Clippings 6.1.5 released!

This is another minor update to Clippings 6.1 that comes with a few improvements and a fix for a long-standing bug. It is now available from Mozilla Add-ons and the AE Creations website.

If you already have Clippings installed, it will be upgraded for you if automatic extension updates are enabled. Otherwise, open Add-ons Manager (Tools → Add-ons), then right-click on the entry for Clippings in the list of installed extensions and choose Find Updates.

What's New
  • Imported clippings and folders now maintain their original sequence (issue #256)
  • Exporting clippings from Clippings Manager now saves the ordering of clippings and folders (issue #261)
  • Commonly-used special characters (question mark, parentheses, quotation marks, asterisk, common currency symbols, etc.) can now be used in default values for placeholders (issue #73). Note that the pipe symbol (|), curly braces ({}) and square brackets([]) cannot be used.
  • Bug fix: Sporadic "no active browser tab" error when pasting clipping with custom placeholders (issue #262)

Things You Should Know About
  • Clippings 6.1 requires Firefox 60 or newer.
  • Clippings won't work in Private Browsing mode, or if the browser privacy settings are too restrictive. Your clippings will not be accessible, and new clippings cannot be created.
  • If you want to use Sync Clippings, you'll need to download and install the Sync Clippings helper app. More information and download links can be found on the Sync Clippings page on the AE Creations website. The Sync Clippings Helper app is currently available for Windows only.
