Known Issues
- Some users have reported that the Clippings submenu on the browser
context menu in Firefox would often disappear when moving the mouse to select
a clipping or folder on the menu. This is caused by a bug in the
Video
DownloadHelper extension which causes problems with many context menus in
Firefox. Upgrading Video DownloadHelper to the latest version will resolve
the problem.
- The font in the pasted clipping may not match the font formatting of the
surrounding text inside a rich edit textbox (Firefox) or HTML message
(Thunderbird). This happens if the text is formatted in a font other than
the default (bug
20505).
- On Mac OS X, digits 0-9 for shortcut keys do not work. Use letters (A-Z)
only.
- Shortcut key assignments are lost after migrating to the common data
source.
Things You Should Know About
- You must download and install Clippings in both Firefox and Thunderbird
if you want to use Clippings in both programs. Installing Clippings in one
program will not install it in the other.
- If, before migrating to the common Clippings data source, you have a
large number of clippings and folders in the root Clippings folder, migrating
from Firefox and Thunderbird may result in a larger number of clippings and
folders in the common data source, resulting in a rather lengthy Clippings
submenu in the host application's context menu. Consider organizing your
clippings (deleting unneeded clippings from the root folder and moving
clippings to folders) before running the migration utility.
- Sometimes, if the common Clippings data source is enabled and you make
changes to a clipping from Clippings Manager invoked from one host app and
then switch to another instance of Clippings Manager from the other host app,
the update from the first host app may not be reflected in Clippings Manager
from the second host app. Use Options → Reload to update the
display.
- The Redo (a.k.a. "Undo Undo") function key in Clippings Manager has
changed as of version 3.0; the function key is now F2.
