The move selection arrows don't work for me. As soon as I press a button, the whole clipping procedures goes away.

The move and expand/shrink selection tools seem to be working for me (Win 7/64, Chrome 13.0.782.220 m). Cool stuff!

@Vance - What browser version and OS are you on?

I don't often use chrome, but am at the moment, and went to clip something with this clipper and the new icons on the left to change the selection.

My first reaction to them was to click them, which is not what you do. I actually thought " how do you use them then? "...until I realised that the "Clip Article" icon was the generic return shape - then I was thinking how incredibly stupid I was for a while

I think that it would (at least for me) seem more intuitive if the icons were laid out in the same way that they are on a keyboard (i.e. the 1 on top, 3 below pyramid layout) That and/or tell the user to use the keys...

I am on Windows Vista (fully updated) and the Chrome is version 13.0.782.220 m

Just to make sure - the extension must be in article clipping mode. To verify it is look at the split button in the popup window and confirm it displays 'Clip article'

[Vance 38]

Yes, it does. When I press the clipping icon, it brings up the dialogue box on the right and selects the middle panel of the site. On the left, is a transparent set of arrows, and if I clip anything, even the "clip article" on the bottom, it just goes back to the web page and the dialogue box and the arrows goes away. If I use the dialogue box on the right without making any selections with the arrows, it clips fine. The problem for me is that I want to get just the right panel, which is not the one selected by default.

If I leftclick on the evernote icon (webclipper) and on "Alle Notizen" in the bottom left corner and from there on any of my available clips it will be always opened in a _NEW_ chrome window.

Can you please change the default behavior to open such a link in a new tab instead of a window or at least add an option in the webclipper settings to achieve this?

Annoying as hell ;(

Regards,

Highend

Those are just a cue that the article clipping modification functions are available for this clip.

The cue fades out after a short period time.

All the action occurs via the keyboard Up/Down/Left/Right/Enter keys.

Got old Notification failure state again with the new clipper. As before once the state occurs no clips work. Need exit restart of Chrome to continue. Re-clip of selection which caused failure worked after restart.

Using Windows XP Professional and latest version of Chrome. The extension doesn't work for me. It highlights the clip as it did before and brings up the dialog panel with the arrows but whenever I click on any of the arrows the clipping panel disappears and the page reverts to the prior state before I clicked on the Evernote button.

See above. You use the keyboard to modify the article clip. Clicking anywhere outside the clipper dialog box cancels the clip.

Doh! Thanks. Scanned the posts above and didn't see that. It sure looks like you can click on those buttons though.

It really is tempting to click on those instructions. I did it, too.

Yeah. Been there. Done that.

[Vance 38]

Agree on the confusion regarding clicking on the instructions. I think this will be adjusted in a future update. Maybe put those instructions in text on the dialogue box?

[Owyn 457]

Just set "Article Selection" to "Disabled".

Could not use it in most cases because I could not see what was happening with long articles.

Back to cancel article clip and clip selection if the clip is obviously wrong.
