actant 22 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I have two simple html files with embedded online images. They are put in the import folder to be imported. One can fetch the image successfully, but the other fails. What's wrong? Thank you for some clues! OK to fetch image when imported.html <html><head><title>test</title></head> <body> test<br/><br/> <img src="https://www.bc.edu/content/bc-web/bcnews/campus-community/announcements/schiller-institute-grants-2022/jcr:content/news-banner/bannerImage.transform/banner-full/image.jpg"></img> <br/><br/>test<br/><br/> </body></html> Fail to fetch image when imported.html <html><head><title>test</title></head> <body> test<br/><br/> <img src="https://savesubs.com/icons/screenshot.jpg"></img> <br/><br/>test<br/><br/> </body></html> OK to fetch image when imported.html Fail to fetch image when imported.html Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,667 Posted October 3, 2022 Level 5* Share Posted October 3, 2022 Hi. I think you already saw the issue - 1 hour ago, actant said: with embedded online images It appears that one source site was more willing to share their image with Evernote than the other. Does it help to open the HTML in a browser and use Clipper to import the content? If you are using Legacy for this, there's no point in looking for any changes - these apps are no longer supported.

Clipper will not clip local html files. In my experience once I have it displayed in Chrome a simple select all and copy followed by pasting into a new note (or alt+ctrl+V) works well. However in my case the images are also local. 1 Link to comment

Once again I learn something new... and you're right: the right-click menu works to give 'save to Evernote' options, but they do nothing when clicked! OK - looks like, as in a small percentage of online cases, this page / that image is uncopyable by normal means. If necessary a visit to the original site and some inventive printing to PDF / copying via a third-party site might be necssary. Link to comment

This should be the cause of the issue. But I can't figure out what's the difference between the ways of the source sites share their images. Thank you both for your replies! 1 Link to comment
