I have the same issue. I figured out that if I switch the language to English, it works fine. So the problem may be that the parser cannot parse Chinese strings.

I have the same issue. I figured out that if I switch the language to English, it works fine. So the problem may be that the parser cannot parse Chinese strings.

I can give a simple solution to this -- translate all the location and datetime info in My Clipping.txt to English by brute force. See here for more.

        I guess the original plugin only supports parsing the book info(eg. title and time) in English. If you really need it, I can help to transfer the clipping file to its English format without changing the highlight contents. A Italian example of highlight is needed.
