Evernote 4 for Windows got a few nice improvements this morning. If you are using Evernote 4 already, then check for updates. If you are currently using Evernote 3.5, then please download version 4 here. The auto-update from 3.5 to 4 is coming soon.

Here are the new features.

Notebooks Stacks

Visually organizing your notebooks just got easier. Notebook Stacks allow you to group related notebooks together. For example, you can create a ‘Work’ Stack and a ‘Personal’ Stack. Put all of your work projects into one and all your personal notebooks into the other.

Creating a Stack
To create a Stack, drag and drop one notebook onto another or right click on a notebook to add it to a new or existing Stack.

Search in Stacks
Say you’re looking for something that you know is in a particular Stack, but you’re not sure in which notebook. No problem. You can search across all the notebooks contained within a Stack by opening the Search Explanation and choosing the Stack you’re interested in.

The great thing about Stacks is that they will be visible across all Windows and Mac computers where you have Evernote installed. So, you can have your ‘Work’ Stack open in the office and your ‘Personal’ Stack open at home.

Create more notebooks

We’ve increased the total number of synchronized notebooks that you can have in your account from 100 to 250. This increase is very useful for educators that organize student work in Evernote, teams that collaborate on projects using Evernote’s sharing capabilities, and anyone else that uses notebooks to organize their work.

Improved Note Info panel

The Note Info panel now has three possible states, so you can choose how much information you want to see.

Completely open: displaying tags, source URL, geo-location, created and updates dates, and more.
Partially open: displaying only tags and source URL
Closed

Other improvements

Installation is now possible even if you do not have administrative access to your machine
Improved search for to do and notes with encryption
New languages: We now support Korean and Traditional Chinese
Updated the Note Info panel

I just love the new version 4.1, so easy to add a new note and assign a tag to it. The look is better, and the speed too.

Thanks Evernote, great gift for the holidays.

Since upgrading Evernote will prompt me to import my 3.5 / 4.x database after each reboot of the computer. Any ideas on how to get it to remember this?

With so many Evernote users running Firefox 4 Beta (up to 8 as of this note) and the projected “final release” of Firefox 4 possibly 6 months out, when will we see an Evernote Add-on- or even Bookmarklet- which works satisfactorily with the latest Firefox?
- Andrew Sinkov
  
  Howie, we only support final software. We plan on supporting Firefox 4 when it is released.

    Let me add my sentiments of ‘bummer’ to the pile. If there’s any possible way to hack up something that would even get it ‘sort of’ working that would be huge….
    
    I would even be willing to give up one of the podcast episodes in lieu of that work getting done! (I kid!)

    Sorry Andrew but that sucks IMO. Firefox Beta 4 Beta is feature complete, heading to Release Candidate now – and it is GREAT. I suppose it won’t take a great amount of time to change the webclipper to work with the new firefox again – and you need to do this sooner or later anyway. Why not fixing it now – and making all firefox 4 Beta users happy.
    
    By the way – the google chrome dev channel is supported (there were some fixes only for the google dev channel extension) – why not the firefox “dev channel”
    
    A little disappointet regards,
    tony

    Major suckage. We’re at b10 now and a final should be ready soon. Please reconsider.
  - Howie
    
    Beta 11…12 on the horizon.

Can it really be true that the Windows client still doesn’t show shared notebooks? I am looking for the feature that’s in the mac client where I can switch between my own notebooks and those linked to my account.

Liked your previous version much better. What happened to options for choosing display and note fonts. Not everyone wants to view listings in regular ariel. Must say this look fits the style of Windows 7, but as for us using XP, not very.

Hi!

I like the interface improvements! However, when printing notes (to the printer, on real paper… ) the images are no longer printed. What might I have missed?

Dear Evernote Team!
I just tried to leave my first comment, but I received a message “You are posting to quickly. Slow down.”
My second try will be short and less polite, sorry.
Please urgently add access to shared notebooks in Windows client. That’s the only reason many people are paying for it.

Dear Evernote team:

I am using evernote to replace MS OneNote, giving me a great experience, really loving it.
One thing needs your help, once I have added to-do checkbox, how can I search of filter out all the to-do content?

Hope there is kind of feature like this, otherwise, it makes this to-do checkbox useless.

Thank you so much for this fantastic work anyway.

I thought I’d be clever and import a dropbox folder filled with MHTs, only to find out all it did was attach the MHT to evernote notes. Uhg.
