Starting from 1.14.6, Clicknow provides a native PopClip extension! Once installed, it works just like another PopClip button. Here's how it looks like:
Installation
Installing the extension is super easy
- Make sure you've installed Clicknow and PopClip;
- Download the extension
- Double click the downloaded file clicknow.popcliptxt to install
You should be able to see Clicknow appear as a PopClip extension 😀
How do I disable Clicknow's popup, and only leave PopClip's?
Once you installed the extension, most likely you only want one popup.
You can do so easily but turning off Clicknow from the status bar, then you'll only see PopClip's popup. You can still use the extension and activate Clicknow as needed.
Do I still need the Clicknow app if I installed the PopClip extension?
First, the PopClip extension just invokes the Clicknow app, so you still need to have Clicknow installed and activated. I built the extension because many PopClip users asked for it, which is understandable as they only want one popup.
PopClip extension provides the two main features of Clicknow: explain, translate. But the Clicknow app has several features that the extension doesn't cover:
- Spell check
- Add date/time to calendar
- Flight tracking when selecting a flight number
If you don't use these features, then you can pretty much use the extension or native app interchangeably. For me, I prefer to use the app directly because I heavily use the spell checker.
Encountered any issue? Don't hesitate to let me know.
