  1. Evernote isn't "denying" anything - they just haven't gotten around to doing this yet. If it was easy, it probably would have been done - but Evernote for Windows is 20MB of code in which you need to insert the right extra line or lines to make this happen. Then you need to do the same for Mac / Android and iOS... and not break the existing features in the process. Not saying they couldn't or shouldn't do it, just pointing out there's some work involved. And judging by this thread a whole '1' user is waiting breathlessly for this to happen... not much incentive for them to prioritize this feature above the thousands of other essential tweaks and bug fixes others have asked for. Additional votes (click at top left of the page) may help to move it up the list...
  2. I don't know whether there are any technical issues with creating a shortcut to notebooks, but the practical concerns would be along the same lines as adding eye color to George Washington on Mt Rushmore. A small amount of effort and very limited skills required for the actual job, but the preparation work and the access could be a monster, and the actual benefit (for Evernote) once it's done?....
  3. Hi. In Windows desktop, if you select one or more notes and right click, do you get a 'move notes to trash' option? What versions of Windows and Evernote are you currently using?
  4. Hi. Are you meaning a completely inline code block as opposed to the new line code block nserted by Ctrl/Shift/L? (I assume the Mac equivalent is Cmd/Shift/L) If so, can you explain why the inline version is important? It would be interesting to understand why and where the existing code block option isn't appropriate...
  5. Hi. There are thousands of requests for new and updated features, not to mention the odd bug issue. This will be on a to do list somewhere, but its priority will depend on other focus groups and the score at the top left of this page, which is currently '2'. If it's technically possible, I'm sure Evernote will do this - the only question is when...
  6. Thanks for the heads up - hadn't seen this before. Looks like a neat way to backup your databases file or folder (windows) or your Evernote files (Mac) - not sure what the implications for Evernote would be if you had the app open when backing up... I'd guess possible errors in any note you were working on at the time. Useful if you can manually trigger the backup as required, or just leave it in the background and let it run when you're not using the machine. I'll have a look into this in more detail over the next couple of days!
  7. Speaking as a Note 4 user - any chance of any movement on that? LastPass can use my fingerprint sensor.... (which I know means nothing, but hey..)
  8. Sorry but if a note has been deleted and also is no longer in Trash, then AFAIK the only hope of recovering it is either a device that has a copy of the database on it that has not synced for some time. Don't allow it to sync now, but do open Evernote (if you can) and check for your old notes. a variation on the above - checking old backups in icloud or on local systems for previous version of the database. There are no other options that I can see... (others may have better suggestions)
  9. If it doesn't suit your particular use case I can see how this sort of thing - https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/41557-remove-automatic-hyperlink/ would bug you. But why would you type a link without wishing to ever click on it and move elsewhere? This is just a convenience to avoid your having to copy and paste that link into a browser window to see the original page. (I'm not being disrespectful here, just genuinely wondering in what context this is unhelpful). Sadly being a subscriber doesn't entitle you to instruct Evernote what features to change for your personal preference. If there's enough support from other users I'm sure they'd be open to adding it as an option, but (unless they were already working on this - and they don't -usually- share progress reports) it simply won't happen anytime soon. You could raise a feature request in that section of the Forums to see what support you can raise. Meantime right click and 'remove' or (Windows) Ctrl+Shift+R is the only way to avoid the link. (If I were sufficiently motivated, I might look at options to use a text expander like Phrase Express to automatically remove the link with a key press, or to insert white characters around the address to 'hide' it from Evernote. Beware though that invisible extra characters would be a problem if copying and pasting the link in future). A leading "\\" forinstance seems to stop Evernote from recognising a link address. Just sayin'
  10. There was a thing in Windows where it was necessary to exit Outlook and restart it to get the clipper working...
  11. Hi. Thanks for a full and very helpful answer! I now understand the logic behind the process - all due respect that's actually quite a sophisticated feature - I'd suggest you highlight it more on your website or FAQs (unless you already do, in which case I missed it!) Re: Absolutely. My answer to the multiple folder problem yesterday was to zap everything and start over. If Backupery was my only backup solution I'd be most reluctant to clear all my history that way. Thanks again for your help - and I'll look forward to the scheduled backups being available...
