You are surprised that people who worked with Libin for years are moving on? I'm not. Brand new CEO, coming from a completely different background with completely different drivers from the board and investors will bring his own people in. That's the way the world works. Given how much disdain you seem to hold for the product and company and your seeming wish for it to disappear I have to say that I find it more than slightly strange that you bother with it's discussion forums. Each to their own though...

Discussion here -https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/89960-evernote-for-mac-62-released/

Actually sounds more like focus to me. They are reducing costs and it appears have increased revenue with the new pricing model. Doubt it's days are numbered, hopefully they will concentrate on the core app and service. Still doubt that they'll bother with a Linux client but that's an oft repeated and dull argument.

The latest version contains the new editor

I'm not sure anyone is actually objecting to the request. What people are doing is providing viable alternatives that work today. Given that there is no indication as to whether or not Evernote will ever provide this functionality then I think it makes sense for people to choose an application that gives them what they need right now. So, if you really need outlining then Evernote is not the app, or certainly not the only app you are going to need. Making all kinds of judgements about the intelligence and skill set of the Evernote group of employees based on the application that they have decided to bring to market makes more of a comment on the poster than on the organisation IMHO.

Nope.

LOL

You nailed it. Lots of great viable alternatives.

This is primarily a user forum, if you have a direct question and would like a direct answer then you should open a support ticket.

OK then.

I've been around here a long time and have a decent feel for how Evernote have made decisions in the past. They've also been really explicit on this subject. Whinging because they won't support your niche OS, claiming some sort of discrimination or some universal right just makes me laugh.

OK, I shouldn't be bothering with this... A leech drains from it's host. Evernote uses Linux in the data centre and I assume pays for Nix Admins, probably some support and some software. Seems like they are not leeching there. Unfortunately, real world experience shows that Linux really isn't a great desktop choice for the vast, vast majority of the world - if it was, more people would use it. Sounds to me like you are looking for an open source solution that is built and maintained by a community (like Linux). Evernote isn't like that, Evernote is a commercial organisation with bills to pay.

Of course it makes tons of sense to use Linux in the data centre - that's where the vast majority of linux machines are. But not writing a native app for linux doesn't make them a 'leech' - it just means in the data centre they are using what they think is the best platform. People have to get away from thinking this is an emotional decision, this is all about business.

Most analytics tools will report the OS and browser that the request is coming from. At a guess, the number of users using wine is just too small to be interesting. Linux is still a tiny niche on the user desktop, it's also regularly used by students and organisations that are not cash rich as well as techies who are likely to look for free/cheaper alternatives. As I said, if there was a good user case for building a native client for Linux then I'm sure they'd have done it. They've built for a lot of platforms in the past.

I would think they have a pretty good idea how many of their users are linux users and how many of those pay for the service. If there was value in it I'm sure they'd have done it already.

I think they've been pretty clear in the past that they are not going to build a native Linux client. So you have a number of options, Wine, the web or just find something else. Not quite sure why people find this so difficult

There's no way that I'm aware of going back and changing all attachments that you've added. You can change each one as you come across it by right clicking and selecting view as attachment

it's in the clipping section

Only genuine employees get an employee badge.

To make it useful, to make it searchable, to provide "context" or any new form of applied intelligence that they are working on. It's pretty clear that this is their vision, locking away the data stops all of this.

I don't need anything in Evernote encrypted, I'm sure there are lots of users just like me. I'm guessing the majority or else the product teams at Evernote would be under internal pressure to add encryption - they are clearly not. There are 2 sides to this argument.

You nailed it - the vast majority of most people's stuff doesn't need to be secure or encrypted. Evernote is far more useful for far more people without encryption. It's important to remember that a lot of the people that come to this forum come with edge cases, we are not necessarily representative of the user base as a whole. It's not to say that those edge cases aren't valid, but they are at the edge. The fragrant Burger n' Fries for example, quickly reached a critical mass from a scaling perspective and has mostly had to abandon Evernote. If there were thousands of users in the same situation then I'm sure Evernote would dedicate more resources to finding a solution. I'd guess the number of users with 50k+ notes is dwarfed by the number who have less than a thousand. Similarly, although encryption would be useful for a vociferous user group on here, I'm betting the vast majority of the user base couldn't care less. They don't need to secure their web clippings, recipes, wine bottle photos, shopping lists etc etc - but being able to find their stuff is absolutely key.

From a purely selfish point of view I think this is a great piece of information. For me the rationale of Evernote has always been a place where I can add information and then quickly find it again. Adding encryption greatly reduces this capability, creates support headaches and generally distracts the company from the route that I want it to follow. Half way house measures like not encrypting titles and/or meta data would also create support issues and confuse many users. I think it's clear from Rich's post that they are listening and that they are choosing not to pursue encryption at least for for the time being.
