Request: Passcode Lock for Evernote Mac
s2sailor replied to Saad K's question in Evernote for Mac Requests (Versions 7.14 and under)
Just curious, why isn't the OS passcode lock good enough? Personally I can't think of any reason why I would need to lock my EN data but would be ok with having everything else on the laptop open and available. -
Toggle list
s2sailor replied to ajschmidt's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 10.0 and above)
Not necessarity, It depends on your use case. As an example, I have a weekly status note where I keep track of different topics and provide dated entries in each. This note gets presented to a group of people. I would love to be able to collapse any entries that are not important for that particular meeting to help provide focus on the issues that do need to be discussed. This could be duplicated with many separate notes and links but manuevering through that live in front of a group would be very messy. Much similar to be able to just collapse or expand sections as needed. -

and adding one more would be even finer I believe there is another feature request thread out there for this and as I recall it was one of the higher voted ones. Another reason why it would be nice to have a central location for these client independent requests. -
Three now . I find reminders plenty useful as is, but further enhancements would be welcome.

I would suggest you initially consider using only an AP Biology tag. The highschool and senior tags to me seem to be superfluous unless there is a reason why you need to have a separate highschool or senior collection of your notes. There are some people that are definite taggers on this forum and all the power to them, but I think new users should start simply first and then add to the complexity if they find they want that later.

Feature request: Cloud storage in Europe
s2sailor replied to GambaJo's question in General Feature Requests
I would change that to: if privacy is important to you, don't put important or business data in any cloud based app. The next step down is to first encrypt your important data before putting it online. For text based notes I use the built in EN encryption. For everything else I use encrypted pdfs. Notebook level zero knowledge encryption would, IMO, be the best solution and I hope that someday EN chooses to impliment it. It would go a long way in helping the recent Premium price increase be more palpable. -
Feature request: Cloud storage in Europe
s2sailor replied to GambaJo's question in General Feature Requests
I agree but I don't think the answer is where the servers are located, I feel the solution is encryption. I'm surprised that any company would use EN (or any cloud based app) for business without zero knowledge encryption. If you peruse the forums you will see that users have been clamoring for notebook level encryption since the beginning. A few years back the prior CEO made a comment about "sexy encryption" coming. Instead, it appears we got work chat. It is a puzzle to me that any company that wants to position their product for business / professional use would not have encryption at the top of their feature to do list. -
The New Evernote Web Layout Is HORRIBLE
s2sailor replied to ineluki's question in Evernote Web Client Requests
Unless they have changed direction recently, I don't believe they are offering the classic view for new accounts. -
The Evernote Editor
s2sailor replied to PeeJayTee's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 6.25.1 and under)
Let's hope so. -
The Evernote Editor
s2sailor replied to PeeJayTee's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 6.25.1 and under)
I think it would be best if EN just abandoned the current voting mechanism and put a more meaningful process in place for collecting online user input. -
The Evernote Editor
s2sailor replied to PeeJayTee's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 6.25.1 and under)
Glad you think so but where did this come from? I appreciate the recent fixes with the new editor but to me they are still playing catch up. The editor was basically ignored or such a low priority that not much happened for several years. This new editor does give them a frame work to build on but is long, long over due and except for a few changes, IMO currently just has feature parity with the old editor. I'll start getting excited when I see some long requested enhancements show up. -
[REQUEST] Fingerprint support to unlock
s2sailor replied to yhn's question in Evernote for Android Requests (Versions 8.13.3 and under)
I still can't see a situation where I would want my EN data locked but it would be ok for someone to have access to my contacts, emails, texts, etc ... Not complaining, just trying to understand the use case for this request. -
Please consider having the time to be optional on a per note basis. I tend to use reminders for date only sensitive tasks. I use a calendar for time and date dependent tasks. It would be useful (well, at least for me) if I could deselect the time on a note reminder. I realize the time is used for notification so for those notes where the time is deselected a user defined default notification time could be used. As it is now, since I only use reminders for date sensitive events, I will, as an example, get a notification at 2:42 PM that a status report is due and the time is meaningless, it just happens to be when I entered the note and set the reminder.

s2sailor replied to PeeJayTee's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 6.25.1 and under)
I would be interested in seeing some type of status update as well, though it is uncommon for them to do so. I don't think I've seen EN commit to editor improvements "at the same time." I believe each OS has its own development team so these are being rolled out independently and I suspect that individual OS nuances make some editor changes more challenging than others so the feature rollout is different. I'm a Windows user and have definitely seen editor improvements on that platform though I look forward to future enhancements. -
[REQUEST] Fingerprint support to unlock
s2sailor replied to yhn's question in Evernote for Android Requests (Versions 8.13.3 and under)
I agree and would like to understand this request better too. When the OS provides a way to lock (I'm thinking iOS, don't know about Android), why is it needed at the app level? I've seen this request in the Windows desktop forum and am just wondering what I'm missing. I was puzzled when it was introduced for iOS. -
Well, it was "your" response to @David Reed that started the tangent. The other posts were just comments and clarifications based on that. If you want to police the forums and keep them on topic I would suggest that you first look internally.
-
Yes, I suspect @David Reed was just commenting based on his subjective reading of the forum over time. The point I was trying to make is that the voting mechanism can "not" be used as an indicator of the most requested feature since it is newly implemented and does not capture the years of customer input that occurred on this forum before the voting mechanism existed. I would agree that it can be used as "some" indication of current desire but even then, the voting system, as currently implemented, has problems as others have indicated.
-
In addition to GM's comments the voter mechanism (warts and all) is relatively new and doesn't capture or reflect the years of prior requests.

Is anyone sticking with Evernote?
s2sailor replied to GiacomoLaw's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Well ... another explanation is that you are doing something wrong. I'm not a big user of shared notes or notebooks but when I've tried it has worked fine. There are many here that manage a second account that way, so sharing does work. If this is more than just a vent and you truly want some help, provide more details on specifically what you are doing and I'm sure someone will be glad to offer assistance. -

After viewing the current season of House of Cards and OITNB ... meh ... I'm in agreement. -
Selectively sync notebooks support
s2sailor replied to Hongbo-Miao's question in Evernote for Mac Requests (Versions 7.14 and under)
FWIW, in my experience of the industry, this isn't exactly how it works. It is the product managers and marketing team's role to determine the product direction, what is needed, what will sell ... etc. The engineering team (programmers, architects ..), are the implementers. Yes, they influence the product and help nudge it in a certain direction but it is their job to deliver the vision that is set. When done well you have a product that meets the company's objectives, customer needs and is profitable. When done poorly you get Work Chat and the product manager goes off looking for a new job. -
Nesting Multiple Notebooks / Creating Sub-Notebooks
s2sailor replied to cswsteve's question in General Feature Requests
That's for sure . I would start with the keyword "movie" and go from there . I don't have the discipline to pull that level of tagging off for the long term, but I do admire those that use very structured tagging methods. It is always interesting to me to see how others use the service.
