Suppress Merge "banners"


Recommended Posts

When notes are merged an obtrusive banner is put at the top of each 'section' (i.e what was a note) with its original title.

 

Is there any way to suppress these banners.  Speaking for myself I don't need to retain a history of what something was before it was merged?

I agree they're pretty awful,  but all you can do is highlight and delete them;  AFAIK there's no way to avoid their presence after merging.  Yet.  Good feature suggestion to make it a merge choice whether or not to include headers though - and maybe give a choice of small and medium as well as Duplo!

@gazumped - thanks, I wasn't expecting there would be, but one never knows.

 

I had to merge 1,800+ note pairs, which was tedious enough, but then found I had to delete 3,600+ pesky banners :lol:  The saving grace was the 3,600+ original notes were in Trash so I was able to recover from my inevitable mistakes.

 

Tip for Windows users: 

 

If you drop a shortcut file (.LNK) into EN's autoadd folder you'll get a Note with the .LNK file attached. 

When you double click the .LNK file in the note, Windows kicks in and does its shortcut thing. 

The Pixelab xxmklink tool will create .LNK files from the command line.

 

You can guess where one half of those 1,800 note pairs came from. 

 

Idea : an ENSCRIPT option to change an existing note via

 

changeNote:

/n notebook - specifies the name of the relevant notebook

/i title - specifies the Title of the target note.

/l link - specified the link (evernote:blah blah) of the target note

 

/a or /l must be supplied, if the /a title value is not unique then ???

 

/t tag - Specifies the name of a tag to apply to the note. If the tag does not exist, it is created. You can repeat this flag to add multiple tags.

/a filename - Specifies the file to attach to the note. You can repeat this flag to attach multiple files.

 

It would be nice if one could cloak clickable things with icons/images.

Evernote does speak HTML so if you can embed your LNK file(s)* into an HTML page somehow you can attach images and copy/ paste the whole thing into a note...

 

* Edit: for clarity - that should be: links,  not LNKs

Hi, gazumped - not entirely sure if you're making a statement or asking a question ;)  

The Windows Shortcut files (.LNK files) I'm attaching initiate commands that look something like the following:
 

"%appdata%\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" "http://10.1.1.10:9131/browse/Product/187678934"

That starts Google Chrome, which 'asks' a bespoke application, that's listening on port 9131 at the intranet IP address 10.1.1.10, for the transactional data pertaining to Product 187678934.  The bespoke application creates the HTML from what's in an SQL database - e.g. quantities in stock, in the pipeline, outstanding orders etc - and gives it to Chrome to render.  To get back to EN I minimise Chrome (alt/apace N)

So I'm using the .LNK files as hooks between Evernote's loosely structured data to the tightly structured data one finds in transactional data processing systems.  Incidentally I put Evernote links into the transactional SQL database to provide reverse hooks.

Hiya - sorry,  that was a generic comment for anyone importing bookmarks;  not aimed at you specifically,  and not for anything as specialised as you obviously have.  Thanks for the extra info though - interesting use scenario!

No apology required - fyi this thread ties back to this thread paste a table into a note.  

 

I started out wanting something that would tie informal engineering notes to the product specs and their revisions.  When I got over my fixation with having revision summary tables in EN Notes (due to frustrations in getting them in there ;) ), I looked into this approach and discovered how easy was.  So I decided to extend the concept beyond product specs to the transactional data.
