  1. Good thought, but that script will only generate a new note, it won't (unless I misread it) allow me to set my regular Wednesday evening meet-up as a reminder and repeat it for every second Wednesday in the month like Google Calendar will... Don't Google send reminder emails if requested? You could always have that reminder email sent to your Evernote account email with a suitable header...
  2. Agreed there's nothing that shows just the one note, but one option is to have a list of reminders which could include 'go to market' and only needs a tap to view the full text..
  3. Maybe it's an Android version thing. Anyhow those are all reminders, not notes, so it occurred to me that you could just have a Go To Market reminder and tap the link to get a note with the full shopping list. Also you can select all the notes in a particular notebook, and if that notebook only has one note, and that is set for offline searches, you'd always be sure to have your list handy... Anyway. Whatever works for you is good..
  4. My widget shows multiple lines and occupies as much screen space as I have - try going through your widgets to see whether there are other options than 4x2...
  5. My Android has a widget called "Evernote List" which is configurable to show reminders, notes, last edits etc. You might find something in there that would fit your use case..
  6. Obvious workarounds - use a reminder, change the created date to 1/1/2020, or put a'home page' bookmark into the menu bar. Not sure I'd use this feature if it existed - it would get confused with reminders...
  7. I don't think they 'created' or 'chose' a process. Evernote is a tool you can use - within limits - for anything. You found a limit. And EN doesn't integrate with Outlook because then they'd have to include GMail / Thunderbird / MS Mail / Livemail / Incredimail / OE etc etc in all their many versions on all the available OS's.
  8. You can't set Outlook as your default email client for Evernote or see Outlook Contacts (unless you copy them into a note and cut/ paste from there..). You could send all emails to yourself in Outlook, and have a rule there to send them on to different recipients, or maybe use IFTTT to spot keywords in the headings...
  9. Hi - welcome to the forums. +10 for that, though it doesn't appear to be Evernote's way to 'bloat' its software with extra functions. Check out the App Center as evidence of that approach and ConceptDraw Mindmap as a possible candidate.. There's also a card-based option (currently very beta) that looks interesting in carddesk
  10. Following on from Grumpy's comments - we're good with workaround suggestions here.. coming from a Wiki background I'm also a fan of collapsing paragraphs, and my alternative here has been inter-note links. Not as elegant as having the information available on the page, but it's pretty easy to highlight a paragraph, copy it to another note, and replace the original content with a link to that note. The drawback (apart from the mechanics) being that your links can either be local - which basically works on one computer only, or URL based, which means you've shared that note publicly.
  11. Maybe if you became premium and helped fund the R&D we'd get something quicker?
  12. If I had a penny for each time "it shouldn't be difficult to implement..." comes up in suggestions, I'd have........ a lot of pennies. If the changes were easy to introduce for 50M+ users across 15 or so clients + variations I'd guess they would be here already. Meantime, we have the workarounds... but as something of a wiki afficianado myself, yes it would be good to see [wiki names], transclusion, category handling and a few other features implemented in Evernoteland..
  13. Hi - you're familiar with the whole tags vs folders thing that's documented in detail in the forums?
  14. Hmmn - I guess they'll be introducing the email, word processing and page-layout photo editing tools pretty soon then.
  15. Don't think Evernote ever suggested it could act as a communications hub - and, as I may have mentioned once or twice, it's always possible to format a document rather nicely in PDF, DOC or DOCX and embed that in a note. Word files can be saved as templates, which are loaded without changing the saved document to allow further individual changes to be made and a new file saved. If I were setting up a similar system I'd have unchanging stuff like price lists as PDF or DOC and templates for anything that staff needed to personalise to a customer. They could then save the changed file back to a note as a record.
  16. Well, tags aren't always necessary - search by customer and sort by created date to get a list of all actions on all projects; search by customer and project reference / sort by created date to see actions on that project. I don't use tags that much - it's easier to rely on smart searching. Plus tags are more efficient and effective - one email covering two projects can be tagged (or searched) to be findable in connection with both. In a folder structure you'd need to remember to copy that email to all affected folders.. Oh - and I think a major redesign of the fundamental structure of 50M+ databases might be a factor too...
  17. The Forums do mild? - you learn something new every day....
  18. Sadly Evernote are impervious to bribery, not to mention ambush, attack, barrage, battery, belligerency, blackmail, condemnation, denunciation, flattery, incursion, invasion, maltreatment, mishandling, mistreatment, molestation, opposition, oppugnation, resistance, or violence. However they do improve things with time, so we can all hope... Besides waiting is much cheaper than any of the alternatives and involves rather less effort.
  19. If you store a DOC file in Evernote you can get it out again; if you export to PDF or HTML - which are common formats - there are conversion utilities on the web to create DOC files if you need them.
  20. ..and a spreadsheet, a music/ video player, a photo library, a backup service...
