  1. Worse than just not clipping, my Android is currently clogged up with a "clipping" in progress which prevents me from getting on with other work—since I can find no way of abandoning the clipping while it is in progress. It seems I have to wait until the message gets through to the apps brain that it is on a fool's errand and it gives up. Then I can delete the note. I don't expect anyone to solve the clipping problem (the only current solution is cut and paste any article you need to clip, first the article itself, then the headlines etc) but how do you force a clipping in progress to stop?!! Thanks all James from Ireland ps What does it tell us about the Evernote organisation that this problem still persists after five years? What does it tell us that users are required to laboriously do the work of quoting URLs etc and reproducing the problem when the problem is flagrantly obvious, not just when clipping from the NY Times, but (in my experience) The Guardian and Bloomberg? Doubtless many other sites too.
  2. "Clip failed" error on Android for "Clip Full Article" Across several news articles, similar clipping problem here. Android Chrome to Evernote has been in "clipping" mode for four hours now. As suggested below I will try Safari, it may be a Chrome update problem James
  3. Does anyone here clip examples of societal pathologies? IE stories and data to document the extent of current societal problems in the Civilised West? If so, you will indeed need to create tags on the fly—I have a notebook overflowing with such horrific info. So many and various are these pathologies that tagging with just ‘pathology’ is no good. I need to tag each story with a particular descriptive type of pathology or common misfortune. So I can sort out what I have into sets and sub-sets for future analysis. In no particular order, I have tags labelled drugs pathology, anxiety pathology, body image pathology, eating pathology, poverty pathology, ideology pathology, politics pathology, PR pathology and so on. And so on. And so on... It is REALLY annoying that when on iPad I have to car park so many clips, for subsequent tagging once I am back on my laptop. It causes me to get irritated with Evernote and wish a genie would come down and whisk my notes into a less clunky sensible app, one that understands what researchers do. And yes, by the way, I also collect examples of what I call “remedies”—remedies that brave people are innovating, often with not much support from the rest of us, and/or remedies that I rescue from the oblivion of history, or perhaps from cultures that are far distant. For example, as a remedy for our current “leadership pathology” I would recommend you read Victor Turner about how the Ndembu of West Africa initiate their new leaders and get them to clean up their act, working for the whole tribe now, not themselves. So... yes please. Tags on the fly, it’s so obvious the need for any social, political or historical researcher!
