How do I opt out of the related notes popup

I don't see anything in Chrome's option to prevent the display of the gargantuan "related notes" popup. I just want to clip and go. OK? You could turn this behavior off in the previos version, but I can't figure out how. in this one.

 

All I want to see is some animation at the toolbar icon that assures me my clip has been processed.

Click your username under the "Save" button and select "Options".  You can uncheck related results in there, which should remove that pop up.

The related notes showing in the dialog after you clip cannot be disabled at this point. (considered for a future release)

 

The Related results feature and associated checkbox in the options applies to the feature we have on search engines results page only.

Let me add my support for making this option a part of the next release--as ExNihilo said, I want to clip and go on. If I wanted related notes, I would open Evernote and search. I have never understood the usefulness of the related notes feature in the clipper--when I'm clipping, that's not the time I want to see other notes, because I'm not in the mindset of looking for stuff in Evernote. When I'm clipping in my browser, I'm working, browsing, researching--I want the clipper to be as simple and fast as possible, with minimal clicks. I like the new interface--much better--but the related notes pop-up is definitely a step backwards.

 

update: I just checked Clearly, and it allows for related notes to be turned off, so that seems to be the better choice at the moment.

kills. 

 

What would be helpful would be a way to designate which folder to send saved page to. Offer two choices, clip this page, and clip and select destination folder. Do not add another step to do this please, as that too would slow things down. Now I have to open E and manually designate where each page clipped goes, (which project it relates to). This is a time waster, and causes notes to be lost or  hard to locate.

Have you tried clicking on the notebook in the sidebar? That will open the dialog where you can select the notebook to file into.  

This is not the answer I am looking for. I do not want to sort these pages after the fact in Evernote. I want to put them in the proper folder quickly as I am doing my quick research online. As I said, sorting them after the fact is much slower.

Kindly add this option soon. I'm so annoyed by it -- and have been annoyed for months -- that I'm posting to the forum.

 

And it's not only the "related notes" (which are more "miss" than "hit") that are annoying me today -- it's the endless ads for Evernote Food that are appearing instead of related notes as I clip recipes from a cooking website.

 

How many times do I need to X out of that, to get Evernote to realized that I'M JUST NOT INTERESTED in Evernote Food?

 

I understand that the clipper is free, but as a paid subscriber of Evernote I'm really annoyed to be inundated with these ads.   :angry:

 

Thanks.

Clarification: Are you all talking about the little elephant-in-a-box icon that pops up in the lower right corner when you browse through notes? When you click on it, it directs you to 'related notes' at the bottom of the current note.

 

If that is what you're talking about, is there an update on how to disable it? It is one of the most annoying things to have that little box pop up when I'm clicking through my notes. Even if that's not what you're talking about, can someone please help me disable this thing? THANKS!

Another vote to have at least an option for this. Now, the pop-up is displaying advertising (I'm already a Premium subscriber; I don't want or need to be sold to). The confirmation that your clip was saved should disappear after a couple of seconds automatically. See how Pocket does it. The evernote UI feels like it wants to take over when it should want to get out of the way once it has served its purpose.

Hi all,

The new beta version 6.2 has this feature implemented, It's a setting on the options page and I'm eager to hear feedback if this meets users expectations. 

 

Get the build from this forum thread:

https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/62210-chrome-web-clipper-62-beta/

 

Note for Windows users - if you run the latest Chrome version it may be impossible to install unsigned extensions unless you are running in developer mode (a new Chrome policy).

I'm still getting the popup window appearing despite being on 6.3 now. Am I missing something? This is very intrusive with both clipper and clearly notes popping up all the time. I'm on the verge of uninstalling two helpful extensions just because of the popups.

Exactly what popup are you referring to? Post a screenshot and I'm sure I can help you.

 

In general all UI options are located on the Clipper options page that you access from the bottom of the Web Clipper UI panel.

I got both of these popups wthin a few minutes of each other today, suggesting that they are being pushed out. I still haven't found any setting that actually turns them off which is really frustrating. If I can't find the setting, I'm just going to uninstall the extensions; these are mildly handy, but not at the annoyance of all these repetitive popups :(
