"That’s why, starting in October, Evernote Web will count as a device towards the 2-device limit under our Basic plan." And that is why I will be moving away from Evernote completely now. When you took away any from of automation in the client (Applescript specifically) I downgraded from the paid version I had been using since... forever to the free version and stated using Devon for the automated things I used to us Evernote for. With two devices I put one client on my desktop and one on my phone (for photos). I would primary use the web on my laptop (my workhorse), though not very often as it was of such little value as crippled at it was (as you can tell by how I am just now noticing the change even though it was apparently in effect since October). Now I can't do that anymore, which has dropped the value of Evernote from low to none. I won't be deleting my data, but I won't be adding to it anymore. We had a nice run, but it's time for me to full peruse other options.

That looks just like the solution I need. Thanks gazumped. Ok, thanks Pinkelephant. I don't know what happened but I can't seem to drill down like I used to.

Ah. Well that explains the search. I use the AND a lot. If that's now a premium feature, it's gone. Which is a shame, because without automation I'm not upgrading Evernote. I guess I'll have to get used to Devonthink. I guess this answers my question, though not the way I was hoping. Thanks. (agsteele: I need pretty extensive automation. I have dozens of scripts that batched processed pdf files and assigned tags and boxes by the contents of the files. It's not going to be a quick fix. Thanks anyway.)

Still love Evernote, but I've had to move the bulk of my operations to Devon, which I don't like as much. There are several reasons, but there are two big ones. The minor of the two is searching. Evernote used to be very easy to find my notes, now it's very hard. I don't know what has changed, but it's lost something somewhere along the line. But the main thing is it's no longer Applescriptable. This is a killer, because I tend to batch process a lot of things and I simply can't do that with Evernote any more. (and even if I could, I'm not sure I could find them again with the current incarnation of the search engine.) So, my question. Is some form of automation in the works? Ideally applescript, but failing that a least automator operations or (I don't see how this can work, but I'm not an expert) maybe the new shortcuts app. And secondly, is more work being done on the search functions? Thanks.

Ok. It's been months and there is no word. I'm taking this as "No, we are not, and have no plans, to implement Applescript." I would have been overjoyed to have the answer be "Yes, it's coming back as soon as we nail down our feature set." I would have moved on, but been understanding if they had said "No, we are sorry, but respect our customers enough to be honest with them" Unfortunately the answer is clearly "No, but we are going to string you along as long as possible to milk you for every last penny before you move on." Either way, if no Applescript it was going to reduce my Evernote use. But now I'm reducing it... and I'm disgruntled and feeling used. Bad form Evernote.

Is there any "Official Voice" from the company here? I'd just like a yes or no at this point. It's tax time, this would be a good time to switch my system if I have too. I would rather keep using Evernote, for this, but no automation is a deal breaker. Please, if the answer is no we don't intend to ever implement applescript, that will be disappointing, but fair. What I don't want is to go though the effort of a big switch to another service and then have you pop up with applescript support in the summer. I just want to know what to do. Honesty would be appreciated more at this point than even the answer I don't want.

Curious if there is any news on this. I'm not going to quit using Evernote, but if Applescript is not coming back I need know. I"ve been working on scripts for Devon Pro. Not in love with that product, but it works. The longer this question goes unanswered the more likely I'll get my new system up and working - at which point it won't matter anymore. I'll probably downgrade to the free version of Evernote and move on.

Don't mean to pile on, but I use Applescript with Evernote a LOT. I mean, about 80% of what I put into is automated. I've been using (and LOVING) Evernote for years, but if we are losing applescript support, I'm going to have to seriously debate finding another solution for most of what I do. I put a lot of work into making it work well for me.
