Clippings 6.3 beta 1 released!

This is the first beta release of the next version of Clippings. It is being made available for testers and early adopters craving the latest and greatest, and who are willing to tolerate a few bugs.

Read on to learn more about what's new in this release, and how to get it.

What's New

  • Improvements to Clippings Manager. On Windows, Clippings Manager now remembers its window size and position (issue #314)
  • Improvements to support for multiple displays on Windows. Clippings popup windows and dialogs will now be positioned within the browser window from which they were opened, instead of always centered on the primary display (issue #346). This feature is not available on macOS or Linux.
  • New option to skip backup reminders if there were no changes to your clippings since the last backup (issue #324)

Things You Should Know About

  • Thunderbird Users: This version of Clippings is designed for Firefox and is not compatible with Thunderbird. Get Clippings for Thunderbird, now compatible with Thunderbird 78.
  • Clippings 6.3 requires Firefox 78 or newer.
  • Some features may not be available when Firefox is in Private Browsing mode, or if the browser privacy settings are too restrictive.
  • If you want to use Sync Clippings, 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 available for Windows only.
