The parsing of cards is erratic. If i put a url, but then remove, its like it doesn’t parse anymore, and then the card just appears broken.
Here’s a video: bugs in kinopio.mov - Google Drive
I couldn’t properly reproduce with these steps. How was the initial card in your video created, because it appeared to have an empty preview before you even pasted into it.
When I follow these steps:
- copy a card share url
- open another space
- click to create a new card
- paste in the card share url
- observed that the card url preview appears as expected
- then open that card again and remove the url from it
- observe that the url preview disappears because the url is no longer present in the card as expected
I recorded a video: Video Message: Testing Card Creation and Parsing | Loom
it just seems like you aren’t parsing cards again, you’re like caching a state or something. you should just find all instances of a card and show them and then if the card is edited then parse it again?
I guess the question is, how often are you linking to a card and then deciding, in that same card, to change the card you are linking to…? Seems like a rare occurence to me…
I do it enough that this bug keeps me from using the tool. It makes it so I have to have a clear idea of what I want to do ahead of time when in reality I rarely have an idea fully fleshed out
I’m still a pretty new user and ran into it pretty quickly and I don’t think I’m miss using this tool
That’s fair. That’s why I asked the question. If the dev knows how often people are actually running into the issue, it’ll help with prioritization.
fixed: changing card or web urls in card updates the url preview.
Cards still only support one url preview at a time
(that’s a much bigger project outside of the scope of this issue)
