  1. It's doubtful EN will add sorting lines within a note any time soon, if ever. (The ability to sort notes by note title has always been an option). If you need lists sorted alphabetically & don't want to make each line a separate note, then you should probably use a true list manager. There are plenty of them out there. And they pretty much work just like having each line in a separate Evernote note, IMO/IME.
  2. Please do not bump threads. If you have something of value to add to the discussion, feel free to do so. But bumping is not only unnecessary, it's frowned upon.
  3. No one has said you (or anyone else) should not ask for a linux client. However, linux supporters are the ones who are telling the rest of us to stop posting our thoughts. This is a message board. If you post something, there's a really good chance someone else may have another idea or something of value to offer. IMO, odd that the "linux community" that is clamoring for an EN client is so against helping/modifying baumgarr's open source linux client. Especially since it's clear that at least in the near or not so near future, that's your best bet, if you don't like the web client or using Wine. When it comes to the actual product your thoughts are not your own, you are just relaying the last communicated thought by EN. Your personal thoughts are your comment regarding wine and nix note. The answer to your question is most of us are using wine or nixnote and it doesn't fit the bill 100%. Not all Linux Users are programmers and can contribute code, or have the time. Some are even willing to pay for the client and we feel EN is in a better position to interface with their product rather than a 3rd party. I am reiterating facts. There really is nothing new that's ever added to this thread. It's pretty much all been said. If one actually reads the thread, it's clear no one is telling linux users to stop posting they want an EN client. Yet the linux users keep wanting only linux supporters to contribute to the thread.

  5. As was pointed out earlier in this thread, rather than continuing to berate EN b/c of the lack of an EN client...
  6. We got that, it's been said dozens or times. The point is to possibly influence future direction. If no one complains or requests it the status quo will prevail. As much as the linux "whiners" keep complaining there is no linux boxes, why do people care to answer the same question over and over? Is there some fetish from telling people no or nannny poo poo no client for you? No one says you shouldn't post your support for this. But those who continue to think "cross platform" translates to "all platform" or those who denigrate EN and/or the devs will most likeley get replies in kind. (Not sure what a "fetish from telling people no" means though...)
  7. I don't know why you think "cross platform" translates to "all platform". I won't be holding my breath until there's an EN client for a Palm TX.
  8. As an aside, Googling "MartiAn Packer" is far less interesting than I thought it would be.
  9. Users of all OSes must wait for fixes, as they are not completed & delivered instantaneously. BTW, the Windows desktop app is considered by some as the gold standard as there are at least a few features in the Windows client that the Mac & iOS users long for.
  10. Any linux client for Evernote (I know there is at least one...mentioned at least once (if not more) in this thread) is third party.
  11. In addition to what Metrodon & Jefito said, wrt open source, a fellow board member, baumgarr, has built Nevernote/Nixnote, which is open source. Rather than complaining about the lack of an "official" Evernote client, wny not help a fellow linux/Evernote user who has already put his nose to the grindstone to create a linux client? http://nevernote.sourceforge.net/index.htm
  12. Not snowed in. Doesn't happen often in the desert. ;-) WRT the feature request, I don't have a problem with the way things work now. IMO, it's NBD to sort the results pane differently, when I need to. I do think Jeff pointed out a reasonable concern...that when one notebook is sorted one way & another notebook sorted another way & the search results include notes from both notebooks, what to do? Sure, EN could add all kinds of flags & options, but I think they still try to stay as basic/simple/straight forward as possible. I think that also makes it easier to deal with the multi-platform issues.
  13. Don't you mean getting? (We haven't done that for a while...fun to see it resurrected!)
  14. Evernote does not typically comment on why something is the way it is or isn't. It could be a conscious choice or simply a matter of other things having a higher priority.
  15. Yeah, I wondered how long it would be before you dug up the F word. That seems to be the go to word when someone can't accept that others have valid opinions that differ from theirs. If I don't agree with you, then I must be a fanboy. Sweet. BTW, since it's clear you don't get it, that's why I have evangapologist in my tag line. It's called sarcasm. And please re-read my earlier post, since you seem to have blinders on as to why this feature may not be implemented. This really isn't worth debating, since the bottom line is that it really doesn't matter what you or I think. The issue has been presented to EN & they either will or will not implement it based upon *their* criteria. If it's a deal breaker for you & you have so little regard for the developers based upon the fact that your "go to" feature has not been implemented, then you should be disgusted & find an app that better suits your needs. Good luck.
  16. Whether it's a piece of cake to implement is not something you can speak to unless you are intimate with Evernote under the hood & how it behaves on the various other platforms. Additionally, there are a lot of feature requests by the 60+ million users. The fact that *your* feature request has not been implemented is no indication that EN is not listening to their customers. Sometimes a feature is simply something EN has decided to not implement at all. Or perhaps it's a lower priority than a lot of other things. "Evangelapologist" seems to describe you very well, indeed! Custom thumbnail selection would be one of the most important features to organize your notes and quickly find what you are looking for. After all, a picture says more than a thousand words. If Evernote cannot implement something as basic as this, they should go out of business. End of story... Thumbnail selection is certainly not the most important feature for many people, including me. End of story.

  18. Jealous much? That's the only reason I can think of why you'd post such silly comments that have no relevance. But thanks for playing.
  19. So I was wondering, because you are here MUCH longer than others, what does make you think that you are better than others? I don't & I don't know why you think that. I do think I know what Evernote is about more than others.
  20. Nor a lack of ability. I think you are quoting me here, right? Indeed. I think the Evernote developers (at least, in my experience) are extremely competent. I wouldn't be surprised if they are among some of the best in their respective fields. This doesn't mean they will make the "right" decisions (amazingly, they have not implemented all of my suggested changes). It does mean, though, that they have probably thought through all of this a lot more deeply than we have Ahhhh...yes, I am quoting you. Sorry. I will correct this.
  21. Of course Evernote listens to their customers & adds features based upon that. What is at issue here is that the feature *you* want has not been implemented. So basing your claim on that is flawed. As others have said above, Phil mentioned something about security by year end. However, as with due dates/reminders, the end product may not be what you are expecting it to be. So as Jeff said, it would be wise to adjust your workflow to the way Evernote works today. Nor a lack of ability.
