I like working with my data in a spreadsheet I use an applescript (Mac) to transfer data from Evernote, but copy/paste works The spreadsheet maintains hyperlinks back to the Evernote notes I make sure the note title has complete information; for example 2019/11/02 Receipt ?Vndr-Walmart !Budget-EntertainmentGeneral [Calligraphy Pen] $-6.83 This is easily parsed in a spreadsheet >>They are in the eight or so expenses categories I have. [Repairs/renewals / Heat and light etc, etc]. These eight categories are my "Notebooks". I use tags to identify Budget, Vendor, ...

Scannable app cannot sign in to evernote account
DTLow replied to starhomeplan's topic in Scannable Issues
I don't know the "connect" solution, but a work around is using email-to-evernote You might want to talk with Evernote support at https://www.evernote.com/SupportLogin.action -
Can you add an explanation for "sort forms"

Until this gets implemented, I control the sequence by adjusting the note's title and date fields >>This would be great for writers like me! I understand the need, but Evernote's note editor doesn't seem the best tool for this

Acrobat/Pro - Replace with PDFelement/Pro /?
DTLow replied to Aspect's topic in Evernote Integrations
This isn't an Evermpte integration issue On a Mac, to change the default PDF editor see https://www.imore.com/how-set-mac-app-default-when-opening-file Sorry, I missed the OS reference in your post -
Full page screenshots is now an IOS feature; saved in .pdf format https://www.cultofmac.com/629540/safari-snaps-full-page-screenshots-in-ios-13/ >>And I'm not talking about the current screen clipping feature - it's horrible because it doesn't capture most pages accurately or at all My personal choice for viewing web pages is a web browser app; Safari (Mac/iPad) I do not consider Evernote to be great as a web browser app I save web pages in web archive format; as a note file attachment For Evernote viewing, I save screenshots in image/pdf format >>No, I don't mean that I use Evernote as a web browser.

½ of the import tool is that Evernote has a great export feature. In fact, it has become the de facto standard for transfering note data So, you may want to look at the export options in Notion If you can get the notes into an acceptable format (pdf?), they can be easily imported into Evernote

Not clear on why we need a second request My recommendation is to use the editor of your choice, and store the document as a note file attachment Files of any format can be stored in a note

I use the Notability app for pdf annotation; on an iPad with an Apple Pencil

Next step(s) in getting organized
DTLow replied to Ryq G's topic in Evernote for Mac Issues (Versions 7.14 and under)
I use my default notebook (@Inbox) as my Inbox, and instead of randomly assigning tags - an applescript to enforce "consistency in how/where I save information" First question: Subject Date Second question: Subject Third question: Note Type The Note Type drives further questions related to Tags, Reminders, ... For example, a Receipt requires Vendor and Budget tags After this processing the script assigns the title Subject-Date Note-Type Keywords [Subject] and tags, and ... For example, this note for a receipt -
When will Evernote release the New beta with the new editor for Mac?
DTLow replied to mrlsanganeria's topic in Mac
The primary markdown discussion is here Evernote has implemented an enml/html format base, instead of markdown Of course a note can contain files of any format. I use the Typora markdown editor on my Mac, and store the .md files in Evernote as note attachments >>Less is more! And yet, you seem to be requesting more One of my favourite design concepts; from Dieter Rams thru Jony Ive (Apple) Also a shout out for Mies van der Rohe, an architech who designed the first office buildings I worked in; black monolyths like a set of giant iPhones >>The only thing Evernote does better than the competition is tags. I'll add my vote for Tags Also, cross-platform clients, cloud/device sync, note links, search, import/export, scripting (Mac) ... -

Next step(s) in getting organized
DTLow replied to Ryq G's topic in Evernote for Mac Issues (Versions 7.14 and under)
My solution is to make use of Evernote's tag feature to identify notes based on various categories When that fails 😋, I use Evernote's text search feature to find missing notes >>I may do it in Evernote, or Mail, or Textedit, sometimes even a sticky note. I use various editors, but all my notes/documents are archived in Evernote. -

In GTD, Allen suggests these date/time tasks be noted in a calendar, however I'm comfortable using Evernote's Reminder feature to store the due date I only use the calendar if the task is event based >>For all others the key is the daily and weekly review of all task baskets. For my daily review, I use a consolidated basket that includes date/time tasks, active next-actions, ... This is generated using Evernote's search feature -
Order sub-tags alphabetically
DTLow replied to Tibo's question in Evernote for Mac Requests (Versions 7.14 and under)
We've clarified that your request is specific to the Shortcut section on a Mac, which displays hierarchy for notebooks/tags (a good feature) There's a bug; the sub-entries are displayed in random order The notebook/tag trees in the sidebar correctly display sub-entries in alphabetical order This request has not generated much support from the userbase; it has 1 vote (mine) No action from Evernote -
I'm interested in how you think that works Beyond your "test drive", there is the Premium theory that the paid account conversion rate increases with the length of time using Evernote. My opinion is free accounts should be booted after a set time

Yes, simple solution. Complete your "test drive" and either - Drop the app - Switch to a paid plan

Never say never, but nested notes are not a feature of Evernote's structure In the meantime, I make use of Evernote's note link feature to "nest" my notes This could be a Table-of-Contents note, or links inserted into notes. I've also used a table to emulate tabs

Preferences crashes Evernote
DTLow replied to joz1@me.com's topic in Evernote for Mac Issues (Versions 7.14 and under)
I don't spend a lot of time troubleshooting my devices When you did the reinstall did you delete the app, database and associated files. The app AppCleaner is recommended for this After reinstalling and logging in, Evernote will rebuild the database from data on the servers; except for Local Notebooks and unsync'd notes
