Our team of developers and designers have spent the better part of the last year building a completely redesigned Evernote for Mac. We added over a hundred new features and capabilities that make the app better, faster and smarter for our current users, while also making Evernote more accessible to new users.

The new Evernote for Mac is coming soon, but we thought you might like a sneak peek. A beta of the new Evernote for Mac will be available next week. Make sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook to get the latest.

Looks nice! Hoping the the retina screenshot bug has been fixed.

After the Sktich fiasco I’ll be careful before blindly upgrading to this version… that said I do look forward to checking it out.

Evernote, in your new version for the Mac will the multiple PDF in one note bug be fixed

Here is what happens:
Open a note containing more than one PDF
Open a PDF from that note full screen
Notice that PDF does not stay on the screen, within that note it moves to the next PDF, then the next, cycling through all PDFs in one note.

The jumping to the next keeps one from reading a full screen PDF, why, it cycles to the next PDF. This bug has been in all versions of Evernote for the Mac. Very frustrating.

Another thing: in a notebook do a search, oops I am in the incorrect notebook, move to the correct notebook the search field is empty. Again we must retype all search criteria.

In three panel view work on a note, the second panel moves so you cannot see the note you are in. Yes it sometimes moves the third panel as well thus you are not in the same note you created.

For all its foibles I still love Evernote.

Have you attended to all the issues cited by that most thoughtful forum, the Hacker News of ycombinator ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4716260 )? It would *really* behoove both your marketing departments to make sure that you have – AND that you get someone on your staff active on news.ycombinator.com and post replies to the concerns there. I really *want* to muster the energy to attempt again to get into EverNote for Mac – but I’m going to wait to see how you folks reply to all the concerns there.

I’m hoping that this new version will let me configure my Evernote database to live on my large external disk (instead of my puny SSD).

I could not see very clearly in the video if notebook stacks are supported in this new version. Seems like the left hand navigation pane does not show notebook stacks the way the current version does.

This would be a deal breaker for me and I would rather not upgrade if notebook stacks are not there. Thanks,

This product does seem to be growing on me, get me that cream!

No but seriously, I am hoping that at least a basic outliner option will be available one way or another and to have the option of viewing the main screen segments in portrait mode, i.e. having the contents of the note displayed to the side of the note list instead of underneath it. On OSX full screen mode, there’s just toooo much whitespace.

  Especially in list view.

I like the look of the interface, but I am missing the “Saved Search” view on the sidebar. I use GTD contexts to filter my notes with a list of searches that I’ve built. I use these as the first step when reviewing what I need to do, and occasionally add keywords when searching for a specific note.

I need at least the saved searches back on the sidebar (not necessarily the ability to build new searches), at least as an option that by default is disabled.

  Saved searches are in the search drop down. You can drag your most frequently used ones into the Shortcuts!
