That's not a fact, just your opinion. There might be many users who would enjoy this feature, we don't have a reliable way of knowing. The fact that many other Mac apps support this feature suggests that other developers thought that it would be useful. Since you're just guessing at the level of difficulty of developing, I'll also make a guess: It MIGHT be very easy since the Mac OS already supports this feature. All interesting speculation that really doesn't matter. I would say that, while I'd like to have this feature, it wouldn't be high on my list of feature requests. As we discussed in another thread, getting rock-solid sync and fixing the EN Mac performance issues are at the top of my list.

EN iOS (iPhone) does NOT support making changes to PDF attachments (or any attachments) and saving the changes in the same Note. Possible workarounds: On your iPhone, open the PDF from EN into another app that can handle PDF forms, and then save the PDF back to EN in a new Note. Use EN Win or EN Mac, and open the PDF in a PDF app (like Acrobat), and enter the form. When you Save in the PDF App, it will update the PDF attachment in Evernote.

Evernote does NOT support recurring reminders. This is just one of the many limitations of Evernote in trying to use it for CRM. If you've already got a system for Contact Management and/or CRM in Evernote that is working well for you, then I congratulate you! While this can be done, and has been done, Evernote was not designed for these use cases, and, as a result, lacks most of the basic features needed to carry out these activities. You can review what others have done and said on using Evernote for this by doing a Google on "evernote contact management", "evernote crm", and similar search terms. Evernote is a great tool for supporting these systems, for doing research, recording interviews, phone calls, etc. Just not the basic functions. If you've ever used a dedicated CRM system, you know how easy it is to enter customers, record a standard set of info about them, and have many automatically related records about contacts, events, sales, follow-ups, etc that is accessible by all members of the sales and management team. You will really have to work to manually create these links in Evernote. Most salesmen I have known don't have the patience (or interest) for this. Good luck in whatever approach you choose.

I totally agree with this. Sync must be rock-solid, and searches must provide the same results across all platforms.

I was just reviewing some of my Notes in Evernote, and I ran across this 2010 Evernote Blog that I found very interesting. ThinkWasabi interview with Evernote CEO, Phil LibinPosted by Andrew Sinkov on 27 Apr 2010 Here is an excerpt on a question about "subfolders", which really means Sub-Notebooks: [Answer by CEO Phil Libin]: Unfortunately this only led to "Stacks", and not the full hierarchical Notebooks that most wanted. Still, it's a great acknowledgement by Evernote of the high popularity of this feature.

@Adjusting: Is this the bug that has been fixed in Ver 6.0.6 B2? https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/64280-changing-a-notes-notebook-with-applescript-does-not-sync-properly/

A work-around is fine to deal as best as we can with today's limitations. But selective sync solves a lot of issues well beyond work vs home usage. GrumpyMonkey and I (and others) have both been advocating selective sync for quite some time. One of the key reasons/needs is that at some point, over a lifetime of usage, we all will run out of available local hard drive space. Selective sync allows us to manage our storage on a variety of devices, including some that have very limited local storage available.

@Adjusting: I can see that you are an accomplished AppleScript coder. Could you please help us get the AppleScript issues with EN Mac 6.0.5 fixed? Many of use routinely rely on AppleScript in our Evernote workflows. Thanks.

It's hard to say what Evernote will or will not do. Here are some features, that many said would never happen, but were added after many users kept on requesting them: Stacks (in response to the early requests for hierarchical notebooks) Note links Editing of images within Evernote For anyone who doesn't think it will ever happen and who don't see the need, feel free to just ignore this thread. For those who do see the need, feel free to keep on requesting it. But any post has the effect of bumping this thread to the top of the list, making it more visible.

Really? Who? Do try to be specific when making vague claims like this. Anyways, yawn. Nothing new to see here. Don't know what you mean by "yawn". Do try to be specific when making vague claims like this. If this is boring to you, then why bother posting a reply that adds no value? If you don't get the significance of many users continuing to request this feature after 7 years, then I don't think anyone can explain it to you.

Wow! After nearly 7 years, and 715 posts, this thread is still active with many, many users asking for hierarchical Notebooks (sub-Notebooks). There remain a few users who consistently argue against Evernote providing this feature. I will concede that after all this time, it seems unlikely that Evernote will ever provide hierarchical Notebooks. But that does not alter the fact that it is a very valid request made by many, many users. IMO, it boils down to each person's mindset. Some see a natural organization that is hierarchical, as in parent-child. We, the human race, have been organizing our information like this for centuries, if not thousands of years. Others, don't seem to grasp the value of hierarchical organization. And that's fine -- no one is trying to force you to use that approach. Both hierarchical Notebooks and Tags have their place, and are very useful. We should be allowed to choose the method we prefer. The below quote from 2008 seems to sum it up very well:

Until/IF Evernote adds this feature, you can use AudioNote on the Mac and iOS devices, which will sync via Dropbox. It provides the feature you are asking for. Of course, you can also attach a AudioNote file to an EN Note. I have used AudioNote for over a year now, and find it works quite well.

