So, I guess one should avoid Intel if currently buying...
352
FWIW I'm not using it very intensively, but it's doing fine so far
353
Uploaded new version which knows how to get image data from the clipboard in more formats.  Try it with your inkscape and see how it does.
You should now see image thumbnails in your quick paste pop up menu and from within the clip grid, etc.
yes, working well, thanks!
354
The files that are different are the svg files.

on the left from folder chs1, right is chs2
Clips look identical when pasted.

This looks to me like Inkscape is titling all 'id numbers' differently. I guess that could be filtered, (please note for me this not so important -- I'm going to save clips occasionally to favourites. Beyond that I wont mind duplicates... Willing to keep checking though if you want: my main machine is down so currently no access to illustrator.
355
Updated with various improvements; support for proper handling of special Metafile data formats. The clipboard format interrogator also now lets you copy single formats to the clipboard -- useful for testing.
I wanted to report that CHS is making duplicate clips from html text copied twice or more e.g. from the forum -- this is resolved with latest release. The clips are recognised as duplicates and only one copy shown on quick-paste list.
:up:

Copying the same vector clip twice is *not* recognised as duplicated clip. When I have some time I will try and look at what you suggest (just copying one format at a time).
356
Is there no content because your browser removed it?  I've seen that happen before.
that's the only possibility I can think of.
Firefox 73.0.1    :( >:(

Did get portable zip elsewhere (Softpedia) and it scanned clean.

EDIT// downloading from the first links (installer or zip) is okay. I clicked on the lower link (Autohotkey 1.1*) and got the warning -- they have a warning though about the warning :-/ which I hadnt notice earlier...

//EDIT
357
Firefox, using what they call "Google Safe Browsing" is blocking the AHK download page (https://www.autohotkey.com/download/1.1/) with warnings, here one:

www.autohotkey.com has been reported as containing harmful software. You can ignore the risk and go to this unsafe site.
also
The site ahead may contain harmful programs
Firefox blocked this page because it might try to trick you into installing programs that harm your browsing experience (for example, by changing your homepage or showing extra ads on sites you visit).

I didnt find much online and nothing on that google page about reporting false positives. I'm presuming the site hasn't been hacked -- I downloaded more recent version 1.1.32.00 and it is no threat according to MSE.  EDIT// sorry bout that: there was no content in the zip file I scanned :-/ will look elsewhere for a portable version... //EDIT
358
I'm not sure why it wouldn't obey the start at startup, option, but I will check.
I have noticed that the new beta is much SLOWER to start, which I have to check out.
FWIW on windows 7 does start on reboot, but very slow as you say

On another note:
sometimes clips are not pasted properly -- a previous clip is pasted. When I look in the Quick-paste list, the correct clip shows top of the list (and pastes correctly when I select it). Has happened a few times (and I'm not using CHS intensively). Will keep an eye out to see if it happens again and if I notice anything in common with the instances.

Glad to hear it might be useful.. I used it successfully today to avoid buying snacks while grocery shopping, but I suspect it won't be very useful in the long run -- the brain is pretty resilient and adaptive and it will find it's way around attempts to trick it :)
I found it helpful yesterday :up:
Yeah, we'll have to wait and see with the long run :-)

I like it so far :Thmbsup:

Can I give an example of use other than just snacks:
I have this habit of diving into the internet when I get home after a late shift. I dont like it because I dont give myself time to come down after the work and the drive. Also this evening, being Friday I'm going to have a beer or two and a snack (but also dont want to rush into that).

Re the app:
I like the interface. I would like it to show notifications with time left, like a countdown timer (see below)-- not sure I'd want a sound when time is up, that would be sort of encouraging indulging then.

EDIT// just in case: I'm not saying I would want it modified for other uses than planned.

^ doesn't have to be just for snacking, could be cigarettes, anything really, I think. Will give it a go :up:

What hasn't been looked it is do both clips restore correctly when pasted somewhere that is supposed to be able to interpret the data?
they look exactly the same when pasted back in Inkscape.
Here three different (should be identical) clips:

Sorry, not sure if that was directed to me, in case, here again two duplicate clips:

Clipboard Help+Spell
v2.47.15 by DonationCoder

I found an issue that *might* be responsible for the double duplicate captures.  Can you download and try the new version and see if it still occurs even if you lower the delay to 200 or so.
:Thmbsup: with delay set to 200 only one clip gets copied.

