  1. Your situation, makes sense .. expected when editing .xls and saving .xlsx The situation I described above is editing like-for-like documents. Open .docx file .. edit it, save = "Resource not changed" message. same with excel sheets etc. This is a common problem for many, if not most users, answers are surprisingly scarces. Tickets raised vanish into unknown dimensions ... diversions and distraction s in place of direct answers ... most conspiratol ? There's something afoot I tell you. Skullduggery most foul. On a serious note, it used to work perfectly not so long ago, perhaps 2 years .. now it's gone (Like a Google Product)
  2. *** Edit Update *** This topic has been raised before but no conclusion was reached and it was for much earlier versions of the software. It was always possible in the past, to be able to open an attachment file (say a word document) , edit it, and save it. Evernote Android would kindly ask if you would like to update the file. This is no longer the case. Evernote Android simply replies with "Resources not changed"... which is simply another way of saying "The files are read only permission" This is interesting, because the directory where these files are located (Android/com.evernote/tmp) .. or something like that .. has full read/write permissions. Also .. these files are not located on the phones SD card, but internal memory, so SAD card issues can be ruled out. Finally, I've tested this with several different application. I've opened the attachment with Android Word, WPS, Google Docs, and even Office Suite (which was "endorsed" by Evernote a few years ago as the better option for editing attachments) (Conspiracy theory 1) Is this perhaps why Evernote decided to make linking to Google Docs a new feature? This is not a suitable substitute as one cannot search these file contents from within Evernote (Conspiracy theory 2) Curiously, OneNote users also have this problem. Is there perhaps an agenda to herd us sheeple to put all our documents onto cloud servers such a Drive/OneDrive/DropBox)?
  3. Hi Gock. I found another use for Marxico, and perhaps you could earn some well deserved revenue for all your hard work. I use the Marxico on my Android device (I made a shortcut to my home screen) because it's the only way to be able to correctly format text on the phone. This is the only way I can cut-paste test from different sources and keep font consistent This is the only way I can create tables This is the only way I can create decent highlights This is the only way I can enter formulas Marxico has given a lot of power to the Mobile Evernote user (even if it was not perhaps the intended use) Personally I think Evernote should partner with you to create a mobile app interface, or use Marxico as a layer and then build on top of it for folks who can't grasp MarkDown formatting. Marxico has solves every formatting problem on the Android device ... that's gotta be worth something.
  4. Whilst it is true that EN runs under wine ... I wouldn't use the adjective "happily" when using it on a netbook. Slow-to-the-point of being unuseable. The same is true of NeverNote. The only acceptable wine-related performance I've seen is by using an old 2.x copy of the portable version of EN (it was meant to run of usb drives .. I liked it a lot, but it doesn't support nested notebooks .....) Alternative for linux users? http://remus-software.org/
  5. It hardly takes a psychic to "predict" something that's already happened. viewtopic.php?f=43&t=13900 Nope, what you're referring to is someone trying to plug a linux client into the existing EverNote Server Architecture. What I'm afraid of, is someone saying "to heck with it" and build a client that "syncs" with either Google Mail, DropBox, SugarSync, UbuntuOne or just even one's own server. The Linux client you're referring to, is a side show, a distraction. P.S. The "Prediction / Nostradamus" allusion are tongue - in - cheek LOL
  6. Amidst the roars and cheers of the EverNote aficionado's there are quite mumblings and groans from the Linux minority, who want a native client. Yes, a web interface with a web clipped is available but it doesn't help when one is offline. This is what's going to happen. I know it's going to happen because it's a predictable pattern, and it's happened before many times with other software systems. (Call me Nostradamus) 1. Evernote will continue to soar in popularity, not surprising - it's a good product after all it will go well past the 10 million mark by 2012 2. Realizing that there will *never* be a linux client, a lone hacker will build a modified e-mail client* that creates notes** *Evernote, is in fact a modified / hacked e-mail client with added features. It is a great product because at it's foundation it's based on what made the Internet great in the first place - off-line pop email ** Each note is much like a draft e-mail note 3. The obvious place to link this "e-mail client" is into Google Mail where there is 7 Gig's or more space to store these "notes" 4. The client will probably be written in Java, but in any event, with the linux folks being what they are, the program will be open source and eventually there will be not only linux clients, but windows and OS X clients, with Android versions not far behind. Just as EverNote reaches the point of "Global Ubiquity" the free open source client spreads like a virus across the world. It's spread - ironically fueled by the fact that EverNote is so successful. Posts on LifeHacker blog and legions of 20somethings googling for "Free Opensouce EverNote" will adopt the hacked e-mail client and probably be installed on Ubuntu as a standard feature linked up to their "Ubutnu One" pet project. This is the inevitable path, what else could possibly happen? If I was at the top levels of EverNote Corp. I would kill this weed before it takes root. I would create a linux client par excellence, lest the open source spreads like a virus. Anyway, now sit back and watch my predictions unfold, exactly as I said they would. Enjoy the show. UPDATE: 2011 http://remus-software.org/ .... I told you this would happen
