The sky is not falling on Windows any time soon... https://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_os.asp, etc. Sad reality: most users don't care about Microsoft telemetry and updates (updates have always been a pain point, so that barrier has already been crossed). You buy your machine at Best Buy or Amazon, or wherever, it has Windows on it, you get back to work. Most users have no clue as to which of the myriad Linux versions they should use, or why. Also, in my role as a software developer, we can't afford to chase much more than one OS for our product; converting our code base to some other OS (or more particularly, some other UI / API) would be very onerous indeed; we're just not going to go there -- the market just won't support it.

Which Evernote client? The Evernote for Windows client shows things pretty nicely if you have the Search Information panel opened (View / Search Information).

That's a different (and pretty popular) feature request; see It's a long thread. Note that the previous Evernote CTO (that's engberg, the first respondent) generally argues against providing nested notebooks in favor of using nested tag structures. It's possible that hat philosophy may change in the future, but I wouldn't bet my Evernote workflow on that being the case. If that were implemented, I *might* use them, but I kind of like how things work now with respect to notebooks, tags, and stacks. Just my opinion, though *shrug* No workaround, clever or not, for that specific case The only workflow that I have for situations remotely like that is to pre-create note templates (which can include formatting, formatted text/tables, tags, etc.) for various note types that I use a lot (weekly journal and bug tickets, mainly) and use the Evernote for Windows' "Copy Note..." command to create a new instance of the note in its appropriate notebook.

An Google search for "evernote free vs premium" turned up the following as hit #1: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/209005157-Which-Evernote-product-is-right-for-me-

Sorry, but "it will be interesting to see how many Windows <x> users move over to Linux when Microsoft does <Y>" is a meme that hasn't achieved significant reality in the many years since I've been hearing it. There are segments where Linux is strong, but the average Windows user's desktop is not one of them.

If you want this type of functionality, why not just use tags as your virtual notebooks? Tags already have the property that you want (namely, a note can "belong" to more than one tag). In addition, tags are hierarchical, which notebooks aren't. What you said earlier about your objection to tags (see the following quote) doesn't make sense to me in this context. Tags are as "visual" as notebooks, in every sense I can think of; click on a tag, you see the notes that have that tag. I don't see any salient difference.

The problem is that a candidate area can generate multiple valid words, depending on how bad your handwriting is (mine is pretty bad). This is all done on the Evernote servers, so they can't stop and ask you which word did you mean? Moreover, not all words that might be used are in dictionaries (think abbreviations, acronyms, variable names in computer code, and so on). Anyways, it's a good idea (I upvoted), and it's been requested before, but they'd need to change their processes and probably their internal format to accomplish this. In conjunction with this, it wold be nice to be have the ability able to edit the recognized text in the Evernote clients, so that you could weed out false matches. A couple of links that you might find informative: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/208314518-How-Evernote-makes-text-inside-images-searchable http://blog.evernote.com/tech/2013/07/18/how-evernotes-image-recognition-works/

One small problem with Evernote's OCR: it doesn't produce a stream of words from beginning to end; instead, it produces a set of potential matches for areas in the image, and stores them in the note. There can be multiple guesses for a particular sequence of letters, or possibly guesses for overlapping sequences of letters. So there's really no attempt to make a coherent stream of words out of the text in your image. It's really just a sequence of the guesses, and the pixel locations where the guess came from (the pixel locations are how they can do the highlighting). Other than that, that would be a nice feature to have...

This feature request is in a Windows specific subforum. Please find a similar feature request in the iOS Product Feedback forum and vote it up and add your feedback there, or if you can't find one, then add a new one.

Did you mean "specify searching for the specified text"? Or searching for the specified text in a single note?

In addition to what gaz said, right click on the Evernote notification icon, and look for the Clip Screenshot entry. Pre Win 10, the default was Win+PrtScn, but with Win 10, Windows has taken over that combination, so Evernote switched the default to Win+Shift+S.

Sorry, I don't know iOS (or OSX), just Windows and Android. Curiously, the tag hierarchy is built into Android (and obviously Windows), so you can do the simulated folder thing (I have other quibbles about Android search/filtering, but that's besides the point here). I can't speak to why it's not in iOS; one of those puzzling Evernote mismatch thingies, unfortunately. For that, I'll give you that "no, it doesn't work" in some cases and that's a drawback to the simulated folder approach, and I'd certainly be for having that work on all platforms. Given that the first post in this topic is 8+ years old, and posts by Dave Engberg, the previous CTO indicate that he didn't particularly want to add nested notebooks (or at least didn't see any deep need for them), I wouldn't hold my breath (even though he's not around any more). My take is that it's fine to ask for them, but since they don't exist now and if you can't learn to love tags and they're critical for your use case, then your time is probably better spent seeking a different product that works better for you (btw, this is the general "you", not you in particular). That's hardly patronizing, it's just practical advice that applies to any tool you're evaluating.

