･ Introduction.
The ToScrap 1.2.0 package contains two versions of the application:
ﾃ...ToScrap 1.2.0 (68K) for 68K Macs or, in emulation, for Power Macs.
ﾃ...ToScrap 1.2.0 (PPC) for Power Macs.
･ How to use.
ToScrap 1.2.0 is, mainly, a Drag&Drop application. It works, currently, only with files of type 'TEXT', 'ttro','sfil', 'PICT' and 'PNTG', moreover, if you've QuickTimeｪ installed, it can also read files of type 'JFIF' and 'JPEG' .
ToScrap 1.2.0 copies data from dragged file directly into clipboard without open it. In other words, if you drag, for example, a 'PICT' file on ToScrap 1.2.0 icon, the PICT will be copied into Clipboard, but the file containing the PICT will remain closed. The same for 'TEXT', 'ttro' ,'PNTG', 'sfil' , 'JFIF' and 'JPEG' files.
The data copied can be pasted, naturally, following the usual procedure, but ToScrap 1.2.0 is very useful to check, quickly, the contents of files. For example if you leave opened the Clipboard window then drag a 'TEXT' file on ToScrap 1.2.0 icon, you can read the text, comfortably and fast, without use a word processor...;-)
ToScrap 1.2.0 can also copy portions of screen: simply double click on its icon holding down the command key, then drag the cross cursor, selecting the area you want to copy, at last, finally, release the mouse button.
ToScrap 1.2.0 always attempts to use temporary memory, copying data into clipboard, but during the screen copying this isn't suitable. So if you want to copy very large screen area, you should increase the memory partition size of ToScrap 1.2.0 (through "Get Infoﾉ" from Finder's File menu after selecting ToScrap 1.2.0 icon).
If you drag an item, holding down the control key, after copying data into clipboard, ToScrap tell the Finder to open the Clipboard window. Cool!!
If you drag a file not yet supported, ToScrap 1.2.0 let you the possibility to copy one fork into Clipboard. Cool!!
ﾊ
There's another nice and useful feature: from ToScrap 1.2.0 about box you can gather info about current scrap file, also you can manage some its aspect, specifically clear the Scrap, read the Scrap into memory and put the Scrap on disk.
