NANY 2012 Release: Ethervane Echo

[Peter 123]

I hope that tranglos is fine and that he will return soon to the forum.

Despite of his absence for a number of months I decided to register in the forum mainly for the same reason mentioned above by Lazy Moon:

I joined this site primarily to express my admiration for Echo.

Searching a long time for a satisfying clipboard manager I finally stayed with Ditto - until I discovered yesterday accidentally Ethervane Echo. It is an excellent program and I would like to thank its developer tranglos very much for giving us such a nice tool. 

My happiness about the software is reduced only by one detail:
The icon of Ethervane Echo all the time disappears from the tray.

Let's resume other postings that reported the same problem:

https://www.donation....msg291658#msg291658 (Lazy Moon)

Here was a statement by tranglos (https://www.donation....msg284457#msg284457):

This (what shows up in the system tray) is entirely controlled by Windows, not by applications. All Echo does is instruct Windows to show its icon in the system tray, but it has no control over how it is displayed (icon, notifications only etc).

I'm not seeing the problem you describe on Windows 7 32-bit. Perhaps the 64-bit Windows treats 32-b it apps in this way, I'm afraid I have no idea.

That's a pity. And unfortunately I must say that I have Windows 7 32-bit and the problem is existing here too. I have also tried both the installed and the portable version of Ethervane Echo. The tray icon disappears again and again.

In the Internet there are a lot of reports that Windows causes such an effect in connection with other software too. I will try to find and to test some Windows-based approaches and if I find a solution of course I will post it here.

- this is Win 7 - it's right. I'm use Startup Delayer - no thouse problem.
Tell me, will continue to develop the program? Best of the sort. Is the author gave up? It is unfortunate if so.

Using this again - what a beautifully made piece of software
Am using it together with mouser's CHS without problems.

I have two queries:
   # can I save sort in a tab - in particular, I'd like saved clips in the "Sticky" tab to show Alphabetically and Ascending (it defaults to by date and descending on restart)
   # can I modify the copy key? e.g. Ctrl+Shift+C? (background: I'm only using EthervaneEcho for one project) - I did look in Settings but might have missed something...

TIA for any help!

well, I figured this one out - in the menu:
Tools >Manage Quick Views (Ctrl+U)

I changed the options in both modes and saved

Didnt have any luck with this one - I see I can save clips in plain text using Ctrl+Shift+C.
But dont see any way of changing the regular copy key combo...

It would be cool if you could attach notes to clipboard items

Grimbly - have you looked at mouser's Clipboard Help & Spell?
https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=1514.0

(FWIW I use that and Ethervane Echo - no problem using both, on Win 7 at any rate)

Does anyone know if there is a place to download Ethervane Echo?  Trangulos' site seems to be down.

Should be available at https://www.softpedi...-Echo.shtml#download

Thanks!

Let us know what happens if you actually run that

I did. Works fine -- should I be wary of it for some reason, or are you just wondering how it works on a modern version of Windows?
(Seems to work fine on Win 10)

I'm wary of the fact that softpedia repackaged it with an installer and it's not an archive. Just wondered if it installed anything else.

[rgdot]

Don't download many these days but used to often, never had any issue with crap or malware, in old or new downloads, from softpedia.

Today I noticed that an old problem with this excellent product has gotten worse. It has always been the case that after sleeping my Windows 11 computer overnight, Ether fails to capture the first few copies to clipboard. Usually, I just press Ctrl+C twice in a text editor and the problem is gone.

But today, not long after the dreaded Windows Upgrade to its delayed but finally forced latest version, this morning it is not capturing the clipboard at all, even after closing and restarting Ether, even after a manual capture, even after different ways of setting the clipboard text.

I'm hoping you're still supporting this wonderful app and have a suggestion for a workaround. I will try a computer restart and post again if that fixes the problem.

ADDED:

Restarting alone didn't fix the problem, but copying from my text editor using both Ctrl+C and Context Menu, after restarting, was successful in getting Ethervane Echo to capture automatically again.
