So I had to uninstall the previous one and then the new version showed where it belonged.

Now: testing

It works allright in Chinook. Having upgraded from 0.2, it took by default the .quickclip folder in home for storage. Only gtk was available as scrolling method: hildon and moko are greyed out and not selectable.
For the rest, nice and effective as usual

FYI: I installed quickclip for the first time on Diablo and couldn't install 0.4.4-1 because there was no .quickclip directory in /home/user, see the log of "apt-get install quickclip":
Code:
[..]
Unpacking quickclip (from .../quickclip_0.4.4-1_all.deb) ...
data dir exists ...
/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: line 19: cannot create /home/user/.quickclip/parent_files.xml: nonexistent directory
chmod: /home/user/.quickclip/parent_files.xml: No such file or directory 
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/quickclip_0.4.4-1_all.deb (--unpack):
 subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/quickclip_0.4.4-1_all.deb
[..]
But after creating the folder the install succeded.

Ah, you found a bug in the packaging

I will upload a fixed version asap!

Thanks.

While the text viewer easily allows you to read and/or access data you've already clipped.



New features in this release are:

* Added Clear submenu item
* Added Delete submenu item
* Switched to XML for target file list storage
* Switched storage location for user files
* Major code cleanup
* Fixed Open Bug
* Fixed preinst script
* Renamed Open Settings button to Browse
* QCV: Changed preference warning to bold
* QCV: Added application menu
* QCV: Fixed bug in scrolling choice
* QCV: Added Select All option
* QCV: Added Right/Left buttons for flipping through clippings
* QCV: Added Properties submenu item
* QCV: Added Help menu item
* QCV: Mapped the +/- keys to increase/decrease font size
* QCV: Mapped the Up/Down D-Pad keys to scrolling (only for GTK)
* QCV: Changed Title (more path visible)
* QCV: Major code cleanup
I earlier installed 0.31 which did not work, I upgraded to this version and it still does not work (after reboot), I see no icon in the top icon bar......
I tried again from the cmd line:

Did you enable it in the Control Panel? If so, and it still doesn't work, try installing the latest 0.4.4; you can find it in the Extras-devel repository.

There were a few bugs in the previous versions that would cause this behavior (and in 0.4.4 I fixed them).

Please report back on any issues.

Whoa, $HOME is being interpreted as /root/ instead of /home/user/. I'm no bash expect, but something isn't right there...

I'll look into it.

@skatebiker

Can you go to a Root prompt and type:

Code:
echo $HOME
And tell me the output?

Also, what do you use to gain root and do you use alternate bash interpreters?

In >= 0.4, Quick Clip wants you to store stuff in ~/MyDocs/Quick_Clip/ instead of ~/.quickclip/data/.

This is to be expected.

Only gtk was available as scrolling method: hildon and moko are greyed out and not selectable.
This is also to be expected since Hildon scrolling is only for Fremantle and I couldn't get python-mokoui to build for Chinook.

Great!


@everybody:

I just uploaded 0.4.4-2 which should (hopefully) fix the bug Nikem reported. This version is available from extras-devel on all OS's.
