I’m new to Scrivener so forgive me if I didn’t do this right, but the following appears to be a bug. I’ve searched back two months of bug reports and didn’t find this reported.
Following instructions from other forum posts, clicking and dragging the web page image next to the link in the address bar to the Research folder should put the page in the folder with the title tag as the name. Two things are happening:
-
The title tag is added to only a few of the web pages after the URL. The domain URL shows in the Research binder but the site shows the root domain name followed by the post title, but inconsistently. I understand that some web pages don’t have a title tag or it isn’t formatted appropriately, but I checked through 25 web pages I saved and they have a properly formatted title tag. So some show the title, some do not.
-
About 40-50% of the many web pages I dragged into the Research binder when clicked show a 404 Page Not Found error. I click on the link at the bottom of the panel, which is correct, and it opens in my browser as a 404 error. I copy the link, paste it in again, and the page appears. Some extra character or something is being put into the saved URL that makes it return a 303. I can’t think of what else it could be.
When I add the web page again, it usually appears. I’ll save the document, do more work, come back to the saved web page and it will work. Later I will return and it gives me a 404 page not found error. I can repeat the issue, but it is inconsistent.
I need to store web pages for offline access, which I’ve read maybe in the coming or next version, but this kind of odd bug makes even saving them online a challenge.
Thanks, and congrats on such an amazingly dedicated support community and bug hunting fools. Fabulous!
