  1. I doubt that they'll do that, particularly in light of the fact that they just made a move to simplify their pricing plans, from 3 down to 2. But hey, you never know. But in the interest in generating feedback for them, what would you suggest would be the a la carte feature sets?
  2. There's nothing stopping you from just formatting the code using Courier New, is there? Beyond that, there's not that much special about Evernote code blocks except for the outline and background color; you don't get any special text handling, syntax coloring, tab support, etc. Yes, I am a software developer, and I use Evernote for my job and related research.
  3. It doesn't organize your notes, but it certainly provides some powerful ways to do so yourself. That may depend on your use case or how you're going about organizing. I don't try to maintain indexes of everything, or link lots of stuff from master notes. I aim to keep my organizational overhead low, and use search to find what I need. I do tend to do more organizational stuff on my work account, and do more often tie related notes together using note links and master notes, but even so, my goal is to not spend lots of time organizing. I get paid to accomplish my tasks, not to organize them. I don't understand how these mechanisms work. I am intrigued by the organizational feature Spaces that is already in use in the Evernote business edition, promised to come at some point for the personal editions. We'll see how that plays out. I don't think that automatically activating the searches every time you open the note is the intent of the original suggestion. Just a simple way of embedding and activating them in a note. Besides all that, as Cal notes, searches are pretty quick anyhow.
  4. I just re-upped, but at the $69.99/year rate... ...feelings of unlove... Kidding, I'm actually OK with that. Now if we start running coffee tariffs, that would seriously hurt...
  5. From Evernote docs on encryption (https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/208314128-What-type-of-encryption-does-Evernote-use-). I italicized the part where they talk about the encryption passphrase. I don't believe that being able to get into an Evernote account gets you access to encrypted content in the notes; you need to also know the passphrase. It's possible, I suppose (and I found a web site that claims this), that encrypted content is stored unencrypted in your local database (I use the WIndows client), but I'd need to dig to be able to verify it. The same website also claims that the encrypted is stored internally as unencrypted so that it can be searched for, but that doesn't seem to hold true, so I'd take the former with a grain of salt If you export a note with encrypted content to Evernote format (.ENEX), the encrypted part is indeed exported as encrypted.
  6. Um, having noted that it's OK to discuss topicality here, then why is my comment about topicality in the forums inappropriate? A question of relevance was raised; you asked a question (of DTLow) about "Who made you the Relevance Judge". My answer is that we all are. BTW, if you'd bothered to read it, you'd have seen that I never actually said or implied that anyone's remark here, including yours, were un-pertinent, inappropriate, or irrelevant, nor did I tell anyone that they don't have the right to speak here: "Note that I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with anyone here, just trying to point out the ground rules as I understand them" The caution is that we should try to keep as much as possible to the original topic, and open a new topic if required. Not seeing it either. I've used it in the past, though I stopped using it awhile back.
  7. Discussions of topicality are usually themselves on-topic, based on my experience with Internet forums and newsgroups. Sort of goes hand-in-hand with this forum's Code of Conduct rule, which enjoins us to "not interrupt someone else’s thread in an attempt to change the topic or request support for a different issue. If you have a different issue, find the appropriate thread or create a new one for the issue you’re encountering." Sometimes folks need to be reminded to stay on topic (and I include myself), and to continue issues that don't relate to the current one to an appropriate location elsewhere. Note that I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with anyone here, just trying to point out the ground rules as I understand them ( @ShaneD -- dunno if this is something to clarify in the CoC, BTW). It is true (and well-known) that there are alternatives to Evernote out there; just remember that there's a limit to how detailed discussions on the Evernote forums are allowed to get with respect to using/operating those alternatives -- we were cautioned about this in the very long Subscription Price Increase topic awhile back. Not that that's happened here, in my opinion, and not that I'd be the one to make that call anyways. Short form: we all can be "relevance judges" (in the sense of posting opinions on topicality), if we choose to be...
  8. Wait, you deleted a notebook that you didn't create? I didn't know that you could do that. I do know that if you delete a note from a notebook that's in someone else's account, then the note winds up in their Trash, not yours. So I guess you'd need to get it from the original notebook owner.
  9. OK, so when you deleted the notebook, the notes in that notebook should have been placed in the Trash "notebook". Select the Trash icon, and use Ctrl+F7 to go to a list view of the notes in Trach. Note the Location column, and click on it to sort by "Location" (er, Notebook). Select all of the notes that have a Location that's the same as your deleted notebook, and right click on them, and select "Restore Notes". Your notebook should be back as it was.
  10. I guess the topical question here would be whether you think that printing should be a premium feature, and not a free feature. My opinion is that it should be a free feature. As far as I know, there's no difference between free and premium in the Windows client.
