  1. DTLow's post in 5 years of notes gone was marked as the answer   
    My guess is  that you logged in with a different  userid
    Your 5  years of notes are sitting there under the  old userid

  6. DTLow's post in Remember Sort Setting was marked as the answer   
    Another gotcha with the new web version.  If you downgrade, default sort settings are saved
  7. DTLow's post in Trash was marked as the answer   
    There's no automatic trash deletion
    Also, this would be a server function, not device (Android) specific

  8. DTLow's post in Code Block shortcut was marked as the answer   
  9. DTLow's post in How to auto log out of app for security? was marked as the answer   
    No such feature in the Evernote/Mac app
    The features are built into the Mac OS; password required "when the computer goes to sleep, or after X hours of inactivity"
    I also use the Near Lock app to lock/unlock my Mac based on proximity
    I don't like the idea of someone grabbing my laptop, or having access to any of my data
  10. DTLow's post in Link an EN note in things (on Mac) was marked as the answer   
    Hold down the option key when copying the link in Evernote
    It forces the Classic Note Link (In-App)
  11. DTLow's post in Does the trash empty after a few days? was marked as the answer   
    No, there's no automatic "empty the trash"
    It's up to you; I keep my trash empty, others never empty it

  14. DTLow's post in Is it possible to lock a note? was marked as the answer   
    No, Evernote doesn't support locking at the note level.
    Depending on your platform/device, you can lock your account and use Face Id
  15. DTLow's post in Linking to notes (in both MacOS and iOS) was marked as the answer   
    For the 'classic' link in IOS,
    Retrieve the internal link (https://www.evernote.com/shard/...) Paste the link into the note - it is converted to the classic in-app link Copy the classic link from the note by long pressing the link I moved the discussion to the IOS  forum.
     
  16. DTLow's post in apple pencil use was marked as the answer   
    Click the sketch icon to add handwriting to a note.
    I prefer to use the Notability app for note taking.  I store the documents in Evernote, in both pdf and  native format
     
     

  17. DTLow's post in I DELETED THE CONTENT OF MY NOTE BY MISTAKE (iOS) was marked as the answer   
    Restore the note from backups.
    I have personal backups, and Evernote has a Note History backup
    Access to the Note History backup data is a paid feature.  
    You can subscribe for a single month.

  18. DTLow's post in Tags vs Notebooks Comparison Summary was marked as the answer   
    Evernote supports two fields for organization of note data; Notebooks and Tags (both are fields in the note metadata)
    There is no support for Folders.  
    You seem to be comparing use of the Notebook field to the Tag field
    You didn't mention the important Notebook function of identifying notes as
    - private/shared
    - online/local (Windows/Mac)
    - offline (IOS/Android)
    Also note the maximum number of tags is 100,000
    The maximum for notebooks is 250; 1,000 for paid accounts.
    The search feature has various options for tags; limited support for notebooks.
    >>Incomplete task vs a complete task  ... Task for today vs task for tomorrow 
    I use an !Actionable tag to identify actionable notes.  
    And the Reminder feature for these other attributes.
  19. DTLow's post in How to change date and time for notes was marked as the answer   
    The Mac/Windows platforms allow for the update of the date fields.
    I use a Mac with scripting and my process is
    - not adjust Created Date
    - store Subject Date in three places
    Metadata: Subject Date Metadata: Title (prefix) Contents:  I append the note contents with a copy of the metadata
  20. DTLow's post in What is the "{ }" icon for in the note menu? was marked as the answer   
    {} inserts a code block into the note; a simplified text area for typing "code"
  21. DTLow's post in Is there a way to assign tags to images in a note? (General) was marked as the answer   
    Evernote has a tag feature that functions at the note level.
    You would have to use a single image per note.
    You can type a keyword into the note contents; for example    Photograph: Freplace
    A text search for "Photograph: Fireplace" will retrieve all notes with those images
  22. DTLow's post in MIND MAP for Evernote was marked as the answer   
    You're hijacking your own discussion. It's better to start a new discussion with the title GTD.
    I use a separate note for each task
    For task management, I have two workflows
    Processing tasks from my Inbox (default notebook) Processing tasks from project management I use a saved search to produce my current task list       reminderOrder:* -reminderTime:day+1 -reminderDoneTime:*
    As you can see, its entirely date based (reminder date).
    I store due dates in the reminder feature.  If there's no formal due date, I assign current date to identify tasks I'm working on currently
    Processing tasks from my Inbox (default notebook)
    As I'm processing the notes, I flag actionable notes with     tag:!Actionable
    I assign    tag:!Project - aaaaaa    if part of a project
    I assign a due date (reminder feature) if appropriate
    Processing tasks from project management
    Each project has a master project note, flagged with    tag:!Type-Project
    Each project has a separate tag (!Project - aaaa).  I do periodic reviews using the project tag.  
    I use a saved seach to produce my active project list      tag:!Type-Project -Tag:!Archive
    I add tasks as separate notes, assigning due dates (reminder feature) if appropriate.
    From GTD standards, I don't worry about prioritization of tasks.  Just identify the next action.
    I adjust due dates if required.  If there's no formal due date, I assign current date to identify tasks I'm working on currently
    I review my project notes in title sequence.
    To control the sequence, I prefix the note titles
           -Project Note
           ++Task (next action)
           +Task
           .Completed Task
          Miscellaneous notes (no prefix)
    Calendar
    When appropriate, I sync task entries to my calendar.  
    I use a script on my Mac; there are third party products like Cronofy Calendar Connector
    Daily Journal
    My daily journal (Evernote Note) has sections for Current Tasks and Projects.  I populate these using the copy-links feature.
  23. DTLow's post in Scripting on a Mac (Applescript) was marked as the answer   
    Two points about the storage and access of Applescripts.

    I show a menu of scripts in my top menu bar.
    I store the Evernote scripts in folder /Users/<user>/Library/Scripts/Applications/Evernote I turned on the menu in Script Editor > Preferences.
  24. DTLow's post in How to use Apple Pencil with Evernote was marked as the answer   
    I use an iPad Pro, and Apple Pencil.  I've been storing hand written notes in Evernote for a long time
    Evernote offers a feature for store handwriting in notes: more documentation here https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/213493077-How-to-add-hand-drawn-sketches-to-Evernote-on-iOS-devices
    Use your finger or stylus to add sketches directly in Evernote. Insert diagrams and handwritten notes right alongside your photos, audio recordings, and file attachments. Evernote recognizes handwritten text inside your notes so you can search for it later.
    I also use Myscript Stylus, an alternate keyboard.  It transcribes  my handwriting as I'm writing.
