now I understand !
I did not realize that the created app would itself have preferences.
You are very kind for giving such a detailed and well illustrated answer.
Yoink might be basic but it allows me to drop text, as opposed to files. I don’t believe Dropzone can handle text. Somebody please correct me if I’m wrong.
yes, you are right.
There are some disadvantages: contrary to clipboards, the content of each clip is not obvious ie easily visible. If you accumulate multiple items (text, files, etc), it becomes a pain and impedes workflow.
Another big pain is that contrary to clipboard, if you drag and drop text+image, you only end up with text as per below.
Because of that to using dropzone for files and clipboards for text.
Which clipboard manager do you use ? I am looking for a powerful versatile clipboard for my workflow. They all have significant disadvantages.
do you think that it’s safe to create a gmail app with fluid, using my gmail inbox URL?
I did it and when I activate the gmail app, I am asked for my login and password. Is it as safe as doing it in Chrome ?
thanks very much
Fluid is using WebKit (the same as Safari). Assuming that everything is implemented correctly, then it should be as safe as Safari. In any case, I would trust it more than Chrome.
For security purposes, should one assume that the Webkit used by Fluid to create apps, as well as the webkit component of each app, are updated regularly by Fluid, just like Safari is so often updated to deal with security threats ?
If there is anything I should ask the developer, let me know. I will write to him and report back to you.
thanks
I am using two macros to help me with disappearing windows while working on layers of interlocking windows.
I use a plugin action from Activate application by name string
First I designate the window to bring back later with a shortcut, and then with a similar shortcut I bring it back. Very handy, and does not require additional software.
Hello Tom,
Since you recommended Fluid, I use it all the time.
Do you think that it is safe ? a good idea ? to use gmail as a stand alone Fluid generated app ?
thanks very much !
Yes, Tom, you are right, and you did give me an excellent answer at that time which I had even filed in my Evernote.
My profuse apologies for not checking before asking the question, and wasting your time today.
I will be more careful in the future
