My take is that they have tended to emulate GMail's structure more closely than anything else: GMail has some predefined folders, but not nested folders these are like Evernote notebooks.

If you follow the history of the thread, then I think you'll probably see that this is an intentional stance on the part of Evernote (look for posts by rather than making a virtue out of necessity. I don't keep anything 'important' there, just scraps that I can dump into a notebook willy-nilly. This means that I've actually changed the kind of data I store in EN3. Unfortunately, they're a flat list, sorted alphabetically. What this means is that the only left-panel part of EN3 that I find useful at all is the notebooks concept. Because I can't organize them in a hierarchy and because they're not combined with the tag list, and because I can only have 32, I don't see the point in using them.

In addition, I find the saved searches to be pretty much useless for me too. I'm trying to adapt to using it, but it's kind of a square peg/round hole argument. I can't easily select multiple tags, e.g., by clicking on their parent (a la 2.2), so the hierarchy is, well, frankly, completely meaningless. (Yes, I can tag there too - but I'd have to remember all my tags then.)īasically, I find the current tag implementation unwieldy. One of the joys of clipping to the web version is the ability to pick the destination notebook. However, I've already got 13 notebooks - adding that many more will make the list unwieldy.Ģ. If I had a separate notebook for Linux, I could just drag the note to that notebook and be done - half as much work. When I want to mark a note as a Tips/Linux note, I have to: (a) move it to the Tips notebook and then ( tag it with Linux to distinguish it from other tips notes. Yes, I can painfully accomplish the same thing with tags, but it's clunky for a couple of reasons:ġ.

What I'd like to be able to do is have subnotebooks so that I can have say Tips:Latex, Tips:Linux, Tips:Windows as subnotebooks on Tips. For instance, I dump recipes into the Recipes notebook, Tips into the Tips notebook, etc. I'm using the notebooks the same way I used many categories in EN2.2, as 'holders', as opposed to tags/attributes.
