A recent show is about a topic that is, of course, near and dear to my heart: Scanning.[1] During the episode, Gabe described his scanning workflow, and how […]
Continue readingFor some reason that I will never understand, the Windows version of Evernote has included the ability to define an import folder for years, but that functionality has never made its way to the Mac version.
