With the web clipper, would it be possible to highlight some text, click the Joplin web clipper, and have the text and url of the text’s webpage be saved ath the same time. Like evernote?

64

Yes, just select the text and use the button ‘Clip selection’.

Thanks for replying. For some reason, why I clip selection, it only clips the selected text.

I was wondering if it could work like evernote where you select text, and click clip bookmark or something. That way both the url and text are clipped at the same time.

This is more like evernote’s clip selection, which only clips text.

I don't understand. The URL is clipped as well. Click on the info button in the toolbar...

This button: image

Thanks tessus!!!
I see now.

68

btw, when activating the web clipper, is it possible for it to notify me if I already clipped something from that url? Kinda like how if you bookmark something from google, the star outline becomes a golden star?

Not that I am aware of. I'm not sure how complicated it would be to add that to the clipper code.

Is this still planned?

I don’t know what’s happening in my case. I open the desktop app in Windows, and I don’t see “Options” or “Web Clipper Options” anywhere.

I don’t know what’s happening in my case. I open the desktop app in Windows, and I don’t see “Options” or “Web Clipper Options” anywhere. Is 1.0.199 the latest version?

On the top toolbar you can select Tools -> Options, once in the options menu the webclipper is furthest to the right, you can see it in the screenshot below.

Thank you so much! I don't know how I missed it... :upside_down_face:

When clipping the selection, I'm aware that the URL is saved into the note Info, but I would like to see an option to include the URL in a markdown format within the note, for example:

> Clipped Text Goes Here

[Webpage Title](https://example.com/)

Allows for easier access to the URL.

Cheers!
