mysterion 0 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Before today, I've been able to right-click inside a note and select the option "Capture Selection from Screen" (either that or something similar). This would allow me to drag my mouse around a region of the screen and instantly put that screenshot into my note. But ever since I updated Evernote this morning (to version 7.13), that very useful feature is missing from my right-click menu. What happened to it, and where can I find it again? Thanks.

AndyDent 113 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Similarly infuriated at this loss. I use this feature all the time. Using Grab and copy is a distinct hit on my workflow. Also, the Import Image command has been broken for a long time, on two different Macs I have noticed it apparently freezing Evernote for minutes, eventually saw the alert below. Link to comment

I never really use this feature, but I know what you're talking about. Could be it is related to the clipper not being installed if you are running Safari 13. Link to comment

They require you to - go to the Finder - Show Desktop - Find the screenshot file - make the current note visible as a drag target - drag the screenshot file into that location Ahh, but you may say you can set the Save location for your screenshots to go to Clipboard True, but that then means, as I'm busy writing and want to quickly grab an illustration in my current note, I have to stop and think can I throw away whatever is in the clipboard It's all about breaking the flow with Evernote Annoyances.

Level 5 PinkElephant 8,795 Posted October 11, 2019 Level 5 Share Posted October 11, 2019 @AndyDentThree remarks: 1) The assumption that this may be related to the Clipper issue may be valid. To prove it, a support ticket would be helpful 2) On a MacBook Pro with a Touch Bar it is very easy to make screen copies, as well as by using the shortcuts. Usually they go to the desktop, but there can be selected another target, like a special folder or the clipboard. Yes, it is an effort to move this from there into a place in EN. 3) To be able to hold more than one issue at the clipboard at once, I use the app Yoink (MacOS and iOS). It allows to store up to 100 clipboard snaps of all kind, and go back to them to use them somewhere. You could copy a number of picks in a row, and move them later into their spots in EN. Maybe this could help straighten your workflow. Link to comment
