V2 Beta of Clipboard Help+Spell With Support for Images
mouser:
ps. prepare for a change of the way i record image clips that will make you lose all your existing image clips.
I apologize for that but i'm trying to get the database in a good state for expanding to handle not just image but other external file and other data.

That's what beta versions are for. Thanks very much for working so hard on this. It really is appreciated.
Chris, do you mean something like:
Toggle (in options?):
just text / or text with associated data. **
Or maybe ideally it would remember text + formatting etc, but if pasted in another application that cant read associated data, then the text would be favoured?-tomos

Ideally, it would be handled through some sort of profile preferences, and not a toggle as I previously suggested.
If this app, do this
If that app, do that
If none, default to the other
From mouser's posts it seems that his fertile brain is engaged with the 'problem'.
I'm presuming that current behaviour is of no use to you either...-tomos

It's not ideal, no. It is light years ahead of having no image clips, however. Already I can do a great deal with CH+S+I but I'm greedy for more.
The combination of arm-twisting 'clients' and mouser's generous indulgence could well produce something spectacular.
mouser:
There are 3 or 4 pieces to the puzzle:
* Capturing MULTIPLE formats of data for each clip; this could include text, image, ole, richtext, customdata, etc.
* Figuring out best interface to let people browse the multiple kinds of data associated with each clip.
* Deciding how to store this data (some in external files like image files, but some like richtext might be best stored in the database).
* Letting users customize which capture formats saved for different apps.
I'm trying to start with the stuff that is most likely to be useful to the most people -- namely adding image support.
As for customizing per app, i'll probably solve this simply by allowing user to specify a list of applicatons like:
--- ---Photoshop.exe|ole,richtext:ignore
Notepad.exe|*:ignore
*|text,image:save
That would say to ignore ole and richtext format clipdata from photoshop;
Ignore everything from notepad;
Otherwise by default capture text and image data (both)
cranioscopical:
Photoshop.exe|ole,richtext:ignore
Notepad.exe|*:ignore
*|text,image:save

At the risk (nay, on the certainty) of appearing even more obtuse than normal, where will the user find this information, and how will the user discover the relevance of each part?
mouser:
Let's wait till its implemented, but i think there will be a new tab dedicated to it in options with hopefully enough help to make it understandable.
