Thank you both for your help. I'm doing everything you suggested. I'm going to test it out for a few months and see how it works.

I've never been in the web clipper settings before, I wasn't even aware they existed. So I have never changed anything in there. In web clipper, both the Notebook destination and Tag selection are set to "Use smart filing". In the mac Evernote app, my default folder is _nickfox which has never changed. I did change the guitar notebook to music notebook but that was 3 months ago. While I was in web clipper, I took a look at the log files and found these errors in red: 2023\7\14 12:49:04 ERR Channel: Message 'tabClipper.checkBackgroundStatus' failed with error: Error: Tab must be specified Error: Tab must be specified at Object._tabClipper (chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:2118510) at tabClipper (chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:2123511) at Ml._handleDispatchRequest (chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:1686952) at Ml._handleMessage (chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:1685441) at chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:1685308 2023\7\14 12:49:04 ERR Channel: Message 'tabClipper.checkBackgroundStatus' failed with error: Error: Tab must be specified Error: Tab must be specified at Object._tabClipper (chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:2118510) at tabClipper (chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:2123511) at Ml._handleDispatchRequest (chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:1686952) at Ml._handleMessage (chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:1685441) at chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:1685308 2023\7\14 12:49:04 ERR Channel: Error in handleResponse UNK/UNK tabClipper checkBackgroundStatus 2023\7\14 12:49:04 ERR Channel: Error in handleResponse UNK/UNK tabClipper checkBackgroundStatus 2023\7\14 12:49:04 ERR Channel: Could not send the message "clipper_state_changed", error: Error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'id') TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'id') at Ml._sendMessageToFrame (chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:1683179) at Ml._sendMessageToTab (chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:1683498) at Ml.broadcastEventInTab (chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:1681557) at broadcastEventToTab (chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:2125630) at Ml._handleDispatchRequest (chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:1686952) at Ml._handleMessage (chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:1685441) at chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:1685308 2023\7\14 12:49:08 ERR Channel: Could not send the message "clipper_state_changed", error: Error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'id') TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'id') at Ml._sendMessageToFrame (chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:1683179) at Ml._sendMessageToTab (chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:1683498) at Ml.broadcastEventInTab (chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:1681557) at broadcastEventToTab (chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:2125630) at Ml._handleDispatchRequest (chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:1686952) at Ml._handleMessage (chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:1685441) at chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:1685308 2023\7\14 12:49:26 ERR Channel: Message 'tabClipper.checkBackgroundStatus' failed with error: Error: Tab must be specified Error: Tab must be specified at Object._tabClipper (chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:2118510) at tabClipper (chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:2123511) at Ml._handleDispatchRequest (chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:1686952) at Ml._handleMessage (chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:1685441) at chrome-extension://pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc/ServiceWorkerExtension.js:2:1685308 2023\7\14 12:49:26 ERR Channel: Error in handleResponse UNK/UNK tabClipper checkBackgroundStatus

Hi I've been using the free version of evernote for maybe 15 years or so and in April I got a new mac mini. I ended up deleting a lot of notebooks and renamed my most important notebook from guitar to music. So basically I only ever use two notebooks. The problem I'm having is that when I use web clipper now, it no longer puts my clippings into the right notebook. It worked fine for like 15 years. What happened? thanks Nick
