Sunrise XP beta 9 released, new web browser extensions

Laurens · 04-11-2006, 12:01 PM

Always happy to announce a new release.

This beta adds a web browser "clipping" functionality similar to the earlier "Send to Sunrise" for the Java version. Right-click on a web page and select "Clip with Sunrise XP" from the popup menu to convert it to a Plucker document. Both Firefox (1.5 or later) and Internet Explorer are supported.

Unlike the browser extensions for the Java version, you don't need to have the application running in the background for them to work. The new extensions simply invoke Sunrise XP directly.

Installation is also much simpler: the Sunrise XP installer registers the extensions automatically. No need to go to a separate installation page. (A source of confusion for new users.)

I was just thinking about the "Send to Sunrise" feature! That's fantastic, I can't wait to try it out.

Do you need to uninstall the old version? I did an install on top of the old but the help/about window still says v2.0 beta 8

I forgot to update the version resource. This is, in fact, beta 9.

Slight enhancement: beta 9a lets you clip only the selected part of a page. Handy for getting rid of unnecessary navigation, advertising, etc.

I think I like this feature! I am just not sure how I should be using it I think.

I tried to clip a site, IE send to sunrise. I see it working. When it is done, I sync and don't see the item show up in the SXL and the the file did not end up on the Palm. So my question is, where did it go? Do I need to do anything special after that to get it to the Palm, or why did it not show up? I add it to the SXL manually and it shows up just fine.

Look at the destination setting on the Output tab.

*bump*

Just fixed a nasty little bug that crashes the application when processing an empty file or HTTP response. This occurs quite often, so I recommend everyone to upgrade.
