Would it be possible to disable the preview loading of web content completely?
Sometimes I store links in DT, and navigating my inbox triggers loading of these sites. This loading makes no sense because it takes long and shows no useful information, just a couple of layers of cookie consent. I figured that I can disable JavaScript in the Settings, which makes most web pages non-functional and goes half way, but I would love the option to completely disable any preview of remote content.
I would be completely happy if there was just no preview for a web location stored in DT, or maybe the preview should be just a clickable version that opens the link in the default browser.
Yes, that would be an option, but I do like my previews of text files, tables, well pretty much anything locally. In the Inbox all sorts of files appear.
Just curious but in which scenario do you select a bookmark but donāt want to preview it? Or what exactly do you want to do with the bookmark after selecting it?
My Inbox is full of stuff and I might use arrow keys to navigate the list, passing over a bookmark.
Or I may want to process that bookmark. I know exactly where I want to send it, with āSee also & Classifyā. Then I select it, and the loading of the preview slows me down because itās visually disturbing and slows the computer down because itās heavy.
Iād like to support this feature request too. I have a similar use case in that I often move the cursor down with the keyboard and, as it passes over a URL link, it will load the content automatically. As these are, in my case, frequently links to YouTube, this can be quite annoying.
It seems like DEVONthink 4 does not yet contain such an option? I disabled plugins, javascript and even images by means of the settings. Itās relatively fast now to pass over the links, but I would still prefer if the preview of a link could just be the link printed in bold face or a button to load the page from the web, something like that. Anything that does not contact the Internet when making the preview would be great.
I havenāt installed the beta, so I canāt confirm. But Iām pretty sure I saw some screenshots in the forum with that disabled, working as described.
Oh. Iāve not seen that setting there. I tried and it does exactly what I suggested above: Replace the actual preview with a button to load the preview from the web. Fantastic!!!
BTW, I wanted to check out the new manual, but in the end I only stored it in DT for reading ālaterā.
Iām in no hurry, so I havenāt read that much yet I could just swear I saw a screenshot like thatā¦ (I noticed because Iāve also wished for something like this). Couldnāt remember where, but it was quick to look it up in the manual
