NANY 2010 Release: ClipTrap
skwire:
As of right now ClipTrap overwrites an existing file without any notice. Poof. All the previous clippings saved vanish and are substituted with a new set. User ought to at least get a warning.-nkormanik (October 25, 2012, 12:38 AM)

I'm not sure what you're getting at. If you try to save using a filename that already exists, you will get the standard "blah blah already exists. Do you want to replace it?" Is that not notice enough?
nkormanik:
Very strange you get a warning. I tried twice and didn't get one.
As said, ClipTrap simply silently overwrote the original, and replaced. Poof.
How about the "Append to file" possibility?
nkormanik:
Same result on a different computer. No warning at all. Simply overwrote.

I tested on both XP and W7 and it works for me. Here's a quick screencast I made: http://skwire.dcmembers.com/apps/cliptrap/sc/ClipTrap_01.swf

v1.1.5 - 2012-10-26
+ Added "Append text to..." functionality via the toolbar, File menu,
or Ctrl+D hotkey. (Thanks, nkormanik)
nkormanik:
Append works great, Skwire. Huge and really useful addition to your Cliptrap program. Thanks very much!
I realized the problem with overwrite.... Must include the extension with the name of the file. Sometimes (not sure exactly when or why) all that's necessary to save a file is just the filename, and, say, .txt, is automatically added. Well, if only filename is given, Cliptrap will overwrite the saved file that includes the extension.
So, when saving a file from Cliptrap, very important to type in the filename + the extension. Then if such file already exists, Cliptrap will give a warning about overwriting.
