  1. Welcome to the forums. Suggestions hereabouts do get read by the developers, so they'll take what you say on board. There may be some practical considerations though if access to your account is shared so easily with many people - your upload allowance might be exhausted more quickly, Evernote could run more slowly - and inevitably someone has to do all the coding to make this happen. Would someone be that much more likely to buy Evernote because they can share more easily?
  2. It may be possible that to add some features would be "extremely easy" - but if you have a detailed action plan for the next few days weeks or months which consists of other 'easy' features, this one is going to have to wait its turn. You never know - it might be part of the next planned release... but I wouldn't hold your breath.
  3. Nope - there's a zen concept called "the largest smallest dimension" which is gone into somewhere in the forums. You can adjust the size of one picture so it will be the snippet.
  4. In Windows (Vista & 7) there's a shortcut to get the full path of a file. Hold SHIFT and right-click, then choose "copy as a path" for the full C:\etc path to the file. Tie that in with AHK or a text expander and you could automate the whole process pretty smoothly... a hotkey could allow you to highlight a word in a note and replace it with file:// plus the content of clipboard.
  5. Strictly speaking there are no "folders" or Master Notebooks - there are just notebooks, which can contain notes, and for your convenience can be grouped in 'stacks' to make the notebooks easier to navigate around if you have several. It should be possible to collapse stacks to hide notebooks, but it's not possible (yet) to colour code them or change the font or style. It would be a good option to have in due course...
  6. Sounds like a lot of effort for no great return - especially on a lot of files. Surely you'd do better keeping your notes in one place only - so when transferring from OneNote to EN, delete the ON originals and rely on EN. For lots of duplicates, just sort List View into title order and scroll. If you want to get that list somewhere else, highlight the titles and copy/ paste into a spreadsheet or WP. There's no great urgency though - all you're doing is making your database slimmer and more efficient. I find more dups by searching now than any other method. When my search turns up a few hits, some of them obvious duplicates, I clean up then. You've already suffered the hit on your upload limit by adding the duplicate in the first place. Better to avoid doing that in the first place...
  7. Hi - welcome to the forums. What hardware do you have? Do you use the web version of Evernote or an installed client?
  8. I'm sure an improvement is on a list somewhere, but with Evernote there's a lot of scope for additional (or more elegant) features. Considering what this product looked like even 24 months ago, I'm sure they'll get around to improving this.
  9. Why is what so complicated? JMichael gave a four-line guide higher up this thread which includes embedding a hyperlink behind any text of your choice. If you explain what you're interested in doing maybe we can be more specific.
  10. Once again, I am reminded - read the question with the grey cells switched on. Burgers is (of course) absolutely right - birds nest, but stacks don't!
  11. Hi Duane, welcome to the forums. Stacks are already 'enabled' in that all you have to do is drag one notebook on top of another in the left panel. Create a new notebook to be the stack parent if necessary and either drag and drop other notebooks into it, or right-click the notebook name and use 'add to stack'.
  12. Sorry for the extra traffic - that was the only way I could think of to link Evernote and your video. Outside Evernote you could look to setting up a link in your home page which opens your video software, then browse to the file from there - and have a look at 'share' when you open the video player itself in case you can post a link to it into Evernote. I don't think it will be possible yet, but as Android develops it may be part of an upgrade at some stage...
  13. Welcome to the forums. I don't believe it's possible to create a link to a video which will play it from the home screen, much less put such a link into another app to run it from there. You could add the video to the note and play it from there.. (depending on the size, and whether you have a free or prem account)
  14. Don't have an XP machine to remind myself of the 'official' procedure, but I had a work-around when I needed a link for a different purpose - open a spreadsheet and set up a link from a cell to the file; then copy the full path, which shows up neatly in the dialogue box. I think in XP you could go to ~tools ~folder options in explorer and choose 'display full path in the address bar' on the ~view tab. You can then copy and paste the path - but you have to type or c&p the file name separately. Edit: Memo to self: search before enter.. Had a look in my search engine of choice and it says drag and drop the file into your Run dialogue window. You can cut and paste the full path from there. Doh.
  15. Hi Debbie - not sure what you mean by 'link to notebook'. If your main project note contains a list you could link to that note, or save a search which would lead to that note plus all the others containing a key term or (sorry) an appropriate tag. There's no way (AFAIK) to jump to a specific notebook however, other than to click/ tap on the name.
  16. On the basis that it would take (thumb in the air) 200,000 USD to create a completely new product, and each new user is 'worth' around 5 USD per month - but that's not profit that's just income - you'd be wanting a take-up of somewhere between 5,000 and 50,000 premium accounts. Please note I don't speak for Evernote in this; entirely my own opinion. I have no idea what percentage of income goes to R&D. Covering the cost may not be the problem - what if they have other productive plans for the next 24 months? Even covering the cost may not be the only issue - aren't there a lot of forks in the Linux pie?
  17. Why? See previous discussions here about tags vs folders...
  18. Thankyou (I think I tried that, but I'll give it another shot!)
  19. I've got an ongoing issue with upload stats aired in a previous thread and with a support ticket - briefly as with the examples above, my web and mobile upload stats show me (courtesy of a recent reset) as using 25MB of my limit, while my desktop shows 229MB. The support team suggested the classic - completely close Evernote, backup the database, uninstall the application and then re-install allowing the server database to sync to my new install. I'm (reasonably) sure that would work, but it's an hour or several that I don't have at the moment. I'll get around to it - but if this is happening, wouldn't it be convenient to have a menu option to reset the upload count / sync it with the server setting?
  20. Actually I'd like to amend my previous suggestion - notes with the same name are relatively common; usually a default of some sort. The same name does not indicate the same content. In fact my main problem is notes with different headings but the same content - when I grab (or upload) the same image twice (or more) times with my somewhat variable wetware supplying different titles each time. A search for exactly the same note size might find quite a bit of duplicated content.
  21. Would be convenient and helpful to have an Evernote "duplicate finder" that checks for note name and size, since I found that some of my notes are named identically because they're all about one event, but each has a different image / different contents. As JB found though, most of my duplicates were default headings - which it's useful, but hardly vital, to clean up. When duplicate notes matter is when you find your routine search turns up two notes that are titled differently but still have the same content. If/ when that happens I'll worry about it.
