I can't see it either, and I don't think subscription status has anything to do with what you can see on the forums.  There was some forum reorganization a few weeks back, perhaps the linked post was deleted or moved to the archives?  Perhaps @jbenson2 can repost the link.

Over the years I have seen this happen with similar requests to Evernote. Starts out with a simple "Please provide a simple photo editor", but eventually blossoms to requests for multi-layer PhotoShop capabilities.

And I remember one post (8 years ago) that explained it better than I could. It was the "I want a pony" reply...

jefito on July 15, 2010

"It's more often a case of "Users may know what they want, but don't necessarily understand the implications of what they're asking for". BTW, this often means not only external customers, but internal ones as well, including your own dear company executives and other valued colleagues. From the age of 2 on, nobody likes to hear "no you can't have that." As in: "I want a pony." "You can't have a pony." "But I want a pony." "We live in a 1-bedroom 4th floor walkup in Brooklyn. No you can't have a pony." <pause> "I want a pony." (OK, I'm just making light, the passcode request is not an unreasonable one)."

"Anyway, it's pretty clear the Evernote folks are aware of the request, and they're not ignoring their customers. There's a difference between ignoring and not doing what they want. Dave E engages the forum visitors here, and I really believe that when he says "thanks for the suggestion", he really means it, as formulaic as is may seem (since he says it so often). But the fact of the matter is that feature prioritization is their business -- they know their resources, they know their technologies, they know their plans, they know their markets, and yes, they do have some idea of what their customers want (and what percentage of those customers are really affected by the request). That's a lot of stuff to balance, and ultimately, it's their business that's at risk."

If I was Evernote, I would be hesitant. Basic calculations today. Summary and Average calculations tomorrow. Statistic calculations soon. Slippery slope.

You have to hover over the caret on the left.

If you move the hovered mouse over the "notebooks icon" to the small arrow (caret), the information does not change. It remains stuck on "click to show all notes"

You have to avoid going over the "notebooks icon" by sneaking up to the arrow or sneaking down to the arrow. 

Yes, this is a piss poor UI layout.

There are three items that are on the Notebook line
1.) Very small arrow
2.) Notebook icon
3.) Text "Notebooks"

If you hover over 2.) or 3.) you will see the prompt "Click to see all notebooks (Shift and F6)

If you hover exactly and precisely over 1.) you will see the prompt "Notebooks count xx"

The reason I called this piss poor is that it will not work consistently. You can not slide from 2.) to 1.) because the prompt won't change.

The only solution is to first click somewhere else and then quickly sneak over to 1.) and hover to see the count.

I've mentioned this before. Terrible, terrible UI layout.

To understand the price increase, you have to have some empathy for the Evernote computer programmers who have to pay the monthly mortgage for 2,300 sq ft homes selling for more than $2 million in Evernote's hometown of Redwood City, California.

Sure, I will do so. I haven't checked yet but besides JPG and PNG, do you maybe know if Evernote can handle also TIFF and RAW?

 

Thanks a lot

Warning bells went off when I saw your quantity (500 photos) and again when I saw your interest in RAW.  

If you want to use lots of high-resolution photos, you should proceed slowly and cautiously. 

There are photo database programs actually designed for photo storage and searching, depending on the size of your photo collection.

In Windows, the skinny rule separator for merged notes is fantastic.

Here are the steps in Windows (it might be similar in Macs)
>Tools
>Options
>Note
Then scroll down to:
Note merge options
* Merge notes with no separator
* Merge notes with rule separator
* Merge notes with header separator
 

I try to check my Access History a couple times a month to see if any strange locations are turning up.

I tend to backup my database separately

Gazumped, do you back up each individual notebook in Evernote as a separate backup? I was under the impression that is what has to be done (Evernote Windows) in order to restore and avoid all the notes ending up in a huge generic notebook.

EN is experiencing significant financial difficulties because it can not entice enough users to become paid subscribers.

What is your source on the financial difficulties? Not some comment from years back, but something current in 2017.

Many .pdf files are larger than 200MB.

Yes, there are some people who have lots of .pdf files larger than 200MB. But the majority of Evernote users don't have a need for storing such huge files in Evernote.

I searched for my largest files and found a .pdf copy of an RV magazine in Evernote. (Cover pasted below)

It has 164 pages and includes full-page color ads. It is 73MB.

DreamWorks, I believe you are on the correct track. My theory is that personal software should accurately reflect the user's desires. 

I am a strong advocate of editing the Created Date to indicate the actual date of the event or topic, not the date I happened to enter the information.
 

You are not going to like this answer, but it comes straight from Evernote several years ago. I have not seen any improvement in the positioning issue of the largest smallest dimension.

A view from the other side. 

Over the past 9 years, I've accumulated 47,000 notes in Evernote. I tried a few powerful outline programs in the past but kept coming back to Evernote. In my opinion, it is easier to use the flexibility with 1.) my existing tags, 2.) structured titles, and 3.) Evernote's search grammar to view/filter/hide the info.

There are already a lot of powerful outline programs available.  Workflowy (free) and

Just on a lark, a couple years ago, I decided to see how big a file I could put into Evernote. I couldn't find anything close to 200MB.

The biggest file I could find was 73MB pdf. It is a digital edition of a 154-page glossy magazine covering the RV industry. It is loaded with large photos and advertisements.

Even though I already had 20,000 notes in Evernote, the file loaded fine. Search works great. It is still my largest note by a huge margin.

I find the way you have picked apart my post about my personal opinions to be insulting.

The purpose of a forum is to discuss a variety of viewpoints.

jefito's reply was not an insult. It was a thoughtful reply that explains a different perspective that you don't agree with.
 

In my opinion, the Evernote web clipper does a fine job capturing YouTube clips and the supporting information. I don't want large embedded video files clogging up the program on my desktop.

With one click, the clipper includes 

• an image of the video
• the title of the video 
• active link to the video
• description of the video
• number of views
• date published

Yes, card view was the thing I used the most!  BRING IT BACK!!!!  I am a Plus user and pay for what used to be a great service.  I will be cancelling soon if this doesn't come back. 

I also don't like that there is no real support.  When I emailed to ask about this, I just got a form letter.  Not ok when one pays for a product!

What was the gist of the response? Did it address your question?

Is evernote not from me? Should I find another service, if so which one?

Evernote is not a strong choice for managing a large photo collection. I think you should find another service. Google Photos works nice with amazing search capabilities with online storage. Flickr lets you store up to 1 TB of photos, but the connection to Yahoo is worrisome. If you need more options, you could try software designed for photos such as Adobe Lightroom or ACDSee. There are many, many others.

In Evernote Windows, go to >Tools >Options >Search

A clear statement from EN. Do they want to do this or not - or whatsoever.

That is such an important comment. I miss the good old days when Evernote employees were permitted to answer and explain why a decision was made or not made.

Some advice to other users - to avoid these sorts of problems - store passwords in a password manager such as LastPass.

Use the password manager to log into all your emails, even the old ones you no longer use, in order to keep them active.

And, of course, let the password manager create unique random passwords for each of your accounts.

Some people backup the actual database, but I prefer to use the Export  feature.

1.) What format do you export: 

• as a file in ENEX (.enex)
• as a single HTML Web Page (.html)
• as a Web Archive (.mht)
• as multiple Web Pages (.html)

2.) Do you export an entire notebook at a time?

3.) Do you have notebooks with lots of notes (2,500 or more)

4.) How often do you export everything?
