Try forwarding the emails to your account address?

Wiki fan here too.  Lots of Wiki features would go well in Evernote including your suggestion and transclusion and [wiki scripting]...

+1 here - if there's an option for 'last Tuesday' or 'first Monday' that would be great! 

Nobody has mentioned the checklist feature that I use for my to-do list. EN won't let you even copy this list into Word for sorting. It won't put it into the clipboard at all.

 

You can search for checked and unchecked boxes in your notes, but you can't sort a list by completed/not completed? That's an oversight in my opinion.

 

I know that EN is not a to-do list tool but I agree with the sorting-is-a-basic-feature crowd. It should be an easy addition that won't add complexity to those who don't use it. Why not include it then?

Evernote started out with a (very) basic editor and have worked their way up to a basic editor with a few bells and whistles.  I'm sure more improvements are on the way,  but as has already been said - there are thousands of suggestions here for "basic features" that Evernote has to schedule over all the platforms it supports and without displeasing its increasingly large user-base by taking the wrong step.  They'll get around to it.

I was just thinking about this today and google searched to see if this was a feature I was missing out on. I have my personal notes and some notebooks for work meetings. I sometimes email them to the meeting attendess as well. 

 

My problem is that my personal email is associated with the account and after I email the notes, if one of the recipients selects "reply all", now my personal account has these notes - slightly against company policy (separation of work and personal). I can change my email to my work account and back depending on what I'm emailing. 

 

My preference would be 

a) store multiple email addresses, designate one as default

the default email address serves as the log in as well as the default across other features

c) where it makes sense (ie emailing notes) allow user to select another email associated to the account when sending those particular notes

Or you could go to the My Account page online and change the address?

Hi - welcome to the forums.  I raised this ages ago - I've been a long-time advocate of mind -mapping and use it for anything new or complicated.  Evernote's database and search functions are two aspects of a potentially killer MM app - all you need is the GUI.  However while the Powers that Be have discussed the topic we don't know if there's any planned development.  And Evernote typically don't share or discuss future plans.  Thanks for raising it again though.

You can of course attach your mindmap files to notes in their native format,  and as OCR-able pictures to help with the management of a large library of files. But beware that maps which have sub-maps don't like being stored anywhere but on your hard drive.  You'd lose the link.  Single files just open in the app when clicked and save back to the note when closed,  like any other files created with proprietary software.

Hi - welcome to the forums.  Stacks hold notebooks, and you could have a 'home' stack of several notebooks and a 'work' stack of different notebooks.  The only problem is you can't share a stack,  you have to choose the individual notebook(s).  If that doesn't cover what you need,  trust me: Evernote aren't going to tell you when (or if ever) they'll get around to it.

This functionality is quiet common in other products

And the actual "other products" would be?

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?

As a developer, I can attest that this would be an extremely easy feature to add. It could be done in three steps:

1. Add to the images context menu the option to "Set as thumbnail".
2. For the selected image, add an attribute like thumbnail="true" in the Evernote markup.
3. When displaying a thumbnail, first scan for an image with this attribute. If one is not found, use the current algorithm.

I think the only real hurdle will be testing in all platforms.

 

Many of us have notes clipped from the web with the first or last image usually being the best one for the note. Much of what I clip are tutorials or instructables with photos for each step and most of the time the auto thumbnail is incorrect.

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.

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.

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.

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...

Patience is a Virtue.  If only I had some. 

I ended up with a lot of duplicates by importing OneNote content into Evernote. If you import at one point in time and then later have a lot more OneNote notes to import there is no good way to only import new notes. So you end up re-importing some of the same notes again. A lot of the same notes again!!

 

I think I'm going to try copy/paste the note titles into Word documents and then compare them using a program called Beyond Compare. All it does is compare separate files and highlight all identical passages. I'll post back if it works.

 

Thank you.

 

Jim

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...

Just for the avoidance of doubt - which taskbar?

Hi - welcome to the forums.  What hardware do you have? Do you use the web version of Evernote or an installed client?

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.

Why is this so complicated?  Why can they simply add a "Browse" option to the hyperlink dialog?   Worst than that, you can't even rename the bloody link to something more readable.

 

This is a pretty simple feature that is used a lot, it should NOT be this complicated.

 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.

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!

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'.

  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...

...insert a link into a note to route it to a video taken on the phone

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)

Welcome.

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.
