Even more, I think that Jack needs a hat resizer...

That would be one way of doing it, and it's not all that hard (not taking anything away from GM, of course:)).

I have no idea what you mean by "flippant comments". Mine? No -- they were dead-on serious. Evernote-built clients use the Evernote API. They publish the API. Evernote would like very much to build the Evernote infrastructure based on its API: the more users of the Evernote infrastructure, the better. They don't make money from selling clients, they make money from selling premium services, so they have no reason to sabotage third-party developers, even for platforms that they don't care to build clients for themselves (there's a big difference between "we don't care to build a client for platform X" and "we think that platform X should not be a part of the Evernote infrastructure" -- they run Linux on their servers, for goodness'sake: http://blog.evernote.com/tech/2011/05/17/architectural-digest/). As far as I understand it, they've been supportive of baumgarr and other developers. Here is what they say about the safety of your notes: http://blog.evernote.com/blog/2011/03/24/evernotes-three-laws-of-data-protection/. If you don't trust this, then Evernote may not be the product for you.

Urk. From my experience, and maybe it's changed recently, iTunes on Windows is not exactly a poster child for "great" cross-platform development. My reaction spanned the gamut between "wretched!" and "Uninstall". Java, on the other hand, is notable for its ability to make your computer cross-platform hackable.

Not in the Evernote client, no. You might check the Trunk for third-party programs that do so, but I don't know of any.

Look, let's get this straight. If Evernote change their mind and decide that they want to deliver an Evernote-built Linux client, then I would say "hurray". They'd have their reasons, and that's fine with me. However, I find it extremely unlikely that they would be able to change their API in such a way as to wreck a Linux developer's chances of making Evernote-related software; that would be stupid, and Evernote are anything but stupid. GrumpyMonkey is correct; the API is meant to be cross-platform, and will remain that way.

Sure, but in the absence of any actual support in an Evernote client for LaTeX, the hunt is on for feasible workarounds.

Seeing as how this is something that's been asked for for at least a couple of years (Forum search is handy), you may need to wait a few more releases...

Um, if you say so,,,

One idea that's been batted around (by us users anyways) is the notion of an embedded search link: a saved search that you can stick in a note, such that when you click on it, it executes the search. This would fill the bill, I'd guess, and have plenty of other uses too.

I am having better luck using the Zapier service, using the GMail --> Evernote rule. The message content isn't visible by default, but you can add the {{message}} field to include it. I'm using the following as my Evernote note content: To: {{to_name}} ({{to_address}}) From: {{from_name}} ({{from_address}}) Subject: {{subject}} Date: {{date}} Message: {{message}}

Duplicating a note as a general strategy doesn't scale too well. You can use note links to refer to a single note from multiple places, if you want. Unfortunately, note links need to be contained in a note in the Evernote system. Using tags, per BnF, is probably the best answer in the current Evernote.

Heh -- can't do that anymore, if you also include Business notebooks. Gotta keep those notebooks in their own corral.

These points are not lost; they are by now belabored -- everyone here (including Evernote) understands the desire for this feature, whether it be via LaTex or some other means. And I agree that it's valid to request such a feature. But Evernote has chosen other features as higher priority. Unfortunately so. I suppose that's ironic (though the forum software is a totally separate program, written by a different company), but did you know that you actually can also do subscript/superscript in the Evernote web client?

You may stack owned notebooks (not folders) and joined notebooks (notebooks shared to you) together, at least in the Windows client. You may not stack Business notebooks together with either of the previous two types of notebook. Tags may well be the answer, if properly applied.

Actually, they do. Just not on all clients.

Whoa, hey, computers get faster and more powerful!! Knock me over with a feather -- Gordon Moore, where are you now?? I did not get the memo. Burn your old desktops/laptops -- they're dead, dead, dead!! There's a new sheriff in town, and they call her Ms. Tablet.

You can. There are two of them: NixNote and EverPad. What you cannot have -- at least at this time -- is a native Linux client made by Evernote, because they have chosen not to write one. It's really that simple.

Remember also that Evernote can tell which clients are being used by which users (though maybe not which users are using, say, the Windows client in a virtual machine or under Wine), and would be in a position to know how big the Blackberry market is. Remember also that the Blackberry client is a development effort that's already happened, probably most of which was when Blackberry was a lot stronger in the marketplace. Whereas a Linux client would most likely be a whole brand-new port, with maybe some code carry-over from some other existing client, depending on which language they choose. Regardless, I see this as unlikely at this stage, knowing what they've said, and also the fact that there are now two third-party Linux clients out there.

Perhaps we disagree, perhaps I wasn't clear, but I don't think that we need to argue the point. It's certainly a valid choice; your opinions (including lobbying for nested folders) are welcome here, full stop. It's all a practical matter to me. You don't have arbitrarily nesting of notebooks in Evernote, but you do have tags. That's a fact. And Evernote does understand that there are a number of people who want arbitrarily nested notebooks. They can't have missed the issue; there's plenty of forum discussion relating to the idea. But they have chosen not to deliver it to date. That's also a fact. So in dealing with folks who lobby for nested notebooks (some of whom do not understand the expressive power of tags, some of who clearly do), I feel compelled to let them know that tags are what are available in Evernote, and they are really very useful. If they weren't, I wouldn't be using Evernote. As far as I am concerned, tags are how you do organization in Evernote, if you're doing explicit organization. If that's a defense (or 'defence'; vive la difference! ), then so be it. Ultimately, I'd rather focus on how to use the tools that we have in hand today. Let's face it, if Evernote were to offer nested notebooks, how many of those 'cautious users' would actually make the transition? Not many, I'd guess; they'd just continue to use their familiar folders. GMail doesn't cater to that audience either, for that matter. And it's not just a matter of simply adding nested folders; there's a whole raft of underpinnings that would need to be changed across the entire Evernote architecture, plus a lot of UI changes that would need to be made across the range of clients. I don't see it happening any time soon, though obviously that's not my choice. My guess is that Evernote, as a company (but who knows about renegade Evernote employees? ), doesn't believe that it needs to offer nested notebooks to be useful.

Nobody said that it isn't a legitimate action. However, you need to be prepared for it to take some time before they deliver such a feature (and they may never do so), and put up with a product that doesn't do what you want in the meantime. So in the here and now, you pretty much have only two practical choices.

Nested notebooks is a long-standing request. Evernote has chosen not to offer it as a feature (though you can put multiple notebooks into stacks). For the time being at least, it would probably be better to try to come to terms with tagging as an organization tool.

Yes, I think that most of us understand all of that. And it's a valid request, but Evernote chooses not to offer this feature. Please refer to the copious amount of discussion on the topic in the forums. And in the mean time, I'd suggest giving tags another look (and yes, you can nest tags).

I think I figured that out when I did a filter on a stack, and then saved it as a saved search. Hope it helps with BitQwik!
