Clippings for Thunderbird 6.1 beta 3 released!

This is the third beta release of the next version of Clippings for Thunderbird. It is being made available for testers and early adopters craving the latest and greatest, and while it is the most stable beta release yet, expect to encounter the inevitable 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 #91)
• Improvements to support for multiple displays on Windows. Clippings popup windows and dialogs will now be positioned within the Thunderbird window from which they were opened, instead of always centered on the primary display (issue #97). This feature is experimental on macOS and Linux, where it is turned off by default.
• New option to skip backup reminders if there were no changes to your clippings since the last backup (issue #95)
• In Clippings Manager, the Details Pane can be shown or hidden by pressing CTRL+D (Command+D on macOS)
• User interface improvements to more closely match the rest of Thunderbird (version 91 and newer)
•  Fixed in 6.1b3  First-time backup dialog doesn't regain focus after Save As dialog dismissed (issue #105)

Compatibility

Clippings for Thunderbird 6.1 is compatible with Thunderbird version 78 and the latest beta release of version 91.
