Hi ehrt74 and JohannesR,
I have sent in a bug report
My redacted request (I'm not attaching screengrabs and have changed some words) for support is:
"Hi xxx,
thanks for replying. I attach 6 screengrabs and a description of my issues - I hope you can show me a fix.
The solution I would like:
a) I want to clip a web page once, without having to exit evernote
b) Can I switch off the prepopulation of tags and folder, when I'm clipping webpages into evernote android app?
All steps below refer to the latest version of the Evernote 10 app.
Here's what happens when I try and clip a webpage into Evernote 10, Android:
1 Screengrab
Let's clip a website.
I go to:
https://www
and go to Share in the android menu - then click on the evernote icon.
Attached screengrab 1 shows you what happens.
It does not clip https://www , instead evernote displays a clip of another page - nothing to do with https://www
And displays lots of irrelevant prepopulated tags.
2 Screengrab
So I start again, I exit out of evernote
and follow the steps in step 1 again,
this time, https://www does display in evernote.
But:
the prepopulated folder is irrelevant: xxxxx
And the
prepopulated tags are irrelevant
- for example it show the "xxxxx123" tag - nothing to do with https://www
3 Screengrab
So I then click on the tags arrow and try and remove the prepopulated tags
Screengrab 3 shows what happens - I have to SEARCH to remove the prepopulated tags
4 and 5 Screengrab
Screengrabs 4 and 5 shows you what happens when I search for the
"xxxxx123" tag
- Evernote displays multiple
"xxxxx123" tags - 11 (eleven) in total.
BUT: I have only 1 (one) "xxxxx123" tag - why is it showing 11 duplicate tags?
I have to scroll through them and click on the blue ticks to remove the tag
BUT: Only some of the blue ticks remove the tag, if I press on some of the 11 blue ticks, they do not remove the tag!
6 Screengrab
Screengrab 6 shows you what happens after I have managed to remove the "xxxxx123" tag -
I now have to repeat the tag removal task multiple times, to go through all of the irrelevant tags and remove them -
this could take 10 minutes? More?
This seems like a big waste of time? A bug? A poor design?
It makes the Android app difficult to use.
Many thanks xxx - I'm a big fan of evernote -
I hope you can show me a solution to my clipping issue"
