Clippings 6.3 beta 2 released!

This is the second beta release of the next version of Clippings. It is being made available for testers and early adopters craving the latest and greatest, and 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 experimental on macOS and Linux, where it is turned off by default.   New in 6.3b2  Added settings in the extension preferences page for enabling auto-positioning of Clippings windows and dialogs
• New option to skip backup reminders if there were no changes to your clippings since the last backup (issue #324)
•  New in 6.3b2  In Clippings Manager, the Details Pane can be shown or hidden by pressing CTRL+D (Command+D on macOS)
