Am I missing something?

Feedback Type:  Commentary

Contributed by: arodney Monday, May 17 2004 @ 12:50 PM PDT

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

I downloaded the demo and it looks nice. But there's one feature of Copy/Paste that doesn't seem to work here and for me, it's critical. In Copy/Past, anything I copy is automatically placed into one of the clipboards so I can conduct a multi-copy and then a multi-paste. In this product, it appears that one has to copy some text, THEN click on the arrow to insert into a clipboard. That's an extra step. Isn't there some way to just copy and have the clipping kept on the fly? Without that, I can't really use the product.

Am I missing something? - Ronald P. Regensburg

There is no need to copy first and then click the arrow to insert a clip in a 'clipping bin'. Just hit the arrow and the selection is saved in the clipping bin. See the manual in the Help menu.

The nature of iClip is that it lets you be selective about what you place in its clipping bins, so it doesn't currently work the way you'd like it to.

In an upcoming version of iClip, though, it will include a feature that will allow you to "record" changes to the clipboard.

Once the clipping is in iclip (simply click the arrow, dragging is not required)
it also resides (temporarily, obviously) in the clipboard and multiple
pastes can be carried out as usual with the keyboard shortcuts until a new clipping is added. Thereafter any clipping can be placed in the clipboard by clipping the 'out' arrow and again multiple pasting can be carried out.
