I installed Hookmark 7 but as soon as I call Hookmark and select an action (copy link, create new note, create new pdf) Hookmark stops reacting. I was able to create a new PDF with Hookmark but afterwards it stopped to work. I could not even active the application window with control-H or the menu item. I had to force quit Hookmark and restart it. But afterwards the problem happens again. I reinstalled Hookmark 6.13 and everything works fine again.

MacOS Tahoe 26.2

Thank you for reporting this issue, @rainerc .

Did this problem only happen after you did “Hook to new PDF…”?

Thank you

Yes, it looks like this happens only after I select “Hook to new PDF” (does not matter if Chrome or Safari is active).

Please try [www.spiegel.de](http://www.spiegel.de).

Same problem now with Hookmark 6.13. No problem at all with several URLs, but reproducible at least with [spiegel.de](http://spiegel.de).

Hookmark works with [http://www.spiegel.de/](http://www.spiegel.de/) page on my Mac. Not sure what make the difference.

Do you have other non-working URLs?

Thank you

Fixed the problem now:

the problem arose with any “hook to new …” command as long as the option “Enable bookmarking to this software” was active for Devonthink (under services).

Now I deactivated this option and Hookmark works seamlessly again as expected.

Hope this helps debugging the problem.
