BTW, when replying using either Quick-Reply or Quote, neither appears to offer a means of attaching an image (or other file). I had to use Reply, which doesn't include quotes.  Is that by design?

-rjbull (April 09, 2018, 03:15 PM)

You can use Quote first, then click Preview to further edit your reply and add attachments as desired.

Thanks!  Though I'd rather it were a one-step process, like (I think) it used to be.

-rjbull (April 09, 2018, 03:58 PM)

If it was, it was a long time ago.  There were never attachment functions in the quick reply as long as I've been here.  There used to be an [ img ] button that allowed you to link offsite images., but mouser took that away a while ago.

There's also treepad and noteliner.  I use the latter, but all of them have variations on the same features, in my experience. Noteliner is abandonware at this point, but it works for me, so I haven't changed.

And thanks for the bit about treeline... I hadn't heard of that.

Hi, and welcome to the site.  You're apparently associated with the company- can you more explicitly declare that association and what you're relationship to the company is?  We like to have that information clear and out in the open on any endorsements.

The Thinning

There's no Rotten Tomatoes score- presumably because it's a Youtube Red production.  My daughter just found out that we have Youtube Red because of the Google Music subscription, and suggested that we watch this.  I had my doubts - Logan Paul of Youtube fame plays one of the main characters.  With him in it, I was skeptical - after all the poster boy for bad youtubers that seemingly doesn't have reverence for nor take any thing seriously.  But it's actually a pretty serious thriller, and better than it has any right to be. I recommend it, strangely enough.

So what you're saying is that you can't have multiple categories of notes in the same file, i. e. multiple tables. I'm not sure that SnapDB is the best for this paradigm, as its entire nature is built around  being a simple DB, not a multi table DB.

you can approximate this by having an additional field to entry type, but then they'd also need to be using the same fields.

skwire can comment most effectively on this, however.

I haven't noticed that, and I make pretty extensive use of it.  Unless I'm misunderstanding you, you're saying that you can't have more than one record in a DB?

I have seen that also. I switched to using Simple Note (free is always good) and keep any files associated with the note in my pCloud account with a link in the note.

-c.gingerich (April 05, 2018, 09:56 AM)

So it's not a new issue

I've just never seen it before.  Evernote has too many features that I need, and I just couldn't adapt to onenote over several machines.

I did figure out that it's a first run page.  So perhaps it's just a defect that was introduced to the update.  They haven't reached my tolerance yet.  But I'm definitely looking at them with a side eye.

Living Room / Evernote new behavior

« Last post by wraith808 on April 05, 2018, 09:17 AM »

I use Evernote, and love it now that I have taken the time to get it set up to work with my workflow.  I just experienced something, however, that makes me question my attachment to it, and wondered if anyone else had experienced the same.

Evernote asked me to update, and I did.  I just left the update running and went to bed for the night, so I'm not sure if it was the update, or Evernote itself, but when I came to my desk this morning, there was a web page in every browser with an Ad for Evernote Business touting the new spaces feature.  I went to my secondary work browser, and it was there too.  Took a look at my laptop- there too.  Connected to my work machine, and lo and behold, it was there too.

It struck me as pretty spammy. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

The O'Connor version is much, much better, IMO.

-Deozaan (April 04, 2018, 12:43 PM)

They're different.  Styles and intents, and frankly singers.  I think each is good in it's own way.   He's also much older than Sinead was when she did the song, also to keep in mind, Prince's has no post production as it's live.

The song was written by Prince, it was later revealed. He was going to record it, but gave it to O'Connor to propel her career, which it did.

Hi Arthur, thanks for the info about ClickWhen. Unfortunately it appears to me that the link to the exe and the source code are dead, so it's not so useful.

-Deozaan (April 02, 2018, 07:19 PM)

If you're interested, you could probably tweet to Adam Pash, the author, to attempt to find out if it was still available...  I know he has some of his source on GitHub, but couldn't find this one.

UPDATE: Found the .exe at least on Softpedia: http://www.softpedia...ents/ClickWhen.shtml

Heh. I guess what you said about having different implementations was true.  Mine didn't have the nifty up/down arrows in the right click menu, but used something similar to the steam wishlist, where you put in the position where you wanted it, and it renumbered each record.  I might still finish it as it's an interesting problem- but I already did the part that I wanted to do, i.e. parse a text file that didn't have a set format and put it into an object.
