[SOLVED] [11.6/Calendar] URL turned into HTML

[littlebigman]

Hello,

This regression bug creeped in a couple of releases ago: URLs in the text section of appointments are turned into HTML at some point (after a sync? Don't know).

Cheers,

Thanks for notifying us about this. What type of synchronization are you using?

[littlebigman]

Through USB tethering

Thanks, will you be able to reproduce this issue using the latest versions of Windows EPIM (11.6.5) and Android EPIM (6.0.13)?

Found the cause after migrating from 32-bit Windows to 64-bit: Notes in Tasks have clickable URLs. Considering the number of people still running Win32… I assume you're no longer testing it on old Windows.

So the solution is to bite the bullet and spend the days required to migrate your computer to the modern age.

Thank you.

Still experiencing this in 11.8.3 on Windows10 64-bit in some calendar appointments — but not all; at this point, I can't tell what makes the difference.

In the meantime, a small Python script to turn the unwanted HTML into plain links :-p

Code: Select all

import pyperclip
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

# get the clipboard MAKE SURE IT CONTAINS RELEVANT DATA!
soup = BeautifulSoup(pyperclip.paste(),features="lxml")

output = ""
for item in soup.find_all('a'):
  output += item.text
  print(item.text,end='')

#copy cleaned input into clipboard
pyperclip.copy(output)
