    Thats exactly the problem - a note can only have one notebook, even if it matches more than one notebook

    By using notebooks, you're creating a filing problem. That charity donation receipt can go into the Charities Notebook, Receipts Notebook, Charity A Notebook, etc My approach is put the receipt into a general notebook (I call mine "Filing" Tag it with "2016 Taxes", "Receipts", Charity A, etc At tax time, you can do a search on tag:2016 Taxes and find everything grouped together

    Kind of an extreme term, but it could also apply to the different platforms - the people on the web platform can also claim concious discrimination (there are features on the Windows platform not available on the web platform) etc >>developers to spend a week I think you are seriously under estimating the resources required to implement a new platform

    As @Frank.dg said, Evernote doesn't have a recurring task feature I'm not too thrilled with Evernote reminders and instead use dedicated apps (better notification features) If I were to use Evernote Reminders, I would either Reset the reminder date manually as part of my procedure Write a script to automatically reset the reminder I already run a daily script in the morning so it would be easy to add to it. I handle daily tasks by checkbox items permanently listed on my daily journal template. This is what I work from during the day.

    >> I need a unique note attribute that designates that it should always be on top I have notes I want quick access to, but I don't really want to see all the time at the top of my list. For these, I use a special tag (!Hot Notes) and include the tag in my shortcuts area. Per the original post of having one note (index) they always want at the top of the notes, I would look at my default search and modify the dates/title accordingly. I would not find this practical with dozens of notes. I find the Reminder section more useful for this. Sample below is one of my filtered lists - the note Table of Contents is always at the top

    I was thinking of Pocket as short term read-it-later, and Evernote as long term filing. This view was presented in this article combine-pocket-with-evernote-for-a-clutter-free-paperl There's definitely overlap in features.

    I always thought of mind-mapping as a different discussion than Evernote's information management. Foe example, I have a receipt which I may need in the future. I can stick physically put it in a filing cabinet; I can scan it and attach it to an Evernote note. How would you use mind-mapping to store a receipt? Yes, OneNote is prettier than Evernote. Can you describe how the receipt would be stored/retrieved in OneNote?

    Thanks - You're right, along with created and updated dates (sample below). Thats fantastic; it solves my problem with lost info in html exports. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/><meta name="exporter-version" content="Evernote Mac 6.6 Beta 3 (453258)"/> <meta name="keywords" content="!Archive, !Journal"/> <meta name="created" content="2016-03-28 13:04:26 +0000"/> <meta name="updated" content="2016-03-28 13:04:27 +0000"/> <title>Journal-March 28, 2016 at 06:04AM</title> </head><body><div>March 28, 2016 at 06:04AM<br/> Today is: Sunny<br/> High: 53F (12C)<br/> Low: 42F (6C)<br/> Wind: 6 mph (10 kph) West<br/> Sunrise: March 28, 2016 at 06:57AM<br/> Sunset: March 28, 2016 at 07:38PM<br/> <br/> </div></body></html>

    Actually you're talking to other users, although Evernote employees do drop in occasionally. Regarding priorities, I encourage everone supporting this request to up-vote it (voting buttons are at the top left corner of the discussion). There's no guarantee, but it does provide an indication of the priorities from a user perspective. Currently the vote is......0

    Did you try the solution proposed above notebook-to-pdf For a large export - my solution would be to write a script for this and schedule it to run overnight. Here is a sample of code for Applescript from http://sealedabstract.com/lifehacking/exporting-an-entire-evernote-notebook-mac/ tell application "System Events" 18 keystroke "p" using command down 19 repeat until window "Print" of process "Evernote" exists 20 end repeat 21 tell process "Evernote" to click menu button "PDF" of window "Print" 22 tell process "Evernote" to click menu item "Save as PDF…" of menu "PDF" of menu button "PDF" of window "Print" 23 repeat until window "Save" of process "Evernote" exists 24 end repeat 25 keystroke i as text 26 keystroke (ASCII character 3) 27 repeat while window "Save" of process "Evernote" exists 28 end repeat 29 tell application "Evernote" to activate 30 keystroke (ASCII character 31) 31 end tell

    Are you sure you want to use the pdf format? It would be ok for a simple note, or even a note with images. You'd be loosing any other attachments. You'd possibly lose pdf attachments. I would think the html format would be more inclusive. Evernote does have an export as html format.