Just tried two levels of tag hierarchy on a Mac, and it looks great. I checked what IOS made of it, and it does understand that they're in a hierarchy, and makes a reasonable job. It displays all tags at the top level, not in an explicit hierarchy, as the Mac does, and it does display the notes as you would expect according to which level you click. I.e. click a top level tag and you see all notes owned in that hierarchy, click a second level tag, and you see just the notes for that tag. But I'm nervous about relying on it, given all the comments about Evernote's lack of enthusiasm. I'd like to see Evernote say that it's a fully supported feature. I am not seeing this behavior in EN Mac 6.0.3 and EN iOS 7.6.4. How does using CMD + drag of tags change the behavior of just dragging the tags? When I do a tag search in EN iOS, selecting the top level tags does NOT include Notes with only its child tags.

You might try a Google on "applescript select all notes" since the issue seems to be in how you are trying to select all Notes.

GM, limiting your EN Notes to plain text *may* provide the ultimate in portability, but, IMO, HTML is a very close second, if not just as good. Every note-taking Mac or Win app I know of, except for those dedicated to solely plain text, that accepts text input will accept HTML. And most, if not all, of those that are restricted to plain text will convert HTML to plain text. If not, there are plenty of utilities to convert HTML to plain text. IAC, not being able to use HTML with all the great formatting and linking it provides, would so severely limit my notes as to make them be of very, very, limited usefulness. While as of today their may not be a single app that can replace Evernote, I believe all of the top contenders do accept HTML.

Actually, I don't. I think you are way over-thinking this, imagining a problem that isn't there. BTW, here's another example how you could easily see and change the Sort Order. Just click on the field to sort on it, click again to change the sort direction (works just like it already does in the Top/Side List view)

Wow Frank! You're acting like it would be the end of the world!! I really don't see the the mental anguish that you do: "The effort required when shifting your frame of mind to the preset sort order of a new notebook selected would be about the same as manually resorting" It would be easy enough to display the sort order, and even make it easier to change, like with a simple dropdown list that shows the both the field and direction, like: ↑ Title

I agree this would be very useful. I would imagine the examples you cite to be quite common. I would also find it very useful to include a multi-level sort order in Saved Searches.

I don't see how the current database structure would require any changes to support full boolean search. IMO, it is entirely within the EN Search Engine since a limited boolean search is already possible. Both EN Win and EN Mac use SQL databases, which should have no problems with boolean searches.

As Scott said in his #2, the easy/quick solution is just to open the Note is interest in it's own window.

I have updated my original post for this thread to ADD information and references about switching from AppStore to DirectDL versions.

This is a VERY OLD thread, which I just discovered. A more current solution: See How to Completely Remove and Reinstall EN Mac

Updated my original post to include procedure to switch from Mac App store to Direct Download version. Even though EN Mac 6.0.3 Mac App Store has been released that is supposed to fix many of the Ver 6.0 issues, it appears that many issues remain. At this point I have lost confidence in all EN Mac App Store versions, and recommend that users switch to the Direct Download version. The latest is Evernote Mac v6.0.3. Many of us have long preferred the Direct Download version as its benefits seem to far outweigh the delays and issues associated with the Mac App Store versions. Jackolicious, on 07 Dec 2014 - 9:52 PM, said: Sandboxing (in the Mac App Store) is currently causing some very strange note-loading errors. As far as we can tell, these don't exist in the direct download version. The code-base between the two binary types is the same if the version numbers match (currently 6.0.3 is in both direct download and app store).

In EN Mac, and I believe EN Win, there is a Preference/Option setting for the DEFAULT view of attachments when they are added to a Note. The choices are: Inline As an Attachment (icon)This applies to new attachments, and does not change the view of existing attachments.

I quit holding my breath with Evernote a long time ago. I have also learned that it is very risky to predict what they might, or might not do next. But I am still hoping that Evernote will someday soon provide enhanced editing features. I'm NOT asking for a full-featured editor like MS Word, just more basics that we see in a lot of other HTML editors. Evernote CEO Phil Libin did say about a month or so ago that Evernote provides a "polished" writing experience. Who knows what he means by "polished", but I haven't found anyone yet that believes that. Now, I'm not sure whether that is good news or bad news. If he really believes it is polished, maybe he thinks what we have is good enough. Or maybe he was talking future tense, and wants to make it polished. Who knows???
