Hi. I generally don't make long notes. I make a series of short notes which I can find because of a common title or tag - like a project number or tag. My 'diary' is a series of dozens of notes tied together by the standard word 'diary' in the title, plus the date to which that note relates. A saved search finds all the notes, which are sorted in date order (from the title, not the created date - I'm lazy sometimes, and do this in arrears). I can search for anything in the diary by including the title keyword + the search term, and edit as necessary: and if I need to print off a day, a week, or a month in one go, that's pretty easy. Not saying it wouldn't be handy to index a note, but that ability depends on having identifiable header styles or anchor locations to search for, and AFAIK Evernote haven't gotten around to including those yet. Plus there are a bunch of bugs and little things like encryption and better print options that Evernote might need to work on - no knowing what priority they can give this.

Yup. New web client is a limited-feature Beta version. Best revert to the original client via Settings for daily use.

Hi. Have you tried clicking the tag to select it and then pressing Delete? What device are you using?

Hmmn. Can you use any other browsers on your work computer - Vivaldi forinstance?

Interesting. If I copy that link to my Android 6.0 phone, I get "cannot open the note since you may not have permissions to access it or it has been moved". Exactly the same link in the same email on my Android 7.0 tablet opens in a browser, with an option to 'View in Evernote'. Clicking the same link on my desktop does the same. The link shown in the address bar however doesn't look anything like the one in your post - it's pretty horrible in full - https://www.evernote.com/client/snv?noteGuid=16a69549-96ef-4159-8eff-1dcecfe35f95&noteKey=70b8824db700e211&sn=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.evernote.com%2Fshard%2Fs76%2Fsh%2F16a69549-96ef-4159-8eff-1dcecfe35f95%2F70b8824db700e211&title=Comprar - but that link works on my Android 6.0 phone! (Not sure if that helps anyone...)

Hi. Nothing visible at Evernote yet - see comments above

Indeed. There are no settings in Evernote (Windows or Android) -that I'm aware of- that would make this happen. I do get my link in a slightly different way... The share note option in Windows gives me a wider set of options, and shows the link as a URL. Are your links in the same format?

Hi. Which version of Windows do you have, and have you tried re-creating the link?

Hmmn. I embedded a public URL link into another note in the same database expecting it to jump to the other note, but that also opened successfully in my browser. Are you getting your URL through the 'share' dialogue on the note?

Hi. Some colleagues here use third-party handwriting apps which may have an automatic save option - I'm not a user myself, so can't confirm one way or the other.. sorry.

Not sure what the author of the comment means. I created a public link in my own Evernote account (i.e. it wasn't in a note shared to me) - and I emailed it to myself. If I click the link in that email on my Galaxy Tablet, a mobile browser web page opens to show me the note. If I click the link directly on my phone, the note immediately opens in Evernote. If I tap and hold the link on the phone, I get destination options. I chose my browser, and again the note loaded fine.

AFAIK the only way to alter the content (ie edit the text) of a current PDF file is to use a PDF editor like Acrobat or Foxit - full versions of which usually cost about 3x Evernote's annual subscription. Evernote allows you to annotate the content - ie add comments and marks. There's a reasonably full editor for Evernote Notes, and depending on your device you should be able to output that as a PDF 'snapshot' of the content. To change the content, edit the note and re-save as PDF

Your mileage obviously varies, but while Evernote is open on my desktop 24/7, I also use Outlook / Excel / Freeplane / Lightroom / Word / TickTick / Treepad / Acrobat / Airtable... Evernote is the index for all my workflows, but the execution wanders all over the place in terms of other packages. Some output files are stored as note attachments, and with others I'll copy/ paste content; but IMHO Evernote is for taking notes, not creating a perfect product. I can understand everyone wanting the option, and if it were available I'm sure I'd use it; but this is more about priorities and practicalities - what about the 1001 other requests that Evernote has for styles / colors / collapsing bullets / better tag & link options... Individually a lot of those things might be reasonably accessible legumes, but delivering a coherent package probably requires some planning. Anyway: none of us are here to say that line spacing is a bad thing, and shouldn't be available at some time - but as things currently stand, an external product is what you'd need. If it helps, saving a sample of 1.5 or 2 - spaced text as a template should mean that creating another note with the same spacing is only a matter of replacing the boilerplate text.

Hi. Is this problem only happening on a business network? Your firm's firewall may have blocked connections that Evernote needs to sync data.

From a quick read of the website - https://www.fujitsu.com/uk/products/computing/peripheral/scanners/scansnap/software/sshome/ - it looks very like SSH will 'intelligently' suggest names for your scans, and can store them for later retrieval. There's no mention of Evernote in the storage process, so I guess they have their own document store - maybe with cloud backup. Possibly an Evernote competitor - provided you are willing to limit your inputs to scannable documents. The naming thing might make it worthwhile if you have lots to scan, but the whole filing and finding part of the software is academic if you're going to move / copy content into Evernote. I'd have a play if my old S1500 was compatible, but this app is limited to scanners currently on sale. Don't recall seeing much about pricing either...

