ClipTX 0.10 - Clipboard to file
-------------------------------

ClipTX appends (plain) text from the clipboard to one of several predefined target files. ClipTX only acts on hotkey or mouse click (no automatic collection). The "Quick save" function (hotkey or click on system tray icon) saves the clipboard text to the default target file.

Some of the settings currently have to be edited in the INI file.

By default ClipTX stays in the SystemTray. /noSysTray mode by command option (in shortcut). 

Getting started
---------------
Run ClipTX.exe 
The window shows the target files (initially only "Default.txt") and three buttons. Test the "Save clipboard" button, and then "Open file".


INI file
--------
After running ClipTX for the first time the file "ClipTX.ini" should exist (renamed from "starting.ini"). Open the INI file with an editor. 
Note: The program must be closed while you edit and save the INI file.
       
Items (for no/yes items: 0=no, 1=yes):

WAVfile        sound for "Quick save" by mouse or hotkey
OpenWith       editor (default is application according to file type)
FilePath       where all target files are kept; default: subdirectory "files"
FileTypes      accepted file types for target files (semicolon delimited),
               example: FileTypes=txt;asm;pb (default: txt)
HotKey         for Quick save
AutoClear      clear clipboard after copy (0/1: no/yes, default: no)
SystrayDclick  double click for Quick save (0/1, default: no, single click)
               (double click mode: single click will show window after short delay; 
               no delay when holding Ctrl key down)

Menu items saved by program:

UseSeparator   ..as defined in file Separator.cfg (0/1: no/yes);
               default: yes (no: only one empty line is inserted) 
KeepWinPos     Remember window position (0/1: no/yes, default: yes);
               no: Window opens at current cursor position
KeepOnTop      keep window on top (0/1, default: yes)
AutoHide       hide window (to system tray) after clicking on a button 
               (0/1, default: no); not relevant in /noSysTray mode
FileDclick     double click on file to save (0/1, default: no)


ClipTX window
-------------
The window is opened by launching the program, and then any time by right mouse click on the Systemtray icon (or left click, if DoubleClick option is activated). Launching again (while in SystemTray) has the same effect. 
Minimize to the SystemTray by click on minimize symbol in title bar.
Click on [x] terminates the program.


Target files
------------
Create (empty) text files in the folder designated by "FilePath" in the INI file. These files are listed in the ClipTX window. One file, marked with an arrow (">"), is the default file, used for "Quick save". 


Save to file
------------
In the ClipTX window "Save clipboard" saves the clipboard text to the highlighted file. Generally, the buttons apply to the highlighted file.
Optional: double click on file name.


Quick save
----------
Left click on SystemTray icon triggers a "Quick save" to the default target (the one that is marked with the arrow). The hotkey does the same.


Hotkey (INI file)
-----------------
Use the keywords Alt, Ctrl, Shift and F1..F12 or letter A..Z or 0..9 , separated by a plus sign. Examples: Alt+Ctrl+M, Shift+Ctrl+F5.
The hotkey assignment is displayed green in the ClipTX window when it was sucessfully registered. 


Separator line(s)
-----------------
The separator is taken from the file "separator.cfg" (including the empty lines).
In addition ClipTX takes care that text snippets are always terminated by CR+LF.
DATE and [TIME] (both upper case) are tokens for date (short) and time. Custom date and time formats are possible through special tokens, see Formats.htm.

The separator function can be switched off in the options menu (arrow symbol). In this case only a single empty line will be inserted.


NoSysTray mode
--------------
If you do not want ClipTX in the SystemTray, make a shortcut with the command option /noSysTray.
