Evernote for Windows update

Product updates | By Andrew Sinkov
 

On Wednesday, we released an update to Evernote for Windows, which included a bunch of nice improvements in addition to the new Trunk features. Here are some details on what’s new.

Download Evernote for Windows (version 3.5.5) or check for updates

Multi-tagging

In this update, we added the ability to assign multiple tags to multiple notes at once. Here’s how it works. Select the notes that you want to tag (hold down CTRL while clicking to do a multi-select) then right click and choose “Tags…” from the menu. Next, select the tags that you want to assign.

By default, Evernote first shows only tags assigned to the selected notes. This is useful if one of the selected notes is already tagged in the way that you would like to tag the others. To view all tags in your tag list, uncheck the Hide Assigned Tags checkbox. You can also create a new tag right from this window.

Improved table editing

For those that love to make tables in their Evernote notes, we’ve got a nice update. Evernote for Windows now lets you add and remove columns and rows. May not seem like a big deal, but if you’re in the habit of making tables, then this is quite nice.

Lots more

  • Improved copying and pasting content from Microsoft Office applications
  • Improved multi-monitor support
  • Improved handling of default fonts
  • Improved design of Hide Unassigned Tags
  • Numerous stability improvements

    I love Evernote and use it almost every day. Unfortunately, the latest editions have become so memory hungry that I no longer can leave it running in the backgound. I’m whishing you get the time to trim it down to the small lean&mean application it once was!

    I was so excited about the possibilities of Evernote so I also upgraded to premium account to share notebooks and collaborate on content with two colleagues and was massively disappointed in the results.

    There is no way to clip directly to a shared notebook from the browser (for people who I shared with), the shared notebook view is clunky and seems disconnected from the main work flow AND my colleagues cannot add additional tags….sigh….why can we not have shared notebook which allows full access….the whole point in sharing is to allow them to contribute.

    Please consider working on these enhancements as I (like many others) will be reconsidering my Evernote premium account if this is not part of the development path. Its a great app missing an essential component for any serious use.

    What is happening with the text display in the windows version?
    It’s really ugly and dificult to read. Are you going to make anything to that?? Version 3.1 is still best in text and interface.
    I supose you use the Mac version all the time so dont care much for windows users. Hope you do.

    +1 for nesting – tags are good, but lets make it easy and intuitive for a primary structure like an outline. Onenote 2010 blows away evernote in doing this (and many other things), but evernote is much more device and partner friendly. Please try and learn some lessons from onenote – imagine the evernote + onenote lovechild!

    btw- mobilenotr, an iphone onenote app is pretty slick and worth looking at too.

    I know I mention some competitors, but I have no affiliation to these companies – only trying to nudge you in the right direction!

    I absolutely love Evernote. I put everything in it. That being said…

    After hibernating this program starts sucking something powerful. Seems to have a programming leak that causes 50% processor usage after it is up and running for than a day or two, and I am presented with a black screen that can only be brought back to life by exiting through the system tray icon. Please work on the bugs before tossing more features into this memory hogging clunk-o-rama of a client.

    +1 on the black screen program freeze upon hibernation. Running XP.
    Version 3.5.6.2757 (96100)

    +1 on the black screen from hibernation. Happening every single time now, running Windows 7 on a new HP. Really frustrating.

    Same thing happens on my old computer, but up until now I imagined that was because it was old and running XP. Apparently not the case.

    Please, Please, Please get a UI designer who specializes in windows apps. The whole app feels kludgey. I know that evernote is going to rock one day – it will blow away onenote, and it already does in many ways, but Onenote has a real elegance to it. it was clearly designed by an office centric ui designer. you can zoom, and drag/drop comfortably. you should have someone learn full time about the app. the other thing you are missing is that tags show up in hierarchy, but THE NOTES THEMSELVES should be in a hierarchy. why go to the tags to get context for notes?
