by Steven Sande Aug 5th 2008 at 8:00AM

Evernote 1.1.4 is here! Alert the press!OK, all you Evernote junkies! Fire up Evernote on your Mac and get the latest update to version 1.1.4. What's new in this version?

The Evernote team says they've made the following updates:

  • Snazzy new welcome/login screen.
  • Source-URL field will now properly accept "https" URLs and provides better user-error messages.
  • Note editor focus will no longer be lost when a sync occurs while editing a note.
  • Pasting or typing the CDATA closing sequence ']]>' will no longer break the note being edited.
  • Fix *** -[NSCFNumber caseInsensitiveCompare:]: exceptions.
  • Workaround a bug in some web browsers which prevented font colors from showing up when notes are viewed on the web.
  • Chunks of text can now be dragged directly to the Evernote icon in the Dock.
  • Dragging URLs from the URL bar in Firefox now works correctly.
  • Dragging URLs from the body of a Firefox or Safari window now works correctly.
  • Dragging a plaintext version of a URL will now fetch the contents of the URL for a new note.
  • Drag-and-drop support for old-school textClippings.
  • Minor performance enhancements.
  • Stability improvements.
Don't laugh - that snazzy welcome/login screen is an important feature...

If Evernote 1.1.4 isn't immediately blasted to your Mac when you start up an earlier version, you can download it here.

I have Evernote installed on both my Mac and iPhone, but just can't seem to warm to it.

Seriously, sync'ed notes should be an Apple system feature.

There's no splash screen; the app is fast to start and doesn't need one. There's a new welcome/login screen that you'll only see when you first install the app or when change user credentials. The welcome/login screen does a nicer job of explaining what you're supposed to do at this point.

Importing/exporting are in development and will be out soon, along with a bunch of other stuff.

Hey Steve - I'm so glad they allow this here in my beloved nanny state! You know, states that protect us from people who have a hard time thinking things thru (knee-jerk sheep types). Have a good day and goodbye tuaw - off of my favorites list for injecting unnecessary unneeded personal bias in your stories.

I wish they'd bring the rich text editing up to snuff with the Windows version, specifically bulleted lists.

Any word on importing? exporting? I have hundreds of Yojimbo notes I'd love to bring over.

Evernote just doesn't do what it says it does - the text recognition in images has NEVER worked.

The iPhone app is pretty shonky too...

"the text recognition in images has NEVER worked."

Works fine for me. Alot better than I would expect, but of course it's still not as good as it probably could be.

Straight up. It doesn't recognize poop. Well a little, but certainly not enough to be useful. Damn I was excited about this app too. They make it look so cool in the video. The pictures are too blurry for it to recognize I think. Heck who knows doesn't work how I want. I was hoping it would be the answer to my business card collection solution. Nope Doesn't recognize. :(

welcome screens and splash screens are undesirable. Don't show me a screen, show me the application.

The only acceptable time to show a splash screen is if your application is so obese as to need to show something while it takes an insufferable time to load.

Make your application load quickly and there's no need or excuse for a splash screen.

I don't see a splash screen. Or maybe it's just because the applicaiton loads to fast that it shows so quickly I don't even notice it.

If only Evernote for iPhone wasn't nearly useful: Poor formatting, particularly when returning to an existing text note -- text size and wrapping/measure scales horribly. I had thought Evernote would be my note-syncing solution, but not yet.

Great - been looking forward to some of these bugfixes. I've updated and Evernote is currently "Migrating Notes from Previous version" - wonder how long it will take, been doing it for a few minutes now.

If only they could create a better more mac-like icon.
