BTW, last night I requested an invitation to upload to Extras, so once I'm approved, I'll upload this version to Extras. New/Test versions from here on out will be first posted here as a .deb to make sure everything is working, then will be pushed to Extras. :) |

change font size and edit colour underline will be nice, also viewing the text it will be nice to implement a return text entry instead of using the horizontal scrollbar to scroll the long list of text, if it does not give you more unnecessary task, the current state is awesome and thanks for this app, i was having hard time using it but since version 3 i can fully take advantage of the new features. |

As for "edit color underline", I'm not sure what you mean. Text color? Quote:
Thanks. |
Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
The return feature in text editing allows you to fit the text into the window instead of a long line which requires a scrollbar to navigate from one to the other, forgot the exact term for that, like fit to width
text colour simply be able the change the colour |

Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
Thanks yes word wrap i was searching for that, the text colour is not urgent, i am using leafpad to view so word wrap doesn't work that is why i don't see it will change back.

Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
Brent, great job on 0.3! I like the design choices you make so well that I hope Nokia hires you to make the final decisions on the next Tablet UI! You managed to keep everything good about such a useful program and add new, good elements without messifying or detracting from what you had already done.
First off, I love the select-vs.-scroll toggle button on the bottom left. (I wish the Notes app and MicroB had that.) [In GTK, is it impossible to scroll from within the text (as opposed to with the scroll bar)? Scrolling without the scroll bar can be done in MicroB, even though there is no kinetic scrolling. It's not important, but it would be a nice option (so long as the select-vs-scroll toggle worked in GTK like it does in kinetic).] Also, lm2 commented that QC Viewer didn't do kinetic scroll like Tear. I actually prefer the way your kinetic scroll works (at least for Quick Clip Viewer). Tear's seems faster, but it goes into "blur mode," which makes continuous reading more difficult. The way your scrolling works, the text remains readable while in motion. Excellent. D-pad scrolling would be nice, as you've said. Since you already have the font size button icons on the bottom, I don't see the point in adding that functionality to the hardware buttons. (Then again, it wouldn't hurt anything, either.) It seems to me, though, that your work on the viewer screams for it to be more than a viewer -- that is, it seems to me that you might as well add a Paste icon button to go with the Copy button; and, as long as you're at it, the ability to call up the virtual keyboard and enter text. I wouldn't want that if you didn't have the select/scroll toggle, but since you do ... I haven't thought about this much, but some way to export might be nice. And the very simplest way to accomplish that would be to have a Select All capability, whether from an icon button or from a dropdown menu. Then, since it's all just text, Select All followed by Copy would allow for a form of export. (Select All would be a lot easier than manually selecting everything if the file is large.) Finally, you've said you're aiming for a Find function, to which I say Hallelujah! Ideally, Find would be able to work, at user's choice, in a single QC file or across all the QC files; would highlight the character string each time it finds it; would be case-independent (or the user could at least choose that); and could be user-set for Whole-Word-Only or not. BTW, one of the things I really like about the Viewer is that I use it to read things that MicroB and Tear can't fit in a page-width. I used to copy and paste the text into the Notes app and read it there; but with the ability to turn off the Select function, I prefer to do it in QC Viewer. I keep a QC "Temp Reader" file that I use for that purpose; when I'm done reading the article, I just delete everything; and the Temp Reader file is readily available in the Status Bar to be used again. Thanks. |

Another thing that always bothered me was the scroll vs. selection line that most application try to "understand". Like in MicroB, I often find myself scrolling the page when I try to select something and vise-versa. This is when a simple toggle-button is the best, easiest, and most end-user-friendly solution.

Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
I may create a Quick Clip Editor, but that would be much later on once QCV is more complete.
If version 0.3 is not complete then hats down, in fact i want to use this app for cutting and pasting large pages from the web so that i can read later, also to be somewhat a replacement for Doc reader exactly as Evernote does, some ideas can be borrowed from them http://evernote.com/. |
Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
Just as a note, I uploaded Quick Clip to extras-devel yesterday, and, if you have that repository installed on your device, should appear in your installable applications list. I'm going to make a few small changes then push it to Extras. Bleeding edge versions will be available on extras-devel from now on. :)

Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
I have one suggestion to make, I know I can change where quickclip files are stored myself. But wouldn't it be better to store it in /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/quickclip so that way it's easier for people to email it out. Say email their quickclip notes to Evernote?

