  1. Thanks. As usual, I appreciate the correction. In which case, it could very well be based on TinyMCE, but it's gotta be tweaked for the Evernote specific stuff, I'd guess. (I write C++, too )
  2. ...moving to web clipper specific forum... Short form, per Evernote posts: the web clipper was rebuilt, and is missing some of your favorite pieces. The plan is to get them back in there as soon as possible.
  3. No. It's based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_Embedded_Framework, CEF 3, specifically.
  4. This page shows up as blank in Chrome on WIndows for me. Is it a publicly viewable page?
  5. In the latest 6.11.2 release, I paste the string into the Ctrl+H's "Find text in note" field, and it looks fine, but pasting it into the "Replace with" field, it expands out to the " <script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>" line noise string.
  6. I'm using the same version you're using. If you want to follow that particular version, the forum topic https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/112693-evernote-for-windows-611-ga/ is where other users leave their comments and issues.
  7. I thought that 6.11 was generally available (GA) and so not beta, but if you want a beta release, go to Tools / Options / General and enable the [] Enable beta features and updates checkbox, then Help / Check for Updates
  8. Helps to mention which Evernote client you are using: Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, web. Version number helps, too...
  9. As far as I can tell, it's fixed in the 6.11 release...
  10. What dictionary file are you referring to? If it's <blah>\Evernote\Dict\user.dic, then that's not being used any more. See https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/111873-f7-spell-check-gone/?tab=comments#comment-495280 for more information and further discussion. With the 6.11.2 release, here's what I'm seeing: * F7 seems to be gone; instead, then you activate a note by clicking in its body, the note gets spellchecked * You can right-click on a red-squiggled word (which highlights it), and add it to the dictionary or replace with a suggested word. If you add it to the dictionary, then you need to unhighlight the word before the squiggles go away (though other instances of the same word may remain marked as misspelled; a bug, I think). The added word seems to persist: after switching to a different note, and back, or shutting down Evernote and returning, the word should not be marked as spelled incorrectly * Unfortunately, it appears that words in the user.dic file aren't automatically imported into the new system. Also, the .bdic file cited in the link doesn't appear to change when new words are added, so I don't know where the new words are actually kept. Does the above accord with what you're seeing? Edit: OK, now I do see where the words are being kept; they're in a file named "Custom Dictionary.txt", but they're all piled together with a checksum at the end (presumably means that you shouldn't hand-edit the file), and no indication of how they're separated. But at least I know where they are now.
  11. Um, not sure what this means You asked the following: "Is there an Evernote client option for Linux?" In my reply, I cited NixNote, which is an Evernote client (software that uses the Evernote service), though not an Evernote-written client. Ambiguous question, possibly, but answered unambiguously, and nothing to do with Geeknote or any security incident (or non-incident).
  12. Not from Evernote, but: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nevernote/.
  13. Not really designed for that; Directly support isn't staffed by Evernote employees. Posting here in the forums is fine for raising issues with Evernote; they read them all. Feedback / acknowledgement is not guaranteed, though. And plans for Evernote's future development directions may or may not be revealed.
  14. OK, sounds easy. Oh wait, there are no subnotebooks in Evernote. Guess they'll need to create those, across all platforms and update the Evernote API to be able to deal with them. OK, then how is search handled? Are you saying you never want results returned from archived notes? Or sometimes you do? And if so, how is that handled? Is there an option to include archived notes in search? That's awkward. Is there a new search syntax for specifying that you want to search archived notes? The search language is not changed often, and affects all clients and the servers. OK, maybe not quite so easy... Edit: I'm not saying it's a bad idea, mind. But it's more complicated than it may appear...
  15. For historical reasons, we should note here that Selective Sync by choosing notebooks (and possibly stacks) has been a requested feature for some time now. This feature (though it's not called "Selective Sync") is available on the Android and iOS mobile clients. "Sync on Demand" (what @EdH suggested) is the closest thing that the Windows client has that offers similar functionality, without specifying notebooks. A slightly different workaround for this is to maintain separate work and personal accounts. You can switch between them if you need to on your home machine. Or if you need to see work notes on your personal machine, you can always share notebooks from work to personal.
