Clippings for Thunderbird 6.1 released!

Clippings for Thunderbird 6.1 introduces compatibility with Thunderbird 91 and contains several improvements and bug fixes, including a few that are already present in Clippings for Firefox 6.3.  It is now available from the AE Creations website.

If you already have an older version of Clippings for Thunderbird installed, it will be upgraded for you if automatic extension updates are enabled. Otherwise, open Add-ons Manager (from the Thunderbird menu, click Add-ons), click on the entry for Clippings for Thunderbird in the list of installed extensions, and then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Check for Updates.

What's New

  • Improvements to Clippings Manager. On Windows, Clippings Manager now remembers its window size and position
  • Improved 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. 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
  • 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, as well as improved support for Dark Mode system themes on macOS and Windows (requires Thunderbird 91 or newer)
  • Bug fix: First-time backup dialog doesn't regain focus after Save As dialog dismissed (issue #105)
  • Added support for Dutch, French, German, and Portuguese (Brazil)

Things You Should Know About