I still get duplicates if I copy the same vector clip twice:

Code: Text [Select]

Some hashes (lines 5 and 9) are different there, not sure what that means... or why they should be different, but I presume that's to do with the editor involved.

365
So what I'd like you to do is look at the two *seemingly* duplicate entries within CHS and view the database views of the blobs from the interrogator window, and see what's different in the interrogator list of formats for those two clips.

Can you show me screenshots of the interrogator for each of the two clips?

It's EITHER going to be the case that the clipboard blobs are different, or that CHS has a bug in dupe detection.
Screenshot - 2020-02-23 , 07_24_11.jpg

Screenshot - 2020-02-23 , 07_24_08.jpg

only difference I can see there is the milliseconds taken. There could be a difference in the png -- I havent looked for them (from Inkscape they are not shown in CHS).
Will try new version later :up:
366
Mouser, this all just reporting CHS treatment of vector clips -- summary: it appears to work correctly but still saves duplicates.

Testing with Inkscape 0.92.4 (5da689c313, 2019-01-14)

  • With Clipboard Trigger Copy Delay set to 400ms, two clips get copied (1 x Ctrl+v).
  • With the same vector drawing and delay set to 500ms -- one clip gets copied.

Also note: Clips remain duplicated (setting is to update clip)
All clips appear identical when pasted:

Screenshot - 2020-02-22 , 18_32_26.jpg

The only difference in blob info is time taken for the queries. One clip is 0.01kb smaller, other two same size. All have different hashes.
Mouser I cant find where to compare blob info -- you say under the view menu never mind it's under Tools menu. Can I actually compare two clips in this 'Interrogator' -- IIUC I can compare the clip that is selected in the main CHS window and the current clipboard clip. Here the difference between two of those duplicated clips shown above (they both paste correctly):

Screenshot - 2020-02-22 , 18_44_53.jpg

Screenshot - 2020-02-22 , 18_44_50.jpg

  • One seems to have much less formats (?)
  • Both appear to have a PNG -- this is not shown in the CHS 'Memo' pane
  • EDIT// note the blob info of both of these clips is the same in the CHS memo pane -- apart from the milliseconds taken for each step
367
^ thanks mouser. I obviously need to get to know CHS better :-[
368
[Request / rambling thoughts]

nice would be the ability to name image (and vector) clips. Could e.g. then be saved in favourites with clarity as to what exactly it is (often not clearly visible in thumbnail).

Can we actually *stop* image thumbnails showing in the quick-paste menu /sub-menus? Just curious -- I believe I would mostly reuse vector clips from the favourites and would be happy enough to not be able to see thumbnails if they have relevant titles.
369
1,2,4-9 and A are all image files copied from dopus, shown below (21=1, etc)
can anyone comment about images: am I misunderstanding how that works? Can I not simply copy an image file?
@mouser, still nothing shown in most recent alpha for images as per screenshots in quoted post
370
Ok, so what you are saying is you copied something multiple times, and CHS is not figuring out that the clips are identical and should be regarded as duplicates?
I noticed this happening in firefox too, but as you point out, the hashes were different, so I'm guessing that their is something in the blob data that is NOT identical, like perhaps a timestamp.

The solution to this is:

    1. Live with it and don't worry about having duplicate clips in such a case since it won't happen too often.
    2. Wait for rules that would let you ignore blob items irrelevant to the content, which could solve your problem if the timestamp (or whatever) is not the main vector content.
    3. I may add display of hash values for the individual format chunks in a blob so you could ID which one is changing..
not currently a problem for me (and probably wont be in the future), but for reference, here I compare two blobs -- more different than I thought...

371
The vector clips from Freehand shown here are identical:
FWIW the blob info has different hash numbers
372
Can you give me some screenshots to show me what you are talking about regarding #1 and #2?
I only have the ancient Freehand9 on this machine (but presume that that is not actually relevant). The vector clips from Freehand shown here are identical:

1,2,4-9 and A are all image files copied from dopus, shown below (21=1, etc)

373
A quick look at the most recent version:

1. vector clips are being duplicated.

2. I havent used CHS for images of late. I changed default image size to 10,000 and copied a few images under 1MB in size (from dopus). The clips are listed but no images are showing in quick-paste nor in main window. If I copy an image again, I get the 'I'm already in the database' sound.  Am I doing something wrong?
