BrentDC, that's a very helpful program, really fills a need for me. Thanks!
To do the dependency installs, I had to put a "2" at the end of "python2.5-gtk" so that it was "python2.5-gtk2". I largely don't know what I'm doing, but XTerm gave me an error about not finding it, and in the Gronmayer.com repositories, when I searched for "python2.5-gtk" it showed repositories with "python2.5-gtk2" instead. So you might want to edit that one line of code in the first post (assuming that what I did was correct; so far so good).
Again, thanks, great app, with a clean, quick, effective interface.

Thanks GeraldKo for spotting that; yes, "python2.5-gtk2" is a dependency of Quick Clip. I updated the first post to reflect this.
I'm so glad you like the program, too!

My QuickClip files are opening in MicroB, even though they are .txt files. When I open .txt files from FileManager, they open in the Notes app, which I prefer (since it has word-wrap). Why would the QuickClip text files open in the browser, or, better yet, how would I get them to open in Notes or in a text editor? (I can use emelFM2 to open my QuickClip files in a text editor, but I mean from within the statusbar plugin itself.)
Tangentially related ... Selecting text can be a nuisance on an N800. You know how, with a hardware keyboard, you can click in one place and then, holding the Shift Key and clicking in another place, get all the text in-between highlighted? Has anybody found a way to do anything like that with the N800 OSK (on-screen keyboard)?

BrentDC, many thanks for this. I've been hoping for a utility like this.

The reason I chose the web-browser for "View" is because when opening them there, they are uneditable, so the OSK will not come up when not needed. If you have the webkit-backend installed for tablet-browser-ui, it supports word wrap, has one-click font size adjustments, and kinetic scrolling. This is really sweet for viewing files, so I thought that for the people that do have webkit installed, this would bee a good default setting.
If you want to bring up Nokia Notes, "Edit" will do what you want.

All times are GMT. The time now is 11:23.
============================================
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.
Changes:
.12 beta
- Added Use Seperator and Use Date Stamp option
- Added History
- Added Conformation popups
===========================
.11 beta
- Added Entry >> File option
- Added Backup integration
===========================
.01 beta
Initial Release.