Or I can take a screen shot to the clipboard (Win+Shift+S to activate the screen clipper, then hold down the Ctrl key while dragging to choose the Clipboard destination), and Ctrl+V to paste it into the current note at the current cursor location.

Should work the same way, I believe: if the tag exists in the notebook you're moving to, then it's preserved; if it doesn't exist, then the tag is not created. In the former case, yes, it's true that there are two tags (one from the local account and one from the shared account), and you can see them in the tag tree, but functionally they are the same in my experience (with the Windows client, of course): tag searches only use the tag name, not the account they come from. Also, in the Windows client, both tags appear in the tag tree (one labelled with the name of the shared account), but selecting one selects them both. I used to find that confusing, but I hardly use the tag tree at all at this point, and because the duplicated tags apply equally well to both of my accounts, and with the same meaning, I just let them do what they want.

Curious. I'm wondering whether we're talking about the same situation here. Here's my scenario: Notebook N is in my account. I have notebook S that's shared to this account. I have a note that has tag T in N. If I move that to S, and S doesn't contain a note tagged with T, then T is removed from the note when I move it to S. This makes sense to me, since you can't create a new tag in a notebook that's shared to you. If, on the other hand,T does exist on a note in S, then the note is still tagged with T when I move it to S. I tested these with my accounts on my Windows machine.

Unsurprisingly, the tags will be deleted, since you cannot create new tags in someone else's notebook. If I understand what you're asking for, if you have a tag that exists in your account, then moving a note with that tag to someone else's notebook that has at least one note with that tag will preserve the tag in the note. Only the tag name matters; it doesn't matter where it came from.

By replying, I didn't mean to insult you; I certainly questioned a couple of things you wrote, and I disagreed with a couple of others. This is a public forum, and different viewpoints are common and expected; sometimes disagreements are caused by misunderstanding or lack of clarity, sometimes by not knowing the problem domain, and sometimes it really is just different preferences/beliefs. Discussion can still happen most of the time, hopefully. I do understand that people have learned to do things differently by widespread use of file folders, but I think that most of us here can learn to use different methodologies (e.g. tags) as well if our preferences aren't provided for, provided that the tool at hand provides some greater benefit for using it. Of course, it's certainly fair game to ask for new features or improvements, but they may never come (nested notebooks have been fervently requested for over 8 years now, and Evernote rarely provides timelines for future features), so we're really stuck with the tool we have now, with its hierarchical tags and flat folders (that's kind of the it-is-what-it-is clause). Moreover, Evernote's capabilities and best uses aren't always known to newer users -- they sometimes even escape longtime users like me and others here -- so sometimes you may get explanation about capabilities that you may already know about. Anyhow, I apologize if I gave offense.

Does this have anything to do with Evernote?

And yet you use adjectives, which are entirely similar. Tags are designed to be like keywords: to describe the content of some larger document. They're really quite simple in that respect. But the bonus is that you can use Evernote's tags for organization as well. I don't see the problem. How are they too cumbersome? I clip or add some content, select one or more tags and put it into one of a small number of notebooks. Easy. To find it, I don't aim to search to narrow to exactly one note; narrowing it down to <10 will do, using a combination of tags and text, which is not complex. I do the same thing with web searches. ?? If I apply a tag to a note, I can go straight to that tag and I know that the note will always be there. Sure, strict hierarchical systems (which nested notebooks would be) are straightforward but they're not as flexible as tagging systems, since items may validly belong to more than one hierarchy. Tags can handle that situation nicely in a way that hierarchies can't. For people who really want to build hierarchical structures, you can do that with Evernote's tags too. I don.t but many people do.

I like to run Evernote barebones...

Not sure why you posted this here; doesn't seem to have anything to do with Evernote. 3rd Party Application Discussions or Off Topic Discussions would probably have been more appropriate forums for this information.

No, there is not. You can open a note as a separate window by either double clicking on it in the note view, or right-clicking on the note in the note view and selecting "Open Note", or by using Ctrl+Enter in the note.. Also "Open in a New Window" is the first option in the main menu's Note submenu. Not sure what you mean by "context"; I think that you lose the current cursor position and selection in the new window; it's not a problem for me as I tend not to have long notes.

No, there is not.

There is no support in Evernote for internal note links (what is called an "anchor tag" in HTML). This has been requested before.

Moved to Feature Request forum so that you can now vote on it...
