Y'all can cogitate all you want. And if one is going to take offense at a "flippant" remark about all the OSs that matter, then maybe one should get some thicker skin. Bottom line is that EN has stated very clearly they are not building a linux client. If that's a deal breaker for you, then EN is not the product for you.

Dude. I didn't say they "couldn't" make it work. Please re-read my post. And again, it's a matter of Evernote's priorities. The fact that their priorities don't necessarily align with yours is something you'll have to learn to live with.

The minute EN would make their ENML easily edited by the masses is the minute they start getting all kinds of support tickets b/c someone munged up their really important note. As Jeff pointed out, there is a third party option for those who choose to use it. It's always easy for users to say "the linux client/Egretlist/Clever/etc does this so it should be easy for EN to implement." The difference is most third party apps answer only to one OS. EN aims for feature parity across all platforms/devices (not that they are there, but it's a goal) and must insure features they add work well across all platforms.

As someone who has used EN for over four years, has accumulated over 56,000 notes & uses EN in one form of another pretty much every waking hour (certainly every hour I'm on a computer), I find it odd (and naive) that some people refer to this as "klutzy" & "limited". The traditional nested folder concept is truly klutzy & limiting, especially the more files/notes you accumulate.

Yup, tags are the way to go. A note resides in only one notebook. Doubtful EN will change this any time soon, if ever, as I'd guess it's a major overhaul & (again) tags do pretty much the same thing with the exception of sharing, offline and/or local notebooks. And I'm guessing those exceptions are what they are because of the infrastructure of the database, so again, major overhaul. You may find this thread helpful, if you've not read it before.

Please stop. It does no good to continue to debate whether or not it's worth EN's time/money to make a linux client. As has been stated many, many, many times already in this thread, EN has chosen to not do a linux client. Period. End of story.

Evernote does not strive to be a "text" processor. And you can export to HTML, which is really the best way for notes that may contain images, files, etc.

Asked & answered many times over. Advice is... Also asked & answered many times over. There are many workarounds so your huge images don't need to chew up your upload limit. (In a nutshell - edit before uploading.) Evernote is a cloud service. They really don't care if you add five copies of a huge photo of your dog. (It's not their job to care what you upload.) Their job is to store all five copies, if that's what you elect to do. Nothing new to see here.

I'm pretty sure we are/were still on the topic of nested notebooks.

Which is *exactly* why Evernote's recommended method of using tags is much more flexible than the nested folder system. IMO/IME, having to use nested folders is more & more of a limiting factor the more files/notes you have.

First, you do a terrible job of quoting. You don't even include the links. Second, exactly what is untrue about what I've posted? Third, you seem to be saying I have a bad attitude. My attitude is realistic. You can yammer all day long about what you think EN should/could do. But at the end of the day, it does what it does. So yes, if it works for you, then great. If it doesn't, you would be better served to find an app that does. If I said anything else, it would be misleading.

No one is forcing you to do anything. This is a software app. It does what it does. IME, we often have to adjust our thinking/workflows to adapt to software b/c no app is going to do everything that everyone wants. If it works for you then great. Otherwise, don't use it. (shrug) OK. Good point. Maybe my words were a bit harsh. My apologies. My point is simply - why not include both functionalities, thereby making everyone happy with minimal effort required on their part? What's the harm in that? I can't speak to it but I'd guess it's a technical issue. EN lives on many platforms - that's their niche. That's what attracted many of us to EN to begin with. Personally, I've grown tired of migrating my notes from Sharp Wizard to Handspring to Palm. When I got my first iPhone is when I migrated from Palm to EN. I'm hoping I won't have to migrate from EN to anything else for a very long time, if ever. Seriously...how many apps live on all the platforms EN does? I suspect they may have restricted sub notebooks in order to make their app work well across all the platforms. This is all speculation. None of us who are only users can really say how easy a particular feature is to implement.

Oh, please. You are absolutely wrong that the evangelists thing EN should never change. Please re-read & comprehend the posts. The fact that you are "missing LaTeX support in Evernote: is no more important than many other users' "missing features". The likelihood of Evernote incorporating every users' feature request is zero. EN makes their choices based on several factors including difficulty of implementing across all the platforms EN lives on, ROI and priority. Some users will always be unhappy/disappointed.

Nothing new to see here. Please read this thread for your options.

BTW, not sure what you mean about "poor decision by the board". This is a users board. EN decisions are made by EN owners & top tier management. Not this message board. (Pretty standard company stuff.)

And that is exactly what people need to overcome. Really. Let go of folders/sub-folders. It's brilliant. Tags let you do the same thing.

Although I'm PC, the more notes/images/documents I acquire, I've found the folder system to be very, very limiting. Jefito's 'red, round ball' is a perfect example, IMO. "Easy example. I have a red ball. Using a strictly hierarchical classification system, where does that ball go? In the tree under Toys? Under Things That Are Round? Or maybe under Things That Are Red? I don't think that this fits nicely into a tree structure, yet it seems perfectly suited for tags (e.g., "red", "round", "toy"). " People like to say that the tag system works better if you have only a few notes & that you need sub notebooks if you have a lot of notes. IMO & IME, the reverse is true. The more notes you have the more limiting/prohibitive/harder-to-find-what-you're-looking-for a nested folder system is.

Does this have anything to do with Evernote? Evernote for WIndows stores its content in a database, rather than individual files, so it's likely not to be too effective for the problem described here. Yup, Jeff's right. A duplicate file finder is not going to help anyone find duplicate notes in Evernote.

Comparing Evernote to Dropbox is comparing oranges to apples. They are similar in that they are cloud services. Other than that, they are different. Evernote is a database of notes & since I'm guessing it would require a major overhaul of all the existing Evernote clients & the service, it may well be that to cover their costs, they would have to charge something like several hundred dollars a year rather than $45 (or free for most users.)

Well, I don't know what you expect then. This is a user's forum & we don't write this code. We don't control Evernote's priority list. So there really is no other answer other than for us to tell you to use a work around or adapt & use the software as it is or find something else. It's really that simple. Anything else would be misleading, unfair and/or a lie. It's that way with every piece of software, that is not your own code. If it doesn't work for you, then you either adapt or find another app. Please point out where anyone has told you it's bad to ask for new features. I'm pretty sure no one did. I agree with you that Evernote is great.

Funny b/c it really doesn't matter what "Those of you who think tags are a better solution" think. What matters is how Evernote functions. The way EN has functioned since it's introduction in early 2008 up to & including today is no sub/nested notebooks. It doesn't appear this will change any time soon. As for me, I find EN invaluable and prefer to spend my time using as it is (and really, I've yet to find a use care where tags don't function similarly to sub notebooks) rather than boycott/protest a feature that may or may not ever appear. If an app works for me, great. If not, I go find one that will. As Jefito says, that's why there's chocolate & vanilla. And if you think sub notebooks are so invaluable, why would you possibly need to try to get those who are ok w/o subnotebooks to support your request?

And no, premium accounts cannot make sub notebooks. As Wern said, stacks, notebooks & tags are the way to organize your notes in Evernote & there is already a lot of discussion on the topic on the board.

Please note that the OCRing occurs on the EN servers. Premium users have priority. You need to make sure you've uploaded your image to the EN servers, allowed sufficient time for them to process & then sync again to get the indexing down to your desktop/mobile client. Additionally, it's not an exact science. Indexing words in images produces a tree of possibilities rather than one word for one word. So the word 'house' may show up when searching for the word 'horse'.

This post is so filled with irony... I can hardly stand it.
