  1. I'm not familiar with your software. But since you say you're talking about docs that have yet to be scanned, I would say to scan the pages that you want to be in one doc & then stop. I have a scanner with an auto document feeder (ADF). But I only load the pages that are part of single document & therefore a single note. IMO, this is nice because I give the document a meaningful name. Then I copy it to an import/watched folder & it then gets auto loaded into Evernote with a meaningful title (the file name). All I have to do is then tag & move to the appropriate notebook.
  2. AFAIK, no. EN normally prefers to not reinvent the wheel. But you can add your mind mapping files, created by the mind mapping software of your choice, to Evernote.
  3. Another one is Edraw. I don't know how good it is for mind mapping, since I don't do that. But it's a free app & I use it in place of Visio for dataflows.
  4. Doubtful it will be implemented within a few weeks.
  5. You know, a lot of people seem to want/be searching for a single app that does it all. I don't think such an animal exists. I've been writing/using software for over 35 years & IMO, it boils down to some apps do some things amazingly well but no app is going to do it all (or do it all well.) Fact of life. I don't know why some people seem to think they need to decide between OneNote & EN. I use both. OneNote I use occasionally. EN I use pretty much every hour of every day. Do I use either one for budgeting/balancing our books? No. Use the app that's best suited to the task.
  6. That is an incredibly arrogant and insulting position to take. Even with the smiley. I suggest you look in a mirror. Your way is not the ONLY correct way of doing things. It is painfully obvious that the virtual organisation that tagging employs is simply not enough for some people. And insulting people with opposing viewpoints is not the way to evangelise a product. :-x It's not my way. It's Evernote's way. I didn't invent it & I had a bit of trouble adapting at first, too. But once I realized the tags are every bit as useful as nested sub folders and yet offered so much more flexibility, then I was sold. And, IMO, the best way to evangelize a product is to show people how to use it as it is, rather than gnash their teeth, wring their hands & lament the lack of a feature that does not exist & (from all indications) may never exist in the product. Of course, for some people, that will be a deal killer & that's why there are other apps out there.
  7. As is the case with so many new ideas, that some people are opposed to change or learning a newer, better way of doing something.
  8. You can't have that exact wording but you can replicate it enough to be at least as useful while being so more flexible than sub folders, which end up being restrictive when you have thousands of notes. You do have to think outside the box. This has been already discussed in depth many times on the board, so please use the search function for more info.
  9. Mahesh, you should use tags to replicate nested notebooks. It works just as well. Really.
  10. And your point is...??? You're getting exactly what you paid for, a premium account. No premium user is paying for a client. They are all free. Web, Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, all free. You're paying for the cloud service, ability to add all file types to notes, larger upload limits, larger note sizes, etc. However, even if the clients were payware, it's still not EN's job to provide a client for every OS on the planet. As metrodon pointed out, they have made a conscious decision to not do a linux client & that's that. (shrug)
  11. Probably not going to happen: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=15705#p65878 IIRC, Owyn uses EN 4 successfully under wine & also uses the web client. Or, you could take a look at Nevernote, the app Dave talks about in the post I linked above. Many people seem to be happy with it.
  12. I'm pretty sure this isn't going to happen. However, you can use the mindmap of your choice & put the file in Evernote. Double click the icon in the note in order to invoke the mindmap app & open the file.
  13. First, Evernote is not trying to be in the corporate market. As an aside, there's no reason the corporate world couldn't adjust to tags, which function pretty much the same way as nested folders do. (shrug) Second, I don't know how difficult it would be to implement sub-notebooks/stacks, nor do you. However, I think it's safe to assume that if it were all that easy to implement across all the platforms EN lives on, that either they or someone else would have done it.
  14. I'd guess they would have done this from the get go, if it were feasible. As you can see from Dave Engberg's post above, EN has suggested using tags, instead of the "sub notebook" way of organizing notes. Additonally, stacks currently aren't even rolled out on all platforms. Since the iPhone app has been totally redone since stacks were rolled out on the Windows/Mac desktops and it does not have stacks, I'd guess that stacks aren't that easy to implement on the various platforms that EN supports. I would imagine stacked stacks would be at least as problematic. As has been said multiple times before on the board, if you plan on using Evernote very much, you need to learn to be comfortable with using notebooks, tags, keywords & stacks (single level) for organizing your notes. Otherwise, you should find another app.
  15. I suggest you read some of the existing threads on tags vs sub-folders/sub-notebooks. Many people (including myself) have posted extensive posts about how to use tags. IMO & IME, if you're using anywhere near 10,000 tags (or more), then you're overtagging. (I have just under 40,000 notes & probably only have ~150 tags.)
  16. (Resurrecting an old post from an old thread that someone else resurrected.) If I'm understanding you correctly, I absolutely agree. I have thousands (literally) of notes in EN & rarely have a problem finding the one I'm looking for. I primarily search all notebooks with "keywords" and sometimes tags. I almost never use saved searches.
  17. Tags. (Search the board, if you need more info. This has been discussed a lot, already.)
  18. Oh. My. God. You really don't get it... Yikes. I can only hope that Evernote's software/features/design team has more of clue. G FWIW, there are many, many, many people who have a particular feature that they think is absolutely essential. Any software that doesn't have it must have been designed/written my morons. Etc. Quite often, there are at least as many others who think that feature is nice but not essential & would never use it and still others who think it's not essential but nice & may use it if it were implemented. Whether or not EN elects to include these features depends on many things including prioritizing time & money (which is often the same thing.) Apparently, even Microsoft figured it wasn't all that essential, since it was dropped. (shrug) (The weight that carries with the reader of course, depends upon their take on Microsoft. ) I would also agree with Jeff, that the EN editor is not all that feature packed. I'm not complaining b/c if I need lots of formatting, I'll simply use Word. I think the reason is that they aren't really trying to be a text editor, plus they want the usage to be as similar as possible across all platforms, plus, all attributes of the text must be able to be viewed on all the platforms, etc, etc, etc. So I think they started out with a very basic text editor & are improving it as time/money permits.
