Clippings for Thunderbird 7.0 is the newest version of the Thunderbird add-on that brings the convenience of Clippings to the popular open-source email client. It is now available from Add-ons for Thunderbird and the AE Creations website.
If you already have an older version of Clippings for Thunderbird installed, it will be updated 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
- The Clippings toolbar button in the message compose window has moved
from the status bar to the Composition Toolbar. The Clippings toolbar
button no longer appears in the main Thunderbird window.
- You can now add separators to organize your clippings in the Clippings menu. Separators can be added in Clippings Manager by right-clicking on a clipping or folder and then selecting Insert Separator from the context menu
- New option to show the shortcut key of a clipping in the Clippings menu. Turn on this setting from the redesigned extension preferences page
- New placeholder for embedding a clipping in a clipping. Placeholder syntax: $[CLIPPING(Name of clipping)].
- Sync Clippings enhancements: sync data is now compressed, allowing you to sync more of your clippings; also, improved handling of read-only sync files
- On macOS, automatic positioning of windows and dialogs, and saving of the Clippings Manager window position and size, are now fully supported and is turned on by default
- On Linux, the option to minimize the Clippings Manager
window when it's inactive has been removed, since the window is no
longer always on top in recent versions of Thunderbird
- When new users install Clippings for Thunderbird, it will only ask for the extension permissions it needs for basic functionality, and will ask for additional permissions if turning on Sync Clippings or creating a new clipping from the clipboard for the first time. This is a change from previous versions, where Clippings for Thunderbird requested full, unrestricted access to Thunderbird and your system
- Many behind-the-scenes improvements to ensure compatibility with future versions of Thunderbird
Things You Should Know About
- Users of Clippings for Thunderbird version 5.7 or earlier
should take note: Clippings will no longer automatically import your
clippings data when upgrading from those old versions. Export
your clippings now (select the "Clippings 6" data format) so that
you can import them when you're ready to upgrade Clippings to version
7.0 or newer.
- Additional add-on permissions are now required for some features. When turning on Sync Clippings or performing clipboard actions for the first time, a message box will appear, indicating the permission requested and how to grant it. If you're upgrading from an earlier version of Clippings, the necessary permission for Sync Clippings will already be enabled.
Compatibility
Clippings for Thunderbird 7.0 is compatible with Thunderbird 128 and newer. It is not compatible with Thunderbird 115.x.
The Sync Clippings enhancements requires Sync Clippings Helper version 2.0.Help and Support
