Can it capture ALL clips?
« on: April 28, 2007, 01:28 AM »
I think I'm having a problem with CHS and clipboard managers in general.  In Firefox, it seems like the clips don't get captured by the program.  Whenever I Ctrl-C something in Firefox, I can paste it using the normal Ctrl-V, but it doesn't show up in the CHS list.  How come this happens?  It seems like sometimes I will try to capture a clip and it just doesn't show up in the list.

chs has ability to make a sound so you can verify when it captures something -- i find this invaluable and wouldn't be without it.

if you ever find that when you do ctrl+c that chs isn't grabbing it (ie you don't here the sound), try right-clicking on chs tray icon and select "re-establish clipboard chain" and see if that fixes it.  sometimes a program will crash or otherwise disrupt window's clipboard chain, which means that programs which have registered to be notified of clipboard changes no longer get notified.

Ah!  Thanks so much.  I thought it was a problem with firefox where they disabled copying clips to memory or something.  Ok, it works now  So what does it mean to re-establish a clipboard chain?
