  1. It may be well-stated, but it's an archived non-voting post: the only thing that counts (pun not intended) are the numbers at the top of this page. The more votes the more likely Evernote is to consider this, though the decision - and the eventual priority - is all theirs.
  2. Hmmn. Shift/Ctrl/I on my keyboard opens the "info" panel on the currently selected note! -Which is something useful I didn't know (or didn't remember knowing) too. A few more PE codes need to be entered this weekend I think... đŸ€«
  3. Just for information, and pending Evernote being able to consider this as an option at some point in the future, I use a "text-expander" - Phrase Express (although it does WAY more than just expand short codes into longer words and phrases) to insert the date and time in my notes in various formats, and to insert other words and phrases to avoid repetitive typing. I haven't tested it with the search box, buy I'd imagine you could set up a range of Ctrl+<key> shortcut to generate search terms like intitle: as necessary.
  4. It's a reasonable (and popular) request, but again - do you use standard laptop/ desktop security to lock your device when you're away? Do you sign out of Evernote when it's not in use? Why is an additional level of security necessary?
  5. As you're perfectly entitled to. I gave an opinion - I don't know enough about the topic (or Evernote's intentions) to argue more - just sayin'.
  6. I think we're pretty much the same priority as everyone else - but desktop users have things that mobile users don't, Androids do different things than IOS, and Macs and Windows users always think the other OS is doing better. It would be nice to have the dark theme, but - if you were reading all the posts - the Windows team don't seem to have the same kind of flexibility in the OS that Macs have. Maybe they're waiting for the OS to catch up...
  7. Stacey says: (amongst many other good points) Objection #2: “Notebooks can be stacked, but not nested. I need more organizational levels.” We’ve all been trained (through email, and computer technology) that the right way to organize things is to use hierarchies that are many levels deep – but it’s not necessarily the best way. If you’re using the search function correctly, it doesn’t matter if you can nest your notes and notebooks. The power of my Evernote organization system is its flatness and flexibility. If you prep your notes for search success (note naming conventions are key here), it doesn’t matter where your notes live – you’ll be able to locate them. Evernote's Spaces (https://evernote.com/features/spaces) is the closest they've got -so far- to nested hierarchies, but the concept doesn't seem to be designed as hierarchical, and is more aimed at multiple users and the Business client. (My emphasis..) "Every member of a space has access to everything in the space. So the information you need is easily accessible and always at your fingertips."
  8. Interesting, but I'm not sure how practical that might be... Evernote Web 1 was launched in the dim, distant past when folks still used vanilla HTML. It was a bit of a dinosaur - and rapidly fell out of touch with the bells and whistles being added to the desktop and mobile apps on a (more or less) monthly basis. Things languished. The along came Evernote Web 2 which was an attempt (then) to add the extras which the other clients enjoyed. At some early point though they hit a roadblock and very little further development seemed to happen. The 'beta / test / sampler' web version was dignified with a public release label, but didn't have much added that I could see. After a LOT of complaints about the continuing lack of features in the web app, an engineer came out of the woodwork and commented that web development had moved on so far since the initial version was launched that an 'upgrade' would have to be a complete rewrite from the ground up using 'modern' tools. That would take time he said. About 3 years ago. Then along came Evernote Web 3 (the current beta / test / sampler) which I assume IS the much-vaunted rewrite, now available at a web page near you and subject to a ton of extras still needing to be coded (or maybe just tested and QA'd). I don't know to what extent that new version is 'progressive', but I do know I'd far rather have a page that is responsive and feature-compliant with the other clients than have Evernote go back to first principles (again) and start working! Filing this one firmly under the 'nice to have' category! 😏
  9. If the note is all text, that's just normal encryption. If the note is an attached file in a particular format (PDF, DOCX etc) then you may have password-protected the contents. Maybe?
  10. Hi. This is a (mainly) user-supported forum so we can't comment on Evernote's campaigns or pricing policies. With a Plus subscription you're best off raising a support ticket - have a look here for some background... https://discussion.evernote.com/forum/527-administrativebilling/
  11. This might help... https://www.guidingtech.com/transfer-notes-google-keep-evernote/
  12. I currently have 45,000 notes, mainly in one notebook and only differentiated by titles and tags. The system works for me - possibly because I'm now used to it - though I had similar reservations when I started several years ago. This being a (mainly) user-supported forum, Evernote haven't commented more than once on this - they're under no obligation to offer an explanation or to follow any requests for a different structure. Like any other software company they have a product. It's entirely up to an individual (or maybe a mentor) whether or not to use it.
  13. 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.
  14. Yup. New web client is a limited-feature Beta version. Best revert to the original client via Settings for daily use.
  15. Hi. Have you tried clicking the tag to select it and then pressing Delete? What device are you using?
  16. Hmmn. Can you use any other browsers on your work computer - Vivaldi forinstance?
  17. 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&amp;noteKey=70b8824db700e211&amp;sn=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.evernote.com%2Fshard%2Fs76%2Fsh%2F16a69549-96ef-4159-8eff-1dcecfe35f95%2F70b8824db700e211&amp;title=Comprar - but that link works on my Android 6.0 phone! (Not sure if that helps anyone...)
  18. Hi. Nothing visible at Evernote yet - see comments above
  19. 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?
  20. 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?
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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
  24. 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.
  25. Hi. Is this problem only happening on a business network? Your firm's firewall may have blocked connections that Evernote needs to sync data.
