Markdownifier changes item source URL

DEVONthink Tips
#1

Hi, all

I’m having a problem with DEVONthink Pro v. 2.9.11:

I save articles from RSS-feeds as items in DEVONthink for future reference. When the articles “arrive” in DEVONthink, the URL-link to the source of the article is retained. However, if I do anything at all to the article in DEVONthink, the URL is changed from for example:

nytimes.com/….

to:

markdownifier.devontechnologies. … century%2F.

See image here: Skjermbilde 2017-04-30 kl. 22.11.55.png

This behaviour typically happens if I highlight some bits of text, edit the fonts or add an image that the markdownifier-service didn’t get (that is not a big problem).

The workaround is to manually copy and paste in the correct URL, but I would rather it didn’t change the URL in the first place. I’ve also tried to tick the “locked” box in the info panel, but the URL would still change.

I am doing something wrong? Tips and help much appreciated.

This will be fixed in the next maintenance release.

Thank you, just what I wanted to hear :wink:

Hi, Guys!

When opening a record from the list I get from a simple search, the markdownifier-url replaces the actual url. You aware of an issue like this?

What version of DEVONthink are you running?

#6

DEVONthink Pro 2.9.13, macOS 10.12.6

#7

Did you just clip this page or is it possibly an older one? I just tried in Pro 2.9.13 on 10.12.6 and it’s working as expected here.

Made that screenshot right before I posted.

I quit and then restarted DEVONthink and got the same behaviour. I restarted the Mac once I saw your post (quoted above) and that seems to have solved it.

I can’t think of anything I might have done to provoke this behaviour. Any particular things I should document if I experience a similar issue later? To help you find the bug, I mean?

#9

Other than the URL you’re trying to clip, I can’t think of anything else right offhand.

#10

Ok, thanks! :wink:

#11

The web archive was clipped with an older version according to the screenshot, clipping it again should fix this.

#12

Aha, that is good to know. I can lock records clipped before that particular release. Thanks! :wink:
