[shadokart 0]

Hello,

I have spent some time trying to find the answer to this question, but with no success : i don't know how to create a hyperlink in a note, enabling me have a link with a heavy document (pdf file of more than 50Mo, or vidéo).

Thanks for your help !

I use the lazy way - create shortcut to file on desktop. Drag shortcut to note.

Edit: sorry - works in Windows, anyway...

Hmm. I tried creating an alias to a video file and dragging the alias into Evernote. The video itself just ended up in Evernote.

But how do you create the shortcut to file ?

... Meaning the video was less than 50Mo. What about vidéos of more than 50Mo ? What do you do then ?

I'm not sure that it's possible on a Mac. Macs can't make file links the same way Windows can.

In my ignorance my first impression was that you are in the bug business.

However, after a little research I find that you are in the "blind arcade" business:

an ornamental motif having the form of a blind arcade or arch, as in medieval cabinetwork.

Oh yes, blind arcade, that's the Windows business, right?

Just kidding. Couldn't resist your arcane reference to Windows.

I had a look, and that is all too complicated for me. I'll do without linking. Thanks for the help ! :-)
