Screenpresso solves the screen capture issue quite nicely and integrates fully with evernote. And it is free.

Please explain your tag and file system. I am interested to know how it could be MORE useful to take a clip and have it go to some other notebook than the one i am taking notes in. They should have added an additional option for your case, not removed the much more functional way it worked already. For those like me who this is killing our productivity, I found another screen capture app that works like the old functionality. It was called jing but is now called Techsmith capture. Perhaps evernote could integrate with that app so tge captures drop into s note without me having to open a note and paste. but at least i have my easy annotations back.

So here is the major change that makes the new capture go from a killer feature to worthless. In the old version, I could capture a part of the screen. In the new version I can still do that, although it feels a bit clunkier. In the old version, whatever notebook I was currently working in would receive the new note with the image and would automatically open the annotation window. In the new version the note gets created in a "default" notebook (I can find no way to change this behavior, or even to change the default notebook) and I have to go find it and drag it to the notebook I want it in, then open the note, then right click and choose annotate. I could probably do it quicker using native windows screen shots and cropping out what I want. As people realize that, the value of evernote drops. So lets discuss it in terms management will understand...money. Using the free version of evernote just for text notes, it would be very difficult for any user to reach the monthly max data usage. Hitting that mark is probably the main way evernote gets users to convert to paying customers. That is what worked for me. Pictures are much bigger than text notes. So anything that discourages or hinders users from storing as many images as possible in evernote is directly decreasing revenue. Making clipper less functional and then encouraging users to use other software to work around it is directly decreasing revenue. If enough users get fed up, a new app company will crop up that makes clipping easier and they will take that market share away from evernote pretty quickly. If they also offer a path to migrate existing notebook from evernote I will sign up tomorrow, as will many of your users. That market share will never come back.
