I’ve been getting inconsistent results when capturing the same page from DT3 or DTTG. The inconsistency is in all formats both apps support: Web Archive & Markdown, each with or without the clutter-free option.
I’ll use this wikipedia page as an example.
DTTG clutter-free capture (markdown & web archive):
- text skips the introduction, capturing only from the first main section
- misses most of the formatting on the page
- most links are not captured
DT3 clutter-free capture (markdown & web archive):
- captures all of the text of the page
- captures more of the text formatting
- most links are not captured
Capturing full web archives works more as expected, though DTTG captures a mobile-rendered page and DT3 captures a desktop-rendered page. It would be nice if there was a way to make this consistent if desired, allowing the two apps to operate as a single capture system rather than satellites of each other.
As I understand it, clutter-free is processed by a server run by DEVONtech, so the inconsistent behaviour seems strange. Either way, these bugs make it difficult to rely on the clipper (and therefore DEVONthink) as a reliable way to capture information.
