For anyone that missed this GoTd, there is an free alternative available:
http://www.pcfreunde.de/download/d11357/extended-clipboard/43638-KvlqOZsVKs/
Its the same as the GoTd, only difference is that is a little bit confusing, if you use it the first time.
But: Learning by Doing ^^

Chears, and keep on going! =D

It seemed to work immediately after I installed it, but the next morning, my clipboard would not work at all. This even though I did not allow it to install any files in my startup. (Did it befoul my registry?) After playing around with it, I decided to use GoBack to revert my hard disk to its condition before installing Clipdiary. Everything seems to work now.
(Note: Norton decided to dump GoBack. It ran with XP, but apparently not with Vista.)

How does this beat something like Ditto?

Probably like most of you, I’ve been using/trying/throwing out all kinds of clipboard extenders for the last 17 years. Clipmate was one of the first and probably the best. Then it got more bloated. And of course, it isn’t free. I’ve tried just about all the other alternatives suggested above. Some are alright. Well, most are alright. Depends on what you’re looking for. I was using Arsclip up until 5 minutes ago. I’m keeping Clipdiary. I can have tons of clips in my history, search them, and most important of all to me, with hotkeys, I can go up or down the list in my history and sequentially paste clips. That’s one feature I really loved about Clipmate. I don’t see where I can edit my clips in Clipdiary (maybe it’s there, I don’t know) but that is a feature I did like about Arsclip, but used only a little bit. If I need to edit a clip, I’ll just put it into editor2 or something. But I just don’t like clipboard extenders that try to do so many things. Too many features get a clipboard extender way too cluttered. In this case, less is more.

Thanks GAOTD! I’ve been looking for a good clipboard extender like this forever!

Activated fine in vista Home Premium 64 bit. I ran the activate.exe 1st. Seems to work fine, I got the hang of using it without problems. Only complaint is it ads new items to the end of list not the top of list as the newest item added I would really expect new stuff to be on top. That would be a great addition for future upgrades. Perhaps it could be made optional as a setting.

I’ll need a few days to make a judgment about how well I like it over all. Might be kind troublesome when I get too much stuff in it since it ads new stuff to the end not beginning of list?? I’ll have to watch that and only keep in there stuff from projects I am working on at the time. I think if I keep old stuff cleaned out it will be pretty good. At any rate it was free so woohoo – thanks giveawayoftheday

Just a little reminder to all GAOTD fans: the best way to register is to 1. INSTALL, 2. verify that the program has installed properly and is useful, 3. CLOSE the program, 4. Close all browser applications (IE, FF, etc.), and (now) 5. RUN any activation resource included.

The activation resource usually works in a similar manner to an Outlook add-on or something, you gotta have the base program closed to install an add-on. Following the 5 steps, you got the least problems in activating a GAOTD program.

Again, GAOTD and developers, THANKS!

Nice little program, does what it says it does. Definately a keeper.

I don’t really care about freeware alternatives, as I already have this program for free… :D

Works fine on Vista btw (at least on 32-bit).

The Good
* Simple and easy to use.
* Keeps track of not just plain text, but rich (formatted) text and non-text data also.
* Can clear database upon program exit.
* Allows you to limit how many clipboard entries are stored.
* Works with hotkeys.
* You can have multiple “profiles” (databases) of saved clipboard data.
* Can be used as an adhoc way to share clipboard data across network.

The Bad
* Uses more computer resources a bit more computer resources then I would have liked.
