OK, this is really weird, but I can replicate pretty easily on the Windows client: Forward an email into my Todo notebook Update a different note in my Todo notebook Move to a list view and verify that both of them were updated today (minutes ago, in fact by examining the "Updated" field). Use search term "updated:day" to filter the Todo notebook: the emailed note does not appear, while the other note does as expected). This is broken. Use search term "created:day" to filter the Todo notebook: the email appears (though the other one disappears as expected, as it was created earlier this week). This is fine. Look slike a bug to me. Seems to work fine on Android, FWIW...

Um, sort of, but probably not what you want. You can isolate to all the notes in the notebooks in a stack; the resulting note list will be sorted by whatever criterion you choose, which can be notebook name. You can also isolate to notes across multiple notebooks using other search criteria -- by tag is popular.

In Evernote, there are notes, notebooks, stacks, and tags. No "folders", though it's generally understood that a "folder" is the same thing as an Evernote notebook. In any case... Some rules: A notebooks is a collection of notes, but cannot contain other notebooks or stacks. A stack is a non-empty collection of notebooks (no notes or other stacks). A note belongs to exactly one notebook. A notebook belongs to either one or zero stacks. Tags are labels that you can apply to notes, regardless of which notebook they belong to. A tag may be placed on multiple notes, and a note may have multiple tags. A simple structure might look like this: Stack 1 Notebook 1 Note 1, tag "Todo" Note 2, tag "Complete" Notebook 2 Note 3, tag "Todo", tag "Waiting" Note 4 Notebook 3 Note 5, tag "Todo" Note 6 If you tag todo items with the tag, say, "Todo", then if you filter your notes by the "Todo" tag, you'll see all of your todo items, no matter which notebook they live in. So from the above, filtering on the "Todo" tag should give you the following list (so long as you've specified no other filters): Note 1, tag "Todo" Note 3, tag "Todo", tag "Waiting" Note 5, tag "Todo"

Adding a new row to a table

Oh, a woise guy... woob-woob-woob-woob... -
When I clipped this, on Chrome in Windows, I got the title "5 Famous Film Places In Europe | Save A Train", which seems correct.

Adding a new row to a table

Take your pick. There were 6 actors who played stooges over their history (though Moe and Larry were always present; the third stooge role was played by four different actors). Gaz, being British, may not be up on the 3 Stooges phenomenon, so we can probably pawn off our least favorite on him... I would take Curly, as I can do a fair imitation finger-snapping "gna-ah-ah-ah" bit. My hair is a lot longer, though... -

The 3 Stooges ride again... -
Yah, sure. Any number have already tried; some do ok, some probably not so much. I don't see how anyone "makes a killing" in a crowded, diverse field, much less kills Evernote off. Edit: Afterthought: remember what Evernote is. It's a web service that lets you access your notes anywhere. It's a set of applications for the web and 4 separate operating systems. It's a web clipping service. It's a service that lets you forward emails into your Evernote note collection. It's an OCR service for your images. There's some AI (or some such facility) that determines related notes. It's an API for accessing note data, used by Evernote clients as well as 3rd party developers. It's a formal for encoding your note content. And more... I think that the cross-platform stuff is easier to manage these days, rather than going native on each device, but even so, creating an Evernote clone from scratch is not exactly a low bar.

Not sure why your separate note window is opening there. There might be a registry setting for this but I didn't see anything obvious. When I do this, the separate note window usually opens in a convenient place. In any case, for the Evernote Windows application, a separate note window can be closed by simply hitting the Esc key when the note window has focus. Easy peasy.

You should always be able to enter search filters that implement multi-tag (or other search terms) filters. Not as convenient as selecting from lists (which you can do on Evernote for Windows and maybe for Mac), but more powerful. For example: tag:JohnDonne tag:love For commonly used searches, you can save them for later use. Information on the Evernote search syntax: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/208313828-How-to-use-Evernote-s-advanced-search-syntax https://dev.evernote.com/doc/articles/search_grammar.php If you specify which phone type you are using (Android or iOS), someone may be able to give you more specific advice.

Just realized that even though I didn't previously have a dedicated dashboard note, I did use Evernote reminder system as a dashboard of sorts. Tasks I need to work on get a reminder date, as do my weekly journal notes and anything else I need to focus on near-term. Now I'll just add a reminder date to my dashboard note as well. 1 percenters FTW!!

Again, I think that at least part of the focus will be on feature parity among the various Evernote applications, including the web. For example, see the Behind the Scenes video on feature parity in the web version: https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/120633-behind-the-scenes-achieving-feature-parity-in-evernote-web/. Note that I have no inside information; I'm just going by what's been posted publicly, plus anything I pick up from various betas. Nothing yet on note merging that I've seen for the web or mobile clients, though. I definitely agree that having the web client having feature parity with the desktop clients makes a lot of sense. BTW, the rest of the Behind the Scenes videos are worth the time to watch as well. The crux of it current situation, as best I can tell, is that Evernote has focused on (and achieved, I think) financial stability and sustainability as a company, and is currently making sure that its technologies are something that they can more easily build on for the future. They listen to all customers, paying and non-paying. They don't always feed back.They don't always do what everyone asks. Evernote has a large and diverse user base. Not everything that you think you need is something that I'd ever use, and probably vice-versa. For example, I was shocked to find that only 1% of Evernoters use reminders (this came from the Evernote CEO); to me, reminders are critical to my Evernote usage. This is an age-old software development problem: with limited developer resources, what should be put in and what should be left out? A note on aging software: sometimes it takes a lateral step to get into position to move forward again. Lateral steps cost developer resources (time, money) and take away from innovation. It looks like the current focus is on taking a lateral step of sorts before that can get back into innovation. We'll see how that plays out. In any case, sure, lots of people are looking for/at Evernote alternatives -- heck, I (a 11+ year Evernote user) look myself, just to keep up with what's out there. But for my use case, Evernote seems to remain the best application available. Some folks fudge around with the Notions/OneNotes/Joplins/Bears/WhatHaveYouNotes of the world (all viable alternatives in some fashion, but all with drawbacks too) and move on from Evernote, but some come back. Evernote remains a hugely popular application/service in a software realm where there are diverse needs and use cases for note-taking and note-keeping applications. No single application solves them all, as far as I can tell.

Actually is should say "+ ADD TAG", but if you're not seeing it, it may be a restriction based on number of posts you've made in the forums. As the post creator, you should be able to tag it appropriately, in my opinion.
-
At the top of the post, under the "Asked by LDB" line, you should see a '+' button. Click is and type "Reminders"
-
No, not currently possible. Tags are just case-independent labels, with no special properties, and bear no relation to other tags. Even tags that are organized hierarchically bear no relation to other tags in the same sub-tree (except for one usage in the Windows client, which I've found to be pretty much useless, as it's a global setting, and unsupported in the search language).

Is evernote still being developed?
jefito replied to Holgergrunen's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Um. The Windows application has just received a new public update -- I track the betas as well. The Android version was last updated on December 16, according to the Play Store. -
Why not make a shortcut to your dashboard note. Shortcuts are generally readily available on all clients; on Windows, you can show your shortcuts as a toolbar.

Evernote Mac hide notes list

I don't understand what a "notebook sidebar" is. Are you on Windows? Mac? Android? iOS? Web? Can you provide a screen cap? -

Or right-click in a cell on the bottom row of your table, and select "Insert row below" -
Tagged Search Not Working
jefito replied to wussery's topic in Evernote for Android Issues (Versions 8.13.3 and under)
The search language should be implemented as it's documented. This is most likely a bug in the Android client.
