I’ve always though the 5 stars should be -1 (ugh), 0 (unrated), and 1,2,3 for good, better, best. That’s how I use the 1-5 in iTunes.

The best solution to this would be to open the Shared URL for the note you want to save as a PDF, then select Print in your browser, then select the built-in save as PDF option from the print menu (the availability of this varies by platform but most support saving as PDF from the print menu)

On my iMac and iPad viewing Evernote notes that are a printable 12point font are way too small to read on screen. Evernote needs to correct this issue. Providing a zoom/ in out feature would help.

When, Oh when do we get a “Tag” column? I mean, why’s this so difficult?

My view is different than on your screenshot – icons are in color (not grey) and I don’t have Favorites Bar. Is it, because I have Snow Leopard, not Lion?

My sugestion for the next update: add quick view (like in Mac OS X – shortcut: space) avaliable in Card View.

I’ve had date, time, and date+time stamping hotkeys for my Mac for quite some time, that work in all applications. Inserting these is a standard “service”, and can be configured to respond to the hotkey of your choice in the “keyboard” area of the Preferences app (I think; I’m not at my mac).

I built similar functionality, with similar hotkeys, on my work Windows box, using AutoHotkey (autohotkey.com)

That said, I look forward to the other enhancements.

Here’s the AHK code, if anyone’s interested. You’ll have to figure out the Mac bindings on your own.

; timestamp
#!t::
; It will look like “03:43:19 PM”
FormatTime, $CurrentDateTime,, hh:mm:ss tt
SendInput %$CurrentDateTime%
return

; datestamp
#!d::
; It will look like ’2010/10/07 – Wed’
FormatTime, $CurrentDateTime,, yyyy/MM/dd – ddd
SendInput %$CurrentDateTime%
return

; date and timestamp
#!j::
; It will look like 2010/10/07 03:43:11 PM
FormatTime, $CurrentDateTime,, yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss tt
SendInput %$CurrentDateTime%
return

Inexplicably, your people don’t seem to get the brilliance of my top feature request: star ratings (you know, 1 to 5 stars) for notes. iPhoto has it. iTunes has it. Lots of other apps have it. Evernote needs it.

It should of course be sortable and searchable. And “0 stars” doesn’t mean “really poor”, it means “no star rating assigned yet”.

Puh-leeeze?

Hmm…I just ‘went Premium’ and am very unlikely to upgrade to the latest version if I’m going to be stuck with card view (also use on iPad). I find it to be clunky. It’s like going from college-lined paper to standard.

I wholeheartedly agree! I rarely title my screenshots and use the images to organize/find what I’m looking for rather than titles, text, or even tags. I HATE how most of my images have been cropped to fit inside these cards, their content distorted. I too am a premium user very disappointed.
