Does anyone know how to get an Icon to show up in Control Panel->Panels->Status Bar-> ? Right now it is just blank.
Thanks.
In your /usr/share/applications/hildon-status-bar/quick_clip.desktop file, add the line:
Code:
Icon=quick_clip

As much as I tend to go for simpler-is-better, your ideas for .12 sound good to me.
The only other thing I can think of is that when it successfully copies the selected text, maybe a little confirmation window -- something like Clipped! -- could flash briefly. (It's more important to flash a window when there's nothing to clip, and you've already implemented that. But I still find I go and look just to make sure the clipping happened. "Clipped!" would alleviate that paranoia.)
If you got really ambitious, there could be a setting where anything clipped from a browser automatically was followed with the URL. But that's probably a lot harder to implement.
As for #2, I do not think there is any way to get the current URL from the browser... I guess the URL will have to b clipped too to get the desired effect.

In your /usr/share/applications/hildon-status-bar/quick_clip.desktop file, add the line:
to the end.Code:Icon=quick_clip
).Thanks qwerty! (and GeraldKo).

Another addition that would be most awesome: linking Quick Clip to a hardware button so that even while in Full-Screen mode it could be started. I don't think that's really part of your program so much as a tinkering with "Hardware Key Bindings," something like this. I bet there's a way to get a button to call an app (or a status-bar plug-in), though I don't know what it is.

I have no idea how to call a sb applet other than clicking the actual sb... Theoretically it might be possible, but certainly beyond my abilities.

Sorry for the long wait on a .12 release, but here it is:
New in this release:
-Added Use Date Stamp and Use Separator options
-Added a History submenu, so you can easily access the last 10 clippings.
-Added a little "Clipped" conformation message when a clipping is successful (and an "Error Clipped..." one when things are not).
Could someone let me know how Quick Clip works on Chinook? I've only tested it on Diablo, thanks.

Chinook here. The previous version was OK - this one doesn't do at all. Settings menu doesn't come out, when trying to clip selected text from browser, get "error clipping", and clip files aren't shown.
Downgraded to 0.11 - OK again.
Might be I had to uninstall/purge 0.11 before installing 0.12?
EDIT: nope, after purging 0.11 and /home/user/.quickclip and reinstalling 0.12 no menu comes out when clicking its icon. Definitely, 0.12 is not chinook compatible.

A related option, but one I think would prove annoying, is to monitor clipboard, and when it changes, bring up a dialog asking you where to save it (or cancel), but the heavy use of clipboard rather than primary on a touchscreen means you'd be canceling that dialog infuriatingly often.

Also, is the icon showing up for you all in the Control Panel? It's working here on my boot-from-sd partition but not the internal one...
