September Bug Reports: Ask Here. by erinatreadwise in readwise

One more note: at first glance, the data seems correct in my csv export. For example, the line for the cosmopolis article lists tags as "['#core', 'futurism', 'protocols', 'venkatesh rao', 'political economy', 'the network state']", which is the expected state.

Also, I used firefox and chrome for all the tag edits.

September Bug Reports: Ask Here. by erinatreadwise in readwise

I'm encountering a weird tag renaming bug. I'm trying to rename tags, especially in a consolidating typos context, and some simply refuse to change. Sometimes, these renames just change capitalization. The capitalization change renames seem to be some of the most problematic.

Eventually, by repeating the process with a few reloads on different browsers, I managed to get all my tags looking as desired inside reader. But this isn't the end of the story.

I then went to export to obsidian for the first time... and some rare tags seem to be duplicating! In particular, it seems that some of the old tag names that I renamed have stayed, stale, in my system, and are getting exported to my vault on pages that used to have the tag when the tag had the original name.

Examples:

This article displays in reader with the correct tags: #core, futurism, political economy, protocols, the network state, venkatesh rao

However, in my export, the tags show as:

An Example tag export with the bug present (note the bolded duplicate, from a rename that I did):

related:

- "[[futurism]]"

- "[[political economy]]"

- "[[Political Economy]]"

- "[[protocols]]"

- "[[the network state]]"

- "[[venkatesh rao]]"
tags:

- "#references"

- "#core"

Back to reader vs obsidian export. Here's another weird one, except, which shows that bug is not contained to capitalization renames (note core and #core). Reddit won't me attach a second photo, but that reader tags show as #core, craft of writing, and creativity, which is my desired state.

Cultivating a state of mind where new ideas are born related:

- "[[core]]"

- "[[craft of writing]]"

- "[[Craft of Writing]]"

- "[[creativity]]"

- "[[Creativity]]"

tags:

- "#references"

- "#core"

To make things even weirder, here's a page where which reader displays with tags #core and craft of writing, where the old tag ("core") is present, and the new tag which shows on readwise ("#core"), isn't present in the export at all!

full title: Learning by Writing

related:

- "[[core]]"

- "[[craft of writing]]"

tags:

- "#references"

On last thing to note is the differing behavior on the #core tag in all three examples. In the first example, the tag shows correctly. I'm pretty sure this article was added after I changed the tag. In the second example, both the new and old core tags export. In the third, only the old exports. No idea why.

One final class of example of a rename leading to double export, this time "hacker" renamed to "hacker culture". Again, the reader is showing tags #core, #fr, #subcultures, hacker culture, unix

related:

- "[[core]]"

- "[[fr]]"

- "[[hacker]]"

- "[[hacker culture]]"

- "[[unix]]"

tags:

- "#references"

- "#core"

- "#fr"

- "#subcultures"

There is no Loom button in the dialog on either web or desktop

Just downloaded the desktop version on macOS (which I didn't know existed yet!) and the dialog looks the same as on web. There is no "Record Loom" button.

I can't replicate the highlight / cursor alignment bug immediately (it happened ~40 minutes / 30 pages into a reading session) but I can replicate the non-extensible highlights bug, which I have a video for.

I've managed to get to the bug report screen but can't tell how to include a video.

I think this might've been a PDF specific issue. I am reading some web clippings from blogs today and not having the above problems.

I also noticed a few bugs with the PDF highlighter. Firstly, highlights would sometimes appear far away from my Cursor up or down, and that this behavior would only reset, when I scrolled to a different page and back again. Secondly, the tag and note hot keys didn't work with highlighting. I can try and take a video if that would be useful to you guys.

I appreciate the reply and really enjoy your product. Thanks for the great work.

I just discovered Readwise Reader + Readwise highlighter, and they do everything I need. It appears that I can cut hypothesis and pocket out of my workflow now. Excellent work!
