(Archived) Evernote opens weblink in Evernote (not external browser)

[enfinity 6]

Hi *,

Since I last updated Evernote, websites are opened WITHIN Evernote. I can't see the slightest use in this "feature." How can I get Evernote to open weblinks in my browser again?

Thanks

Bug: After I exited and reopened evernote, it opens weblinks in my external browser. So I guess it's a bug.

That happened to me yesterday with a note of the Fujitsu Scanner S1100 which im trying to buy, i opened 1 link to youtube which has a review of it and the content of my note was replaced.

OK, it's happening to me again... Very annoying bug. I'll go back to the stable release and hope this will be resolved soon.

Thanks for reporting, we'll look into it

Does anyone have a note where this occurs that they could export and send on over?

Well this has broken 2 of my notes, really distubing bug!!

Mea culpa for update to every new build...."If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

If anyone has a note that causes this that they can send to me, please PM me. To send a note, you right click, export and then save.

We haven't been able to reproduce this bug and having an example note would help a lot.

thanks!

Another related bug is opening a blank page in a browser when clicking a url.

The previuos bug is random, didn't have again since the other day...

Also had this problem twice. The problem with recreating this issue is that it destroys the note! When the target of the link open in editor you cannot go back to original note which is lost!

BTW the last build introduced so many bugs - I cannot "tab" to enter new row in table, clear formatting function doesn't work at all. It's a disaster

Anyway of going back to previous build?

FYI, this bug (links opening within the note editor instead of via an external web browser) will be fixed in the next 4.5.8 beta.

Thanks for reporting the problem with using tab to enter a new row in a table. This fix will be available in the next 4.5.8 beta.

You can uninstall and find the previous GA at: http://evernote.s3.amazonaws.com/win4/public/Evernote_4.5.7.7146.exe

Thanks,

No, you won't lose your data, but for precaution's sake back it up to an external pen drive a different folder than where you have EN installed. See my post here for instructions.

I'm experiencing the same problem. Hyperlinks in Evernote don't open in the browser or anywhere! I exited out of Evernote and reentered, but no joy. Now I'm also thinking of uninstalling and reinstalling. What does "the previous GA" mean? Does the installation process give the user a choice of build? I installed such a long time ago that I don't remember the details.
