  • Tags are separated by spaces, not commas.
  • Capture sends tags as typed and does not validate them.

Troubleshooting

  • If tags are split wrongly, check the spaces between them.
  • If GoodLinks opens for review instead of saving, turn on Save without editing.
  • If Capture shows “Couldn’t open GoodLinks”, install GoodLinks on this device.
