There's no way (yet) to jump around inside a note, but there are good reasons for making lots of smaller notes rather than one large one, including this situation. If you made lots of separate notes with meaningful titles you could select all notes and create a TOC note which would effectively allow you to jump from one 'paragraph' to the next within your collection of notes. You could also save searches to the same effect.

It's possible to list notes together if they have a common title or tag, contain the same search term, or belong to the same temporary notebook. It's not possible to select more than one individual note for printing, deletion or any other purpose. Maybe if you can give us more information about what you wish to do with these notes, we can offer more suggestions...

There's a lot of options in this thread already, though only one company so far seems to have the infrastructure and product range to offer a halfway compatible service. A lot of people are looking around but at the end of the day it seems to boil down to your comfort zone with smaller companies, who may not be secure, or around for so long, or have so many access or processing options. Check out the latest MS OneNote for the big ticket approach, but don't expect it to be anything like Evernote's notebook / notes / tag layout.

I experimented with ways to avoid 'accidental' erasures for a while. The easiest and most effective was to give 'view only' rights so notes couldn't be changed. There's also a backup copy of the entire database and/ or shared notes or notebooks. Another option was to keep a special notebook for each person or group in the share, and to copy files into that as necessary. I always had an original. Or you could keep the content of the file in a passworded PDF file in the same note as a ride-along backup. Or use a premium subscribers 'step back' into the note history to recover from changes. Some of those don't prevent notes from being deleted completely however - and if they're not in Trash and you don't have a backup, you do have a problem

Took me a while to connect the dots, but there's another thread about annotations where we found that rotating an image somehow 'locked' the content so that once rotated, further changes don't save, and that Korean edits had the same problem, where English did not. Seems like Slovak might also be affected, unless you rotated your images before... ?

It's not possible to share securely outside of Work Chat, though it is possible to create a public link to the notebook and send that link by any email or messaging system. In the same way if using work chat, a separate messaging system could be used to confirm that the share invite has been seen and accepted. Confirmation is always advisable given the existence of spam folders.

Hi - Evernote can't auto-tag, but if you search untagged notes for "adam smith" bill 2001, you'll get all his specific bills for the year. Throw in "01.01" and you'll (probably - haven't tested it) get that specific bill. Tags wouldn't be necessary.

So: I have a scanned receipt for my car insurance. Do I file it under Personal > Car > Insurance? Or under Insurance > Car > Personal? Or Expenses > Car? Or should I just file the thing and add Personal / Car / Insurance / Expenses as tags and find it any way I search? If I missed my nested folder structure, I could nest tags in similar ways, but that's just a convenience. Or you could have tags nested under A, B, C so your tags window is 26 lines long, and you can look up names quickly. Nested folders aren't efficient or logical. Tags are far simpler and more flexible. Just my opinion.

Hi. There was a discussion a few months ago about setting reminder times by email > https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/54751-set-time-of-reminder-when-creating-note-by-email/ - but so far there's no way (AFAIK) to set a default time.

I'm not sure there is a way to delete old entries yet - Evernote staffers do read these posts, so the suggestion will be added for future updates...

I sit corrected - but I'm glad you got something sorted out anyway. See you next year...

...and just to add to the discussion, if I doubleclick on an image in EN Windows, it opens in the OS app that manages images, not in Presentation mode...

Hi. The exchange rate is applied by Paypal, not Evernote. Maybe a different method of payment will have a more reasonable option?

Don't know how I did that. Killed one of them anyway; it really wasn't so good it was worth saying twice...

Every contribution matters...

Well let's see. Evernote not listening to subscribers? - that's a subjective view; Evernote don't comment about what they have in the pipeline, or when new features will be released. They also conduct their own focus research on the next best direction for their product, and are influenced by Apple and Google's design guidelines for their own respective products. Having said all of which, when were Ford last accused of listening to their customers in new car designs? It's a big company. They do their own thing. "Breaches of privacy numerous times in the past?" Are you reading a different forum? There was an unsuccessful hack attempt. Once. Users would like various levels of encryption, but Evernote haven't decided to implement this (as far as we know) - see para 1 above. A lot of the 'power users' looking for alternative apps seem to be saying that there's not much out there to offer a viable option. They're mumbling a lot but sticking with Evernote and hoping things get 'better' (whatever that is...) If you do find a better option I think a lot of people would be glad to know it - please post back when you make your choice!

Hi Katerina. Thanks for the tip, but that's the standard URL field, which will accept local file links. Click the 'i' icon on your note to see the editing options for all the header items.

Hmmn. My current browsers are Firefox and Opera (I fell out with Chrome using too much memory) and annoyingly neither of the current pair allow me to export bookmarks. Don't know why Clipper would be unable to clip that page, unless you're clicking the 'Article' option, which won't work. Try highlighting some or all of the text and clip 'Selection'. Second option would be to email the page / content from your browser to your Evernote email address...

I would suggest opening the HTML file in a browser, then using the clipper to get it into Evernote..

I don't believe that PayPal is an option, but submit a CS support request to check by choosing "payment issue" in the first dropdown after logging into logging in to this link > https://www.evernote.com/SupportLogin.action It's not usual for the Forum to ask for a new user name, and the Forum uses your Evernote ID as a reference, so logging in as above will check if there's a problem with that too...

There were a couple of alternatives there that I hadn't heard of before. Thanks!

Less than 2 years after it launched and with way fewer users, it's possible most of those requests were coming from new users who were still wedded to the traditional folder system. Since then it's either proven much harder than was originally thought to crowbar the existing code into allowing multiple levels of folder, or a growingly sophisticated user-base lost interest in the topic and got distracted into other areas. Either way, the basic facts remain: despite being discussed in circles here for 37 pages, multi-level folders didn't happen (yet). Meantime I'd far rather see rock-solid syncs / no freezes / faster and better searches (amongst many other things) at the top of the agenda.

I think the major significance is that with 100M+ users 1) Lots of new users think "what happened to folders?" and post here without checking the history, and 2) "Significance" would be more than .01% of users leaping up and down and requesting folders - and that'd be 1,000 posts here, not just the dozen or so who've griped about it and gone away...

Fixing this issue basically means rewriting the editor - a little bit like coming up with a new version of Word starting from scratch - which they did for Mac recently in the new version 6.x It takes time to do development on that scale, and they're definitely rippling it through all the other OS's that EN support - but it will take time.

On some devices it's the OS level spell check you need to disable - which obviously affects all applications, not just Evernote.
