Incorrect formatting of URL hyperlinks in imported TXT files.

Post by nocar »

16 months ago I posted this item in the forum: viewtopic.php?t=8194 .

I received no reply and unfortunately the problem persists. I import lots of plain text files into MyInfo. Those plain text files contain URL hyperlinks. Once imported, the URL hyperlinks always appear as Arial 10-point font no matter what I have set as my normal font or my link font in the MyInfo note. I have to alter every imported URL by hand to get it to match the font of the rest of the note.

As I asked 16 months ago, "Is there, or will there be, a solution?"

And does anyone else experience this issue with imported plains text files.

Thanks. -- George

George, there is no such option yet. Did you try changing the Link style in the notebook to match your desired formatting for links?

Petko, yes, I did change the Styles Link font and size.

In Format > Styles > Link, I changed to my desired font and size. The Styles preview pane shows the Link font and size I want. However, when I import a plain text file or drag-and-drop a plain text file that contains URL address link, that link reverts to Arial 10-point font in the MyInfo note editor. I have to manually correct the font and its size to match the rest of my note.

I can confirm the issue
Menu -> Tools -> Options -> Display -> Note Editor Appearance -> Pick some font, not Arial 10
Menu -> Format -> Styles -> Link -> Fontbox Empty (so inherited)
Drag an TXT with an URL into tree of MyInfo

The URL remains Arial 10
