Original post below. ======================================= Today I am happy to announce the release of Quick Clip 0.2. If you've been following along with Quick Clip's development, you'll know that I've been actively working to make it more robust and user friendly. If you are unfamiliar with Quick Clip, here's a brief rundown: Quick Clip is a statusbar plugin for the Nokia Internet Talets and maemo operating system that easily allows you to save off text data. Whether the text be something you want to jot down, or contained in a webpage, Quick Clip automates the whole process. It just takes a couple of clicks to save off a peice of information. And best of all, with Quick Clip's easy to use interface and easy data categorization ability, you'll never misplace that information you wanted to save. That said, there are quite a few new features in this release:

Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
Haven't played around yet except a quick couple o' clips, but it installed fine and so far seems fine. Thanks again for a really valuable program. (I use it already all the time.)

Quick Clip focuses on data retrieval and permanent storage, while that was more advanced clipboard functionality. Definitely interesting article, though, I'll certainly consider some of the suggestions. |
Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
For those of you wondering why the help document wasn't updated, there's a reason: I'm going to try to integrate the help into hilldon-help, instead of the launchable pdf like now. Not only will this cut down on install size, but it'll allow context-sensitive help to be easily accessible via a little '?' in the upper right of each dialog. I'm just hoping I can get it to work in Python (the documentation is in C)...
This'll be released in the .21 update in a few days. |
Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
...and when might we expect to see it in Maemo Extras (and/or Extras-devel) ? ;)

Second route I could go is using Khertan's Py2deb...But I hear you can't use postinst/preinst scripts w/ that, and my program needs those to install properly. There are a lot of questions involving uploading to extras, so I definitely need to do a lot more research (I still don't understand the whole process). On the plus side I see the "debmaster" position has been filled, so I may have help. |

Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
this is a great program, almost indispensable
One small thing: I think the icon does not fit into the style of the other status bar icons. They are all very plain, geometric designs. Quickclip's color and "realistic" picture is jarring IMHO. |

If you see the colors I used were white and red, and those colors are already present in the default icons. I can't help it the Nokia default icons are bland and boring, lol. |
Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
After a longer-than-expected wait, Quick Clip version 0.3.0 is available for download. New things in this version include a much improved help system (now integrated with hildon-help), and a builtin Quick Clip Viewer. Here is the full changelog:
* Switched to hildon.banner for information/warnings/errors * Now has Open button in settings dialog for easy file navigation * Now uses hildon-help for builtin help * Simplified About Dialog * Added Donations sub menuitem * Initial release of Quick Clip Viewer (beta) * Now packaged with dpkg-buildpackage You can download the new version from my website here. |
Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
Very much looking forward to checking it out. Thanks!
Maybe you should start a new thread with this announcement. Since QC is not in Extras (is it?), many will not know about this new release unless their apps RSS feed shows a new thread. |
Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
the viewer seems to indeed be beta, as i cant get it to launch...

If that doesn't work, try "python /usr/bin/quickclip_viewer.py /path/to/a/clipping/file.txt" in the terminal and post what it says. Thanks. |
Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
no module named mokoui...
|
Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
there may also be a issue with opening files, with spaces or similar in its name, from the menu. however it works fine from the terminal.
oh, and the rebound from scrolling the document to the top seems to send it scrolling all the way to the bottom and then rebounding from there, scrolling it part way up again. i would suggest cutting down on these special effects ;) |

Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
The icon's more of a fuller bodied bitmap than the usual line-art but it's a cool design and also lets me place it in between two more normal transparent ones showing the rough boundaries of the three icons at a glance allowing for a quick click on any one of them. I also place the most used icon, Advanced Backlight, at the end of the row in mid-screen for quick access and in actual reality app-update is the last when it pops up.

Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
ah, just found the switch for the viewer scrolling.
still, i could have sworn there was a non-moko implementation of kinetic scrolling out there for python... also, the viewer makes quickclip 10 times more useful. nothing like being able to use it as a backup for a long text entry, or a scratch pad for urls :) and yes, now spaced file names work. |
Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
For Brits who want to be able to use the help, do as root:
ln -s /usr/share/osso-help/en_US/quickclip.xml /usr/share/osso-help/en_GB/ |

Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
two other options is to wrap the whole path in " " or to write the first part and hit tab ;) (that should result in something similar to brentdc's example)

Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
Chinook compatibility problems:
1) python-mokoui and libmokoui2-0 only in diablo repos 2) libmokoui2-0 depends on libglib2.0-0 (>=2.12.12-1osso10) but chinook repos go up to osso9 :( |

Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
I'd like to change the preferences so that leafpad is the edit program.
What should I place in the preferences dialog box - the default setting is incomprehensible to my limited knowledge. And thanks for a most useful program. |

Code:
leafpad "%s" Just of note, if you click the '?' button in the top-right of the settings dialog, the help specific to that dialog comes up. In there there are a few examples of the syntax required to launch programs, one of which is leafpad. |
Re: Quick Clip 0.2 Released!
BTW, are there any features anyone wants to see added to Quick Clip Viewer? I think mapping the +/- hardware keys to change font size, and a nice find/search implementation is next on the list...but anything else?
