Really? Because I downloaded and installed from the link on page 1 of this thread after reading your post on March 11, 2020, 03:54 PM (6 posts above this one) and there's been no further update announcement. Is there a more official thread to get beta release notes and links?

hi djMot
my CHS exe (ClipboardHelpAndSpell.exe) downloaded from that link is dated 2020-03-11 21:45
Version number is 2.48.2
(Looking at my troubleshooting log, there's seems to have been two versions of 2.48.2)

Could be that it was in your browsers cache and you got an older version that way. Apparently that can happen.

This is probably known but report in case not:
Russian text is saved properly, and does paste properly, but is not displayed correctly in the quick-paste menu:

I'm presuming that's because CHS itself not unicode...

mouser · « **Reply #102 on:** March 15, 2020, 08:05 AM »

Yeah that's due to the old code not supporting unicode. But as you say, the actual paste will be good.

mouser · « **Reply #103 on:** March 15, 2020, 08:07 AM »

New version uploaded. I put in some better code for letting me add new (and update old) built-in virtual groups. You should see a new "Virtual Groups" node in your left hand group tree.

Major new feature, a custom advanced rule system to control what formats get saved:

The idea is that advanced users can use this feature to have CHS ignore formats that are unneeded and take up too much space, or keep a mostly text database with only a few exceptions where you want more formats, etc.

You could either set the default action to be to store all clipboard formats, and then just set a rule for blocking certain ones, or do the opposite, set the default action to reject all formats, and just set a rule to capture the rare ones you care about.

Just make sure you enable the formats in the main capture tab too.

mouser · « **Reply #105 on:** March 17, 2020, 06:42 PM »

Obviously this new feature needs testing and I understand that it's going to be something only advanced users even know how to deal with -- but let me know if you spot anything funky.

The one confusing part is probably that there are now a bunch of redundant ways to tell CHS what formats to capture..
In addition to these advanced rules, you can specify elsewhere to ignore certain common formats and set size limits on those. Those will override any advanced rules.
The main motivation here is that I feel the advanced rules are going to be too advanced for most users, and I still want to give them some control.

mouser · « **Reply #106 on:** March 17, 2020, 07:28 PM »

Minor update: The Advanced Format rule editor now gives you some help in the form of a drop-down list of recently seen and common clipboard formats:

tomos · « **Reply #107 on:** March 17, 2020, 08:32 PM »

With a quick test 'Reject the format' working well here.

The drop-down list is great -- A very minor request:
could most recent sort to the top of the list? Would make them easier to access.

mouser · « **Reply #108 on:** March 17, 2020, 09:12 PM »

Yeah I can do that no problem -- good idea.

And thanks for all the help testing, tomos!

mouser · « **Reply #109 on:** March 17, 2020, 09:16 PM »

Updated.

New version just installed.

Code

:: [ Starting Clipboard Help+Spell v.2.51.0 on Thursday March 19, 2020 at 09:13:07 PM ] :::

I can no longer copy/paste across Remote Desktop. Yes, the clipboard is enabled in the RD connectoid. What setting controls this in CHSP? It's not just the latest version that has been a problem this way. Not sure when it started. This is the first chance I've had to sit down and report it.

Thanks.

mouser · « **Reply #111 on:** March 20, 2020, 02:44 AM »

I don't think there is anything in CHS that effects this.. I wonder if its your remote desktop tool or a security app doing it?

mouser · « **Reply #112 on:** March 30, 2020, 11:15 PM »

v2.52.1 alpha uploaded:

[MajorFeature] Advanced format rule system to let you customize rules for which clipboard formats to save or reject according to format, source app, size, etc.
[Feature] New option to create backups on new version upgrade.
[Feature] You can now set direction of stack pop operation (forward or backward in history).
[Feature] Advance rules can now specify to ignore hash on certain formats.

mouser · « **Reply #113 on:** March 31, 2020, 09:47 PM »

I'm still getting a very rare bug where it something goes wrong with the display updating, and clicking on a new clip does not show its details, and the most recent clip doesn't show up on the quick pop-up menu. Only a restart of CHS seems to fix it.
I'm trying hard to track it down..

[EDIT: I'm hopeful that I may have found the problem.]

this works for the inkscape vector clips

I set CHS to ignore the inkscape svg (image/x-inkscape-svg) hash, now duplicates are recognised as such. (If I modify the object slightly it is recognised as a new clip

)

Here the description of the problem in an earlier post:

Quote from: tomos on March 09, 2020, 06:51 PM

The [format/s] that are different are the svg [formats].

[attachment 1 not found]

[attachment 2 not found]

on the left from folder chs1, right is chs2
Clips look identical when pasted.

This looks to me like Inkscape is titling all 'id numbers' differently. I guess that could be filtered, (please note for me this not so important -- I'm going to save clips occasionally to favourites. Beyond that I wont mind duplicates... Willing to keep checking though if you want: my main machine is down so currently no access to illustrator.

2.54.1 updated
Some minor fixes.

mouser · « **Reply #116 on:** April 02, 2020, 09:59 PM »

Let me know if you spot any bad behavior in the latest version.

mouser · « **Reply #117 on:** April 06, 2020, 01:47 AM »

Any reports on the latest version?

I have nothing useful to offer here except the suggestion that, like Mary Poppins, it must be Practically Perfect In Every Way.

I'm using the latest alpha version.
When I tried to resize the main window, it keeps showing me this error.

Note:
I used Reso to run another software.
I tried to clean reinstall CHS but it doesn't work.

mouser · « **Reply #120 on:** July 16, 2020, 02:29 AM »

lis it reproducible? i will try top see if i can reproduce it. if i can reproduce i can fix I'm just not sure whythe new version would introduce this.

markfoley · « **Reply #121 on:** February 02, 2023, 06:51 AM »

Hi, sorry to necro the thread, but I've been trying to work out why my onenote text has lost all its formatting when pasted with CHS. Is this formatting preservation feature considered live now? Or is it just the portable one still that has this? I did the normal install and can't see anything about formatting.

Hi,
In order to deploy the software more widely, it would be interesting to have a language txt file.
Some panels are technical and not easy to understand the configurations for non-English speakers.
I just bought it (donation) after testing and comparing various software (clipclip, clipmate, clipcache, arsclip ...), and I find it excellent!

Hoping that this project will not be abandoned, as observed, on this category of software (clipboard).

Sorry for my English

Patrick
