I really like Evernote! Add encryption and the ability to import my considerable Yojimbo database, and I’m there. The iPhone / desktop / web syncing is the killer feature in Evernote for me. However, without the import I can’t switch. Without the encryption I won’t switch.

I’m a windows user (I need a tablet and am not interested in hacks)… I absolutely need PDF support in my notetaking. I’m an academic and when researching (or reviewing papers) want to full-text-search my PDF files. Right now I have to use two different programs, one to take notes about the file and the other to search full-text. I’m afraid If Evernote supported PDF full-text search for Windows, I’d buy it immediately…

Mixed view modes do not work for me at all. Nothing ever quite fits when there are 3 panes visible in a window. Please revert to the way it was before!

I just installed Evernote on my Mac under the latest flavour of Leopard and I notice immediately two things that don’t appear to work - Evernote (the app) fails to load as a Login item (ie, I have to load it manually - it won’t boot automatically at startup) and I don’t see any ‘Clipper’ icon in my menu bar, even though I have ‘Show Evernote Clipper in the Menu Bar’ checked in the prefs.

Do you have a place for reporting bugs with the beta?

Hi there,

I like the idea of having ONE place for all my notes very much. The greatest weakness of Evernote is getting stuff into the app. I want to clip from any application and anything I can select, i.e images, selected objects, text snippets, and entire documents. And still the source of my clipping has to be recorded automatically. If I select a text snippet from NettNewsWire, the clipping should have the info of the URL of the blog entry or the URL of the site I was clipping from. Date et al. would be nice, too
So far Yojimbo is my main repository for collecting notes and images and I am not convinced of switching.

Good but what about Windows client?

Sounds like Tara’s having a bad day. Personally I like Evernote a lot.

I agree with those who have asked for the ability to make bulleted/numbered lists, and I would love to be able to create tables in notes.

And for some reason Evernote refuses to remember my password.

Keep up the good work! I look forward to further refinements in Evernote.

You have got to be kidding me. These clowns are seriously touting Evernote as a potentially credible, cross-platform clip manager and they can’t even scrounge together a cross-platform Firefox add-on!? Now I’ve seen it all.

Evernote for Mac is incredibly terrible at the moment. I have no idea why the Evernote gang touts this as an actual OS X beta when 90% of the time hardly anything worth mentioning works. A beta should not be this inconsistent.

Yet another case of crud-ware stemming from cross-platform development. Evernote, Jack (clipper) of all trades (platforms) and master of none. Mac apps that are also developed for Windows are almost always grade-A digital sludge. Developers end up glazing the tool with lowest common denominators of all sorts.

This has to be the shoddiest software snow-job I’ve seen in quite some time. Evernote, Yikes!

First, thanks for the improvements, much like the new .pdf support. One feature request for pdf—an option to decrease the size of of the pdf as part of the import process. My thinking is that my storage quota will quickly fill and syncing will take some time if I start to import a sizeable number of pdfs in their full size.

One more suggestion, I have used NoteTaker in the past, one feature I enjoyed was the option to have ‘ruled lines’ across the page. This would be nice in EN.

On the topic of clippers, I am using 10.5.2 on my macbook, and am having no trouble with either the Safari clipper or the menu bar clipper (which I use often).
