(Archived) Do stacks count toward the number of notebooks?

[BurgersNFries 2,407]

I know the number of notebooks is limited to 100. Are stacks included in this count? IE, can you have 100 notebooks and 20 stacks? Or would it be limited to 80 notebooks & 20 stacks?

Can you put notes in stacks, or only in notebooks? If the latter, then stacks probably do not count. Just a guess...

I have not been able to update for over 2 weeks, so the stacks issue a foreign concept to me.

Consider these 3 Stacks and 9 Notebooks. Is this what stacks will look like?

• Home Stack
  
  • Family
    Yard
    Automobile
    

Office Stack

• Customers
  Products
  Competition
  

Play Stack

• Computer
  Collections
  Vacations
  

Based on this link, I guess I'm fairly close

The wording is very ambiguous and could be interpreted either way.

For instance, does the following mean that you will end up with 1 stack and 1 notebook, or 1 stack and 2 notebooks

• "Creating Notebook Stacks is easy. Either drag and drop one notebook onto another to create a stack "

[just downloaded the stacks-enabled beta]

I think that's not the case: I made a stack of other's notebooks (Epicurious, Make, Ron't Tips), then I dragged a note from a different notebook onto the stack. It wound up in the Epicuriuos notebook (first notebook alphabetically?). So I think that the answer's no: stacks do not count against the 100 notebook limit. But official workd might negate that...

Jeff, I came to the same conclusion and revised my posting while you were creating your post.

If you drag a notebook onto another notebook, it makes a stack containing both notebooks, called "Notebook Stack", or something like it.

How do activate the Stacks feature. I am using ver 4.0. Thanks

In the Windows world, stacks were first implemented in the 4.1 beta that you can find here: http://forum.evernote.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=20762.

No, stacks don't count towards the maximum number of notebooks.

So today, you could create 100 notebooks and put each in its own stack.

We plan to raise the total notebook limit a bit once we have stacks in Mac and Windows to allow a bit more organization. (100 in a flat list was a bit hard to work with, so the UI aspects were the limiting factor on the number of notebooks.)

Nice! I was going to suggest allowing more Notebooks, since the stacks make them a lot more powerful