  12. Windows users get an Outlook Clipper to copy emails (or selected text) into Evernote. Doesn't Outlook for Mac have the same option? Or were you looking for a different level of integration?
  13. Further to the last post... Started getting more urgent drive full messages from Google, so took a look at the folder. After 14 days of backups I was using over 80GB of storage (daily mixed full and incremental backups) in just over 100 folders, 14 files per folder. (Each notebook gets exported to its own ENEX file) Looked for a way to tell Backupery to keep a rolling 5 days' history (ie: replace backups over nn days old) - none available that I can see. Started deleting all backups from June - 6 files per folder. 100+ times. Glup. So: deleted all the history so far, reset the backup to incremental, and we'll see what happens with the next scheduled backup, which (the app tells me) is in an hour - at midday. Would prefer to change that to 11pm or so - but see previous post. God job I kept up my 'other' backup process meanwhile. So: needed please - timed backups history clear-outs (replace files over x days old) manual clearance - delete files over x days old One question: If I do an incremental backup, but have no recent full backup, what is this 'incremental' to? All recently changed notes? Today's date? Unsynced notes?
  14. Hmmn. Have been letting the backups rip for a while to see how things went. I started out with an incremental backup and then switched to full since I hadn't used the app before; I might have left it on 'full' and 'daily' for a few days now. My Google drive seems to be a bit full, since I backed up to my local hard drive plus the Google folder with some confused idea that I'd make the backup files 'online only'; which doesn't seem possible with this setup. It does max out memory, drive access and network access in the process of a backup. Haven't gone through my Google contents to see how much of my big main notebook got captured yet.. All that slows down my access a lot - any chance of a timed operation - "daily at 1700" sort of thing?
  15. Hmmn. If you can install from the Play store, have a look for any other audio recording apps - I use Hi-Q MP3 recorder on my Android. See if you can record and play with that. If so, the output MP3 files can be attached to Evernote notes as a work-around. Meanwhile you can look to unblock the Evernote recording issue. I'd suggest you reach out to Evernote Support via https://www.evernote.com/SupportLogin.action if you're a paying customer or tweet them at https://twitter.com/evernotehelps if not - I don't have a Chromebook, so I don't know what the issue is here...
  16. Sitting here with one notebook containing 20,000+ notes, I'll watch for an outcome with some interest!!
  17. I use a text expander to add a timestamp to titles, but for some arcane reason expanders (apparently) don't work in the note body.
  18. Guess it may have been difficult coming up with something that worked consistently across multiple devices and OS's. There are no options to copy styles, but you can always create a template note that has pre-formatted text styles...
  19. Hmmn. Screenshot is working fine now. Wonder what happened there? Anyway. What he said...
  20. Hi. The screenshot didn't work for me - I just get a black square. Can you try again please?
  21. Nothing useful to contribute here really, but in respect of - You could use an intitle:<keyword> search to limit your hits to those notes with that keyword in the title, and/ or in every case where you add keywords to the title, add a unique identifier "syzygy" or some such - a word that you wouldn't expect to find anywhere else - and do a search for that: it will automatically turn up all notes with new tags...
  22. Hmmn. No way to remove that icon that I'm aware of - it indicates an external attachment from Google Drive. You may want to start a votable new feature request in Mac Product Feedback to change it. - This thread started before the voting options were available so anyone who wants to support you could go to the new thread to register their continued interest. (You might want to publish the link to your new request back here...)
  23. Hi ...Ugly giant balloon ?? I couldn't work exactly out what you're seeing from the description, but it seems a lot different from the Google links that I see - can you give us a screenshot or two of what this looks like?
  24. Hi. Different software, different developers, definitely not ironic. Evernote are aware that we users like to have this sort of feature, and have made some progress towards it. I'm pretty sure they didn't just get so far and stop. More options should be available in future updates.
