sharing notebooks with non-paying users
gazumped replied to guycruls's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Hmmn. I did not know that - just tried to check, but generating any sort of a 'share' from this device (Dell, Windows 11, EN10) just gets me a link that opens a Log-in window immediately. Either something broke or I'm not doing it right - no time to check now though; maybe more later... Meantime this reminded me of the First Rule of Sharing - make sure test it out on yourself first to avoid embarrassment! -
Control Which Image Shown in a Note's Thumbnail/Snippet View
gazumped replied to marcelo's question in General Feature Requests
I think the number of pages on which Evernote have responded in the past has been in the same percentiles we're just talking about. Can't guess how many threads there are in the Forums, but there are hundreds, probably thousands of suggestions for changes, many in this sort of votable thread and many more which pre-date them. Evernote would have to fund a team of agents to respond to any given number - and where do you draw the line? 500 votes in favour? 100? 10?... and then (for I used to run a support team) you'll get the ones who didn't get a response wondering why those who did are so special, and those who did get a response pushing to know whether any work has been done on this yet, and when's the release date. The staff responding would be tying up time with managers and coders asking questions internally... I believe the expression "can of worms" covers the situation here. All of which is great for the competition who know what to work on and when to release it (usually about a week before Evernote plans to.) It's corporately better to say nuffin' and let folks think what they may - and let your team get on with their coding so you can release something you have already planned for as fast as possible. I do agree with you that Evernote could be vastly better in many ways - but given that they have a vast technical debt because of the client data and format they already have, and an admin debt in that they have new owners and (hopefully lots of) new staff on the job, my opinion as always is: "Stay if you can work around an issue - leave if you can't" -
sharing notebooks with non-paying users
gazumped replied to guycruls's topic in Evernote General Discussions
It's also possible to generate a "shareable link" which is something in the format https://www.evernote.com/shard/s2/sh/e701580f-ffc5-... when you also have the option to flag it at various levels. In this case anyone with the link can view the content, so anyone who has gotten to that page could theoretically invite hundreds of others simply by emailing it out. However the content of the page is not searchable from outside of the app so it's not a exactly a public page, just one that needs a distribution list. -
Hi. Always helpful to know what device / OS / Evernote version you're using. And for interest in this case - can you explain more please about why is it so important to have text, and not a link?

Control Which Image Shown in a Note's Thumbnail/Snippet View
gazumped replied to marcelo's question in General Feature Requests
So. 527 votes as of today. My maths is a little vague, but that seems to mean that .0003% of users here are vehemently in favour. Assuming there are another 100 or so forums where similar support has been expressed, that might move it up to .003% Hard to see why Evernote haven't tried to accommodate folks.. And please stop saying "this is simple". Changing Evernote's live code is like changing an LED on a racing car - while it's in use. I totally agree this is a nice to have - but if you really need this feature now., please cancel your account and find something else that provides the flexibility -
With the release of GPT4 I'm firmly in the torches and pitchforks group. Why in the world would you voluntarily connect your personal information (which includes anything you say or type into it) with a global entity that is massively faster and smarter than you and any interface device (other than another similar entity) that you might be using? We're talking superhacker smarts here and I hope browser manufacturers are ready for it. The possibilities are genuinely frightening - especially when you consider the said device could be given deliberately misleading input information or just flat out asked to influence opinions in one direction or another. And what about those messages from family members that sound exactly like they should / audio clips of celebrities endorsing views that you support? Any chance a virtual 'you' might generously give your savings to an (un)deserving cause? From this point on you can accept nothing as being factual. Check information from multiple sources / do things in person if you can - while it's not the Singularity we're expecting, I think our society just got disrupted big time.

Isn't this kinda like wondering why your Tesla battery won't fit in that Volvo diesel you bought? Given that Evernote has something like 80+ competitors, using different interfaces and many of them operating with different services like integral calendars - how much work would you expect Evernote to do towards making the transfer from their environment into a different architecture and a different coding? Plus each one of those 80-odd companies may change or add features at any time, and there will be new players - I found a few recently that I'd never heard of before. (One based in a CN domain and politely called "high risk" by a reviewer!). Any compatibility would be an ongoing and onerously expensive exercise. Since Evernote has a published API, I'd consider it the sign of a suitably ambitious and competent note-taking app to have provided an 'import' option that moved standard Evernote notes into their environment as completely as possible. But fitting square pegs into round holes is always going to take some user (or AI!!) involvement.

