Import improvements
I had come back to this plugin after a long break of not using it and was pleased to see it had improved. However, I could not get the web-clips to import without using commands directly within the command pallet.
Advanced Clips
I started by fixing a lot of asynchronous functions that were being called without being awaited, potentially messing with the flow of execution. I also changed some of the structure.
Additionally, I added in some extra variables which can be extracted from the constructed link.
These updates are especially convenient for those who do not use daily notes or periodic notes. It now allows me to simply click the button and import the data to my specified "Advanced" setting directory, always within the file which is named after the base URL of the specified website.
Highlights
I also could not get highlights to be included with any web clips. This feature indirectly smoothed out and works well with the advanced imports.
Conclusion
You'll see I also adjusted the structure of the imported data; that was also working very finicky. Everything formats quite nicely in my opinion with my updates, but that's personal preference.
I am now successfully importing data very quickly on both Safari and Chrome on MacOS by simply dragging the bookmark link (from the plugin "Browser" settings tab) over to the Chrome/Safari bookmark area. No special installation is required for Chrome on my end.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks for making this plugin!
