See the bottom of this post for the newest release (.12)

============================================

Today I would like to announce a beta-release of a statusbar plugin I've been working on: Quick Clip. Quick Clip allows you to select text in any application, and "clip" that text into a predefined file for later reference.

The main goal of Quick Clip is to create an easy interface to do something that usually isn't very easy: take text from any application and store it on a local file for later access. Usually this would involve opening some sort of text-editor, copying the text you want to save into it, and saving this data off into a file. You would then have to save this file with some arbitrary name into, what for many users was, a soon-to-be forgotten place.

But not any more.

Quick Clip automates this whole process requiring only two clicks to clip a piece of text instead of 20 clicks like before.

Since Quick Clip is just a beta application, it has not been uploaded to Maemo Extras (yet), so you will have to satisfy its dependency's manually. It depends on:

python2.5
python2.5-hildon
python2.5-gtk2
python2.5-hildondesktop
hildon-desktop-python-loader

If you have the Maemo Extras Repository enabled, this will install these dependency's:

Run in the Terminal, as root:


Now you can install Quick Clip like any other application; just download the .deb file, available here.
