exclude coping specific xls
« on: September 29, 2017, 07:44 PM »
I have concluded after a few days of trying, that it is impossible to exclude a specific spreadsheet.
Am i correct?

Yes... Although it's conceivable I could add a function to ignore certain window TITLES in a future version -- is the sheet name shown on the window titlebar when you switch to that sheet?

Yes, Thank you for answering.
Another clipboard manager does just that effectively. "CopyQ". Which I use, but wished I could use CHS instead.
I tried many others that do not accommodate the title, Arsclip, Ditto,Clip Angel.

It wouldn't be hard for me to add title to exclusion functionality; i'll put it on my todo list and try to have it in next version.

That's a pretty flexible exclusion system!

I have discontinued CHS since started using that xls sheet, but greatly miss CHS.
Looking closer as a result of this discussion, I see you have programmed a hotkey parameter to toggle Disable Enable CHS.
Therefore utilizing an AutoHotkey script to send a CHS hotkey that disables CHS only when my xls is active seems to work.
A workaround, occasionally gets out of sync, but I can live with that.

thx for a great program.
