Possom 0 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I am an avid fan and daily user of Evernote. I have recommended Evernote to many people. I intend becoming a Premium user when I finally start requiring more storage. I have been using Evernote on my Toshiba Tecra laptop with Windoze 7 Pro op system for years. I drag URL from address bar onto my Windoze 7 desktop…. then when I want them in an Evernote note, I drag that icon from Windoze desktop into Evernote and it generates a txt url link… which is the format I like and need. _________________________________________________ 29 predictions for 2015- Fortune's Crystal Ball _________________________________________________ I purchased a Macbook Pro to replace the dying old Toshiba. I installed Evernote on the Macbook…. it synched and runs fine…. except…. when I drag a url icon link from the Mac desktop into an Evernote, it does not give me the nice text formatted link as above... it gives me this in the Evernote: See attached screen capture to see the graphic box I do not want How do I get the Mac version of your program to do what I liked in the Windoze version? Thank you very much. Marc Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 9,827 Posted December 24, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted December 24, 2014 Why don't you install the Evernote Clipper in your browser? It will clip a selection, a page, or the URL directly into Evernote... Link to comment
Possom 0 Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share Posted December 25, 2014 Thank you very much. It does not work on my Chrome for some reason, but does work on Safari. I'll have a play with it. Is there a way to only save the descriptive text as the url link? I tried the various options listed but did not see that one. Am ditching Windoze after 25 years for Mac. Bit of a learning curve. Much appreciated. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 9,827 Posted December 25, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted December 25, 2014 Not sure I understand "only the descriptive text" - did you mean you want a link that looks like this website link rather than a bit of code - https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/79553-evernote-url-link-format-in-mac/#entry335268 ? If so, you'd have to create it. Clip the URL to get the link and then right -click the http://xxx in the note to edit the hyperlink and add a different display text. Clunkyerer than your previous system, I know. If I want to save URLs for later I tend to highlight a descriptive para on the website and use "clip selection". Link to comment