Hi. As illustrated above, your post seemed pretty loaded with generally negative views on Evernote's viability, which I don't think are applicable at all. Certainly (if the last CEO is to be believed), Evernote is now profitable, and has completed organisational changes to fit in with its expected growth in the next 12 months. It's as lean and mean a notation machine as it's going to get. Most of the complaints in the Forums are about Evernote not being complicated enough - requests to add more styles / outlining / mind maps / page layout / edit images / 'folder' hierarchies. And if you believe the 'average user' has given up, just check out the thousands of teachers / parents / productivity gurus posting out there with their views that "Evernote is the best" and offering templates from everything to packing lists to record collections. I don't think any of us can or should speak on behalf of users everywhere - Evernote seems to be doing pretty well (I believe it currently has more users worldwide than Japan has citizens...). I can certainly say what I want out of the product, but I leave it to Evernote to incorporate and prioritise my individual wants with the general feedback from everyone here and around the world... and their need to operate a platform that works on many different devices with varying screens, interfaces and operating systems. Your last comment I partially agree with - in the sense that adding more options and controls to the existing features would be unwise. I could live with Evernote pretty much as it is - provided the team can wipe out some of those pesky persistent bugs. ...And maybe a link to some kind of mind mapping tool so I can keep data in Evernote but see it laid out in a spider diagram... ?

Standard advice for better formatted notes, is: use a word processor. A lot of my Office and Mindmap files are attached to notes so they are available to view and edit in compatible software wherever I am. Providing the same level of formatting in Evernote as either or both of my go-to apps for those files would mean menus covering most of a laptop screen. And Evernote's version of formatting might not be compatible with, or as good as the stand-alone apps I use. Plus Evernote would probably be 10 times more expensive to cover the development cost. OneNote are sheltered by the Microsoft umbrella and they started from a different place. Maybe they have a better product - only time will tell. I do know it doesn't work for me in any way shape or form.

Sorry - if the standard startup folder isn't working, I got nothing on this. I don't use auto-start on my Windows 10 laptop(s) because I found it was unreliable on other software - I never tried it with Evernote, I just get everything going from the Start menu. I created a Group for my 'desktop' apps, and just click through the two or three I need when I start the day. It should be possible to set up a batch file to start several apps with one click, but I never cracked that trick either - I spent an hour trying to find the right magic words for the file, then decided it was far more efficient to just click the one(s) I need directly. And since I switch between memory-hungry photographic apps and big documents and spreadsheets, sometimes I need Lightroom, and other times I need Office - I can choose which apps to start without needing to set up different batch files for each one.

Hi. Not a Mac or iOS user, but in Windows I do know there's a 'hidden' Help menu in the desktop version which includes a couple of options to delete unused tags. The menu includes some commands that can seriously ruin your day if used incorrectly, so proceed with caution (and with database backups) but try Cmd-clicking Help for a possible solution.

@k9gardner - I'm not a MacOS user, so can't comment on the 'best' version to try, but if 7.2.1 is working for you and someone higher up this thread was suggesting 6.13.3, it looks like you are ahead of the curve anyway. Evernote have already stated they're not supporting older MacOS builds before 10.12, so I don't think they're in a position to say 'this works for such and such version" because that statement in itself lays them open to complaints of "I'm having issues with your suggested version, how do I fix them" and puts them straight back into supporting older OS's. Older Evernote versions are still available - from the release thread in the Forums if you can find the right one, and from library sites like https://filehippo.com/mac/download_evernote_for_mac/ If anyone else here is still using El Capitan you might get some better suggestions, but if it works - I'd suggest you don't upgrade from whatever you've got, unless there are major issues.

Not a Sentinote or a Wordpress user, but there's another option here - have a look at https://postach.io which "turns an Evernote notebook into a website". There are no limits I'm aware of, and the whole thing is free unless you want to subscribe to 1) support development in a unique Evernote add-in, or 2) want a really fancy website. You might also have to subscribe for stats on how many hits you get - I'm not sure about that. Maintenance is really easy - tag a note with "published" and it's online. Change the note and sync, and the website is updated. Easy.

I clip, therefore I tag (badly) ?

There are a LOT of users out there using tags quite intensively - and some of their histories probably go back 10 years. I'd think they (and I) would be mortally upset if tagging got deprecated. I use titles as my principle indexing tool, supported by searches to link multiple notes together. Where necessary I can generate a ToC from a search, and merge, edit or tag notes to link them more strongly if necessary. I don't especially 'like' tags as they current are: it's too easy to tag topics with different words for the same thing - "banks bankers banking" and throw in more confusion with mistypes - "bonkers". Much better if there were more and better management tools for tags (and links!). Just sayin.

You're not getting smacked down here - like @DTLow said, you asked, we answered. Sorry it wasn't what you were looking for, but we're not being mean - just stating the facts... Feel free to comment / ask for more information if it's necessary any time. There's lots of queries out there, so our posts tend to be short and to the point. Usually...

Hi. You can't. Trying 100 simultaneous clips would not only fail because of the bandwidth and connections required to copy and sync all the content, but you'd also possibly blow your monthly upload allowance out of the water and lose half of the ones that made it. It's not necessary to wait for a clip to finish before you move to the next tab and clip again, so you could always move pretty quickly through your tabs, clicking the icon and moving on... which might mean that the processes complete quickly enough so you only have 5 or 6 running at the same time. Even so I'd recommend checking after a dozen or so that you are getting the content you want by logging in via Evernote.com, or by syncing your local Evernote client. EDIT: For completeness, you could always set up Phrase Express or Autohotkey to step through the keystrokes for clipping -say- 5 tabs at a time. I'd keep the total pretty low, because sooner or later you'll run into a wall with too many parallel syncs and connections.