  11. If you have Plus, you can stay with it, at least for the time being ("we will remove the option to purchase new Plus subscriptions. For current Plus subscribers, nothing will change."). And you can use more than two devices with the free version, just not more than two devices simultaneously (and the web client doesn't count against the limit).
  12. ITYM 56MB... Otherwise, I pretty much agree, that it probably wouldn't make that much difference. There's certainly some inefficiency running a 32-bit application on a 64-bit OS; there's a layer that acts like the 32-bit OS API, and translates the parameters and results back-and-forth, but Windows API calls are typically kernel calls anyways, which is a slowdown anyways. I suppose that the availability of more addressable storage might make it easier for Evernote to cache more of the database in memory, but Evernote uses SQLite as its database engine, so the caching could take place there. Porting 32-bits to 64-bits is not always fun / easy, and so may be a lower priority task for Evernote at this time. It wouldn't hurt, but maybe there's other things they'd rather be doing...
  13. You said: "Also putting Evernote on a credit card and paying it over time = paying interest charges and it makes it even more expensive.........". My response was just that the "more expensive" bit is nothing to do with Evernote, as you say (Evernote has no responsibility for people paying their bill over time or not), so shouldn't really be a factor in this discussion. You said "I still wished that they offered a consumer version only without trying to jam all of the business stuff down our accounts," the implication being that there's a bunch of business-only stuff that's forced on unwilling users. I'd agree with your choice of Work Chat and Presentations to some degree, but Business Card scan is perfectly useful for personal use ("hey, I need to archive the business card of that contractor I used last year so I don't forget it") and multiple accounts are useful outside of business as well (curiously, I pay for my personal premium edition, but use a freebie at work, though I share notebooks back and forth to some degree). Part of that may be trying to entice users who aren't suited to the full-on Business Edition but find Evernote useful in the office (I'm one of them). I would never want to be forced into a Business account for my purposes. I'm happy to have some of these features, and just ignore the others, so no harm, no foul. And therein lies the rub: your vision of what constitutes unnecessary features differs from mine, and Evernote's evidently. No offense taken.
  14. Pay your credit card on time, and no problem. If you don't, then don't blame that on Evernote... Free, Plus, and Premium are all perfectly suited for personal uses. What would you remove from either Free or Premium that's so offensive to you (i.e., s "business stuff")? In other words, what is "basic EN"?
  15. Historically they've said that all forum posts are read by Evernote staff. I've no cause to disbelieve that. That's not to say that I wouldn't want more feedback and response, but I also understand that that would require a large undertaking (they also have other channels to monitor, Twitter, Hangouts, you name it).
  16. Haha. We are in the process of casting off the last vestiges of GoldMine, which was already being roundly mocked (and avoided whenever possible) by most of the non-sales folk 5 years ago when I started where I am now. It's like some Win '98 horror hangover and I won't be sorry to be seeing the last of it.
  17. One trick that used to work: if you have a gmail account, then an email like "myemail@gmail.com" is the same gmail account as "my.email@gmail.com", and Evernote didn't know that they were the same. So once upon a time I had two Evernote accounts that pointed to the same GMail address that just differed by a period (.) in one of the account names.
  18. They have to keep Plus around in some contexts because current Plus users are able to stay with Plus; they're just not selling any more Plus subscriptions. https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/208314118-How-to-manage-your-Evernote-subscription
  19. Let's face it; shared tags are problematic in Evernote, at least with respect to organization and other UI functionality, like the original poster's request. Seems like a rethink would be in order. A view (or setting) whereby tags from other accounts appear in their own trees would be nice, except for the fact that you might not have a full tag tree from another account. But at least a view where tags from different accounts are separated would be helpful sometimes. Outside of that, they work fine in searches, as far as I can tell, if you consider a tag with the same name from different accounts to have the same 'meaning' (which is not guaranteed). Maybe a way to search for account based tags would be helpful too. For example, if tag "A" exists in you account and in notebooks shared to you by Dave, then a search on tag:Dave:A would restrict to only Dave's notebooks (since his 'A' can only exist there), while a search on tag:A would search on all notebooks. Edit: 9/3/19: Forgot to upvote this. Done.
  20. Probably as measured by # of Plus vs # Premium subscriptions... And if Plus isn't popular, then that should make no difference. The Free users will probably never upgrade, while the Plus'ers will continue to keep their Plus subscriptions. The only downside is for Premium subscribers who want to save a little cash and are considering the Plus subscription. I'm not saying that there's no room for a middle tier; it sounds like the current Plus isn't cutting it, and maybe they're trying to figure out what the middle tier should be ("This tells us that we need to find a better solution to meet your needs."), This would be a cue to offer suggestions as to what that might be (or maybe support for retaining the current Plus deal, which you sorta did anyways)...
