Smart filing no longer working

[markeh 16]

Smart filing now always points to Main Notes in web clipper.

On Firefox, Version: 7.13.8.31-fad3b6a  Windows 10.

This has happened in the past, but was fixed for a while.

Please let me know if you see the same thing.

 

thx,

Web clipper no longer saves the title of the page . It just has generic heading and takes a lot longer to save than before.

Similar problem, the web clipper always chooses the same notebook, in my case the *statistics* notebook.

On Chrome Version 88.0.4324.150 (Official Build) (64-bit), happens on both Windows 8 and 10.

My clipper (I am using Chrome but it also happens using Safari) "Smart" files into "Holding to sort". Interesting to see that Smart filing makes a consistent mistake that differs from person to person reporting here. Consistently but variably wrong!

Yes, I have the same thing, Firefox web clipper defaults to !Inbox (default notebook), and doesn't display related notes

So.... any guesses??

Think Evernote has any plans on fixing???

Smart filing failure.

Same thing here--when I save a note, it just goes to my "Main Notebook".  Before this week, it would almost always place the note in the correct notebook for the subject matter--I very seldom had to move it to another notebook.  What has changed?

Same problem here. Evernote used to be particularly good at suggesting which notebook a web clip should be assigned to. Now it only suggests the default notebook.

I sent a note to Evernote support.

Response - we are aware of the problem, time to fix unknown.

Suggest you send a note to support also... might light a fire under them.

I contacted Support several days ago. Part of the response was "As it happens, it is expected the algorithms that power the smart filing feature won't be as accurate as a brand new account,...". My account started in 2008; I now have over 75K clippings. I am not clear as to how/why having lots of clippings would affect day-to-day current Smart filing by the clipper. Luckily, probably 90% of my clippings go to one Notebook, so I turned off Smart filing and set that one Notebook as the default. For those few that I clip each day that belong elsewhere, I simply do that manually.  Every now and then I will check to see if Smart filing is working again. This misdirection occurred once before (a year or two ago; I don't recall—maybe there's a record of it in past postings); the situation cleared up and Smart filing began to work again.

Smart filing broken for me too. Always does the same folder.

Me too. Inbox.

Happens to me too. Windows 10 and Chrome. Goes to same notebook all the time.

smart filing now working again in evernote clipper

related notes also appeared

[RNRNRN 0]

I noticed that too. Came out of the blue...

[markeh 16]

Yup. Shouldn't have happened.

Mostly, since it's happened multiple times in the past, it should be part of Evernote's standard test/regression suite. An obvious and easy test.

smart sorting has not been working for me for a while now and finally out of frustration I started checking the forum and see others had this same issue but it's been resolved. Not resolved here though - both Safari and Chrome continue to "smart file" into the exact same notebook ("Archived 2013 to 2019" which makes this fun). I've tried on two different computers and same result.

Over the last few years there have been periods when this was working correctly, and periods when it wasn't. I think this is a server issue at Evernote, but that's just a guess. What's not a guess is that their engineering and Q/A processes need a little improvement.

As of the last few weeks, it's back to working, at least for me.
