Handwaving about the "ins and outs" of simple EXIF flag doesn't change that fact. Every gallery app, every other photo note app, every photo editing app, contacts apps. No other popular app I'm aware of has this problem. All mobiles use the orientation flag the same way. It is a flaw, and moreover it is in fact easy to fix. Whether it is easy to do is irrelevant to the question of whether displaying photo notes incorrectly is an interface flaw. But easy to say is not necessarily easy to do. "Oh, it's so easy just display them right-side up".

This is exactly the sort of evasion and defensiveness that must look hilarious to all normal lurkers and I hope a few EN die-hards.This is exactly the sort of tone-deaf and ill-informed stance that makes developers - the actual people who need to understand specifications and formats, and implement them in code - roll their eyes in resigned annoyance. If some or all of that doesn't happen, I hope you don't feel you've wasted a lot of time with it, or with us.ĭevote brain cells? Educated opinion? On whether to display photos: I sincerely hope that you stick with Evernote, that the problem gets fixed before too long, and you find a lot of great ways to use Evernote for a long time. Sorry our-or at least my-posts haven't been helpful. I didn't mean to be discouraging, but rather to save you time, since you made clear you didn't want to get entangled with Evernote if it wouldn't be useful when you wrote, "I disagree that a few forum posts are too much fuss given the time I have spent and may yet spend with the service." We agree about that too (in that we both find posting here worthwhile if we are or may be devoting a lot of time to Evernote). As Jeff said, a big reason we spend time here is to try to help other users troubleshoot, find workarounds and third-party apps that sort of solve problems, and otherwise see how we can help each other use Evernote most effectively. I didn't mean to be offering a "cod-psychoanalytical hand waving excuse" I meant to say that, unfortunately given the use case you described, it doesn't seem that Evernote will be helpful for you for a while.Īnd that is a shame to those of us who have found it very helpful. Second, I suggested that if those don't work for you, then Evernote probably won't be worth your time. That's because you made clear that you need images to be displayed correctly for Evernote to be useful for you when you wrote, "If you mainly use mobile photo notes this makes the app almost unusable." So, since the program is currently almost unusable for you, and since our best guess is that it will not change for a while, I did two things: First, I pointed you to two previously suggested third-party apps that could help you. "Never" was the wrong word on my part-but, given my understanding of how and how quickly Evernote fixes bugs and releases new features, my guess if you will remain unhappy with the company for a while if you keep using the program. You had gone beyond that to make very clear your incredulity at both Evernote's capabilities and the company's attitude to this problem, suggesting you're currently quite unhappy with Evernote and can't be happy until this problem is fixed. Evernote is broken in its basic functionality.Įvery other app has mastered this basic functionality.Īs I understood this conversation, we were agreeing: Neither of us had any indication this problem will be fixed soon.
