Quick Clip as a ToDo list
 
I found a new way to use Quick Clip. In "Manage Files" I create new files named "Pay Bills", "Wash Car", etc. Now when I click on the single tab I view all of my reminders. Also, if I click on the reminder such as "Pay Bills", I can click on "Edit" and create the text file that gives further details.

Re: Quick Clip as a ToDo list
 
I'm glad people are finding new uses for Quick Clip; I have been using it as a makeshift ToDo application for a while now.

This was one of the main reasons that in 0.4.0 I added easy-access menu items for Clearing and Deleting files., to accommodate use cases more like these.

Good idea, sounds like a statusbar version of quicknote,
will try it out.

I use the latest version - 0.4.0

Re: Quick Clip as a ToDo list
 
How is 0.4.0 working out? Right now I'm kind of testing the waters with it.

If all is good, I'll be uploading it to extras.

In "Settings" for storage path if you replace the "open" tab with a "brouse" we could quickly point to a folder on our memory card for the default. I had to type in the path.

The Open button should allow you to do that; but I do agree the label of that button should be Browse!

Edit: I just tested that button, and t doesn't work. I'll look into that.

Edit2: It was a bug. I'll be uploading 0.4.1 either tonight or tomorrow with a fix.

I installed quick clip, rebooted the device, but I cannot find in anywhere. How can I access it ?

go to settings -> control panel -> panels -> status bar tab, and check if quick clip has a checkmark next to it.

it could also be that your status bar has to many icons that you got a gray circle with a down arrow in it. that means there are more icons then can fit on screen...

I did this, I saw a check mark but there is no icon on the status bar even when I click on the gray circle pointing to the excess icons. Possibly Quickclip cannot handle when there are too many icons ?

Re: Quick Clip as a ToDo list
 
Hi,

Please try disabling then enabling Quick Clip in the control panel. If that doesn't work, try reinstalling Quick Clip.

A similar problem had occurred to another member here, and a reinstall fixed it.

Re: Quick Clip as a ToDo list
 
I noticed one thing that happened a couple times after installing quick clip. I'm not sure if its the cause or not though. Sometimes when I click on the arrow in the status bar to show the additional icons, the drop down box with the additional icons won't go away. After that I can't click anywhere else on the screen. It's happened to me twice. It may just be that I'm using the status bar drop down box more because I have Quick Clip installed and now I have too many status bar icons.

Has anyone else had this problem? (with or without Quick Clip)

@BrentDC,

Hi, just wondering why the hildon file chooser isn't used to select the folder. Because I like python and haven't gotten to the stage where I'm reading tutorials on it, I'm just hacking the existing python programs for fun :):

And I thought, why not see if I can make it use the HildonFileChooserDialog :)

I have experienced this issue before, but it is not related to Quick Clip (I think it's either a bug in hildon-desktop or one in the statusbar clock applet).

Do you by any chance have Large Statusbar Clock installed too?

When I first designed Quick Clip, I placed user files in ~/.quickclip/data/ and I needed a file browser that could navigate there; now that they are in ~/MyDocs/Quick_Clip/, that is unneeded... so that's mostly just a relic of older versions. :D

I planned on, at some point, changing that, but have just been busy.

Unfortunately I think you might regress looking at my code :( The quickclip_viewer.py is much better, please look at that instead! ;)

Does not help. I uninstalled and reinstalled, rebooted, disabled , enabled it in the control panel, it does not work.
Then I downloaded the .deb package which did not install at all.

Code:
(Reading database ... 17890 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking quickclip (from quickclip_0.3.1-1_all.deb) ...
Updating Quick Clip ...
data dir exists ...
Target files configuration exists ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of quickclip:
 quickclip depends on python-mokoui; however:
  Package python-mokoui is not installed.
dpkg: error processing quickclip (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 quickclip
Should I start a service or something like that ?

Re: Quick Clip as a ToDo list
 
Which OS are you running? I believe python-mokoui is in both Chinook Extras and Diablo Extras (certainly in Diablo, but I believe mikkov uploaded it to Chinook too).

If you are running anything older, then I don't think Quick Clip will work.

I run OS2008 43.7

Re: Quick Clip as a ToDo list
 
43.7 Hmm, is that chinook or diablo? I cannot remember...

Anyways, I just checked chinook extras and extras-devel and python-mokoui doesn't appear to be there.

I do have Large Statusbar Clock installed. I've had that installed for quite a while now, but never experienced this issue until after the Quick Clip installation. Well, good to know Quick Clip isn't the culprit.

How can I install these repos ?

BrentDC 2009-04-28 14:36
Re: Quick Clip as a ToDo list
 
You can try downloading these two files:

http://repository.maemo.org/extras/p...emo2_armel.deb

http://repository.maemo.org/extras/p...emo2_armel.deb

Then use dpkg -i at the command line to install them (or Red Pill in the application manager).

I don't know if it'll work, but you can try.

I tried but it didn't work.
Strange that the application itself installs but does not show up.
