  1. If you absolutely need this, then the best way around it is to have a second account on your space-limited machine, and share notebooks from your full account to the other account. It's not a perfect solution, but it does have the effect of giving you control over which notebooks appear on that machine. The Demand Sync is new in the latest Windows beta, I don't have any feel as to how well that works, but it might be worth a try.
  2. Evernote can export to HTML just fine. Microsoft Word can read HTML documents just fine.
  3. The response (based on my ~8 years of forum participation) would likely be something like: "Thanks for the suggestion. We read all posts, though we don't respond to all of them, and feature requests are evaluated for addition into Evernote's products. We do not usually comment on or release plans for future feature inclusion". Or, as it says at the top of the forum: I see 0 votes for this feature currently. You should add yours.
  4. As a point of practicality, sorting 500 to-dos is a fool's game. Don't do it. You cannot do 500 things at once, so focus on the top few; the rest don't matter. Grade them into several buckets, e.g.: critical, high, medium, low, using tags, and then attack the critical ones. By the time you're done with those, you may have more todos, or the remaining todos may have changed priority, so reload from the next highest bucket, and repeat. Spend your time doing things, not calculating priorities.
  5. And you're expecting exactly what from the Evernote Twitter feed?
  6. This puzzles me. Round-tripping to me means that I can start a note in Marxico, edit in Evernote, and be able to continue in Marxico again and be able to pick up in Evernote, all without losing content. According to the Marxico site: If this is true, then round-tripping is not supported by Marxico. Once you add content to Evernote using Marxico, you need to always then use Marxico to edit that content. Which is swell, except that I edit notes on my mobile devices as well.
  7. As far as I can tell, Marxico doesn't really support round-tripping MarkDown <--> Evernote. Once it's in Evernote, and you make changes there, then getting Markdown back can be problematic, since Evernote can use pretty full HTML. If it works for you, then that's great (or or if I'm not understanding their web site then please correct me), but let's be careful about turning this into something that it's not.
  8. Maybe, but that's not what the original poster asked for as far as I can tell, nor what I replied to.
  9. Again -- two concurrent devices: you can log out of Windows clients pretty easily.
  10. ?? Let me get this straight -- you stopped paying and reverted to basic, and found out about the two concurrent device limit. So out of spite, you've decided to stop paying? But wait, you already stopped paying. Ooookayyy...
  11. Searching the forum for "selective sync" turns up a number of feature requests, including Windows client specific requests. Why not add your vote where appropriate rather than creating brand new feature requests for the same thing?
  12. Whitespace characters include actual space characters (' '), tab characters, carriage returns and line feeds. Yes, it needs to do so that lines are preserved. In HTML, line feeds or carriage returns don't count as end-of-line markers; you need to add markup to denote lines. That's what the <div>...</div> stuff is doing. Here's some excruciating detail on that: https://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/text.html. It may be that the conversion adds extra space characters into the <div></div>, but I haven't looked all that deeply into it.To do actual indentation, you need more markup, which evidently doesn't occur.
  13. OK, so I took a text file that uses tab characters (in C or C++, '\t') for indentation. Selected and copied a section, and pasted it into a new note in the Evernote Web client. Synced this, and in the Evernote Windows client, exported it to an Evernote format file (.ENEX). I noted that each line is enclosed by a <div>...</div> HTML markup pair (occasionally there would be a <br /> break markup tag, to denote a blank line). Also I noted that tab characters were preserved. However, as noted before, tab characters have no meaning in HTML except as whitespace; indentation would be accomplished using some other method (appears to be <div style="margin-left:80px;"></div> markup, at least that's how the Windows program does it).
  14. Depending on how the paste goes from the clipboard into Evernote web, indentation may not be preserved because in HTML (more or less Evernote's internal format), tabs and spaces aren't particularly meaningful. If there were some internal translation on paste, then it could recognize the indentation and apply the appropriate HTML markup, but if it goes straight in, indentation would indeed be lost. I'm guessing that it's the latter case.
  15. What is the original application (where you pasted from)? Is it a text editor?
  16. I can't add votes -- I'm just a forum user like you, though with some minor moderation abilities (like the ability to move posts to more appropriate subforums)
  17. No, it does not work this way. If you create a tag, it sticks around until you explicitly delete it.
  18. This is the takeaway, as far as I'm concerned. That may change with the new leadership team, but when I look at Evernote, I see a lot of similarities with GMail (in terms of their approaches to organization and search), and I don't believe that GMail has password protected folders either (for reference, see this, this, this, etc.). Not conclusive, but telling, to my mind. After digging a bit, I also came up with this Evernote forum thread that seems to show the flavor of Evernote's thinking on the topic, as espoused by their then-CTO Dave Engberg. (note: i didn't read past the first two (of 32!) thread pages). I don't see that that's changed.
  19. Except, except, except. Except that we don't know if the person I replied to had that problem or not. The feature design is that you can send note content, as opposed to just a URL, via email. It appeared that they didn't know about that, and not surprisingly so, since it's not in an obvious location. Let's solve the user's immediate problem first, and if the bug manifests itself, then that's a bug for Evernote to address. If it doesn't, then that's job done here.
  20. No. You can share a static copy of a via email as well, though it's not accessible via the standard Share button. It's under "More Sharing" under the standard note menu..
  21. Well, if that isn't ironic, I 'll need to ask Alanis Morrisette what is...
  22. At a guess, full Markdown support would be a pain: round-tripping between Markdown and HTML (more or less Evernote's internal format) is not well-defined. Providing a way to input via Markdown is probably helpful, but rendering a page that comes from an arbitrary web clipping into would probably not be a great user experience (I've seen this in action in the Atlassian Wiki product; drove me absolutely crazy). Note that Evernote have never said anything about its feasibility, or even whether they'll ever provide it. They rarely do. If it's critical for your use case, then it's pretty much a no-go; always choose the tools that exist, not the ones that you want to exist.
  23. Totally credible. It's just software. Making software involves making choices, and users of software can make choices, too. This feature would be nice, but the fact that it's not available is not proof that the sky is falling. We, all of us, live in a world of imperfection. When has it not been thus?
