My tablet is mostly used for reading news online. When I do so, and there is a fact that I want to keep track of, QC is great. But often I want to go back to where I got the fact, which is why I want the url.

Seems quite normal to me. ;)
Remember I'm a programmer, my mind works differently. The world is abnormal, I'm the one that's completely average! ;) :rolleyes:

All joking aside, I really do think a prompt would be nice, because a setting is across-the-board. What if, in this specific case, I want it this way and not the way I have it set (the way I normally want QC to behave)? Then I would either have to change the settings (inconvenient) or do the same as my setting has it (unsatisfactory). With a prompt, it is always easily in your control.

I just semi implemented it, and it doesn't work. Secondary is always "None". Either hildon doesn't support two selections (because from the PyGTK reference it seemed to indicate X supports two) or I didn't implement it correctly. I'm leaning towards the former.

After all that!

Just occurred to me: stamping a microb clipping with the webpage's title would be very helpful to me, even if I can't get both the clipping and the url. At least then (most of the time) I'd at least be able to see the source (as most titles these days provide that information).

Any chance of adding that to settings for clip stamps?

I looked into it and couldn't find any python module to do that; the closest I got was some Windows-only code. At this time, that just doesn't seem possible.

In addition, I emailed the developer of the kinetic scrolling widget used in MyTube, etc., and here's his reply:

As they are derived from a gtk.drawingarea and not a container, you
can't directly embed widgets within it.

In fact if you could I doubt you'd be happy with the performance.
Drawing text is extremely slow - if I remember right in that code I'm
pre-generating the labels and bliting the image of the text as it
scrolls instead of drawing the text.

Sorry, I never saw this post. I don't think there is any way for the built-in file-manager to see hidden files, but don't worry, the next version of QC will be placing files in /home/user/MyDocs/Quick_Clip/ by default,, so they'll be easily viewable by all software :)

does the delicious plugin not offer any useful code in that regard?

The problem is, is that plugin is written in C and my applet is in Python. Even if I did find the correct call to get the title of the active window, I couldn't use it in my program (I would need a "python binding" to that call, and I don't think there is any).
