  1. I'd do the same thing with 'smart' titles - my format for both inbound and outbound documentation is: <date> - <type> - <client> - <keywords> where: <date> = the incoming or outbound date (not the scanned or saved date which might be different) <type> = letter / receipt / invoice / brochure / clipping / email / etc <client> = who? <keywords> = anything else which might help me find this item So an 'intitle' search for date will find all transactions last Tuesday, or everything for Client Mr Jones, or all incoming emails from him last week...
  2. Wow! 49 votes (as of now). This should be (one of?) the highest voted request - and it goes for all mobile devices too...
  3. Hi Have you tried 'paste and match style'? Or have you pasted the text into an otherwise blank note and (if it didn't show up) tried 'remove formatting' on that note? I'm not on Mac, so can't verify the problem, but when that text pastes into a text editor it's being shown without any embedded style codes. It may be the additional coding that's causing a visibility problem in Evernote.
  4. Hi. Try signing in via the web site Evernote.com and use the Forgotten Password process.
  5. Hi. Welcome to the wonderful world of computing, where bad things can happen, and usually choose the worst time and the worst location to do so. There is some history to the fact that note content encrypted in one OS doesn't always decrypt properly in others. The fix, as you've already discovered, is to re-encrypt it - maybe on a different OS - to resume normal operations. AFAIK - and others here are welcome to contradict me if they know different - there has never been a case of content being incapable of decryption on any platform. As long as you have the original OS from which you encrypted the note body, your actual content is 100% safe. If the only device available to you were Android, and a note had been encrypted in MacOS and was undecryptable in Android, you could try Evernote Web in any web browser, or use any computer with that OS. Almost certainly inconvenient, true. But not critical.
  6. Hi. When you say you 'always put your contact history in the editing field', was that in Evernote? What version?
  7. Hi. Are you pasting between two sections of a typed note, or one that was clipped from a web page or another document?
  8. Requested many, many *many* times before.. but not yet delivered...
  9. Hi. I wasn't aware that it was ever possible to edit the card content - AFAIK it's always been specially a formatted note. As already commented however - tags or titles will tie other notes to a card note so that extra information can be recorded, and merging notes means that more information can be added. I've not yet found it a problem to do so.
  10. AFAIK there is no current Mac Beta. There's usually an announcement like: -
  11. They may well have already done so - as I said in the other thread, while the Android OS might be developing past the 'anti-SD' stage, the problem may now be that the latest versions take considerable time to filter down to the majority of users. Evernote still aren't commenting...
  12. Apparently improvements are expected... https://blog.evernote.com/tech/2016/10/17/bringing-micro-services-to-the-client-side-project-ion-and-micro-components
  13. Or you could share notes or notebooks individually to user A, different ones to B and to C, and separately share one copy of the common notes or notebooks to all three. If you then include note links on any note to the whole set the individual users should be able to see them all.
  14. Some more recent posts in Feedback forums have a voting button. This is an old thread into 8 pages + at this stage, which AFAIK never had that voting option. It's an ongoing general discussion to which we already know the end answer - Evernote will add this feature if and when they're ready to do so. If you'd like to start a thread in the Feedback Forum to gather votes and promote this further, I'm sure you'll attract some support...
  15. Hi. What's your OS? IME the email address works as a link on Windows Desktop and Android, where the phone numbers are also active links from which to dial. See my answer above for adding extra information. My system is just to make another note with the same title - "<contact name> - Business Card" so I can find both the scanned card and any extra detail with the same search. Where I have several contacts for the same company I also have a table of contents note listing them all...
  16. Hi. Always important to click or tap the counter in the top left of this page if you agree. The higher the count, the more likely Evernote is to add this feature. As I write this, there's one click so far - I'll add another. Click the button guys....
  17. @logandb nailed it I think - Word will only allow you to compare two documents at a time (any more would be a bit of challenge to sanity anyway). The principle is how I get around comparing notes - I copy the content into separate files and compare/ edit, then copy / paste the corrected version back into the original 'live' note. Having separate files helps me keep track of which note version is the correct one.
  18. Hi. This may be a device issue, because the Samsung Note 4 I use times out annoyingly well no matter what app I'm using - including Evernote - and also applies my default screen brightness. I have PIN login (on the device) turned OFF unless I'm out and about, because I inevitably have to wake it up when I want to add or edit a note, and pin-ing in multiple times per day is annoying...
  19. Following on from @logandb's comment, there are many apps out there that will compare two files and highlight any differences. My (Windows) preference is Winmerge.
  20. I suggested in answer to another query that "Evernote's kind of like a supertanker where someone wants to repaint a tiny patch of hull just above the waterline that would only take a few minutes to touch up... except we're in the middle of an ocean in high seas and doing 17 knots easy... " Evernote has 200M+ users, and the one thing I'd imagine they take care of above all others, is not to aggravate any more of them than they already have. Changes to big software packages are extremely hazardous to user satisfaction. The existing code also has to be serviced and maintained, so there's a schedule for that. New features (including the years-long project to write a common editor) have to be developed and tested and introduced. Ongoing support requests have to be dealt with. Without doing anything more than continuing to exist, Evernote is busy. So finding out why some things don't work - especially if they only affect a sub-set of all users - can take a while. And while some users find some of the new features are just bloat, there's presumably a focus group or ten somewhere that thought they were great. And. To the best of my knowledge and belief Evernote employees have only once pledged a fix and then been late delivering - and that was after the lawyers stepped in a put a hold on things. In all other cases Evernote policy is to maintain a diplomatic silence despite howls from the floor about timescales and delivery dates.
  21. .. just the one click in the top-left box will be sufficient for the moment; the more clicks the more likely Evernote is to have a closer look at this...
  22. Nope, sorry - Evernote are, as usual, silent on whether or not this is being considered and if so, when it might see the light of day.
  23. Workflowy is my list creator and collapser of choice, and Table of Contents notes come a close second. For many reasons it's better to have shorter notes than very long ones within Evernote, and lots of shorter notes can form the basis for bigger paragraphs, chapters and sections of a much longer document. Moving the links around in a ToC note allows you to rearrange the content order without messing with the text itself. Just sayin'
  24. Matt also said - So keep clicking on the top left counter to get this reconsidered... -And for 'older' Android installations, see http://www.apkmirror.com/uploads/?q=evernote
  25. Hi. Stacks can only contain notebooks, not stacks. Notebooks can only contain notes. But you are able to tag notes, so why not just create "committee 1" and "committee 2" tags, and also "meeting 1/ 2 /3 etc" ?
