Use nozbe to save evernote12/23/2023 ![]() I think I understand the dynamic pretty well, thank you. In that role, you get all kinds of ideas about what those features are (from internal and external sources), and you try to be accommodating, but not all ideas are feasible or sensible and developer time is limited, and you need to combine or pick and choose which ones to implement. My 'mentality', as a software developer myself, is to try to add features that make users' lives easier, of course. Things become essential after you get used to it, so you have to imagine living with it and then having it taken away from you to be able to decide whether it is essential to you or not. Well with that mentality everything ever invented isn't essential since people have managed without it before it was invented. persons involved feels "unnatural": saving the tag in plain text and c&p into search. ![]() But if you just have tagged projects and not created an elaborate structure with "overview" note(s) etc., the only way to get to the project info is to search for the project tag. by putting old stuff in an archive folder and using tags. In such a scenario, you hit the 250 notebooks after a while and need to re-organize somehow. I use EN for private and business and have a lot of projects AND mainly organize with notebooks. I just try to say that if you try to store / work with more complex issues in EN, linking etc is (potentially) more necessary - if not essential. If it helps: I myself store a ton of recipes in EN. Uh, I didn't mean to offend anybody who "just" stores cooking recipes in EN. ![]() I find them useful in fact, that was a big part of the the initial appeal of Evernote to me, once I figured out how tags worked, but you can use other mechanisms. There's nothing necessary about using them, though. Not sure what the attempted snark about cooking recipes is, or what relevance the 250 notebook limit is, but yes, in Evernote, tags are certainly a powerful way of linking notes together. Would you want a way to create them ad hoc? Via the keyboard? Right-click menu option? Toolbar option? Presumably these would work in all Evernote clients.Įither way, you still need a way of creating them in an Evernote note: maybe drag/drop from the tag, notebook, or saved searches lists into a note location would suffice (oops, dragging a tag onto a note body adds the tag to the note). You could call them "search links", I suppose. Why stop at tags? Why not allow any valid Evernote search? This would be much more powerful and useful, with more or less the same degree of complexity in the implementation (since the proposed tag link would entail applying a search filter to your notes anyways). It's not exposed in the note body, but the note header is always available when you're editing an Evernote note in the Windows client, whereas it's possible that a "tag link" may be scrolled out of view, a downside.), this is somewhat interesting, but rather underpowered as an option. Not quite the same thing, but certainly useful. ![]() Notwithstanding the fact that there is an existing similar mechanism, at least in the Windows client, as noted above (Shift+Click on a tag in the note header will toggle whether the tag is included in your current note filter. Tip - if you save it in folder that's included in your path var you can run it from anywhere.Ĭontext: the original request was for a mechanism whereby you could click on something in a note to find all notes that have a specific tag. Note: change the 3rd line to a path where you want to keep a copy of these batch filesĬreate a batch file called EVTag.cmd (or what ever suits) with the following contents:.if you are unable to paste the link after running, open cmd and type "clip /?" to see if it installed. Note: needs clip.exe installed (think it comes with most copy's of windows).Note: your path to ENScript may be diffident.Or rather i have a batch file that makes batch files i can attach to the landing page. I make batch files that use the ENScript to load the search for me. I wanted this so bad that i have a rather un-elegant workaround i thought i'd share: Its to much work to then keep adding other notes to the landing page manually so the idea of a link to a saved search (for me it would be to open all notes in a tag) sounds great. I then link out to all my todos/other notes. I usually make a landing page with the same title as my tag name with reference material, brainstorming and other helpful information in it.
