed. I preferred it at the top too, but am now use to the change.

Just thinking but the developer may need to wait on an updated API from Evernote that supports these new features.

Thanks for the Hazel pointer. I'll check it out. I was able to get the AppleScript working and scheduled. I just checked and can confirm that Evernote-backup does not support tasks. Thanks for filing the request with the developer.

I just checked another Electron framework app I have and it also does not support dynamic text. Maybe it is an Electron limitation?

Interesting and correct. The text in the snippet view increases, but the actual note content font size is unchanged.

"Changing" hundreds of tags a day?!? Maybe you would waste less time if you got it right the first time 😁. Couldn't resist. Though, I am a little curious about a workflow that requires that level of daily tag changing and I use a far amount of tags myself.

Not worried, just curious to see what they come up with, and as long as there is an undo, I'll give it a whirl.

If you don't like what it has done, can you control/command Z back?

Until we are allowed to pick thumbnails, I currently find them essentially useless and turn off show images in the options. I got tired of seeing images, on web clips in particular, that have nothing to do with the note, and the work around is so painful, that I rather just turn off images. This is one of the (I think) obvious features that should, long ago, have been added. Hopefully the new management sees fit to consider this one.

Changing the font size in the system accessibility menu will increase the size in Evernote and any other app that supports dynamic type.

If you highlight the text and then use the web clipper, the resulting note will have the source URL in the note to the right of the title. You don't need to add it manually.

Either space or enter following the hyphens work for me.

I've seen this as well on Mac. I got so frustrated at one point I instead created the task on iPhone which did work.

Outlining is a long requested, and I agree, a very useful feature to add to the editor. Maybe now that EN is under new management it will get considered and added into the backlog. It would be especially helpful if combined with intra-note linking was added at the same time.

Well, not sure why it isn't working for you, but that method does work for others using a Mac, including me.

Is the task syncing issue related to these changes? If so, I'll sit tight and wait and see. If not I'll enter a bug report. In particular, recurring tasks that have been marked complete reappear and do not get pushed to the new date. It does seem to be intermittent and I'm experiencing it more on the Mac than the iPhone.

No. It just exports files. We are on our own for cleanup and organization.

Yes. One of the options is to export to single notes.

Yes, surprisingly and it just worked, no fiddling required. There are basically three commands. init - You run this initially. It logs you in and creates a local SQL database sync - this then downloads your EN database to the local copy. First time is a full download. Subsequent runs only downloads changes. The initial download for me with 10k notes took about an hour. export - this step creates enex files for each notebook. This runs from the local copy so is pretty quick. There is no option that I’ve seen for creating only selected notebooks. It creates then all. I’ll run the sync fairly often but will export only occasionally.

Thank you. I actually understand that part of the problem. The issue that I'm running into is creating an executable AppleScript that will run consistently. What I have runs fine in the script editor, but is inconsistent when run stand alone. I'll get it figured out. I was surprised that Mac didn't have something similar either. I was a Windows user since well, the beginning and switched to a Mac about seven years ago. I'm a photography enthusiast and it seemed like Mac was the platform to be on so I thought I would give it a try. I found nothing magical about the Mac. It did seem like I was constantly googling to figure out things that I thought should be obvious, but weren't, at least to me. We have iPhones and iPads and there is an advantage having all Apple devices, but other than that, I'm underwhelmed. I think both OSes are fine. It is just what you get used to. That said, I've never had a Mac blue screen and did many times on Windows, but less often in the later years. Thanks for the Task Till Dawn pointer. I'll check it out.

As best as I can tell MAC OS doesn't have a utility similar to Task Scheduler, and to accomplish the same is a little more involved, but I'm plugging away at it. I have noticed that the export option doesn't overwrite and is only all notebooks and not selected ones, but I'm ok with that.

I found this to be surprisingly easy to set up on a Mac. Thanks for the pointer. It does appear to be all notebooks only, which is fine for me. The challenge I have is figuring out how to automate and schedule this. I've never dug into AppleScript before, but maybe it is time. Though setting a recurring task and running the backup manually once a week is not a big deal either, but automating it would be nice.

I'm not sure if it is the same issue or different, but I had the problem with stuck tasks that would not sync. The fix, for me, was to sign out of the account, and select to not save the data forcing a new download of the database when you log back in.

His answer is still correct. I was on the other thread where this was already discussed.

Woah … ease up there cowboy. We don’t want to give them any ideas.
