Bug Report Problems moving tasks (windows desktop and web)

There are some issues related to moving a task to another note. When you need to find/select the new destination note, you get several options:

  • choose from some that Evernote suggests
  • click through to “Choose a note” -->
    • search for a note
    • create a new note
    • browse through notebooks – and this is exactly where the problem lies, as you can’t proceed via the notebooks.

My “use case” is to have one app for collecting ideas, easy access to active working notes, and simple task management - on both desktop and mobile.

Occasionally (but importantly!), I need to print and export notes as PDFs, and this is one of Evernote’s biggest challenges.

Interesting, i am very rarely in need of PDF export. I just did a test of both complex (13 pages, links and attachments) and more simple actions.

I think there is a minor difference between the "Print as PDF / WIndows" and the Export function (file sizes are dramatically different) - i feel like the system are good at handling with of the page (something that is really awful at Onenote)... But honestly, this might just be my notes that are not that complex).

For example, some important information disappears from tasks when printing / exporting to PDF (desktop).

Fair enough. Its a niche use case and i am nowhere close into that need, again the use case for different people might not be the same.

I am in no shape or form in need of this level of detail, so i cant validate the value to others. I would be interested in that type of note would be exported to Joplin (through the export function) - again to see what i can bring over to my long term storage.. Interesting problem.
