idoc 400 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Somebody sent me a page which contains some text and images from Notion. The text is an itinerary and the images are those of a map with his driving routes. When I share this to EN v10 ios (ipad) I get the itinerary but not the maps (ie: the images are not exported). Is there a work around? Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,704 Posted June 20, 2023 Level 5* Share Posted June 20, 2023 Hi. How did this Notion page get to your Evernote account? As a URL / note / file / ENEX? Best result might be to get in touch withh the sender... Link to comment
idoc 400 Posted June 20, 2023 Author Share Posted June 20, 2023 I think it’s not just notion. I also notice that when I try to move gmails to EN the images don’t always come through. In most cases I haven’t cared enough about it but it’s definitely happening. What I see is what looks to be a placeholder for the image. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,180 Posted June 20, 2023 Level 5 Share Posted June 20, 2023 It might be the images were never in the email in first place. Modern emails, especially those from newsletter or mailing services are in fact small websites, interpreted by the mail client. Pictures (and other elements) are linked into these sites, and drawn from a server through an URL. It may be for efficiency the picture is only shown, but never really copied over from the server, and embedded into the mail. If you then forward it to EN, there is no content transferred, and the link shows as placeholder. It sometimes works if your mail client deliberately allows to download the content. My Apple Mail client does ask if oceans to allow the download, as part of the privacy settings. Privacy because downloading the pictures indicates the sender of the newsletter that the recipient has opened the email. So in fact these embedded pictures are tracking tools. The URLs contain a unique part that identifies the individual recipient while the picture is loaded from the server. The most extreme perversion of this is a tracking pixel: An image the size 1x1, color white that is only transmitted and used to track if the user has opened the email. It serves no other purpose and is practically invisible. This are my 5ct why sometimes pictures won’t make it when you forward emails. Link to comment
MvdH 424 Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Might be related to images/atachment becoming "unknown types", or showing spinning circles instead of images, when pasting or merging notes: 1 Link to comment
idoc 400 Posted June 21, 2023 Author Share Posted June 21, 2023 Now that the exports/shares are instantaneous, I will get into the habit of checking if it came through properly with its images. Thanks for helping. Link to comment
