The QuickClips extension makes it easy to quickly insert frequently used elements into your document, such as icons, background graphics, blocks of text, etc. To create a clip, select one or more items, then run the "QuickClips - Save New Clip" command. Enter a name for the clip and click OK. Because Fireworks doesn't immediately update the Commands menu, you'll need to switch to a different app and switch back. Then you should be able to see the newly created item under Commands > QuickClips.

To insert a clip, simply select it from the Commands > QuickClips menu. It will be inserted at the top of the current layer and will be aligned with the top-left corner of the current selection, or the top-left corner of the document if there's no selection. Note that inserting a clip is equivalent to simply copying and pasting the elements from another document. Unlike symbols, there is no connection to the original clip file.

To edit a previously saved clip, find its .png file in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Fireworks CS3\Configuration\Commands\QuickClips (or the Mac equivalent). Open, edit and save it like any other Fireworks document. Leave the clip's associated .jsf file alone. To delete a clip, remove both the .png and .jsf files.

Since the Commands menu can have only one level of submenus, you may want to create multiple libraries to store clips. To do so, run the "QuickClips - Create New Library" command. Enter a name for the library, like "Icons", and click OK. To add a clip to this library, run its associated "Save New Clip" command, in this case, "Icons - Save New Clip". The clip will then appear under Commands > Icons.

The extension comes with a few Windows cursor icons in the QuickClips library.
