FrankC 75 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I have an odd problem using the Web Clipper in Chrome. For some images, I want to right-click and choose "Clip image to Evernote" (I know there are other methods, like screenshots etc.) However, I see three different types of apparently random options when I right-click : (1) No Evernote option at all on the right-click context menu (2) Just a "Clip full page to Evernote" option (3) "Evernote Web Clipper" with 4 sub-options, including the one I want - "Clip image to Evernote" Any of the above can appear - even on the same page/image . I can't see any pattern to this e.g. whether EN is running or not, legacy or V10 etc. For testing purposes, I've tried this multiple times on the same image - but get any one of the 3 options above. It's possibly a Windows/Chrome problem. I haven't logged it as a bug yet - wondering if anyone else has experienced it or has any suggestions ? Link to comment

The menu you see does seem to be very context and website specific. Generally I see the menu with either 3 or 4 sub options but it does always seem to include clip the image. I haven't tried lots of different websites though. I suspect that it's limitations imposed by the website rather than a problem with webclipper. If you are able to select the image (ie highlight it) you could then use the webclipper and choose the "selection" option. Link to comment

Yes, but in this case it's on the same image on the same website - I can get any of the 3 options- I've tried it at different times for testing purposes. Doesn't make sense to me ! 1 Link to comment

Doesn't make sense to me ! I agree. The complexity of modern websites sometimes makes it very difficult to work out what is going on. Even so you would expect a consistent result even if the image was being produced using some javascript wizardry rather than being a traditional fixed html image. Link to comment
