Photo backup service —how best to use Evernote?
gazumped replied to Traveller1's topic in Organization
I just use an external hard drive for photo backup, and Lightroom (other photo indexing apps are available) to find themes and tags. I needed recently to find a picture of a steam engine I had taken, and had tagged it with all sorts of keywords that didn't help me find the one picture I actually wanted. Turns out Lightroom recognises subjects and searching for 'train' (as opposed to 'beach' or 'face') showed me thumbnails of all the railway pictures, including that one. -
Notebook I No Longer Have access to
gazumped replied to Walter 68's question in General Technical Issues
Hmmn. Can we see a screenshot of the message you see denying access? It's very odd for this to happen with your own notebook. -
URL to create a new note in EN web, or http://note.new
gazumped replied to gmbstn's topic in Web Client Issues
Hi. As a subscriber you do can send emails to Evernote to create a note with options of notebook, tags and reminders set by the title of your mail. Depending on your OS you may also have the ability to create a 'quick note' with a keyboard shortcut or a home screen icon. There's no URL though - sorry.. -
Notebook I No Longer Have access to
gazumped replied to Walter 68's question in General Technical Issues
Hi. Is this a notebook that you own, or one that has been shared to you? -
Hi. I had this issue for a while but then either it fixed itself or my random fiddling actually worked... since it was random I don't know exactly what I tried, but this has never been a major issue. My taskbar shows when an app has more than one window open, and it's pretty easy to blink the backgrounded window forwards. I can understand it is annoying, but if this is an OS feature (not-a-bug) I don't think there will be ways around it. The only hope may be that if/ when the Web version gets 'fixed', a browser window will be easier to control. Full disclosure - my lack of serious concern will also be due to the fact that I operate multiple screens most of the time, so Evernote generally has spare real estate to move into...

Share Templates
gazumped replied to JanW's question in Evernote for Mac Requests (Versions 7.14 and under)
A lot of things are planned but haven't escaped yet. A Forum section might be a nice idea - I flagged your post for one of the admins to take a look at - maybe they can make it happen... -
Share Templates
gazumped replied to JanW's question in Evernote for Mac Requests (Versions 7.14 and under)
Hi. I believe that when Templates were first announced it was mentioned that the upper limit on numbers would be raised and a sharing site / link added. It is still possible to public share a note which anyone can turn into a template in their own account - you could even ask here for anyone with interesting templates to share them to the Forums, or anyone with an idea or a need for a template to post a request... -
Editing on Evernote Web does not save automatically
gazumped replied to yenan's topic in Web Client Issues
Whichever version of Evernote Web you're using - try the 'other' one - switch in Settings. -
It's eminently feasible to keep notes in Evernote and store attachments that don't fit elsewhere, with a link from the note to the attachment. Bear in mind that in any installation where the notes database is downloaded to local storage - ie desktops - an attachment that is part of a note just adds to the size of the database and takes up more disk space. I have a Google Drive folder called "Evernote attachments" which is where my large files go...

Behind the Scenes Series: Improving Search in Evernote Web
gazumped replied to Shane D.'s topic in Behind the Scenes Series
Speaking as a part-time Linux user, I'm very happy that Evernote are looking at improvements to the web client. Until there's a native Linux alternative, that's the only way I get access to my account on one laptop. And the Forum is full of complaints about the web client missing desktop features, so I can see where the Herd is going with this. In other news Evernote have managed, alongside this web project, to bring out new Windows, Mac, Android and iOS updates. I don't think they're concentrating exclusively on the web. Relax people - lets just see where Evernote goes next! -
Behind the Scenes Series: Improving Search in Evernote Web
gazumped replied to Shane D.'s topic in Behind the Scenes Series
Hmmn. Good that we had this chance to see behind the scenes - good that Evernote is looking at ways to make searching a more intuitive feature. Eleven out of ten for an interesting video. I look forward to experiencing the new bells and whistles - but I have a luddite fear of apps 'helping' me to do things, because although software can react scarily fast, it still takes time and system resources to come up with (and select between) titles, content, author names. If I already know exactly which tag or title keyword I'm looking for, that's just wasted time and (my) resources giving me changing menus of a hundred different note options when I just want to add simple details to a contact. I hope Evernote will continue the practice of allowing me to switch OFF the search 'helper' in Options or Preferences, and just go back to a straight keyword match! -
Another option you're probably going to hate is to have two L-shape sheets of paper handy. These would make a resizeable contrasting frame around anything from a small icon to a half-page which the document-detection feature would take as suffciently edge-like to autocrop down to that margin. Depending on the material you're clipping, you might need light or dark paper for the edging, but it does work... There are several tools out there besides Evernote for copying and perspective-correcting (not Evernote) document images, but I don't think anyone has yet cracked resizeable cropping on a mobile device screen.

Bug: Card View has No Cards
gazumped replied to thommango's topic in Evernote for Mac Issues (Versions 7.14 and under)
Hi. So there appears to be a new version out there - read the thread before you upgrade - but the 'rebuild your index' advice might be relevant here... -
"No notes found" displayed
gazumped replied to Lise61's topic in Evernote for iOS Issues (Versions 8.24.6 and under)
Hi. And hmmn. Do you have a search active? -
What are you seeing happen? I'm assuming that we're talking about editing notes via a web connection and having notes, which show in the browser, but haven't yet been sent to the server, lose some or all of the content. In that scenario Evernote's local processes in the browser don't have the access to save content to something which might not be the user's own device anyway...
-
There have been various updates over the period and Evernote is continually trying to improve the service; but I'm not sure what we can expect them to do with this issue. If they never get to see some or all of the note content in the first place, they're hardly in a position to rescue it in the event of a comms glitch.

Auto text size changing
gazumped replied to James1234's topic in Evernote for Android Issues (Versions 8.13.3 and under)
Nothing new yet that I'm aware of - as you're a subscriber, you could raise this with Support and get some direct feedback - -
Nesting Multiple Notebooks / Creating Sub-Notebooks
gazumped replied to cswsteve's question in General Feature Requests
Hmmn. Lessons to live by. Give a someone a straight answer, and they know where they stand. Give some people an aphorism and they'll milk it for ever. Apologies for apparently disrupting this thread with the funny section... -
How do you get rid of Shared notes (shared with me by someone else)?
gazumped replied to hanseric's question in General Feature Requests
Hi @witherford - thanks for posting a detailed fix. Users should be aware that if you use any Local (unsynced) Notebooks, they are stored within the EXB file but they cannot be re-downloaded from Evernote. Local notebooks exist only on a single device. If you have local notebooks it's not possible to use this method of removing chat messages. Plus I think you have an extra step at the end - once the EXB file is renamed to OLD, opening Evernote will prompt it to ask you to sign in. When you do so, Evernote will rebuild the existing database from the server, regardless of using the 'add another user' option.
