*Note for Upgraders

KlipFolio 4 uses a new system, Liquid Klips, to help you arrange your Klips. On upgrade your Klips may move, and you may have to adapt your layout.

FAQs

My Klips moved around after upgrading from 3.1. What gives?
Most users, on upgrade, will see their Klips move to a different layout. This is a side effect of the new Liquid Klips system.
My carefully laid out bundles of Klips are gone. How do I get them back?
Use groups. See the next FAQ item.
How do I create a group?
Drag a Klip away from the main bundle and a mini-toolbar will appear, creating a new group. You can now drag other Klips to it.
How do I get rid of a group?
Drag all the Klips of a group to other groups. The empty group's toolbar will automatically disappear.
How do I get started with a sidebar?
Simply drag a toolbar to the edge of your screen, or use the toolbar's "Layout" context menu item.
How do I create a Topbar along the top edge of my screen?
Drag a toolbar to the top edge of your screen or use the toolbar's "Layout" context menu item.
Can I have multiple sidebars at the same time?
Yes. You can have as many sidebars as you want on as many monitors as you want.
I've lost desktop space and I can't seem to get it back. What do I do?
Unlock your Windows taskbar, resize it and move it to the edge of the affected monitor. That will force Windows to reset your desktop.
Can I turn off Liquid Klip movement?
No. It's an integral part of KlipFolio 4.
I found a problem with KlipFolio. How do I report it?
Either post a bug report in the Forum or send us an email.
How do I go back to KlipFolio 3.1, with all my 3.1 settings, after upgrading to 4.0?
1. Uninstall KlipFolio 4.0 (choose "Remove" during uninstall)
2. Install KlipFolio 3.1. Do not start it.
3. Use the start menu entry for KlipFolio to open the KlipFolio directory.
