Select Cline Usage-Billing, ClinePass, or ClineFree models in Desktop cloud sessions
Desktop v0.0.41 lets Cloud sessions use the same Cline Usage-Billing, ClinePass, and ClineFree models as the web app, keeps unsent drafts, and adds Suggested connector combos. Update the picker, install a combo, and adopt the new provider defaults.Why this loop
Cline Desktop v0.0.41 aligns Cloud sessions with the web catalog: the picker lists Cline Usage-Billing, ClinePass, and ClineFree instead of only Cline, and organization accounts do not get ClinePass. New Cloud sessions wait until a model is ready and you can retry a failed list, so do not send until the picker loads. Unsent prompts survive session switches; sidebar New restores the draft while Cmd/Ctrl+N still starts a fresh session. Customize → Connectors now matches Skills, Plugins, and MCP (search, refresh, Installed) and adds Suggested one-click combos such as incident root-cause analysis and organizing your day. Marketplace rows show item type so Figma MCP vs Figma connector are distinct, category filters are one dropdown, and connector details show tools added to new sessions. Agent-team data is compacted on first open so long sessions stay fast while teammates stream. Provider defaults changed: DigitalOcean and Ofox to GPT-6.1 Sol, GMI Cloud to Qwen 3.8 Flash, NanoGPT to Pareto 26.10 Preview, Nvidia to DeepSeek V4.1 Flash. Acting on billing model, connectors, and defaults avoids wrong cost tier, missing tools, and surprise model switches.
Proposed actions
- In Cline Desktop v0.0.41, open a Cloud session, wait until the model picker is ready (retry if the list fails to load), then select Cline Usage-Billing, ClinePass, or ClineFree instead of the old Cline-only entry. Skip ClinePass if this is an organization account.
- Resume an unfinished Cloud prompt with sidebar New; use Cmd/Ctrl+N only when you want a blank session. Switch to another session and back without sending to confirm the unsent draft is still there.
- Open Customize → Connectors, click Refresh, search the Installed section, then one-click install a Suggested combo (incident root-cause analysis or organizing your day) and paste its example prompt into a new session.
- In Marketplace, use the type column and the single category dropdown to pick the Figma connector versus the Figma MCP server, then open connector details and note how many tools it adds to new sessions (not the catalog total).
- Set provider defaults to GPT-6.1 Sol (DigitalOcean, Ofox), Qwen 3.8 Flash (GMI Cloud), Pareto 26.10 Preview (NanoGPT), and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (Nvidia). Open each existing agent-team session once so team data is compacted automatically.
