Evernote for Mac Gets Quick Look and HTML Export

Product updates | By Andrew Sinkov
 

Evernote for Mac got a nice update today adding a new export option and a bunch of great usability enhancements. Check for updates or download the latest

Quick Look attachments

You can now view attachments from within Evernote using the handy Quick Look feature. Simply click on the Quick Look button in the attachment box or use the CMD+Y keyboard shortcut. This also works the other way; you can now Quick Look your Evernote notes in Finder or Spotlight.

Don’t forget, upgrading to Evernote Premium lets to you attach any type of file to your notes. Learn more on our Evernote Premium page.

HTML export

Data portability is very important to us. We believe that you should feel comfortable putting your data into Evernote with the knowledge that, if you want, you can always take it out. In addition to our XML export, we’ve added the ability to export notes as HTML. To do this, select the note(s) you wish to export, click Export in the File menu, then choose HTML as the export format. All of your meta-information (tags, source URLs, etc) is preserved in the HTML source code.

All notes button

This new button lets you instantly clear out any searches and filters that you may have and resets the view to All Notebooks. You can access this feature either by clicking the button or using the CMD+R keyboard shortcut. Why didn’t we put this handy button into the Mac client before now? We have no idea.

Other great improvements

  • ‘Save As’ now works for audio files contained within notes
  • Improved and simplified menus – we’ve scrubbed every menu with a fine-toothed-mixed-metaphor-comb to make them all consistent
  • Numerous bug fixes throughout

    I am running Mac OS 10.4.9 – is there a more ancient version I can download or do I have to wait until I get a new computer?

    I’m glad they have these enhancements for mac. I have a mac and so does my wife. This is really great stuff…

    So far really liking your app. Would love to see a Mac Stickies import and an Entourage Notes import. That would get even more people onboard with large volumes of notes and needing your premium upgrade.

    You may want to change your elephant logo “bug” as it looks more like a fetus impaled by a Dorito. Then again, maybe I’m just high…

    We use Evernote in our office all the time. We do lots of designing so clipping full pages sometimes saves us lots of time when we run out of design options and need something to refer to… Its HTML export is awesome!

    Does anyone know what to do when you get a message stating…

    Synchronization Failure

    Evernote is unable to connect with the Evernote Service. This may be due to a network problem or service maintenance. Please try again later. If enabled, automatic synchronization will resume once the Service becomes available.

    I am with you, bdrohr. I have the same problem. Have no idea where it came from.

    bd /Jason,
    I have the same issue (sync) but even more strange, on Mac has no issue, one does. They are identical G4s both running leopard. The issue on one just started today, I don’t know how to even start troubleshooting this.

    Quick look uses Textedit is the default. Is there a way to make preview the default or some other program the default?
