So far so good with EF over DEVONthink, but I do have a quibble… Sometimes I like to clip from a web article that spans over several pages (and the website, annoyingly, does not have a functioning “print on one page” feature). With DT, I was able to create an RTF file from the first page, then use a keyboard command to append to that same file for each subsequent page. It’s just called Append to RTF. With EF, I needed to capture the RTF on page 1, then copy and paste for each page. A minor annoyance, but it’s a feature I’ve enjoyed with DT.
Thanks for the suggestion. I’m not sure that having an Append command is the route I want to take, but I do intend to provide a way to handle this type of situation.
Yes, at this point you are probably tired of my suggestions. Seriously, as long as you understand the scenario and have an idea of how to solve the problem, that’s all I can ask.
append to RTF
I endorse both comments. I find myself needing to do this fairly often. And, I’m not sure what the elegant solution is. Usually I want to skip a lot of ads and redundant material, for example. (I really appreciate the “convert for editing” command - extremely useful in these situations.)
One wrinkle: When I create a new RTF file to paste into, it seems awkward to convert into an RTFD (ie with pictures). I guess I will learn to use “Create document from copy buffer” command as the first page, which will fix this.
I don’t understand. If you have an RTF file, EagleFiler should let you paste in pictures. If you change the file in such a way that it cannot be saved as RTF, EagleFiler will automatically change it to RTFD.
My situation right now: I’m collecting travel information about a city in Italy from several websites, often only snippets. I don’t want to create a new file for each snippet but collect all of them in one file. Therefore a something like “Append to existing / selected file” in the service menue (or via shortcut) would be cool
