Is there a unicode version?-lanes1 (April 12, 2012, 03:48 AM)

Welcome to the site, lanes1.  Yes, there is a Unicode build but my build and upload script was borked.  I've fixed it and the download zip should now contain both versions.  Apologies for that.

Website | Download
v1.0.9 - 2012-04-12
    ! My build script wasn't including the Unicode build properly.  The
      install zip file should now include ClipTrap.exe and ClipTrap_ANSI.exe.
      The ClipTrap.exe is the Unicode version.  (Thanks, lanes1)

lanes1:
Thanks a lot. Now it's really handy!  :)

Okay, being as so that you are my favorite coder, I have a couple more suggestions for you. lol

First, let me say, the best thing about this program I think is the light-weight nature of it. Sure, ARSClip and others have all of the bells and whistles, but what is necessary in a clipboard aggregator? I just want something that holds my info through a session and gives me the opportunity to recall previously clipped info. To be honest, maybe I'm not so smart, but ARSclip is just too much. I am too busy to spend an entire day figuring out the intricacies of things that I really don't need. That being said, yours is the first that I have actually used more that a few days without becoming weary of things popping up with my right-click, etc., and it also doesn't interfere with my Autohotkey scripts that are ALWAYS running in the background. Thanks for that.

SUGGESTIONS:

The opportunity to put a simple time-stamp in my delimiter line would be awesome.
The option to show the aggregated text either top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top, meaning most recent clips either being at the top or at the bottom. I am constantly switching in between excel, my calculators, word, and notepad (civil engineering and design), and I do a whole lot of cut/copy/paste. It's a tad-bit inconvenient to have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the stack each time to recall the info from two or three clips previous. It would be easier to just be able to roll the scroll once or twice to get to what I need.

Anyway, great program, I love it.

Great idea.  I'll add this.

Unfortunately, ClipTrap was not designed for this.  In other words, ClipTrap doesn't have any concept of separate clips.  It just takes what test was there before and adds the currently copied item to the end.  That being said, it could just as easily add that to the top instead of the bottom.  However, that wouldn't be something that would be sortable AFTER a piece of text is copied.  It would go something like this:

Current operation:

Clip 1
Clip 2
Clip 3
Clip 4

With "Add to top" setting in place:

Clip 4
Clip 3
Clip 2
Clip 1

If you changed to the new setting after, say, Clip 2:

Clip 4
Clip 3
Clip 1
Clip 2

Does that make sense?  Again, I never designed ClipTrap with the concept of separate clips.  It was designed to accomplish a certain purpose in regards to my last workplace.  As current, it fits a niche in between using a full-fledged clipboard manager and using nothing at all.  FWIW, have you ever tried NirSoft's Clipboardic application?  It may be more suited to what you're after:

Also, check out ClipCube:

I have tried Clipboardic, as Nirsoft has some great stuff for us old school portable and lightweight folks, but with Clipboardic and Clipcube both, again, they offer more than I need. Yours is damn near perfect. I mean, it's clipboard scraps. If I needed something that I would have to search for, it would at least make it to my note.txt before I would have to go digging around in my clipboard utility. Most of the clipboard utilities, I believe, are exercises in programming that end up way more 'functional' and bloated than the author's original intention.

There is an elegance to simplicity, and yours is very elegant. By showing top-to-bottom, I had meant to just have an option such as 'append to top' and 'append to bottom'. You could also address that by having a scroll-to-bottom button that takes you straight to your last clip. But it's your program, I love it, so I'm not going to knock it at all.

Much thanks again.

By the way, by 'append to top' I mean exactly as you have outlined there; not separate clips:
1
2
3
4

or (which would be better for me personally)
4
3
2
1
