Not particularly thesis worthy. This is just ordinary software development stuff. Company has one vision, users have another. Free market decides.

In the Windows client, Evernote supports exporting notes as Multiple Web Pages, one HTML file (and possibly one folder, for attachments) per note, plus one master index file. Notebook information is not retained, so if that's important to you, you'd want to export on a notebook by notebook basis. Tags are not exported in HTML export as well, so that's a downside. The Evernote format (.ENEX) is a documented format (text-based); you may be able to find a program that understands it to be able to to convert it to some other desired format.

Does it add anything to the 800+ posts in the current topic?

Windows? Mac? Android? iOS? Web?

Moved to the Evernote Feature Requests subforum, where it can be upvoted by forum-goers...

Both of these are frequently requested, and feature requests for both already exist. I'd suggest doing a forum search, and adding your vote there, rather than making new requests.

Not being in the Real Estate business (but having moved twice in the past five years = 2 buys and 2 sells, using the same broker ), I'd aim to map this into Evernote something like the following: REAL ESTATE : A notebook containing all current real estate related notes. Each CLIENT is represented by a single master note that contains contact information plus a list of note links to relevant other notes. Tag with "Client" (so you can see a list of all of your current clients). The idea here is that the Client master note is the map to all relevant information and documents for that client. I'd also recommend having a tag for each client, so you can tag all relevant notes and be able to display them all quickly. Each Purchase Address (Property?) is represented by a single master note that contains relevant information about the property: address, MLS listing #/web link, etc. Should also have information about the property's status (Available, Under Contract, Sold, etc -- these could be tags) This assumes that you might have multiple clients interested in the same property. Tag with "Property" (so you can see a list of all of your current properties). Note title should probably contain address information. The idea here is that the Client master note is the map to all relevant information and documents for that property. Contracts: relevant contract information: PDF copy, status ("waiting for signature", "signed", etc.). Tag with "Contract". Note title should contain Client name and Contract title, at least. Relevant Client master not should link to this, possibly also relevant Property master note. Correspondence: Copies of correspondence (ail, email, SMS messages, etc.) with various parties (clients, contractors, owners). Tag with "Correspondence" Relevant Client master not should link to this, possibly also relevant Property master note. Disclosures, Inspection Reports, Title/Escrow: similar to Contracts and Correspondence above. Other stuff: I'm assuming that you have a roster of other businesses that do inspections, contracting, title search, etc.; those would seem to be ripe for inclusion in your system as well. Also, other documents you maintain (boiler-plate documents, checklists, information about your business, contact information for other brokers, etc...) Also, you might want to have separate notebooks to keep old clients and old properties (or maybe one Archive notebook), so they're still available (I'm sure that you get repeat business, right? ), but out of the way of your current set of clients and properties in your active notebook. You should probably have well-defined formats for certain items like clients and properties; you'd probably want to have note templates for these to make it easier to add new clients and properties.

Not in the 8 years since I've been using Evernote, somewhere near the time of the original post in this topic. Look for posts by user 'engberg', he was CTO of Evernote at the time.

Moved to Evernote Feature Requests subforum. Now you can go ahead and upvote it...

This is pretty much a duplicate of the existing feature request here:

Moved to the Feature Requests subforum, so that users may vote on it.

If the account was set up by a co-worker for your work, then you need to get control of that account, or the notebooks they created. If they delete those notebooks, or any of the shared notes, or remove the share, then that's going to be too bad for you. Assuming that you are using one of the desktop clients, you can save the shared notebooks by exporting them to Evernote format, and then importing them back into one of your own accounts. Do this on a notebook-by-notebook basis. Once you have then imported back in, you can share them around to your other co-workers, and you'll be able to create new tags again (under the same restrictions as previously: only the notebook's owner can create new tags). Once you've verifies that all is well, then you can stop syncing the old notebooks.

Just as a point of experience; Evernote staff don't usually comment on future features until they're pretty well into the pipeline (e.g., available in a beta or release). So I wouldn't expect an answer, though it's OK to ask, and you never know. But that's been a pretty rare occurrence since I've been coming around... On the other hand, there's nothing to stop you and your cohort from adding comments to a shared note, marked by your initials or other identifying name; maybe with highlighting. It's not great, but it might work well enough if converting your notes to Google Drive is onerous.