Hi Emily. We're mainly users in the Forums here, and there's not a high density of business users. If you're a subscriber too, you'll have access to the Evernote Support team via https://help.evernote.com/hc/requests/new; if not you'll get a faster reply if you make the request with your boss's details. All business ("Teams") users should have an Account Admin who will have some magic powers, which include giving permission for some people to see different notes and notebooks - which might be part of your problem. If you know who that is, they might be worth a chat. Otherwise you'll get a (some hours or days) response through Support. Meantime - your boss should be able to email notes to some people directly which might help you... see here for more. https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/208313328

Retrieve mom’s last notes
gazumped replied to remember.lily2021's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Don't know whether I'm missing something here, but if you can log into the forums with the account details, you should be able to sign into Evernote.com from any browser with the same information. Beware that Free accounts have some limitations about the number of devices you can use to sign in - if the account won't load it may be because you have exceeded the maximum number of devices. If you can wait for a while, the limit will reset and you can revoke access from all devices except the one you're actually using. I'll post a link below which explains more. If you can log into the account, then you'll be able to look for the last notes created there by creating a filter - another link below explains how - to list all notes created after a certain date - that can be a week or a month before your last conversation. The note may have been created before that and only changed shortly before you met, so check for updated dates in the same way. I hope this helps. I'm so sorry for your loss, but hope you can retrieve some useful information in this way. Device limits - https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/218558068 Filter your notes - https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/360050105293 -
Hi. Skitch hasn't been updated in ages - there are many other screenshot apps out there; maybe time to consider a switch...

Share note -- Note not found
gazumped replied to Tom20170's topic in Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 10.0 and above)
The fix for that would appear to be: don't edit the note title when using web links. I just created two notes "test A" and (you guessed it) "test B" and linked the two*, switched between them and changed one name, and the links changed to show the new name. Why that's different for web links I don't know - you could try asking Support? (Which is not us - mainly users here.) * using internal links in the format evernote:///view/120918/s2/e7eba1ef-0ccd-.... -
Restoring side panel shortcuts
gazumped replied to chuckkahn's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 10.0 and above)
? Shouldn't be possible in normal circumstances - I'd recommend a Support query (mainly users here) to share activity logs and work out what happened... maybe recover the situation. -
Hi. Have you tried searching for recent notes by date range? updated:day-2 (or created:etc) would give you a list of recent notes. If you copied the URL from that search page it will open the search page with a list of those notes.

Hi. No. New users take a little while for account set-up; existing subscribers should have more-or-less immediate access up to the maximum of 20 internally, and of course on desktop any note can be exported to ENEX as a template and imported repeatedly; or saved to a Template notebook and duplicated as necessary.

A lot of users were upset about a small number of actual humans having access to their data, but I'm not sure how widespread anti-AI feeling is going to be - where's the difference in your data being stored in digital form -vs- because of a particular pattern in that digital data it gets flagged as misspelt or needing to be moved to another notebook...? My favourite science expert Sabine Hossenfelder had a think recently about whether AI chatbots actually understand what they're processing - despite the blurb her conclusion seems to be that AI has a limited / partial understanding. (My attitude to privacy is a little complicated - I started tech support back in the days when we could see users' accounts - passwords and all - in our admin screens, and one gentleman asked me to read a couple of his emails to him since his computer was broken. While that sounds a little wild, it wasn't totally insecure - one of my colleagues got fired on the spot for writing down frequent-caller user details so he could "save time"...)

I've now reminded myself of where the switchover to 'classic' and 'previous' versions of the web app live, and there are two separate options there besides the latest one. One option appears to work, but the other gives me an "Oops" too - so either Evernote tweaked something in the background, or that old version of the page no longer works in the latest versions of the browser. (This is in Windows 11 using a recently updated Vivaldi)
