a toggle to pass the clips directly to an(other) editor could be very useful

can you explain how this would work?

What was your thought on my request for an audible alert (option) for stack on/off?

i will add another sound that can be played when doing certain actions like stack operations.

I think the icon is going to do its job well at making them pause to read the messagebox before clicking a button.

With all this image stuff, I figured it was time to pretty-up the other items in the quick paste menu (note also that the clip groups show their proper icons as well):

one thing i want to remind people in case you missed it in the video -- you can edit a clip image file (press the edit button on toolbar), and the edited clip image be the new image used on subsequent pasting.

can anyone think of other features that would be useful for image clips?

Trying a new setting now -- those of you who were able to recreate the server delivering a partial file error, can you try again and let us know if it's still happening?

That's great to hear you got it solved, and thank you for taking the time to let us know how -- i'll bet that will help someone else too.

But it's troubling that you needed to do that -- perhaps i need to add an additional step to my generic code that decides where to store config files based on the operating system, which actually confirms that files can be saved where it decides it should save them.

the "100%" toggle there works wonderfully but always says "100%"

Ok try the latest beta, see if it's better now.

As for the aspect ratio, capture a really tall and thin, and a short and wide image to clipboard, then try changing between "preserve" and "full stretch" (option is in quick paste popup tab) as you show the quick paste popup menu.

Here's what you should see:

Preserve Aspect Ratio:


Minor Stretch:


Full Stretch:

New beta version is up with the changes to image clip titles/menu captions.
(note that older clip images will show "incorrect" titles/captions, but that you can now edit image clip titles to customize them).

In the options there is a tab for "Hotkeys", there you can enable, disable, and add new hotkey triggers to your heart's content

A minor warning to users of the beta -- it's quite likely certain i will change some things about how clip images are presented/titled/etc, so don't spend time creating image clips that you want to be permanent in your collection just yet.


For example, I am now changing it so that the caption for image clip menu items is taken directly from the editable clip "Title", which will from now on be initialized by default to what it is now ("From APPNAME - WIDTHxHEIGHT (SIZEkb)").  In this way you will be able to edit the title of clip images manually later to give them custom menu captions.

Do people with standing desks ever use anti-fatigue mats? I have one in my kitchen and it makes a world of difference in terms of easing pain on feet from standing for a long time.

that's easy enough to do.
though note that it won't "prompt" you to enter a title each time you copy an image, but it would let you add titles to image clips.  is that really going to be useful?  maybe i could change filename to title too.

glad to hear it's so useful to you.

Again, that's from my own usage, not necessarily a thing of moment for the overall user base

normal text clips have an optional "title" field -- i could make that title visible in clip mode too so users could customize the title.

Which brings up another possible feature i could add -- a full screen/window gallery of all thumbnails in the current group/entire database.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: V2 Beta of Clipboard Help+Spell With Support for Images

« Last post by mouser on April 28, 2011, 07:08 PM »

So here's a question: How useful would it be to show clip images proportionately in the pop-up menus?

Right now the clip thumbnails shown in the popup menu are all stretched to the preset size you have configured for menu display (64x64 by default).
This has the advantage of giving a nice uniform display.

But it does perhaps make it a little harder to identify clips by their size at a glance from the menu (though the actual dimensions ARE listed explicitly).

So my question is, is this something people think is important to have an option for -- an option to size menu thumbnails for clips to preserve their aspect ratios?

« Last post by mouser on April 28, 2011, 06:41 PM »

hi murdock, thank you for the kind words -- i'm glad you like the program 

there is no way to do that now, except to the extent that by default farr can switch from large to small icon mode when you enable +sall in your search, to show all results.

what you are asking wouldn't be too hard to add, but let me pass on implementing it now in favor of some more functional requests in my todo list queue unless a lot more people really want to be able to dynamically turn numbers on or off for different aliases -- it seems a bit of an unusual request.
