Wine Evernote works well in ubuntu linux 8.04

I gave up Google notebook and now I am using Evernote as my note taking software. The advantage of Evernote is it has a desktop application which allows you to edit your note without Internet and then synchronize it when you get online. But as I said, they only support Windows and Mac.

Today I try to install it with wine, and it is incredible that Evernote 3.1 works very well on wine.



And the system cost is endurable, it costs 30m memory and do not cost much CPU time.


How to install and get it work?

1. Download the exe file from http://www.evernote.com/about/download/#a-macwin The latest version is 3.1
2. Open a terminal

wine Evernote_3.1.0.1034.exe

Continue the install, and then you can use Evernote3.

Problem with clipboard

There is a problem in copying/pasting words. If you copy words from a x-term application and paste it into Evernote, it won't work. But if you copy words from Evernote to a x-term application, it works.

I didn't find a really solution, but I found when you copy contents form a simple gnome application, do not use "ctrl+c" or the paste menu. Right click in where you want to paste and choose "Paste Special...(ctrl+shift+v)", then choose "paste plain text", then you pasted the contends to Evernote, even including Chinese is OK. If you choose paste HTML, nothing will happen.

My wine version: 1.1.5
My System: ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron

From Google Notebook to Evernote

It is really sad that Google stopped the development of Google notebook. I am always respecting that it may have a off line version with Google gears, but the ending is they stopped it.

Evernote released a tool to help Google notebook users import their notes to Evernote. As Google Notebook is died, I have to find one instead of it. Evernote has a Monthly upload allowance -40M, but it is enough for notes taking. Evernote responses slow in China, this is a little depressed.

Evernote supports off line note taking and synchronizing. But it is strange that they only have windows and mac version for it. I go to the offical blog, many linux users are complaining about it. Some developers of Evernote are also linux fans, they said they would like to give a linux version, but the boss disagree. Really strange.

I will test is Evernote working with me well, and I will share my opinions later.