  16. It's plumbing all the way down, grasshopper...
  17. I'm assuming that you're talking here about the implementation of the search differing among the different clients, and that's because the underlying note storages are different. It would be a shame if the search language was markedly different across the clients and the documented search language; I can't think of many examples where it's different, except minor ones, like not requiring a closing quote on literal terms in the Windows client, etc. I understand the issue, but presumably you'll need to to be making some changes to the search language to accommodate Spaces on the server and local sides (at least I hope you will). Maybe they'll be minor changes, but what a change to sneak in some improvements, right?
  18. Indeed. Fair enough, and apologies for the misquote. That's fine -- my take is that they're in a different segment of the market than Evernote. When there's a lot of tools out there, people tend to try a lot of them, and some tools work better for some people than other tools. I use Evernote as an information gathering tool much more than a note-taking tool: web clips, documents, weekly work journals (via templates), and yes, some note-taking, all organized using tags. I can rough out an outline easily enough in Evernote, but if I need to expand it to a nicely-formatted document, then it easily transforms into a Word document. Horses for courses. ?? Bit of a paradox there; your desirable feature that I don't want is feature overload for me, and vice-versa. I'm actually looking forward to seeing Spaces in the personal edition, because I can see a use case for it in my work life without needing to use the Business edition. Flip side: Markdown means zero to me, so it would just be extraneous functionality in my case. There's plenty of overlap between the two editions, and Spaces will live in that overlap, if they deliver it there as they've hinted. But they never promised to deliver Markdown anywhere that I've ever seen (but I'd welcome a reference if one exists), and I don't see how not adding it means that they don't care about individuals. It's just apparently not a feature that's high priority for them, either for the personal or the business case. It really can be just that simple.
  19. I doubt that Evernote is looking to "stamp Bear in its tracks". Their stance seems to be "Hey, this is what Evernote is. We think it's cool and can help you keep digital information organized, and available across your devices." But since you brought it up, it's of note that Bear is only available for Apple devices, and not even for the web (yet), so they have a long way to go before they get to parity with Evernote on the availability front. If you're an all-Apple user, then it looks like it might be a good tool, but for the rest of us, it's as good as non-existent as an alternative to Evernote.
  20. We've been promised a new version of the web client, rollout date uncertain. I haven't been able to track down the relevant Evernote employee post, sorry, but I believe that Evernote Business users have it now. Personal Evernote users will have to wait.
  21. Coincidence? I think not. Evernote uses the Chromium Embedded Framework as their editing / rendering engine.
  22. From the Evernote search grammar page (https://dev.evernote.com/doc/articles/search_grammar.php): You can do math on the reminderTime: term. Whether a reminder is set for any time later than 10 years ago is meaningful is up to the user; maybe they use older reminder dates for some special purpose...
  23. @Exavior Sure, this is not super complex functionality (yes, software engineer here as well, and also yes, I've implemented functionality like this before for commercial products), but honestly, is this really a high priority piece of functionality required by the general Evernote user, or a nice-to-have for a smaller audience? Remember, votes here in the forums are counted, but they're not the only source of feature interest gathered by Evernote. Even so, from outside, how is it possible for you or me to gauge a proposed feature's importance to Evernote and/or its customers? Do you have some secret source that gives you all the answers? I guess I need to assume that you do, as well as one that gives you your deep insight as to what Evernote developers do with their time. Me, I guess I am going to just have to trust that they know their customers better than me, and somehow have managed to accumulate a reported 200 million users to date despite their apparent "stagnate"-ness. *shrug* For me, the usual rule of thumb to any application or tool that I use applies: if a particular piece of functionality is required for my workflow isn't present, then I'll seen another tool, or at least a workaround. In this case, table calculations aren't a requirement for me, but a feasible workaround would be to use a spreadsheet attachment. Me, I'd be a lot happier if they got their basic editing down rock-solid, with performance improvements and perhaps enhancements like formatting styles first. This feature would be pretty far down on my list, but that's just me. You see it differently, apparently, and that's perfectly valid (and btw, thank you for using the voting system, and also for being a paying customer). But as far as I can tell, I doubt that you or I can really extrapolate from our own opinions and the visible forum information to some greater knowledge of what the general Evernote user wants most.
