Not bad for free, but you might want to check out ClipCache Pro (http://www.xrayz.co.uk/clipcache/)–well worth the $25, IMO. Much more powerful: nesting folders for stored clips make it into a little PIM, to store boilerplate text, logins, images, whatever; and it preserves formatting. It’s always the first utility I install on any machine I use.

I tried this one and the Yankee Clipper 3 (freeware). I could only make the convert the text into a picture once. Where is the help file in Global Clipboard?

The YC3 Freeware is one that I was never able to copy and transfer to
History or Boilerplate any picture; so I figure it has the same template as the commercial version but it just does not support it as a freeware.
However, if copying a picture from Word – while YC3 is open – it creates two files : a MetaFile and a Bitmap file and both could be used normally (both). If you delete one the other goes out as well.
This is a good program though.

CLCL its pretty good actually, but interface is a little too complex..
i could use any of those freeware, but they fail pasting stored files from corel or fireworks or any other special format. all i would get is a bitmap, which is useless most of the times. i actually keep copy of entire fireworks files as a back up in M8 clipboard. they are editable anytime. THAT i would pay for.

I have been looking for a decent clipboard manager for some time now and have tried a few different solutions (including a Google gadget and a plugin for the True Launch Bar that was a giveaway just a few days ago). This one at least looks like it has some promise, so I’ll try it out for a while. If it doesn’t work out for me, well hey, at least I have a chance to try it for free. :)

Thanks.

#43, you’re too late. When I wanna blow a dollar on a bottle of water I buy Perrier. ;)

Today’s program has use for some, and the added advantages over freeware alternatives is that this one will save and resize images, change text, change case, allow for merging of text, save and relaunch links,etc. Most of the freeware clipboard replacements offer some extra options, but this one seems to offer many in one package instead of needing to switch programs for added functions. Could be useful for form filling, but not for logins as it doesn’t encrypt or password protect data.

The Advanced Specialist, when you sell bottled air, you can call it dehydrated water. It’ll sell better. :)

#36 BOBO WROTE: “I don’t know why someone would pay for functionality when quality freeware programs are offered…..

Hey, Bobo, I’m with ya. You have a good point. But you realize nowadays Some people even enjoy paying for water.

I think I’m going to start selling bottled Air. I’ll put it in a blue bottle and put some French name on it like “L’essence de la Vie” or something. It will be all fresh and come from some mountain, I promise. ;) Anyone wanna buy some?

P.T. Barnum once had a good saying about consumers. Still true to this day I think. :=)
