  1. Just starting Evernote per your request from last night - we're mostly volunteer helpers around here, so bumping isn't going to do any good and will just annoy the Admins (it's against Forum rules.) Due respect - if it's not working, then you need to find another way, like the local-saves to third party software that I mentioned. It may not be efficient or convenient but at least it works! Just typing / pasting / DnD-ing into a note window in the web client - up to 15MB in PDF and PNG files plus text, and it hasn't twitched on me yet... Edit: Now it's 15 minutes later, and the app seems steady as a rock...
  2. If anyone feels that optionally disabling the auto-recognition of clickable links is a worthwhile feature, please click the up arrow at the very top left of this page. So far we have 3 votes in favour, which is not impressive. Meantime the only viable work-around seems to be to use a word processing / coding app with the correct behaviour, and to save the output file from that action as a note attachment. It's then editable from any device with the necessary software installed.
  3. Hi. No similar experience but I don't use the web client to any great extent. Do you have any chance to copy the content of your note to a local word-processor and edit offline?
  4. Hi. Are you printing the note content, or an attached file? If it is the content, it might be feasible to use a browser on your device to log in via Evernote.com, find the note and then share using the browser's features rather than Evernote. Don't think it's a case of Evernote not wanting to allow their users to share outside of Evernote - anyone could always copy and paste content and / or attachments into a standard email anyway. More a question that a printing option in Android has never been available before, and it's not caused much comment until now. (And for the record I don't find that many other apps have a share function that includes printing - although I admit quite a few have a 'print' button...)
  5. Hi. AFAIK the only last update was beta-related. What Evernote version do you actually have? And when you say "no working" does that mean you get an error, incorrect results, zero hits or an endlessly circling green flash?
  6. I understand the frustration but Evernote has thousands of user feature requests for many different aspects of its operation - including the ones that still don't work properly. They're presumably working through them as quickly as possible, but they'll prioritise bug-fixing and the features in highest demand first. Maybe RTL hasn't got to the top of the list yet. Usual advice probably already in this thread: if you can't live without a feature - find an app the delivers and stick with that. If you can live with work-arounds, then stick around for a while and see what happens. Users' choice.
  7. Hi. Have you tried sync / uninstall / restart / reinstall ? - I have the same version on a Samsung Note which seems OK to display either theme.
  8. I'd guess Evernote are working on table features anyway, since (I also guess) they're a component of the global editor which supports all devices on all OS's . So we should see more improvements this year - whether or not that includes row height will depend on where that comes in the general priorities. If you're in favour of the idea please click the up-arrow at the top left of this thread to increase the counter. The more votes, the more likely you are to see this sooner rather than later.
  9. Good to see the votes here are going up (now 43). Just for the record, my earlier comment was more along the lines of a response to the 'request' to get this done in 2019, and the likelihood that Evernote will have a few other higher priorities than this particular issue - unless they're also getting flack from other channels on the subject. Although I'm not an iOS user, I do have dozens of major and minor niggles about how Evernote works on the platforms I do use, that I'm (still) waiting for the company to fix. I'm aware though that they have a huge range of platforms and OS's to address (and a lot of active users). Almost any change is going to take time.
  10. Evernote have known about thousands of improved features that different users would like to have implemented, from text styles and colours to better tables and lists, reminders and note-linking. They're probably working their way through a list of the ones that seem most important to them. No way to tell whether or where your 'long notes' processes are on the list... The way to make sure they're listed and move them up the priority chain is to get other users behind you.
  11. I understand your preference, but the fact is that Evernote isn't set up as you wish it could be, and even if they did decide to introduce some changes to suit your way of working (which will cost them a considerable amount of development cash), the changes won't be implemented overnight. Evernote might agree with you that this is a worthwhile change - but they will have other priorities to deal with. If you need your process to work efficiently now, you'll either need to change your workflow to adapt to what's currently possible, or find another app from the many great offerings that you mention that does the job the way you want it to be done. I would suggest you put a coherent summary of your use case into the Feature Request forum here so you can get an accurate view of how many other users would support it - the better your support, the more likely that the company will implement some changes.
