I don’t know if this rises to the level of a bug, and originally I as going to make this a feature request because I didn’t seem to work, but now I think there is something a little buggy going on…
Following the thread on using Templates and placeholders I was going to go through all of my clippings and decide which ones to try in a new template with placeholders.
Previously, I had tried hovering over the clippings to get a popup so I could see their contents without actually opening them. It did not work. So instead I used the finder, but it would be simpler to it right there in the pane. This morning I was going to do a feature request but then it worked.
So, I started using it, made a new window and once again it stopped working. I noticed at first that in the inspector pane, if I had the “tell context pane” minimized so it was invisible, it didn’t work. If I make the tell context pane bigger, the popups on the clippings started working. If I then minimized the tell context pane, popups on clippings still worked. If I selected a different tab then went back to the inspectors tab it stopped working. Changing (and rechaging) the size of tell context pane seemed to “fix” it again.