Just be aware that with ENML or HTML, you'll be comparing markup and text, which may be confusing.

Even better is to export to ENML or HTML, and compare those, as these are text formats, and use a file comparison tool: My vote goes to Beyond Compare. I use it every work day, and some non-work days, too. WinMerge is good too.

Please stop pasting the same post into separate threads in the forum; this is the third instance so far.

This is a voting thread. If you want to add your vote, then you should click the up-triangle at the top left of the topic header.

Not sure what the issue is -- a PDF file is *always* going to be a part of a note in Evernote: PDF doesn't match the Evernote note format, so it needs to be wrapped up in at least minimal ENML markup (you can't add Evernote tags to a PDF file, for example). And that means that you can add other, non-PDF content to the note, and that a PDF will always be an attachment. Second, the Windows client allows you to view PDF files as "attachments" or as single page display. Could the display be better? Sure: on Windows they use a third-party library to do display (and I guess) annotation; on MacOS PDF support is native. Oh, and one more thing: in Evernote for WIndows, you can right-click on a note in the note list, and select "Save attachments...".

Tags are useful for describing things (if that's what you mean by 'taxonomy'), and that's how I tend to use them, but because they can be organized hierarchically, they can be used to reflect hierarchical organization as well -- indeed, multiple independent hierarchical organizations -- with some caveats. The big one is that tag names are unique: if you use a, say, 'Language' as a tag name, it can only exist in one location in your tag hierarchy (or hierarchies). If you assign a single tag from your hierarchy to a note, or to reverse that to resemble a folder analogue, put a note into a single tag in your hierarchy, then you can navigate the tag tree in much the same way as you navigate a folder tree (in the Windows client, anyways). And that's across notebooks, if you wish it, or restricted to a single notebook or a single stack if you wish that. Sure, you need to tag every note if you want them to appear in your tag hierarchy, but you'd need to make sure that you're creating a note in the correct notebook if there were notebook hierarchies. Level of effort seems similar. Beyond that, I'd suggest that you already know how to operate taxonomically: if you use Google or any other search engine, it's pretty similar, mentally. Or just describing objects in your world of discourse. Mind, that's with or without tags, as you can filter on either tags or text in a note: you add tags or text terms to filter your note database down to a smaller set of results. But getting used to thinking that way with respect to the world of computing seems to be a hurdle (even though I guess we overcame it somewhat when we kicked the Yahoo approach to the curb after Google appeared). Don't know what to tell you otherwise. It doesn't look as though Evernote is going to change its mind on nested notebooks any time soon, if at all. I find it to be a great tool regardless, but it's certainly understandable that some folks may not be able to do without notebook hierarchies. Good luck...

"Sort by relevance" was apparently added to Evernote for Mac sometime in 2014: http://blog.evernote.com/blog/2014/09/22/evernote-mac-better-tables-image-resizing-hundreds-fixes/. The, er, relevant quote: See also: I don't know whether this was withdrawn later...

Which Evernote client are you using? Windows? Mac?

Just guessing, but this is most likely just a matter of the various platforms getting new features at differing rates. This is a brand new feature, implemented first on the Windows client, and I'd expect it to be implemented on Mac at some point, but the teams are largely independent and this doesn't appear to depend on any Evernote API changes that would require simultaneous rollout across all clients. They do aim for feature parity, though, particularly for larger features like this one; it just takes a while to implement across all of their supported clients.

it's right there, in the release notes: Evernote for Windows 6.3 Release Notes New: You can save setting for viewing notes in a specific notebook, saved search, or tag—as snippets, cards, thumbnails, in a list, in reverse sort order. When you adjust your view of a note list, choose "Remember View Setting for…" from the drop down menu.

Note that the topic here is rearranging notes in arbitrary order, not notebooks. If you want to be able to rearrange notebooks, you should make a separate request in the Product Feedback forum for that feature.

I think you'll find that HTML does support floating boxes...
