(Archived) REQUEST: Ability to hide images

[deadponies 0]

Hello. I'm new to Evernote and searched the forums for this topic without success.

Is there a way to make images (.jpg, .png, etc) not appear fully displayed when you click on the note? I have some saved images that are NSFW and I really don't want them displaying in large size when I do a search.

I know that with pdf files you can elect to view as an attachment, and so I was wondering if there was something similar for image files.

Thank you for your help.

There isn't currently - you could zip them.

Thank you. At least I know to stop looking for a way to do it.

I have to believe I'm not the only one who would like to have this feature.

Someone here pointed out to me that if you change the extension of a picture file, Evernote stores it as an icon; but most image handling software is smart enough to work out the format and display it properly despite the obfuscated name. I tend to change JPG to GPJ and PNG to GNP (ie reversing the name) so I can get the name back together if I need to. Needless to say there's no OCR of the contents, so you need to add keywords or name the note appropriately.

Thank you for that tip but that seems pretty labor intensive. I've decided to just move all my images safe ones and NSFW images to Dropbox.
