Might come in useful to others on Win11:

To get the snipping tool working, close the snipping tool, manually set the date to around the start of October. Reopen the snipping tool and it should be working. The date can now be set back.

I had pretty good luck reaching out to the developers on Discord these past couple weeks. Not sure when you tried but I recommend trying it again. I personally I think snips is way more appropriate on something embedded like a RPi. I was up and running with their new sam package within minutes. Their new update (about two months?) really made it more user friendly. Unfortunately, their windows packages is still very broken.

E: You should probably try in the late night or early morning time for the States (EST) since they are located in Europe I believe.

I am on 18.04, so it's not working if something was done.

A little late, but I think I fixed this. Working for me now in 17.0/Windows 7

On my work computer on Win10 it just opens up the magnifier :(

Okay, so I changed the year to 2039, started WindowsXP in VirtualBox. Nothing happend. Opened Excel, typed in some time-related functions (like NOW), worked fine. And just by the time I was going to post this message ending with "What is wrong with it, I want some blue screen people" I simply couldn't log in with my LiveJournal openID (not sure if this is HN's or LJ's fault), so seems like this time thing really works.

I'm still on 18.04, and it doesn't do it. I remember it in an older version though.

There is no "Start"

Ok this is weird. I just repeated the procedure on my office PC and it worked. Do you have an theme active probably?

Have you tried reloading the editor? Worked for me on Windows.

Interesting. When I tried it at work earlier (Windows 7, latest PuTTY) it closed out the window without showing anything. I just tried it at home (Windows 10, latest PuTTY) and it worked as you said.

That doesn't work now either. Playing whacamole with an editor?

sebazzz | karma 3584 | avg karma 2.19 · | 2017-12-06 15:42:32

I am on Win10/1709 and it really does not work.

rjkaplan | karma 203 | avg karma 5.8 · | 2016-04-14 03:47:25

I fixed an issue that I was able to repro on a Windows machine. It'd be great if you could try again and let me know if it now works for you!

Upgraded to WIN 10,0,12,36 - works now.

Edit: about 15 minutes into a set, it stopped playing with no explanation, although the time elapsed changed to NaN:NaN:NaN. Changing tracks or fiddling with the controls couldn't get it going again, but reloading the page did.

Love the concept, and I'm going to keep using it, but it seems to need a bit more QA :p

Hmm, I just tried the Bubbles preview on Win11, and it worked fine. Is it different when it's running 'for real'?

Weird, that's not working on my desktop.

Tijdreiziger | karma 3008 | avg karma 2.1 · | 2018-07-01 17:51:56+00:00

It doesn't seem to work on Windows 10 :(

ojbyrne | karma 17267 | avg karma 3.87 · | 2009-05-15 13:08:05+00:00

Unfortunately as of my last birthday that wouldn't work either. 0x30 :-(

Doesn't even launch. The window appears very briefly then closes immediately. If any of the maintainers are here let me know how can I help you with this. I'm on Windows 10 version 1703 (OS Build 15063.13) x64
