Adding link to web page with Evernote for Win 8

[JB 0]

I have been using a very old version of Evernote for years. With that version I can copy something from a web page and paste it into a new note and the date and link are automatically saved.

 

I now have a new computer and I am trying Evernote for Win 8. With this version only the date seems to be copied--not the link. At least, if the link is recorded I cannot find it. I have had to resort to manually copying the link and pasting it into the "Create link" field. This is very tedious.

 

Is this the only way now?

 

I did see that there is another app for web clipping. I don't understand if this is a separate program or an addon to Evernote. Are there people that don't using web clipping with Evernote?

Have you had a look at the note information under the 'i' icon?  The URL of your clip should be there.

Hmm, where is the "i" icon? Are you referring to the Win 8 version? I see only a back icon and a delete icon. I found the dates under the "More..." menu option on the menu on the left side of the note, but there is no link there.

Anything like this is your note toolbar?

 

[JB 0]

Well, there is a toolbar but it isn't the same and the only I on the toolbar is for italics.

 

Any other ideas?

I'm on the current desktop version 5.6.4.4632 - are you using Web or Touch?

[JB 0]

I am using the Windows 8 app or what you call "Touch."

Ah.  The 'Touch' app is a different animal from the Windows 8 Desktop version,  and I'm sorry that I have no experience there.
