  • Window Clippings v3 Sneak Peek – New Options Window – Take 2

    1 Comment

    I’ve updated the layout a bit to reduce the focus on the configurations. I felt that the configuration selection was too prominent in the earlier builds and I also wanted to make the window simpler and more approachable.



    Here you can see the options corresponding to the Image tab in version 2 of Window Clippings. There’s nothing really new here aside from the new color picker. I’ve never liked the built-in color picker that Windows provides so I decided to bake it into the options window even though it’s not a very necessary feature.

  • Feedback Forum for Window Clippings

    2 Comments

    Window Clippings has always been very much driven by the feedback I receive from the community. Up till now I have received that feedback primarily via email and comments on my blog.

    As I work on version 3 I thought I should try and make this a bit more manageable and open so I’ve set up a Feedback Forum for Window Clippings. I’ve also seeded it with a few suggestions. I still need to go through all my emails and comments and add various other suggestions that I’ve received but hopefully this is enough to get things started as far as the forum is concerned. I obviously can’t guarantee that every suggestion will turn into a product feature but you can bet that popular suggestions will seriously be considered for inclusion.

    Please add suggestions and vote!

  • Window Clippings v3 Sneak Peek – New Options Window

    7 Comments

    I’m hoping to get Window Clippings version 3 released before the end of the year but being an evenings and weekends project it’s hard to say for sure. What I did want to start doing is give you a sneak peek of where I’m heading and get your feedback along the way. To kick things off here are some screenshots of the new Options window. In subsequent posts I’ll talk more about the individual features but you can probably guess at a lot of what’s coming up based on what’s in these screenshots. These screenshots are taken on a high resolution screen at 120 DPI so they may appear a bit larger than usual if you’re using the default scaling.

  • Send your Window Clippings to ImageShack

    Maximilian Krauß recently sent me an add-in he wrote for uploading images to ImageShack. I’d never heard of the ImageShack service before but it turns out you can upload and host images for free and without needing to create an account. As you can see, the add-in itself provides no settings:

  • This and that

    It’s been a while since I posted anything. I spent some time in South Africa. Increasingly I feel like it’s time to go home. If only it were that simple. We’ve also had a bit of a rough time here in England. I have also heard that a few people assumed that I’d be driving around in a Ferrari after the announcement about PlateSpin’s acquisition for $205 million in cash. I should just mention that I left PlateSpin about six months before the acquisition and did not get to share in the big payout for a variety of subtle and not so subtle reasons. So if you’ve enjoyed my articles feel free to support me by purchasing a license for Window Clippings – it will be much appreciated!   :)
