Persistent Clipboard

Basic Description

Saves clipboard entries for later use. Keeps the information around across restarts.

Current Features

  • Will not save blank or duplicate (same text twice in a row) entries.
  • Ctrl+Shift+Ins will show the form.
  • Enter or Click on an item puts that item on the clipboard and hides the form.
  • Esc will hide the form without making a selection
  • / or ? then type in textbox to search history for specific item
    • Esc while searching will exit the search
  • Note: If you run an app as an Administrator, you will need to run this as an admin as well to get the data from that app.

Current TODO:

  1. Add context menu when left clicking on item with delete and clear commands.
  2. Configurable number of items in history.
  3. Handle html, rtf, csv text types from clipboard.
  4. Allow user defined static entries.
  5. Support images from clipboard
    1. Processing of images so we are not storing bmps in the file system (?).
    2. Display thumbnail in the list.
    3. How do you search for an image?
  6. Support files from clipboard
    1. What data comes in from the clipboard? Would we be able to get file content? Would we want to?
    2. How do you display that information in the list?
    3. Searching needed for filenames. Search on file attributes?
  7. Support drag and drop
    1. drop items to it instead of saving on cut/copy.
    2. drag from to put back on clipboard and paste into destination application.
    3. Will need to revisit how we show/hide in order to do this.
  8. Allow portable mode which stores data in a subdirectory instead of user profile.
