Hi there—using the share sheet in Mobile Safari, and having a couple issues with creating bookmarks. Using latest DTTG 2.7.6 in iOS 13.3
- I can’t seem to edit the description of a bookmark
- For logged-in sites such as Twitter, the title of the bookmark initially shows the correct title of the page, but then switches to something generic like “Twitter” so I have to edit it again manually, which is time consuming and difficult as I can’t see the page
- When I select some text on the page, the option to create a bookmark is not presented. The text is (helpfully!) copied into the body of the text note, but I’d also appreciate the option to create a bookmark with a custom description
Am I doing something wrong here? Or are these limitations of DTTG at the moment?
To answer your questions:
- The description is not currently editable in the share sheet
- I haven’t been able to reproduce this however will look in to it.
- If you select and share text in Safari only the text is shared with the share sheet and not the url. Unfortunately there isn’t a way for us to access the url either hence the only option is to provide the text in a text note.
There are two ways to share selected text. The first has the limitation you mention of no URL—i.e. select text and use the share pop-up = no URL.
However, if I select text on the page and then use the share button at the bottom of the Mobile Safari interface, it has both the URL and the text included—but when I then choose DEVONthink, my only options are for text notes and not a bookmark. When I create a text note it includes the URL in the URL field of the item.
