This is the second beta release of an upcoming version of Clippings for
Firefox. It is being made available for testing, and although it
is the most stable beta-quality release yet, expect to encounter the few inevitable
bugs.
What's New
This release fixes a few bugs from beta 1, and comes with improvements to Dark Mode support on Windows and macOS.
Here's the full list of what's coming in Clippings 6.2:
- Clippings now supports Dark Mode system themes on macOS and Windows.
The dark-colored theme is automatically applied to Clippings windows
and dialogs (for example, Clippings Manager and the extension
preferences page) when Dark Mode is activated on your system.
- You can now choose how you want the date or time to be formatted
for the $[DATE] and $[TIME] placeholders; for example, the date with the
day of the week included, or the time given in the 24-hour clock. To
add a formatted date or time placeholder to your clipping, open
Clippings Manager, turn on the Placeholder Toolbar (Tools → Show/Hide
menu), then from the toolbar, click Presets and select Formatted
Date/Time
- For Sync Clippings users, there is a new option to only show synced
clippings and folders on the Clippings menu. To activate it, go to the
extension preferences, then under Sync Clippings, click Settings.
- Brought back the ability to redo an action in Clippings Manager. To redo an action (undo an undo), press F2.
- New in 6.2b2 New option to add the date to the backup file name
- Many other fixes and improvements
Things You Should Know About
- Clippings 6.2 requires Firefox 68 or newer.
- Clippings won't work in Private Browsing mode, or if the browser privacy settings are too restrictive. Your clippings will not be accessible, and new clippings cannot be created.
