But with the new common datasource feature introduced in Clippings 3.0, the clippings data is now stored in the user's home directory so that both Firefox and Thunderbird can access it. As far as exporting and importing the datasource file is concerned -- get used to it. On Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 11:50 AM, Leonardo Chiesi wrote: > Hi, > > Clippings is a great addon.

Disabling or uninstalling Menu Editor will resolve the problem of missing clippings -- but for some users this isn't practical. Another solution is to try the following: 1. Click on the text box where you want to paste a clipping. 2. Right-click -> Clippings -> Organize Clippings. This will open Clippings Manager. 3. Find the desired clipping in the tree list and double-click on it. The selected clipping should be pasted into the web page text box at the cursor position.

Ask your network admin to find out if that is the case. I'm not sure if this is possible, but depending on how your Windows machines were set up, the user documents and settings folder might even be located on a different hard drive or partition.

Message-ID: <5f7ce9700806281851i62d8bba1m9452daacf5cb0b4a@mail.gmail.com> A new update for Clippings is now available for download from http://clippings.mozdev.org. If you already have Clippings installed, it will be upgraded for you if automatic extension updates are enabled. Otherwise, open Extension Manager (Tools -> Add-ons), then right-click on the entry for Clippings in the list of installed extensions and choose Find Update. This release fixes several bugs. Improvements include: * On Linux, the Clippings Manager window position is saved. Previously, Clippings Manager always appeared at the top left corner of the screen * On Mac OS X, the instructions in the New Clipping dialog and Clippings Manager on how to paste a clipping using shortcut keys has been clarified * Fixed a Clippings Manager bug that caused an error when creating a new clipping if there were no clippings and common clippings was enabled * Also in Clippings Manager, users are now prevented from exporting clippings to a datasource file of the same name in the same folder. This is to prevent a bug where clippings are appended to the data in the existing Clippings file if the user had chosen to overwrite it. Support requests should be emailed to the Clippings mailing list. Bug reports should also be emailed to the Clippings mailing list; if you have a Bugzilla account on Mozdev, you may file a bug report at http://clippings.mozdev.org/bugs.html.

I've often found myself jumping back and forth from webpage to Manager creating new clippings, and especially with the recent compatibility issues with Menu Editor, switching windows again and again to make new clippings and/or get the clippings I need gets obnoxious quite quickly. If, however, I could open up the Manager in the sideboard, I would never again need to switch windows to work with my clippings, which would make me extremely happy. Thanks very much for all the work on this awesome extension; I don't think I could stand to browse without Clippings again. :) From aeng.aecreations at gmail.com Mon Jun 30 11:59:01 2008 From: aeng.aecreations at gmail.com (Alex Eng) Date: Mon, 30 Jun 2008 11:59:01 -0700 Subject: [Clippings] compatibility issues In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <5f7ce9700806301159u63b924c0u43d2df3d8f5c454@mail.gmail.com> None at the moment, other than the workaround described elsewhere on this list and at http://aecreations.blogspot.com/2008/06/workaround-to-clippings-and-menu-editor.html, which can be employed until a solution is found.
