  1. Device: Asus Google Nexus 7 (2013) / Samsung Galaxy S7 Android Version: 6.0.1 Evernote for Android Version: 8.4 / 8.4.1 Browsers: Chrome 69.0.3497.100 / Brave 1.0.59 I'm having a problem now clipping/sharing web pages from Chrome and Brave (Chromium based) browsers. Very early on, the Evernote Web Clipper for Android used to clip a URL or the page. In later versions, used with Chrome on Android, I couldn't get page content, but it would clip the URL and then a screenshot. Sometimes, I wanted this, sometimes not. Recently, even prior to these latest configurations I'm running, noted above, page Shares from Chrome or Brave browsers stopped including screenshots. Instead, I started getting the URL (only sometimes) along with a weird attachment with an unusable 6-character randomized extension. It turns out that this attachment was actually an image file, but it gets clipped/shared with a random 6 character extension instead of .jpg or .png (I think it was originally .jpg, but I can't remember for certain) Firefox on Android still clips the URL at the least; no screenshot (not sure it ever did) Clip Article with Text is hit or miss, depending on the page and content. Most of the time, it never completes. Ideally, I'd prefer to see some options for Android Clipping/Sharing so I know exactly what I'm getting: URL (ideal) Screenshot (would be nice if we could make it fast, and choose the resolution; I don't need full screen/HD resolution. I just resize it down to 400px - 600px wide later if I even keep it) Article with Text (that works. Right now this is hit or miss for me, and usually only seems to work in Firefox; never works in Chrome based browsers. Never completes, just shows Clipping in the note when I view it on a computer) I'm fine with just the URL most of the time, since I usually do all of my production work and real Evernoting on a computer. In fact, I prefer this URL-only option, because it should be much faster to clip. The screenshots are handy sometimes as a reminder of what I've clipped for obscure sites, but man, it takes a long time to clip, save, upload, download, and whatever path to resolution that it before I can get it saved and it lets me back out to browsing. Here's an example of the issue I'm having now in Chrome and Chrome-based browsers, like Brave, on Android. This note was created from a Share to Evernote on the Nexus tablet. Same thing happens with the Galaxy S7. You may notice in this example that there is no URL in the note. That seems to be a new issue. The image attachment thing's been happening for several weeks for me. The URL is available through the Note Info option in the Evernote client on a computer, but that's an additional step. Just seems like something's off, and I'm not sure what or where. Anyone else seeing this? ====================================================================== AS SEEN WHEN CLIPPED IN ANDROID No URL, no Screenshot Note weird extension on the attachment AS SEEN IN EVERNOTE CLIENT FOR MAC RENAMING THE ATTACHMENT TO AN IMAGE FORMAT AS A TEST Right-click the attachment, choose Rename AGAIN, SEE THE RANDOMIZED FILE EXTENSION HERE? THIS IS UNIQUE TO THE IMAGE. OBVIOUSLY NOT A USABLE EXTENSION MANUALLY CHANGING THE EXTENSION TO .PNG OR .JPG CONFIRM THE CHANGE NOTE THAT THE ATTACHMENT ICON CHANGES; ATTACHMENT IS NOW USABLE AS AN IMAGE; CAN QUICK-VIEW, OR OPEN AND EDIT The image attachment is now viewable, but is still not shown as an embedded image like it usually is on shared pages/URLs from Android Browsers. Unable to set option to view as attachment or inline as is possible with PDF files. This is relatively useless and would be more efficient if there were an option to not clip an image at all if it won't present as an inline image. Again, as noted above, if this is to be the behavior, it would be great to be able to turn it off altogether, or be able to reduce the resolution of the clip before it uploads, which should save time. This takes too long, even when it used to work. Most of the time, all I'm trying to do is save the URL anyway, since the clipper in Android doesn't work as well as it does on a computer for saving articles or pages. I know there are other ways to do this, but the Share option from the Android browser was convenient.
  2. Hehe, yeah, Dave, the : D would be the accompanying smiley opposite for frowny D : G - I do make regular use of the Code Block option but just didn't fit the use here in this particular note. I use the Code Block option for sets of commands, or instructions, etc. I'm still on 6.13, and have noticed that I can't indent with Code Block anymore like I used to be able to. Also seen some strange behavior there where where in some versions or some methods of use, the code block would start at the left margin, and only the text would indent. And then other times, I'd be able to indent the Code Block windows itself. I'd settle for either at this point.
  3. Evernote 6.13.14 for Windows I was just updating some tech notes, and went to make a note about a drive letter and the EN editor replaced my "D:" with a small black rectangle. I presume this was supposed to be an automatic text formatting element, and I can't think of anything else this might be except for a frowny emoji? I've tried searching the forums and can't find much on this, except for people asking for emoji support. I've also tried disabling the Automatically format text elements option, but that didn't help with this. Is there a way to turn this off that I'm missing?
  4. Indeed, this is a feature I've been waiting for for a long time. As mentioned, you see it on web pages, these "quick jump" sections. I also know about the TOC note with links to other notes, but I don't want to have to skip and jump around all over the place. That can quickly become distracting, and one of the points of Evernote is to increase productivity.
