Getting notes from Evernote to ...

We (me?) hijacked the thread on the perfect outliner to discuss getting notes out from Evernote.

So, let’s start a new thread.

I remembered that Rightnote has an import/sync option for Evernote notes. At least in the Pro and the Trial edition. So I installed the Trial for Rightnote 3.0.5.2 and connected to my Evernote account from withing RN (using the Evernote Manager in the “Tools” menu). Connecting is easy. Importing through “Evernote Sync All” (after selecting which notebooks to import) is easy, too.
And, when importing works, it is fine: All the contents and formattings from EN notes are stored in a Rightnote file (one per Evernote notebook). So you get a local backup of your Evernote data and can start manipulating the notes in the hierarchical tree in EN.
However, there is a problem connecting to the Evernote website. Sometimes it works, however, connections abort and I get an EOleException. Hope that is a temporary problem. Because getting the notes for my next 2 projects from Evernote to Rightnote would be a great help. So I’d gladly pay the upgrade fee (I have a licence for RN 2.x).
I keep trying. And will keep you informed.

What I am still looking for is a way to represent the Evernote notes visually. Something like Bubble Browser (but for Windows).
