Unable to clip from Safari

DEVONthink
21

Not on the MacBook 14.4, no.
Desktop is 14.3.1 and works now.

Could this prompt be clarified? The text

Check DEVONthink has rights to access the web browser and that the active tab
has a URL.

doesn’t actually tell the user where to look, or that they need to look in the System Settings rather than DT’s app settings. An explicit instruction to check ‘System Settings > Privacy & Security > …’ would be helpful.

Also, while I was anticipating @cgrunenberg’s explanation would be correct, DT already had automation privileges enabled for Finder and Safari. Enabling Full Disk Access, as @BLUEFROG suggested, seems to have resolved the issue.

On a related note, this thread from a few years ago mentions that the Services menu was at one time preferred to using the Sorter, but that Safari 14’s support for services is broken. DT’s options aren’t present under ‘Safari > Services’ in 17.3.1, so I gather Apple still has not attended to this bug?

I’m not sure what all that means, but it still doesn’t work.

24

Anybody got any ideas on this? It still doesn’t work.

I’ve had this problem/error arise for the first time today. Full Disk access and automation both enabled. In Safari Settings, Extensions, the extension is enabled, and “allow” is set for all websites.

Using the share sheet does work to clip from the active Safari tab, but the menubar icon fails with the “Unable to Clip” error.

26

What is the URL? The source web site could be the issue. also, what version of DEVONthink and macOS?

DT 3.9.6, Mac OS 14.5, URL, and restarting the computer a second time has resolved the issue. Thanks.
