  1. This is a user forum. Want to ask Evernote a direct question? Open a support ticket or send them a tweet.
  2. Not currently - you might be able to do something with PDFs that you could store in Evernote.
  3. Preferences - Clipping - Set the By Default setting to "As Attachments"
  4. I wasn't assigning any value to the request, just pointing out that Evernote has a myriad of issues as a text editor. The CEO of Evernote is a very capable marketeer and his statements make for great click bait, I've found that they rarely carry much genuine weight.
  5. Evernote is a terrible place for writing. You only have to use it for 5 minutes to know that. My advice is to avoid the marketing nonsense and use the best app for the task you are trying to complete.
  6. I love that a feature you haven't missed for 5 years is really that key to you?
  7. I'm not specifically knocking WP either and there are lots of support forums for WP (many dealing with lots of security issues....) - the people who have found fault with Evernote support are generally complaining about email or chat not with the information they receive on the forum. Anyway, good luck with your project.
  8. Just a couple of things. Wordpress is hugely insecure so good luck with that. Why will support be any better than Evernote?
  9. For some reason, I couldn't get the link to open. This is the first time someone has suggested linkedin as an alternative to evernote, though. I've never thought of it as more than a social network, and a so-so one at that. It's difficult to imagine as a notetaking app, but if it works for you, that's great! He/She has created a thread on linkedin to discuss this - he/she isn't using linkedin instead of Evernote. Not sure what is so great about linkedin that you'd rather have the discussion here than there.
  10. This is primarily a user forum. If you want a direct answer to a direct question then you are probably best off opening a support ticket.
  11. It's been a premium feature for as long as I remember. It makes perfect sense to me that a feature that lots of people like is a premium feature that encourages people to pay for the service. I think you are misunderstanding the article. Offline access is selected by at the notebook level for mobile devices. The windows and Mac clients store all notes offline.
  12. It's a Plus level piece of functionality. If you don't want to pay for it then good luck with whichever other app you choose.
  13. If it's important to you then it makes perfect sense. I find a lot of the current discussion (not just here but in a lot of the semi technical media) about workflow quite interesting. I think people become obsessed with this idea of a perfect workflow that is going to make them better at what they do. I think you get better at what you do by doing it and by learning from other people that do it too. I want to use tools that help me, I know that none of them are going to be perfect but I use them to help me where they can. In this example, I wonder how many times it is necessary to rename a notebook? Unless it's a very regular occurrence I would guess that just this discussion probably ends up taking way more time than you would spend actually renaming the notebooks using the current Evernote method. Again, I'm not saying that Evernote is perfect, I'd quite like the side bar to be more editable and configurable, but I'm certainly not going to let a tiny disruption to the way I work distract me from the work I really need to do. Hope that makes sense... Show me where I said it was your only problem. I wasn't in any way criticising or assuming a value judgement to your request/point. Instead I tried to highlight what I see as being an increasing obsession with the minutiae of workflow and the impact this has on actually doing stuff. Again I think you are misunderstanding me. Just because Evernote think I should use Evernote for messaging or presenting doesn't mean that I should. In my opinion, their presentation tool is very lightweight and not particularly useful and work chat is completely useless for me. This reinforces exactly what I was saying. I use Keynote or Powerpoint for presentations, they are built for creating presentations and very powerful - tools designed for the task. For IM I use Messages, perfect for Apple messages, text messages, google/jabber for work. Using the right tool for the task is the quickest way for me to get my work done. That's the best workflow advice I can offer.

  15. I think that plays into it too. I use Evernote for the things it's good at - pretty plain, simple notes that I want to have available wherever I am and whatever device I'm using. It's really really good at doing this task and I have plenty of this kind of note. The clipper is great too. I use Evernote where it in it's current incarnation it works better for me than any other app. If another app does it better, then why try and squeeze a round peg into a square hole. I wouldn't ever dream of using Evernote to write a book, store photos or any of the other myriad of really specialised tasks that I see people try and do with it. There are so many better, specialised apps out there that are designed to do those tasks so trying to shoe horn them into Evernote is absolutely going to cause pain and frustration. Despite the marketing spiel, Evernote isn't ready to be your external brain. It isn't the right place to store everything and do everything. It is however really bloody good at doing some things and I certainly would miss it if it wasn't there anymore.

  17. Evernote has a pretty decent API - anyone can go and write a lighter weight client if they have the time/inclination.
  18. It's relatively expensive which I'm sure puts people off. Only about 4-5m people want to pay $45 a year for Evernote....Big jump up to $300+
  19. The originals should be in your Trash.
  20. This is a user forum so if you are holding your breath waiting on Evernote to discuss functionality that may or may not happen in the future then you are probably going to turn blue and fall over. I very much doubt whether it's technically difficult so throwing out examples of other companies that do so doesn't help a great deal, at the moment Evernote have decided not to implement this. Search the board for selective sync and there's more discussion on the subject. In the meantime, Jeff's given you a decent solution for your use case.
  21. You paid for the Evernote service, all the apps are free.
  22. And you paid for the service that exists not for stuff that might come in the future. There are so many sound business reasons for building for iOS first and then ironing out the teething problems before trying to develop for the shambles that is Android.
  23. It's not possible at the moment and Evernote's response to this request has been that there are better ways of securing your data (as outlined by wise Jeff)
  24. My trips to the emergency room make for beautiful art. How does that fit into your analogy? (I may just be being a dick here)
