  1. @pez - of course a package like EN has a lot of different ways of using it, so different people will report different levels of success. I've never tried or needed alt+ to use the menus (the set of shortcuts already defined is quite extensive). For the issue of the display, I've had this when plugging my laptop into a project. However, if I boot the machine with the projector connected, then EN in Wine uses the whole screen properly. I don't know if this will help in your case! For the issues with NixNote2: As above, the Evernote API doesn't allow access to shortcuts, so until EN decide to grant this nothing can be done. I've not had any problems deleting notes. By copy you mean duplicate? There is a duplicate note function, yes. Not sure what this means? I don't use reminders, so have not tested this. I haven't seen this - if you have "sync on shutdown" set, it could be that this takes some time and blocks the restart? Overall these issues don't seem like show-stoppers, and if there are minor feature requests (like sorting of reminders) then these are probably added easily by contacting the author. Have fun! Mark
  2. A few comments on the above discussion! The last version of EN that worked very well on Wine, for me, was Evernote_5.8.14.8221.exe - later versions didn't refresh the note window when you clicked on a different note. The latest version (5.9.3...) fixes this, but brings another problem - the editor toolbar (which usually pops up when you click in a note to edit it) doesn't appear. In fact it seems that all notes are being displayed effectively "read only". I can't make any edits at all. If anyone has a solution for this, I'd be very grateful! NixNote2 is working very well in the latest release. Although official releases are not so frequent, the Github repository (https://github.com/baumgarr/Nixnote2) is updated often and the author is very responsive to suggestions and bug fixes. So if you're not afraid to do an occasional "git pull" and "make" then that's for sure the way to go. On the issue of shortcuts, if I understand correctly the Evernote API does not expose shortcuts. So NixNote also has shortcuts, but they are not sync'd with the Evernote service.
  3. Agreed, a native linux app would be great - whether built by the Evernote team, or someone else using the API. There is also mention of possible future Evernote support on the BasKet Notes site (but I think that doesn't support images, which I use a lot..?). In the meantime, a few fixes to help those using Evernote under Wine would go a long way! My particular issue is in getting images in. I don't necessarily expect the clipper to work properly given the limited clipboard capability of Wine, but it would be great if auto import folders could be fixed - then I can grab screenshots or dump files using any old program and have them appear in Evernote. Currently I email items, but the email/wait/click sync/etc. loop is long enough to disrupt my workflow. I've posted this elsewhere, but to review, Evernote under Wine gives the following errors: On clicking File Import: "You don't have any registered notebooks. Please do sync with your account" [all of my notebooks are sync'd OK] One can click through this message, and continue to try and add a folder, but it never appears. If you now OK, you get "Can't write volume label on Z: Drive should be writable during initial auto-import configuration. Check if drive is not write-protected and try again" This may be impossible for Evernote to solve, but it would be interesting to hear from one of the developers if there's a quick fix Regards, Mark
