Reported that for you.

This is a user forum. If you really need customer service (other than the actual postings of actual Evernote employees that you seem keen on ignoring), then you should contact customer support. There are many things that don't change despite perceived public outcry -- yelling about unfairness doesn't necessarily guarantee results. Go back and read what Dave Engberg said, and you may get an idea of where they are coming from. I'm not unsympathetic to the use case, I don't care one way or another, and it's fine to advocate for what you want, but when the official stance has been made pretty clearly, I don't have a lot of sympathy to those who don't get the message.

If you read the entirety of the topic, you'll see that the Evernote team (the CTO, in fact; about as official as you get) *has* chimed in already, more than once. They tend to not like to repeat themselves; if they change their minds, then you can bet that they'll may it public, and probably post about it right here, as they are well aware of the desire for an Evernote Linux client. The "deal with it attitude" comment probably a reflection on the rudeness of the poster being responded to, but let's face it; the Evernote stance should be pretty clear by now, and yet nobody seems to accept what the actual Evernote employees actually have actually said, on more than one occasion. Parse the situation any way you like, but at the end, we're left with a situation that neither you nor I can change -- what else can you do but try to deal with a situation you don't like.

I am not seeing this on my Android phone (Motorola RAZR HD). You might try contacting support, see the link in my signature.

There is a really simple answer to this. Create a blank note in the notebook that you want to link to. Give it the same name as the notebook. Use the link to that note in your sidebar. I tried this, and it works, but it feels like a bug. Normally, when you drag a note to the Shortcuts list, it creates a link to that note. In this case it creates a shortcut to the notebook (or stack) with the same name, but using the note icon rather than the notebook icon. Not sure why this would be a special case of the note shortcut; in any case, dragging a notebook or stack to the Shortcuts list accomplishes the same thing, and seems more natural that the counter-intuitive empty note. Even more to the point, none of these solutions does what the poster was asking for, which is make a link to a notebook that lives inside a note (the Master Note, in their case). Edit: Even more: after syncing, the link stopped filtering on the note's notebook, even more evidence that something's not quite right with this usage.

@Martin : you are not the only Martin Packer on the web. Google put you at #2 (counting duplicates) when I looked. But I'm sure you're trying harder...

Actually, it would be really interesting to read an in-depth explanation of why this is so complex. I understand that you have billions of notes on your servers, but you won't have to adjust all those notes, if you allow the user to override your algo-determined thumbnail. I would be all ears to understand that problem better... You should probably take Jack up on his offer, and open a new topic.

?? Are you saying that Mac / iOS users *don't* need to wait for fixes? You should probably read some of the forum topics by Mac and iOS users -- you might get a different idea... Nope, that's not what I wrote. I quoted you directly, so it is what you wrote. Unless you care to clarify, I have no other way to understand what you *meant*...

Please read the topic that's been linked to several times already: http://discussion.evernote.com/topic/22658-request-evernote-for-linux/, one just a few posts above yours. Dave Engberg *is* Evernote managment -- he's the CTO, and he has written very clearly about Linux vs. Evernote in the linked topic.

The posts by Dave Engberg about Linux in the linked topic for not building a Linux client are very clear about their rationale for not building a Linux client. They understand Linux, they use Linux on their servers, and they don't fear a 3rd-party Linux client; they're just not seeing the potential payback for making one themselves. That Evernote staff haven't commented in this particular topic here is typical; since nothing has changed, there's no need to repeat themselves.

One thing to note: the widget is a separate installation than the Evernote client. Not sure if that affects the Evernote List widget that Gaz is showing -- I can see it as well on my phone and tablet. It might indeed also be an Android version thing; both of my devices are 4.1.2 or greater. There is nothing that shows the an entire note's content. though, as far as I know. Maybe there's a 3rd-party solution, though?

Always thought that that was a strange expression...

I'm not snowed in, though we got about 6" of pretty fluffy stuff. But it's bitterly cold and we have a frozen pipe situation affecting one room. A good thing I didn't go into work this morning (conditions weren't great). Personally, I've never needed individual notebook sort orders, though I guess I can see the case for it. It's not wholly clean, because there's got to be some known behavior when notes from multiple, differently sorted notebooks are shown together, but maybe that just goes to the default.

A forum search on "notebook sort" turned up several previous topics, including: http://discussion.evernote.com/topic/30959-request-different-notebooks-different-sorting/ http://discussion.evernote.com/topic/43739-manual-sort-order-of-notebooks-and-tag-list/ Looks like someone found one of them, and added your post.

I'm thirsty. Must be time for some nice refreshing Koolaid!!

The comments by Dave Engberg above suggest that it's a UX choice, not a technical difficulty.

I think that the message is that Evernote doesn't appear willing to commit resources towards developing a Linux client, i.e., there is no "their Linux version", and there probably won't be. There are a couple of non-Evernote developed Evernote clients, however (noted several times in this topic) -- that might be a better place to put support efforts.

The only workaround/trick that I know involves using tags that have common prefixes, so that you can use wildcards on the tag names (e.g. "tag:tax*") to select one or another of the desired tags, which gives you an OR function in a normal AND search. But you need to have appropriately named tags to get what you want.

At a guess, they have heard of agile software development, and I believe that they practice some form of it (I don't know that they are true religious adherents, but frequent, semi-regular updates do give evidence for some agilistic process). Just a reminder, though -- the agile methodology doesn't tell you to implement all features that are desired; it just offers a way to deliver desired improvements in a more timely and continuous fashion, but doesn't specify which of those improvements are chosen or how they're prioritized. On another note: let's everybody bring this discussion back to a more civil and constructive place, please.

I do store code snippets in Evernote, under the following rules / caveats: Line numbers are not of any interest to me.Syntax highlighting is OK, but not necessary -- that's what true code editors are for, so I get that if I paste it into one of those.We don't use tabs in our code base, so Evernote's treatment of tab characters is not a problem. That's just a lucky break for my current job, the last one used tabs,If the clip source supports it (e.g. Visual Studio), I get a monospace font automatically. Otherwise (NotePad++ unfortunately) it's a select / change font operation, not usually a big deal. If Evernote had support for generalized style shortcuts, I'd use one for code, but otherwise this isn't a big hardship for me.

It probably disappeared when V3 came around (or maybe 3.5). A lot of things changed then, and the timeline view disappeared, mourned by some, but not me...

In addition to what Metrodon said, this sort of feature isn't what your premium payments cover (considering that the highlight feature is available to both free and premium users alike).

OK, folks. Thus is a reasonable topic, but since you're not interested in discussing it here, you'll need to revisit it in a different thread. Locking this one.

OK, kids. This has veered way off-topic. Let's trying to stop arguing about credentials, and get back to the actual topic, if there's anything more to add to the existing conversation.
