  1. See comments above - the way to get direct feedback, and help Evernote realise the scale of this issue is to raise a support request. The fact that a fix hasn't been published yet doesn't mean Evernote aren't working on it or that they "don't care" about Windows users.
  2. Hi. Windows or Mac? In Windows check Tools > Options - there's a setting in there for 'open new note in its own window' which might cause you an issue.
  3. An Evernote employee commented recently in another thread that they're working on a new editor, which is both good and bad news. Good, because it might allow an RTL style when it is available, but bad that Evernote is unlikely to spend time and effort on the existing setup until the new module is ready - and no one has said when that might be. When any changes are made, I'm sure they will be available to all account types - subscribers get the same features with higher limits, email access and helplines.
  4. No problem. This is an iOS thread - hence the misunderstanding. If you're on Windows, 6.18.4 just dropped - though it can be a little exciting being amongst the first to update to the latest version.
  5. Evernote won't cancel your subscription unless you ask them very nicely to do so. We're a -mainly- user-supported Forum so questions like that are well outside our remit. See below for more on this...
  6. OK - flagged 'em. Hopefully we'll see a response with a day or two...
  7. Not even a ticket number? If you weren't allocated a number Evernote don't know about your query. If you do have a ticket number and can quote it here, we can ask an Admin to chase the support team for you...
  8. We're a -mainly- user-supported forum and Support related queries raised here are pretty unlikely to get a response. If you're a subscriber I'd recommend reporting this via https://help.evernote.com/hc/requests/new You'll get a personal response (eventually) and you'll help Evernote understand both the technical issue and how many users are affected.
  9. Hi. As you're a subscriber, and AFAIK this should not be happening, I'd suggest you check in with Evernote Support. My icons in both Start menu and Desktop folders have been permanent fixtures for as long as I can remember. If there is a problem it's usually a quick and easy fix - see suggestions above. On Windows 10 I more often start apps by hitting the Windows key and typing "Ev" (in this case) to have Windows offer me a link. In most cases just hitting Enter will then start the correct app.
  10. Hi. Evernote itself doesn't have variable font sizes on mobile. They were talking a little while ago about Editor improvements on all clients, so it might be in the pipeline. Meantime I tend to use the mobile versions of Word and Freeplane and Workflowy when I need specialised formatting, and just attach the output file from that app to a note, so I can edit it on another device when I need to.
  11. Well, there's (more) money involved, but look at Filterize - it's a way to create (amongst other things), Tables of Content that update themselves depending on the keywords, tags or titles of the notes you add to your account. It is very very cool. I'm a subscriber, but not otherwise connected.
  12. Hi. I don't have this working, but if I wanted to look into it I'd try using Cortana (or any other personal assistant you might have) to create a note in Evernote. If that's not possible you might look at other automation options - like if your 'voice notepad' app generates a text file, Dropit can move or copy that file into an Evernote Import Folder which would automatically create a new note. The note might have the file as an attachment, or show it as the note body, depending on the format.
  13. I use Workflowy and Evernote routinely. Both have their own special strengths and weaknesses. I also use Lightroom (forinstance) because Evernote just wont let me edit my RAW camera images yet (joke). Lightroom sucks at note taking. There's no shame in an app having a special area of expertise, and lots of reasons why Adobe should try to add Evernote's functions to its app and vice-versa.
  14. Yeah. So Evernote works on Windows (various versions) / Mac (various versions) / Android (various versions) / iOS (various versions) and the Web (only two current versions!) and has 250 million-ish customers (let's just call them 'Japan'). It's available worldwide and 24/7. Let's not talk about the huge range of devices and screen sizes they cover, because around now my head starts to hurt. If you make a change to the package that breaks any one of the millions of existing use cases... someone will notice. Loudly. Invasions have happened with less incentive. "Simple" and "straighforward" tend to go out the window when you have that much of a juggernaut trundling along behind you.. 😁
  15. Hi. Lots of previous discussion on this. Long story short, a note that needs internal navigation is better off as a series of short notes linked by title, tags or keywords. I find it similar to mind mapping - any subject on which I'm writing a lengthy screed comes out as a series of ideas that vary widely in importance and relevance. A mind map lets me create little notelets around the screen that I'll eventually (hopefully) link together in a logical order that may or may not have any relation to the order in which the points occurred. That's why long notes need editing - I'm moving paragraphs around, correcting the logic and generally making a coherent argument out of whatever chaotic thoughts first came up. Short notes are like the branches in a mind map. I can create a note for each point, save a search for the common title or tag, and see a list of all my notes on this subject whenever I wish. I can create a parent Table of Contents note containing links to all my 'child' notes, and I can move those links around in the ToC note until I like the order they're in. Then I can either print all those notes in that order, or just merge the notes into one. Some users like to keep long diary notes - a year's worth of entries in one note. Same argument though - just have a tag for the diary so you can find all the notes or one individual. Added benefits include: not scrolling for ages to find the current entry not losing all content to a corrupted note - at worst you may lose a day It works for me, but YMMV
  16. Hi. I'm confused by the use case for enabling quick links to "notebooks, tags, searches". I agree better note linking is required - and I was one of the first to suggest a wiki-style architecture with [bracketed] words acting as links to any current note with that exact title, or creating a new note with a clickable link if one does not yet exist. (I like Wikipedia-style wikis.) If you have a specific link creation case in mind I'd suggest you check out the feature request threads which already have some related suggestions on which you could vote, or start your own.
  17. In the Windows universe it's certainly true that until you sync a note it doesn't have a UID to link from or to. However my desktop client is set up to sync automatically once a note has some content. Syncing can take a little while (seconds) depending on whether you are creating lots of new notes, how busy your device connection might be with other traffic, and how big a PDF you just added as a attachment. In my normal operations syncing has never (yet) been an impediment when linking notes...
  18. Hi. We're a -mainly- user-supported Forum, not the Evernote support team, so they don't reply to individual queries. Staff do read the posts, but there's a lot of traffic for them to catch up on. You could try Twitter and @Evernotehelps to see if they have any suggestions, but there are quite a few iOS users around here (sadly, not me...) and if there were a good answer to this thread, I'd imagine it would have been posted by now. It is odd that you're seeing a consistent old note though, because I understood that mobile devices don't store actual note content - it's downloaded when requested. Do you have any way to clear the caches on your device? Quitting Evernote and restarting might be a thing to look at... (caveat: I'm NOT an iOS user...!)
  19. Hi. You have paste and match style option in Edit, as well as simplify / remove formatting. It's also possible to paste to a text only notepad and copy/ paste from there into a note. Is none of this suitable?
  20. Hi. Haven't seen anything to say that Evernote is working on additional integrations, but as with Google Drive it's already possible to add a link to any cloud drive file as a note attachment. Google files just get a slightly fancier link.
  21. Might be worth a chat with Zapier to see what they could do with the Outlook meeting other than send it to Evernote. Could Zapier generate your template as an email? They're one service I don't use much, so uncertain how flexible they can be.
  22. I have no experience with this sort of issue, but I wonder - could you output your report as a PDF document or an HTML email and simply send that already-formatted file to Evernote for inclusion in a note?
  23. I guessed so. I have the same experience with Outlook - original emails get moved to Evernote where I can still open them in Outlook but they're grouped by project / transaction rather than by title or conversation. There's never been a way (AFAIK) to dnd the original .MSG file directly, via the desktop is the only route.