    I just wanted to bump this post and encourage up-voting; voting buttons are in the top left corner of the discussion Tables allow me apply a level of formatting to my notes Table-in-Table would extend this and be awesome. I'm aiming for the examples given in table-within-a-table and table-within-a-table
  13. DTLow
    As well as separate import folders, you can modify your import script so it gives you options as to notebook, tags, title.... This can be hard coded, or interactive. There are many options open to you when you're using AppleScript. Example code: create note from file newFile title "xxx" notebook "xxx" assign tag "xxx" to new_note

    I'd also add the following criteria - Exit Option: I don't want my data to be locked in to a proprietary service/format >>But couldn't get past #6 and 7. I had a huge steaming pile of data that I didn't even know about and I felt lost, even with all the tagging. In my opinion, Evernote's tagging and saved searches is the answer to organizing data By Planning Tools, are you referring to Task Management? Its true, dedicated task management apps have more features but I like having all my data in one place I add Planning Tools by adopting processes: such as Project and When tags and saved searches such as Process-Inbox, Process-Actionables >>This is kind of an obvious and easiest solution that for some reason most people seem to not get. Google Drive or OneDrive. I see these as file management apps, not information management. (There is some cross-over)

    Evernote detects a conflict and provides you the two versions to review. You have to resolve the conflicts yourself. In another discussion, this website https://www.diffchecker.com was identified as a method to resolved conflicts. You copy/paste each version and it identifies the differences.

    If you sign out, when signing back in, my understanding is that the Evernote will connect to the cloud severs to verify the password. In fact, thats a downside to signing out - you need internet access to sign back in >>When I reopen the app, it requires the 4 digit passcode I set up for it. Got it - you're asking for the pin code feature on the Mac
  17. DTLow
    I'm not sure how you're doing this on IOS. If you sign out of the app, you have to enter a password to sign in. Most people (including myself) don't bother to sign out, and never have to sign in after the initial sign in. >>And give us the opportunity to set a timeout when the password will be required again. Although its not available in Evernote, there is a password timeout setting you can specify on the Mac

    Still Windows only. On my Mac, I would be using an AppleScript to automate backups, however I do see a need for users who don't back up their local notebooks on a scheduled base. I'm not seeing any notebook selection for backup, or separation of notebook backups. I consider this a deficiency - I may not want to back up my sync'd notebooks, and I wouldn't want all my notebooks consolidated.

    I'm more focused on Evernote as a digital file cabinet, but I do support the editor project. That covers both editor improvements, and better consistency between the platforms. I up-voted the discussion. The vote is now .....1 (voting buttons are at the top left corner of the discussion)
  20. DTLow
    It wasn't clear - You are posting in a discussion which started I agree password protected notebooks is separate from encryption and is a feature which Evernote should consider. But again, its a question of priorities - which feature should be addressed first, and which platform? Password protected notebooks is posted as a feature request at https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/94861-password-protection-for-individual-notebooks/?do=findComment&comment=400794 also here in the Mac forum https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/66306-request-password-protected-notebooks/?do=findComment&comment=299249 Please upvote the request (voting buttons in the top left corner).

    Can someone point to me where Evernote has expressed opposition to encryption? There are a huge list of other features that are missing in the apps. It's not that Evernote has expressed opposition to those either. There are limited resources and some features are going to be implemented before others. There are priorities. Meanwhile, I have used work-arounds so that I can encrypt notes.
  22. DTLow
    Are you able to look at your notes on the web and confirm the images are really missing?
  23. DTLow
    My preference is that archiving be specified at the note level. I don't want to have to "move" my notes or notebooks anywhere. No word from Evernote on an archiving feature - I use an !Archive tag so that I can exclude notes from searches.
  24. DTLow
    I've heard no mention of plans to allow creation date update in EN web. I'd recommend looking to other strategy for your Archiving and Task Management workflow.
  25. DTLow
    How would you see this working with search - would candidates only be listed if you've "unlocked" the notebook?
