copying web pages - not
Kinook, I'm wondering if there will be a time in-the-not-so- distant-future when UR will have the ability to replicate a current web page when copying into the db, either entire page or a portion, to include graphics, images, etc.
I ask this because I'm wondering if I should/should not be thinking about integrating a 3rd party web capture program w UR. I'd prefer not to, of course. Thank you. |

That works ok here. For instance, I've attached a screen shot of importing part of this forum post from Firefox v2.0.0.4 into UR Pro v3.1.1.

I suppose Janrif meant directly into item text ... or not? I know this is not easy because the underlying file format is rft ... so look forward to times when html items will be editable, and then pasting directly into item text (html page) shouldn't be that hard ... |

Sometimes this works when copying an entire page (depending on whether it is secure, etc) if I paste special | html or copy to UR. The main point/problem for me (& others) is that it is not consistent or maybe I just don't understand the rules. In any case, I don't have confidence & always have to check to see what I got. I believe this process can be improved upon & hope it can be done. Thank you. A loyal UR fan |

When pasting into a Text item in UR, the rich MS edit control will use the RTF format (if available) or text (if not RTF) for pasting. It will never use HTML format even if provided. How well this works depends on the RTF data provided by the source application.
When copy/pasting or drag/dropping into the Data Explorer pane (or when importing via the IE and Firefox toolbars, global import hotkey, system tray, etc.), UR will use HTML format if available (and 'Tools | Options | Import | Prefer text/rich text formats' is unchecked). AFAIK, importing in this fashion usually does a decent job of capturing the selected text, images, and formatting (and keywords, icon, etc.). If it doesn't for you, please ZIP and send or post: 1) The info from Help | About | Install Info 2) Run RegEdit and export the registry key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Kinook Software\Ultra Recall\Options" 3) A .urd file with an item that demonstrates the problem 4) Details on how the item was imported into UR Thanks. |

Kinook, I understand what you wrote but -- not to be difficult -- Look @ the difference between what scrapbook does w/o vs what happens when a user clips different kinds of web pages for deposit into UR.
Even w the options set the way you suggest importing from this forum delivered an RTF output. Had I done that w scrapbook, I would have a true reproduction in about 2 seconds. Same for web research which is IE driven (or Firefox). So I'm sorry, I don't get why this can't be done in UR. Maybe you don't want to spend the development time on this; that's another story. But I figure if someone can develop a FF *extension* that accomplishes the task, Net Snippets before Web Research managed it, Kinook should be able to manage it too. End rant. Sorry. Frustrated in Ridgefield. |

if scrapbook does such a very good job, what about creating a wrapper for it, and just save to UR the html file that scrapbook creates ...

Even if it wasn't directed to me, I'd like to know what a wrapper is. Thanks. |

I selected that part of the page and used the UR Firefox extension's Copy To UR button, but without any selection, that brought in the entire page with correct images and formatting as well.
