V2 Beta of Clipboard Help+Spell With Support for Images
IainB:
@mouser:
They are standard image files that by default are sorted into subfolders by year/month and named by day. you can customize this in options.
See the "explore" button on the toolbar when looking at an image clip to jump to the image folder for the image.

Thanks for explaining to me what I should have read (but missed) in the new Preferences/Options settings.
You really have done a nice job with this update. :Thmbsup:
I noticed the icons of the application (i.e., within which the clips were captured) now appear in the "Quick" CHS clip list. That is a rather handy visual piece of information. I like it.
mouser:
Minor update uploaded; just redownload if you want it -- it now shows image dimensions in popup menu and saves image dimension in clip image filenames.

Thats so even the people who disable image capture have something new to enjoy. It was suggested by superboyac in this thread as a feature of ArsClip that should be added to CHS.

Working fine here :up:
(havent gotten the last minor update yet)
I notice it converts vector clips to bitmap images - I mean 'pixel' images. I've seen this in other clipboard extenders as well.
It uses a very low resolution though - the clips are useless really.
I presume it's not possible to save vector clips "as is"?
If not,
my ideal would be to convert them to a much higher resolution, but also give the option to disable saving of vectors

Actually what's happening here, i believe -- is that the application puts multiple kinds of data on clipboard -- probably the full vector image, and a smaller draft bitmap.
Right now, CHS only knows how to grab the bitmap data on clipboard -- and doesn't know how to deal with the vector clip.
How easy it will be for me to add support to capture the vector image will depend -- there is code now in CHS to grab windows metafile images, which may be sufficient to grab your vector data -- i just haven't fully enabled or tweaked it yet.
The same goes for more advanced image editing tools -- CHS is only going to capture the bitmap data copied to clipboard, not the more advanced internal formats used by programs like photoshop, etc.; so things like transparency will probably be lost.
However, now that the infrastructure is in place, it's likely i will be able to add an option that will tell CHS to capture and paste ALL formats of the clipboard data by in effect saving multiple files associated with each image, and restoring those on paste. I think this should be pretty easy to do and would let CHS preserve all the native data for copy+paste from any image-related app.
what app is it that you are testing vector stuff on?

well I'm using FreeHand which is defunct as a piece of software - but illustrator** works (roughly) the same way AFAIK - I've pasted basic vectors between the two - without problems - so I think windows seem to be able to cope with them...
In fact I remember being very surprised one day when I accidentally pasted part of a vector contour map into a FileHamster comment window - which saves comment/text files - I even have a screenshot of that somewhere :-)
** I actually have a recent copy of illustrator, but after a very destructive install, I removed it and still havent reinstalled it. I plan to install it again but seem to be putting it off until really I need to I guess
