Hd Snipping Tool
Kenneth
The title says it all. I customized different keyboard shortcuts. But every single shortcut config still keeps bringing up windows snipping tool. This is Windows 11. Is this a known bug? Are there any workarounds?
This is true. It arose because Microsoft changed things when it released Windows 11. So the problem is with Microsoft rather than Evernote. I'm sure that there could be some work done by Evernote to resolve the issue but since the workaround is trivial I anticipate that it will be sometime in arriving.
Meanwhile, I recommend Win+Shift+S which will open the Windows snipping tool with the cross hairs (just like the Evernote process used to have). Highlight the screen area you wish to snip. Then open the note where you want this to be captured (if it is a new note tap Ctrl+N) and tap Ctrl+V to paste the clip into the note.
To make things a bit less hassle I reset the New Note shortcut to Ctrl+Alt+N. Ctrl+N often launches a new window for whichever application has focus so doesn't always open a new note in Evernote unless Evernote has focus. Ctrl+Alt+N usually work regardless...
Ive withheld upgrading to the latest Evernote for years because of how I used evernote in my workflow, I upgraded earlier today and now my Evernote screenshots wont work on Win11 and it has becomes a sort of muscle memory for me to take screenshots using Evernote for around decade. Now it doesn't work =/
Use the Windows snipper (Win+Shift+S), capture the screen area and paste into a new note. If you wish, make the Windows screen capture directory an Evernpte Import Folder and then Win+Shift+S will work exactly as the Evernote screen capture previously did.
I would hardly call the original workaround "trivial." It is three keystrokes instead of one. But this last tip is brilliant and works well enough: add the Windows screen capture directory (C:\Users[User Name]\Pictures\Screenshots) as an Evernote Import Folder. Thank you agsteele!
Maybe it's gone in Windows 10, but in Win7 the OS offers a utility called "Snipping Tool" that allows you to select an area of the screen, take a screenshot, draw on it if desired, and then save it as a file or copy it to the clipboard for pasting into other programs. I use it all the time. I find that I can paste from it into Evernote as usual.
@Mason111, welcome to the forums. What version of Windows and what version of the Evernote program are you using? When did this quit working? If it was just very recently, try closing Evernote completely (File menu > Exit; the red X box only closes the interface) and then restarting it. Or close it from the Task Manager. That should clear any faults hanging around in memory, and hopefully restore the function. If not, perhaps a reboot of the computer.
Found it in Windows 10, Shift+Win+S. Honestly never really looked for it as I mostly use my EN Screen Capture hot key, with and without Ctrl+. Good thing about this learning is Shift+Win+S can be used to screen cap some of the EN menus which block EN hot key usage. Another tool in the pack.
In truth I don't often clip (partial) screen captures to Evernote, for whatever reason. But I do use the Snipping Tool for other purposes. It's pretty hand in its way. It was introduced in Vista, which I skipped, and I remember being happy to discover it when it first appeared.
@Dave-in-Decatur I am using Windows 10 Home and the I'm using evernote basic out of my web browser. The problem started just after Evernote made their latest update I believe. Have tried closing out of the web browser many times and even restarting my computer. I downloaded the app/program for Windows and I don't have a problem pasting from the snipping tool there, but the app lack capabilities such as expanding the note across the entire screen so that it can be used on half of the screen effectively, etc.
OK, thanks. This is actually the forum for the Windows desktop program, so that's what I was assuming. Which version of Evernote for the Web are you using (and in what browser? I just tested, using the Evernote Web client beta with Opera as the browser, and a clip from the Snipping Tool pasted just fine. But then I went back to the older version of Evernote, and it was just as you said: pasting from the S.T. failed, either with Ctrl+V or right-click and Paste. Pasting a different image from the Web succeeded though.
If you're using the older version of Evernote Web, your initial will be in the lower left of the page. Click that to get the account menu, and choose "Switch to the New Evernote Web." There are a lot of differences between the two in appearance and in functionality, so it'll take a minute to get used to; and of course you can always go back to the older version. If you're already using the Web beta, your initial and account menu will be in the top left--and in that case, I'm stumped.
The reason: I cannot find a way to easily snip and paste into Evernote from other applications....like Teams, or PDFs, or powerpoint. I use this all the time.....Evernote now seems focused on snipping from the Browser. There is a guide online that says "use the Evernote to cut and paste screen shots" but it doesn't seem to work....the cursor is supposed to change shape or something.....
I have the same problem, but not using snipping tool. In fact, it happens almost each time I change windows. I mean : I am drawing in Aseprite (using any tool), then I browse some websites with Firefox => when I come back to Aseprite : no mouse pointer. Sometimes I can see the pointer lagging 15 sec then vanishing.
I was able to reproduce the bug (even the pointer lagging) just one time doing some random stuff with pointers/pens (wacom + windows stylus). Now I need to understand the exact steps that reproduce the issue, but at least now I know that I might be able to reproduce the problem in my PC.
I re-installed aseprite and my wacom drivers, the problem still remains, BUT this time if I press alt+tab 2 or 3 times (which means: go to other tabs for a while) and return to aseprite, my tools start working again
So I went to the Wacom driver webpage and saw 6.3.27-2 was the last one. I installed it, and now the mouse pointer disappears way less than before, and like @Nabuco if I press alt+tab 2-3 times everything works again.
I just bought the program yesterday and this has been happening to me all the way, I hvent been able to use it, since I have to chat usually with my clients and is super frustrating. I use an old bamboo tablet,
what might be the solution?
the location of the snipping tool program is %windir%\systems32\SnippingTool.exe
I created a shortcut on the Public Desktop
so I wondering if this is a error with the search function and reindexing
I have worked on a HHUUGGEE number of Windows servers and desktop over my career and rarely have the search function not worked. When it did not work it was matter of re-indexing or enabling the service.
I got rid of Cortana for security reasons but I just click "all apps" scroll down to "windows accessories" scroll down to "snipping tool". I would drag it to the task bar for future 1 click access. I was surprised by how much I use it.
I've been using the Snipping Tool on Windows 11, but I find it quite hard to use. In addition, it lacks the editing features I need. I'm looking for recommendations for alternative screenshot tools that are user-friendly and come with robust editing capabilities. Ideally, the alternative should offer features such as:
SnipTaker. Take screenshot + edit screenshot + screen recording in one place. If you need advance image editing feature after taking screenshot, then this is the best option to try out. Below is the step by step tutorial you can check out:
I recently tried using the built-in Snipping Tool on Windows 11 to take screenshots of some lengthy tech blog posts, and I've got to say, it was a letdown. The tool just doesn't support scrolling screenshots, which is a major oversight in functionality for anyone trying to capture more than what's visible on the screen.
The process of trying to manually capture multiple sections of a webpage and then stitching them together is just tedious and time-consuming. It defeats the purpose of having a quick and efficient screenshot tool. Plus, there's always the issue of not getting the alignments right, which just looks sloppy.
Regarding the use of screenshot tools, I personally prefer to use the one that comes with my system. Although this tool lacks some of the advanced features of other professional screen capture software, it's easy to use and comes with the operating system, so when I need to take a quick screenshot, it's always at hand. But to be honest, the system's own cropping function is really a bit weak, sometimes quite a headache ...... haha!
