  1. I don't pay for the basic app; my understanding it is free to all users. I have the time and resources to participate beta testing and improving the product and am happy to do so. We all benefit from the beta testing. Regardless; when you can see an issue is fixed in the beta version, you can know it is being worked on, and it will appear in the next release.
  2. Please explain why Evernote is the only tool you can use to annotate pdfs. I wouldn't let this be a setback in school work. I'm using the built in Mac Preview app until this gets fixed
  3. Here are the sort options on the Mac No "Sort by Revlevence" I undestand sort by date/title etc; I don't understand revelevence, especially when I'm searching by tagname The only other options I know of are the Shortcut and Reminder sections where you can manually adjust the note position in the list >>On my macbook it would show me notes that repeated that search term lots of times When I do a search, I get a list of notes satisfying the search They are in the specified order, date/title etc edited: As per @Jefito, it was an option (even default) a while back, but it was dropped. I never used it. I found the order somewhat random
  4. I log into my Evernote account on my Mac Double-click on Notebooks to go to the Notebook page Drag the Notebook into the Stack
  5. If you contact support, at Contact Evernote Support they will give you a list of the notes impacted; I had 2
  6. Did you see the note about the fix being delayed until Beta 3 >>Besides annotations not working, a percentage of my notes has begun losing their attachments. This is devastating. There is a known bug with attachments. Evernote detected it, and notified impacted users. The software was patched in version 6.9.2, and I was assuming was fixed in Beta 2 Personally, I rely on my backups and the Note History feature to recover from lost data >>I have been forced to invest in Acrobat Reader Pro to be able to finish my tax filing. A fine product, but I would have thought Mac Preview to be an adequate alternative for annotations.
  7. An easy workaround is to use Preview for pdf annotations. As to reimbursement, we are talking about free software provided by Evernote.
  8. I was under the impression different sorts had already been implemented in the Windows platform I'm patiently waiting for this to make it to the other platforms In the meantime, I implemented my own solution on my Mac using Applescript (documented here)
  9. Just brainstorming: export your notes in xml format; use a script or text editor to update the fonts; import the notes
  10. I don't know why, but I have to drag to the desktop, then drag into Evernote or just drag to my import folder fwiw I use an Applescript to copy my mail into Evernote (documented here) I wanted more control on what gets attached, title, contents, tags, notebook etc
  11. Which platform. On my Mac, I can set a default font in Evernote Preferences
  12. My backup process is documented here; I use a Mac and applescript for automation >>Format I have a daily incremental backup of changed notes, in both enex and html format The enex format makes a reload easy; the html format makes the backup viewable This is my version of Note History I also have a weekly full backup in enex format >>Notebooks For the weekly backup, each notebook is backed up separately I mostly use a single notebook; 8000+ notes. The backup takes about 20 minutes >>Timing Daily - Incremental; Weekly - Full I only keep a single copy of the full backup; its overwritten each week
  13. It's not an account level issue. On the Widows/Mac platforms, you have a full copy of your notes. This makes it easy to backup your notes. Some people backup the actual database, but I prefer to use the Export feature.
  14. As per @squaregoldfish, you can click on INFO and see the url
  15. I agree there's a lot of whitespace wasted to the right in notes I don't think you'll see floating text boxes, as per the Word example. Word uses a proprietary format, while Evernote uses a generic html format. As such, it would be difficult for Evernote to add features that don't conform to the html standard edited: As per @jefito, I'm not up to date on html standards; boxes could be included fwiw My solution is to use a two column table. This allows me to add content in the left column, with additional content in the right column. The table has additional features; for example background colour. To be honest, Evernote is not the product I'd use to do complicated word processing.
  16. For serious note taking, I use Notability just like I use dedicated apps for word processing and spreadsheets. I store the work-in-progress in its native format; often as an attachment in Evernote. When finished, I convert to pdf format and store in Evernote. This makes the document available for search
  17. Maybe a little. But it's also a serious comment on Evernote. They are not known for being great on the PR side for user complaints, suggestions or discussing future planning. I've come to accept the silence and just carry on.
  18. Would it make you happier if Evernote responded - "they've taken note of your request and will give it consideration in future updates" Personally, I accept that there are limited resources and work is focused on the highest priority items I also appreciate that Evernote provides this forum to list requests and users can vote
  19. As a workaround, I make use of the Shortcuts area I also use a script on my Mac, documented here
  20. That bug has been reported in the beta testing - what version are you using?
  21. I'm not letting the PDF annotation issues slow me down. There are various dedicated apps to use; you can even use the built in Mac Preview app
  22. I think all platforms/accounts have Notebook Stacks However this discussion has evolved into requests for unlimited levels, similar to the tag hierarchy. Alternatively, there are requests for Evernote to add folders and a folder hierarchy.
