Why not from the Finder...
Authored by: robg on Apr 01, '02 10:56:11AM

So you can drag it into an existing document, but why can't you open it by dragging and dropping it onto TextEdit itself? Or even more annoying, why can't you copy and paste the contents of a clipping file? I know you can drag and drop it, but sometimes that requires manipulating open windows.

Clippings seem like an excellent idea that got about 80% implemented then shipped ;-).

Tex-Edit Plus can open clipping files. You have to go to File > Open Any... You can't drag them onto its icon though.

I wonder why Apple removed the ability to copy text from a clipping?

I've been using Tex-Edit as a replacement to SimpleText for a while, and have it set to open all my .txt files in OS X. It does a lot of cool things!
