Hi, I'm trying to clip part of an article from Lifehacker, and Firefox seems to be challenged by the content that I'm trying to clip. I thought I'd try with Chrome, but there doesn't appear to be an option to clip a selection. Is my Web Clipper broken (I have the latest version), or does Evernote not support clipping by selection on Chome? If not, why not? ...thanks!

Thank you! When I searched through the forum, I didn't find it!

Hi, I'm trying to create a new note in Evernote Android to include an image. I've done this lots of times in the past, but for some reason, it's not working now. I'm using Evernote 8.9 for Android on a Samsung Galaxy S7 with all updates (Android 8.0.0). To create the note, I open Evernote and tap the green (+) button, then choose the camera icon. The camera activates and the flash turns on. I rotate the phone 90 degrees because it's a landscape document. I align the image in the display and Evernote captures it automatically. There's a green check mark and a thumbnail of the image. I've tried two paths with this: 1. I tap the check mark and I get to the screen where I enter the note title; I also choose the folder where I want to save it -or- 2. I tap the thumbnail and view the image, then tap "Save." It takes me to the screen where I enter the note title; I also choose the folder where I want to save it I tap the check mark at the top left of the screen. Evernote goes back to the note list, and I see the note I created, but there's no image of the document. I can do this on my iPad, but it doesn't seem to work on my phone. What am I doing wrong? ...thanks!

I'm trying to set up 2FA on the web to use Google Authenticator, and it appears that text message is the only option:

Hi, The Web Clipper on Firefox was updated, and Firefox on my computer applied the update recently--Version: 6.12.1.1 (48bcd17/1.1.0.926). Tonight, when I clipped some content, I discovered that the web clipper settings had changed. In particular, both Related results [ ] Show Evernote content related to my web searches. PDF page button [ ] Show Save to Evernote button on PDF pages. were turned on. I've always kept them off because otherwise, they hinder my work. I turned both off and saved my settings. However, even with the settings off, every time I clip content from the web, the clipper shows me related content. 1. How do I make this stop? 2. In future, can you please stop resetting the settings? I don't know if it's relevant, but the MozLog shows many instances of this warning: 01:44:36 GMT-0700 (Pacific Standard Time) (WARN) moz-extension://335745b1-36aa-4ea5-99f1-0c074bbe9bc7/background.html: chrome tabs query did not return a result while changing window focus /n01:44:46 GMT-0700 (Pacific Standard Time) (WARN) moz-extension://335745b1-36aa-4ea5-99f1-0c074bbe9bc7/background.html: chrome tabs query did not return a result while changing window focus /n01:45:14 GMT-0700 (Pacific Standard Time) (WARN) moz-extension://335745b1-36aa-4ea5-99f1-0c074bbe9bc7/background.html: chrome tabs query did not return a result while changing window focus /n01:45:27 GMT-0700 (Pacific Standard Time) (WARN) moz-extension://335745b1-36aa-4ea5-99f1-0c074bbe9bc7/background.html: chrome tabs query did not return a result while changing window focus /n01:45:46 GMT-0700 (Pacific Standard Time) (WARN) moz-extension://335745b1-36aa-4ea5-99f1-0c074bbe9bc7/background.html: chrome tabs query did not return a result while changing window focus ...thanks!

I agree--this is over the top. Last week, Evernote kept making me confirm my email address. First, it put an alert on my Android phone. Then, when I opened the app on my iPad a few hours later, it made me do it again. Next, when I opened Evernote for Windows (a few days later), I had to confirm it AGAIN. Why isn't one confirmation sufficient? And why does this have to be done every few months? Do people really abandon their email addresses that frequently? Also, does the confirmation on the Android really have to activate the notification bar? That should be used only for things that require immediate attention. Other than email and text messages, I don't need, nor want, want apps constantly trying to make me do something by putting alerts on my notification bar. When they do, my notification bar fills up, and then I miss the truly important stuff. As far as confirming my email address, why not just send an email to the email address to have me click a link? If I don't click within a few days, then annoy me with popups in ONE of the apps (not all of them).

This applies to Firefox and Chrome under Windows 7, and maybe more? I use a different password for every site/service, so I use KeePass to manage my passwords. KeePass has a nifty feature where I can press Ctrl+V to "paste" the user ID and password into a sign-in dialog box. Unfortunately, the Evernote web clipper sign-in dialog box disappears if I switch to another window, such as KeePass. This means that I have to copy the password from KeePass (into the clipboard), then in the browser, I click the clipper icon, and when the sign-in dialog opens, I have to manually type the user ID and then paste the password. Please update the web clipper sign-in so that it doesn't go away when I alt-tab between windows so I can activate KeePass. ...thanks!

I like the Context feature with the information at the end of the note, but I don't like the pop-ups. I reported this to Support, who told me that for now, one has to disable Context to stop the pop-ups. I was also told, "A future version of Evernote will allow disabling the popups while keeping the related notes section, please make sure you download and install the update when prompted." However, a subsequent inquiry indicated there's no target date for releasing the update.

I'd prefer PDFs for single pages. If I want a JPG, I'll use the camera function to capture it.

+1 Yes, give us a way to "dismiss" the pop-ups once we've determined what we want to do with the context information. Maybe an [X] box at the top right of the bubble?

Actually, my request was to revert to the old clipper functionality (which still happens with the clipper in Thunderbird 8.0). After selecting a portion of a web page, I'd click on the Evernote button on my toolbar. That would pop up a dialog box (regardless whether the desktop client is open) that allowed me to enter tags, choose a notebook, or even add a small amount of additional text to the clipped content. The current T-bird clipper only allows sending the content to the web, while the previous Ffox clipper allowed sending either to the web or desktop.

I don't use a Mac, either, but on the PC, there's an option in the most current release version of the Windows client clipping preferences: "Do not show the 'New Clip' dialog." I have it unchecked.

But isn't the pop-up a feature of the clipper, not the browser? I just triple-checked my clipping preferences in the desktop (4.5.1.5432 (194665) Public). I have "Clip Destination" set to "Specify Clip Destination," and under "Clipping Options," both "Keep only the basic formatting" and "Do not show the 'New Clip' dialog" are unchecked.

I've loaded the beta extension on FFox 8.0, and it seems to be working. I'm still seeing the behavior I reported earlier in this thread. In the past, when I selected part of a page and then clicked the Evernote icon to clip, I would then get a dialog box that gave me an opportunity to enter tags and choose the notebook where I wanted the clip to be sent. Now, the clip occurs and is sent directly to Evernote (desktop) without any chance to set tags, and I have to switch over to Evernote desktop to enter the tags (and move to other notebooks, if needed). Can we get the old functionality back?

I'm not sure if this is a web clipper problem, or an Evernote Desktop problem. I now have Desktop 4.5.1.5432 installed. I also have FF Web Clipper Beta 5.0.0.204582. After selecting some text, I click the Evernote button on my toolbar. I see a box in the bottom right corner stating "Processing clipped data" (or something like that), followed by "Notes added: 1." I used to get a dialog box where I could enter tags, some additional notes, etc. I've looked through the options on the Web Clipper extension, as well as the Desktop's Tools > Clipping Preferences, and I can't find anyway to restore the previous behavior. How do I accomplish that? ...thanks!