  12. Hi - look for another app that offers "import Evernote notes"? I agree Evernote doesn't support jumping between long notes very well, but that has never seemed like a major problem to me. I just avoid long notes and jumping around. If I'm taking lots of notes about a particular event I tend to take a new note for each 'milestone' - the next speaker, the next action point - whatever; and tie multiple notes together with a tag or a common title. At one event the notes are all pretty much linked by their creation date and times anyway, but sometimes I want action points or some other topic separate from my own contemporaneous notes. After the event I can sort in ascending or descending order by Created Date and, optionally, tag or title and merge those notes together into one timeline if I wish.
  13. Hi. AFAIK, no. Check out https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.what3words.photos.android - and - https://what3words.com/partner/photomapp/ too...
  14. Hi. You're posting in the Web client forum, and AFAIK this doesn't happen in the installed app - certainly hasn't happened to me in 8+ years of subscribing...
  15. Good question. On the face of it you're no better and no worse off using this site - where you log in to a web page and get shown a random note from your account - than Evernote Web which shows you all your notes. It wasn't developed here though, so you'd need to ask on GitHub or talk to Forte Labs for the security aspects.
  16. Actually I add new text to the TOP of a note if I'm recording progress in some activity or other*. And I specialise in short notes, because Evernote doesn't seem to play that well with long ones. This isn't some sort of defence for Evernote - I'm just pointing out that I use a tool for what it does best, and avoid any operations that stress things too much. Evernote might be able to change the app to satisfy this sort of operation, but it's going to cost tens of thousands in development and testing (at least) and there's no obvious payback if its to satisfy non-paying users that 'might' then subscribe... and it's going to take a year or two minimum from the time they start - so anyone interested might well have moved on to other software by then anyway. * And for the longer 'story' notes, I add a new note with the same title or tag, rather than try to append another paragraph to a long text. I can find all my segments anytime I need them all as one document, and if I create a Table of Contents note I can then move the order around as necessary before merging them all into one document...
  17. ...the only option would be to use a 2nd account and a shared notebook set to 'read only'...
  18. If an app doesn't do what you need, the logical step would be to find one that does... I've seen other developers here quoting different preferred software for syntax highlighting. In a different context, and since Evernote doesn't do mindmaps or photograph edits I use Freeplane and Lightroom for some of my processing... With a LOT of users spanning several operating systems and dozens of devices I'd imagine Evernote needs a powerful incentive to invest in changes to the editor - and there are a lot of users with different priorities who want their <insert preferred function here> implemented first, not to mention getting all existing bugs and slowdowns fixed.
  19. Hi. Depending on which client you are using it should be easy to merge the notes into one - but to be clear: are you highlighting a block of text and "appending" highlighted sections of the same text, or are you highlighting various portions of a long block and 1) creating a main note and 2) appending additional text?
  20. Happened to me too... in FaceBook yesterday. My computer did the "Windows had a problem and had to shut down" dance in the middle of me writing a long post. I rewrote the thing in Notebook after things booted back up - saving to my local disk frequently- and then copy/ pasted into the post. Problem is that modern browsers seriously limit how 'smart' web-side apps can be, in the interests of not letting your system get taken over every 5 minutes by hostile actors. There's limited storage within the browser for 'in progress' writing, and if the connection (or the system) goes down before you finish a long session and save to the server, you're very likely to lose your work. So the cure is; unless you're taking a quick note, use a local app that can save to the HD while you edit your work, then attach the file and/ or copy/ paste the content into a note.
  21. Hi. A two-column table will do pretty much the same thing - merge the columns above and below the row your picture occupies and it's - almost - the same thing. But making changes to an editor which has to work across multiple devices and operating systems is never "a simple solution"...
  22. ? Looks like work-arounds are keeping most folks reasonably happy with this... and it's not inconsistent if all mobile platforms lack the simplified article option.
  23. I pointed out over a year ago that Note History (a subscription feature) provides an Evernote backup of all notes - which it does, going back to their first creation. Also any experienced computer user knows to backup their own work, because a failed device is much more likely to torpedo your data than some mysterious online data loss. I hope you find an app you're more comfortable using, but don't forget to keep backups...
