- Rated 4 out of 5by #98374, 10 months agoPretty good, thank You. 6.5.4 has some issues:
- does not search inside content, only title
- go to a category, insert clipping. It is not added into that category but to the bottom of the list requiring drag&drop
- it does not remember last window size, requiring resizing of the window
- after inserting new clipping, the cursor should be in the title field, it is not, requiring Tab key - Rated 4 out of 5by kstev99, a year agoA must have extension. One of the first that I install on a new setup. Unfortunately in the last couple of weeks my clippings have quit working on twitter ("X") The text is placed in the reply field but not recognized as text and unable to submit. Not sure if the problem is with clippings, firefox, or X.

posted a year agoThis is an issue with Twitter/X. I was able to reproduce the issue on an older version of Firefox (102.15 ESR).
EDIT: Issue is confirmed with the latest release of Clippings (6.5.2.1). This will be fixed in a minor update. - Rated 4 out of 5by IAMI, 2 years agoIt is broken now ,the text is not saved. maybe there is a space limit.

Please provide clear steps to reproduce the issue, along with any other information that may help with troubleshooting. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17958366, 2 years agoIt is a great idea, kudos to the author, I use it daily and it saves me a tons of time. However as a constructive criticism from a fellow developer, I must say that implementations has its bugs and feels as if it was kinda half-assed. There are several obvious small issues:
1. Random spaces or empty lines in clippings are randomly added or removed. There is often an empty line missing or an extra empty line. Mainly happening in gmail on all OS (MAC, WIN10, WIN 11...). Nothing big, but surely author must have encounter this too, it's obvious and easy to reproduce, yet it was not fixed in the last 2 yrs...
2. There is no syncing, only manual/auto backup. When I use 2 firefox on 2 laptops, clippings are not synced. This is a big issue
3. UX looks like from 1997, it could use some polishing :) Ok, this one is just nitpicking, it's not a functional problem, but still :)Developer response

- Rated 4 out of 5by Erne D, 3 years agoThe add-on itself is good, however, I found out that it clears my already typed text when I paste something.
This happens on Linux, on Windows it runs perfectly fine. - Rated 4 out of 5by Kyle, 3 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by alex21, 3 years agoNice extension! Works very well! BUT I can't sync. I using two Firefox browsers (2 different pc's) and it's impossible to sync!
I already download and install sync app, set same Dropbox folder on two pc's and I can see green icon sync is on.
But when I add new clipping on the first pc, another pc doesn't have this clipp. Literally nothing happen. Does sync option really works?

Update:
I tried sync manually on second PC but I only get this message "Updating the synced clippings folder. Click reload to continue." And nothing happen. None Clippings synced.Developer response
posted 3 years agoYou need to trigger the sync manually from Clippings Manager on the second PC - click on the sync button next to the Synced Clippings folder. For more help, see the Sync Clippings page at https://aecreations.sourceforge.io/clippings/sync.php
If you are having further issues, please post to the AE Creations Help and Support forum: https://groups.google.com/g/aecreations-help - Rated 4 out of 5by denb10, 4 years agoClippings is a very useful extension that works great.
However, I have two negative reviews (that earn it one star less):
1. The choices offered for the predefined "Formatted Date" placeholder are for English speakers only, they are not localized. This is a shame.
2. The setup of the sync clippings helper app requires administrator rights and the synchronization can only be activated by the user who installed the program. As a result, a standard user (who does not have administrator privileges) cannot synchronize his clippings. This is annoying.
Would it be possible to solve these two problems? Thank you! - Rated 4 out of 5by hg firefox, 4 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by ethos, 4 years agoThis is a very helpful addon. But it currently requires a standalone tool to realize syncing. Could firefox's built-in sync function be utilized? Thank you !
Developer response
posted 4 years agoFirefox Sync doesn't have the ability to sync with Thunderbird. If you want to synchronize your clippings with Thunderbird or other Firefox installations, install the Sync Clippings Helper App: https://aecreations.sourceforge.io/clippings/sync.php - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15901965, 5 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Thomas, 6 years agoVery unique and useful addon. But I have to say, what the heck is up with ALL of those permissions.. wow.
Developer response
posted 6 years agoAll those permissions are needed for Clippings to function. Go to the following page to learn more about the meaning of those permissions, and why they are needed: http://aecreations.sourceforge.net/clippings/permissions.php - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15007766, 6 years ago