I would suggest that for people who want to use their clippings outside of Quick Clip, they should change their path. |
Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
One more d-pad request. Different people have different preferences, but I prefer page-by-page scrolling instead of line by line. (I've implemented this in microb using instructions found here.) So might we have two choices in the preferences?
|
Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
A minor suggestion: In QC Viewer, the name of the program plus the path to the file take up so much space that the title bar never quite shows the name of the particular file. Maybe you could abbreviate "Quick Clip Viewer" to "QCV" in the title bar and/or eliminate the path.
Also, I'm sure you'd do it if you could, but it would be nice if Quick Clip Viewer loaded faster. |

It also helps to have swap enabled. |
Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
I just promoted Quick Clip to Maemo-Extras; you all should see it as updatable or installable (if you don't have it installed).
The version is 0.3.1 now, the new release doesn't change anything concerning the program, but more to do with packaging (nicer name in Application manager, reboot warning, etc.). Enjoy. |
Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
Hmm, do you know if there's anyway to get the default file manager to recognize folders with a . in them? If not I guess I'll just change the folder.

Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
I was thinking over the weekend about the probably little-noticed del.icio.us status bar plugin (see also post #8 in that thread). I really like this little thing. But it lacks a crucial element: you can't save text to delicious, just the name at the top of a webpage (e.g, for this page this would be, "Quick Clip 0.2 Released! - Page 7...") and the url of the page (which you highlight before tapping the plugin).
Conversely, the thing I miss the most with QC is the ability to stamp clipped text with the url associated with the page whose text I'm saving. Now, I'm not saying that QC should be integrated with the delicious plugin (although that, if it could be done, would be KILLER!). I'm just wondering if there is any transparent coding in the delicious plugin that could help you add a url stamp to text clipped from a website. Clearly, this would probably only work for microb, as I think I tried the delicious plugin with tear and it didn't work. (It saved the highlighted url, but failed to rip the page's title.) Anyway, just some random thoughts about possible ways of expanding QC's functionality. |
Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
What you're describing is a lot like Tomfox, a Firefox add-on for Tomboy.
"Tomfox is a simple Add-on to Firefox (for Linux only), that allows users of Firefox to select text from a web page, right click to bring up a contextual menu, and with one more click, create a new Tomboy note. This note, once created, will have the name of the web page as the note name, will include a link back to the page at the end of the text, and will include all the text you had highlighted." http://www.associatedcontent.com/art...for_linux.html While we don't have Tomfox for the Tablet, we have Quick Clip and proto-Conboy, which is to be Tomboy for Tablets. http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...d.php?p=276087 So maybe someday ... |

Well, the gtk_application_name is set to the page title (just prefixed with "Web - "), and that is probably attainable somehow. On the other hand, the current page url is probably not broadcast by Microb (that's a guess!) so doing as you suggest is probably impossible, or at least above my abilities. I think the best solution is probably to just clip in the url separately. |

I did notice the other day, however, that it was possible to highlight text on a page in microb AND tap the url field after and have the url highlighted AS WELL. When you do that, though, it looks like the highlighted url is the only "actively" highlighted text. And this is how QC treats it, since if you use QC to clip highlighted, all that you get is the url. Your suggestion to separately highlight the url may have to do, alas. |

I know I could've dragged the normal gtk scrollbar in Tear to go anywhere instantly, but you can switch QCV to gtk scrolling too (but it won't do both). |
Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
I'd like to replicate the test. Can you send the wikip link?

Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!

A possibility would be to sense if both primary and secondary were selected the give a prompt: "What do you want to clip? Primary | Secondary | Both". That's getting fancy, though! ;) |
Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
Perhaps the problem is that tear has both kinetic and gtk and d-pad scrolling at once. Perhaps if QC had all three, the swiftness of the kinetic wouldn't be a big deal. :)
