Description: A web shortcut, with a preview, on the desktop. I got hooked on them on the N900 home screen; here's my take for Plasma.
Note: 0.4 requires KDE 4.8. The webcutimage data engine is required ( http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=147461 ). The data engine needs PyQt and PyKDE.
Introducing in 0.4, Webcutcut! A bit like the web shortcuts (gg:, wp:, dd: etc). Enable, set an url scheme, copy, click the Webcutcut button in lower right corner to engage.
How does the author use Webcutcut? A Webcut pointing to a dictionary on my desktop, with the dictionary search configured as Webcutcut url. When encountering an unknown word, select the word, ctrl+c, click the Webcutcut button and enjoy the dictionary entry on the word.
And I'm sure there are plenty other ways to use it, too.Last changelog:
0.4 Some cleanup(?) Webcutcut
0.3 Everything basic I could think of. Set up a shortcut, or just drag an URL to desktop. Custom title.
installed both zip files but I just get a blank window on the desktop
my custom title displays and if I left click the widget the page opens in my browser
running kde 4.8 beta 1
have: python-kde4 and python-qt4 installed

(If I understood correctly) yes, that's the way I intended it (I realize my description was not very clear), but the behaviour you expected sounds also interesting, I think I will try adding it as an option later.

is to enable support for adobe flash, because I want to use the application to online radios. :D
This applet aims only to provide a static picture of the page; probably the webbrowser plasmoid fits internet radios better.

Hmm, could you run it from console with "plasmoidviewer webcut" and see if it shows an error message?

Do you have python-kdebase4?
python-kdebase4-4.7.80-11.1.x86_64 python-kde4-4.7.80-2.1.x86_64 python-qt4-4.8.6-83.1.x86_64
I also run oS 12.1, all the versions same, so it's something else... Strange
but I am running 4.8rc1
Yes; 4.7.80 here, too.
no change using 4.8 rc2

not same problem, just dl'ed and ran wallpaper clock successfully
0.4 works
Good to know, although I have no idea what fixed it.
issue (?) - when I use the default webcut and click the webcut button the search opens in my default browser not in webcut
