Alexander,
Your Evernote Blog link speaks of “Evernote Desktop.” I had thought that Evernote had pretty much abandoned desktop info storage for cloud applications. Am I wrong? Does Evernote currently have a version that is a desktop application with desktop file storage?
Thanks!

Hi Cassius,
All Evernote desktop applications store the material locally, in sync with the cloud. That’s what I personally find brilliant about the product. You can get information into Evernote in many many ways and the material will always be available whether online or offline. In addition, even the Android application (probably also other mobile ones) will store the list of notes locally; once you select a note, this will be retrieved from the cloud and stored locally too.
That said, people who do not want their information to travel around the internet can choose to create local notebooks. This option (local/synced) is available separately for each notebook.

I agree, Alexander, with your identification of the most valuable new features in Evernote. Linking is great; what is more, these are “application links,” which means you can past them into any application, not just other EN notes. This has long been a standout feature of Ultra Recall for me. This make EN notes much more useable in my overall info management scheme. The new html export option is also a nice addition to similar existing export formats. I also agree that the previous absence of the capacity to copy a note to other notebooks was unbelievable. I had figured out a clunky workaround, but I was completely stunned when I first want to copy a note and discovered that it could not be done within the application! This is a pretty exciting update.

P.S. Alexander, my vote is in favor of your practice of adding new posts to old threads, when the threads are general and have not grown to enormous proportions. This does, however, give me a chance to whine about the fact that users of this forum can’t choose the option of viewing a thread in newest-posts-first mode.
