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...

I think even a checkbox on the existing Windows "Copy Note to Notebook" dialog (that we get when right-clicking on a note in the note list and selecting "Copy to Notebook...") which says something like "Edit new note" would work for me. I would always leave it checked, much as I do with the "Preserve tags" setting.

I understand the utility of this, just a couple of points: First, there is no "note creation screen", there's only a note editing window, which works on already created notes. So adding a template selection control there is made awkward by the fact that you may be working on a non-empty note. But that's only a little awkward: you enable the control when the note's actually empty. Or maybe if you invoke it on a non-empty note, you toss up a dialog asking whether you want to replace the current note with the template note. Or maybe you offer to insert the template note at the current cursor location. So a little awkward, but maybe a benefit as now you have a way to insert boilerplate items into a note. Oh, and by the way, the suggested location for the note template control is not a good one: it's been stuck right in the middle of the note formatting controls, just not a good UI choice. Gotta move that somewhere else. Ok, second: just drawing a little button that says "Select Templates" is easy, but picking individual notes in Evernote isn't. There's a whole UI in Evernote (in fact, it's a large part of the main Evernote UI, the other main part being note editing) built up to do that, and it's not trivial, and even so, it identifies not individual notes, but a range of notes that meet a specified filter (and then displays the first in that range). But you need to build up that list somehow. Well, so the spec further says "selection of user defined notes similar to shortcuts", so maybe we'll go with that: how do you define those notes as special in such a way that Evernote will find them and populate the template list? There's no such thing as a template note in Evernote; all of that is on the user to define (I have a special notebook called, unoriginally, "Templates"), but one could equally use a special tag, So now you need to build in a way to make Evernote be able to identify your special template notes. Exercise left for the reader. But thinking about this, this approach just seems backwards. You're creating a note first, and them telling Evernote what note to base your new already-created note on. In my usage, I always go to my Templates notebook, and do a "Copy Note" operation. That's pretty easy and straightforward. But the downside is that every once in awhile, after performing the "Copy Note" operation, I forget to switch from the current note to the new note, and find myself editing the template, mistakenly. So what I would want is an operation that does the note copy and then make the new note the current note. That just seems like a more natural approach.

Request was made specifically for "phone app", either Android or iOS (the user didn't specify). No way to do this in the Android app, as far as I can tell.

Moved to a feature request forum, so that you all may now vote on this.

This is available on all platforms, as DTLow notes. This is not, however, a subfolder system; this is just a way to collect notebooks together. A true subfolder system would allow you to put notes into a stack, but that's not allowed here.

Moved to Evernote Feature Requests subforum, so that users may vote on this.

Moved to a voting area. Vote away...

Good question. You should be able try it out yourself (I can't at the moment). But on the surface (and without knowing how your team workflow works), it just seems as though if you have multiple notes you're going to want as viewable only, it would be easier in the long run to set up a notebook explicitly for that purpose, rather than sharing note by note.

Hmmm, could have sworn that around the time that the version of Evernote came out that moved from the Evernote folder to the user's folder I copied my database over to my SSD drive, and pointed Evernote there; no registry hacking involved. But that was more than a couple of weeks ago, so longer than my horizon for remembering details like that. Anyhow, thanks for that. I'm not using the store version, but that seemed like an unasked question in the context.

If you're using shared notebooks, then you can put things that you don't want editable into a shared notebook that has view-only rights. Or you can share individual notes as view-only. That's about the best you can do at the moment. If you're not using shared notebooks, then you probably should be in a team situation.

But can you still tell it where to find the database in its custom location?

Yes, they do. They don't always respond.

This quote is from the first of the linked articles. Seems pretty definitive to me. " On August 2, 2016, Evernote Touch will be replaced with the full-featured Evernote for Windows desktop app in the Windows Store. "

Your computer also allows you to set up different accounts; you can lock yours (or log out altogether), and someone else can log in under a different account. Your operating system has already provided you with the essential security features to easily solve this problem.

"Smallest-smallest" probably picks up small icon-y type things, the sort of things you *don't* want in a thumbnail: they're probably more like decoration than useful content. There's no real best algorithm, just thumbrules. You're always going to find bad cases with any heuristic. I voted this one up for explicit user choice.

I have a couple of special powers; being able to move posts to more appropriate locations is one of them. Any user may vote on feature requests (except for the original poster); the voting button is up at the top-left part of this page, next to the title. You may only vote up, not down, except to remove a prior up vote by you (a forum rule chosen by Evernote, I think). Vote away.

@Dave-in-Decatur Hmmm, interesting, and a little surprising (to me anyway). You'd need to get the skinny from a dev; that's where the old largest-smallest info came from. I think that the ability to select the thumbnail image would be a good feature, though. This should be in a Feedback forum; I'll move it and then vote for it.

At a guess, it's using the same criterion for choosing a thumbnail image. I can't see why it would be different: a thumbnail is a thumbnail.Notes in snippet view are displayed with a thumbnail (if any exists) and a snippet of text content,

As far as I know, they're essentially the same going forward (https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/223607067). This is the public announcement: https://blog.evernote.com/blog/2016/09/14/evernote-comes-windows-store-edge-outlook-app/

More likely they'd like them to upgrade to a paid account, but sure, if the two simultaneously signed-in device limit is too onerous for some -- particularly those who would never pay -- then it seems they'll likely take that hit, yes. Let's just say that the device limitation sharpens the distinction between free and paid tiers, and makes it easier to choose what to do...

Maybe now that they have a common editor (though I don't know exactly how widespread its use is), that's probably a good idea.

The upload limit is something I've never, ever, encountered, though some do in an initial rush to get absolutely everything into Evernote. Regardless, if you have your data in a paid account, then that's the only place that upload limits matter, I think. Using shared notebooks doesn't count against the upload limit of the account using the shared content; even adding content to a notebook that's shared to you doesn't count against you, as far as I know; it counts against the account of the notebook owner.
