mwolfe 0 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Evernote used to be spit simple: you wanted a webpage saved in toto, you clicked the elephant and presto, an Evernote clipping right in your program. Unless I'm missing something -- not difficult to do in the oceans of posts on this site, and a web clipper extension that doesn't make any sense in its description -- when one wants to clip a webpage, it now gets saved to the web site where it then has to be synced into your program later. WTF? It's like someone at Evernote said: how can we really piss off our existing customers? And someone answered: I know, let's make it A LOT more work to get anything into their own program.

jbignert 473 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Which browser extension are you referring to? Chrome, Firefox, Safari or IE? Link to comment
mwolfe 0 Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 Safari. Now using 5.1 Downloaded the beta extension -- which works fine, if you don't mind the belly dance of 1) having to sign in; 2) uploading everything to the website, only to 3) launch Evernote and 4) sync manually.The old way, clicking on our friendly pachyderm would clip the page, load Evernote, make a note and Bob's your uncle.

Level 5* Metrodon 2,184 Posted September 1, 2011 Level 5* Share Posted September 1, 2011 With the changes in Safari 5.1 it has become very hard to save as PDF from our extension and enable native clipping. Link to comment

The old way was much simpler. I don't like having to manage my notes via another website. Having them go straight into an application on my Mac makes me feel more in control and it feels more immediate. Link to comment

Are you saying that it can't be done any longer? No work-around? Link to comment
mwolfe 0 Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 Well, I just tried clipping this whole page using the beta Evernote toolbar applet and no joy, even with Evernote open AND then syncing. How do you spell Bow Gus? Link to comment
barrymcbride 10 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Is printing the page to PDF an option for you? Link to comment
