I just uploaded 0.4.0 to extras-devel, you should see it in a few minutes.

This is like an RC release. Because I changed so much stuff, I need to get a pulse on how everything is working. If everything looks good, I'll create a new thread with an announcement and promote to Extras.

P.S. Make sure to pay careful attention to the installation messages!

Changelog:
* Added Clear submenu item
* Added Delete submenu item
* Switched to XML for target file list storage
* Switched storage location for user files
* Major code cleanup
* QCV: Changed preference warning to bold
* QCV: Added application menu
* QCV: Fixed bug in scrolling choice
* QCV: Added Select All option
* QCV: Added Right/Left buttons for flipping through clippings
* QCV: Added Properties submenu item
* QCV: Added Help menu item
* QCV: Mapped the +/- keys to increase/decrease font size
* QCV: Mapped the Up/Down D-Pad keys to scrolling (only for GTK)
* QCV: Changed Title (more path visible)
* QCV: Added file search capability
* QCV: Major code cleanup

After upgrading to 0.4.0, Quick Clip no longer shows in my status bar.

Here's what I did, exactly:

1. Booted, connected to WLAN. Software Update Notifier informed me of a new third-party app update, which turned out to be Quick Clip.
2. I installed it. Quick Clip 0.3.1 was added to the status bar at the time.
3. After reading the install messages, I decided to just go and delete $HOME/.quickclip after the update finished (didn't have much in it, so a clean jump to the new default storage location seemed fine).
4. Rebooted.
5. Noticed Quick Clip was gone from the status bar.
6. Checked the Control Panel settings, and found Quick Clip to be still checked.
7. Unchecked Quick Clip. Checked it again. Still not showing.

FWIW, I'm running latest Diablo on an N810 and I'm using the LCARS Modern theme (which sadly makes the Quick Clip status bar icon look ugly even if it does show).

The steps you outlined should have resulted in a working Quick Clip; I'll definitely look into it, there is probably a bug somewhere in installation script.

Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks .

Btw, if I may suggest something: With some other status bar applets (I think it was advanced backlight?) I could select between a number of different icons to use on the status bar in their preferences dialogs, one of them fitting in with the LCARS theme. Would you consider adding something like that?

I looked over all the scripts and everything seemed OK. Could you give me the output of:

Code:
ls /home/user/.quickclip/
and:
Code:
ls /home/user/MyDocs/Quick_Clip/
Thanks.

Edit: Uh, I forgot to answer the question. I was already experimenting with changing the icons, and might add that to .0.5. I don't know what the LCARS theme looks like though...

padd:~$ ls /home/user/.quickclip/
parent_files.xml quickclip.conf
padd:~$ ls /home/user/MyDocs/Quick_Clip/
padd:~$ tail -n4 .ash_history
rm -rf .quickclip/
ls /home/user/.quickclip/
ls /home/user/MyDocs/Quick_Clip/
tail -n4 .ash_history
(You can see the 'rm' I did before rebooting after installation.)

There should be a "viewer.conf" in ~/.quickclip/, but that doesn't really explain why Quick Clip won't show up for you.

I just booted into a 'clean' diablo partition (my internal memory, I usually boot from SD), installed QC 0.3.1, removed quickclip's dir like you did, then installed 0.4.0; everything worked fine.

The only thing I can think of is that something went wrong with the installation. Could you please try removing QC then installing via the Terminal. Then post the output. Thanks. (and I'm sorry you're having all these problems).

Will do. Tomorrow, though - 3:30 AM in my time zone, time for bed .

And don't worry about the problems. It's not like I lost any data.

Well, I did what you asked, which resulted in a working Quick Clip. Protocol:
1. Disabled Quick Clip in Control Panel
2. Rebooted
3. Uninstalled it via App Manager
4. Rebooted
5. rm -rf'ed both $HOME/.quickclip and $HOME/MyDocs/Quick_Clip
6. Installed Quick Clip again using apt-get install this time (the original 0.3.1 -> 0.4.0 update I did via App Manager)
7. It appeared on the Status Bar after the installation was done
8. Rebooted anyway, as per the install message
9. It's still there, and working fine now (haven't exactly done any in-depth testing, but at first glance everything's showing up as it's supposed to)

Only error message during installation:
chmod: /home/user/.quickclip/parent_files: No such file or directory

I also have the viewer.conf file now you were mentioning as missing earlier.


Bottom line: Problem solved, but sadly no indication of what caused it in the first place.

Thank you for the detailed reporting. The chmod error during installation is because of a typo in the installation script; I will probably upload a new version later today with a fix to that (but it doesn't hurt anything).

I have no idea what went wrong with the first installation, but am glad it's working for you now!
