Now Scrapbook is an application that takes the concept of the system scrapbook to a new level of power. It lets you create multiple scrapbook catalogs for storing text, graphics, sounds and even QuickTime movies.You can locate catalog items easily and even edit them using the built-in Clipboard Editor.
• Multiple catalogs
Now Scrapbook can store text items, graphics (PICT, MacPaint, TIFF and EPS), sounds and QuickTime movies. To help you manage all of these files, Now Scrapbook allows you to create as many catalogs as you like, and keep multiple catalogs open. You can even move items between catalogs simply by dragging them.
• Editing Files
Now Scrapbook’s built-in Clipboard Editor lets you edit text and graphic items without having to switch to a different application. If you wish to use only a portion of a PICT graphic or reformat a text file, you can do it right in the Clipboard Editor without having to waste time opening another application for editing. You can even save the edited version of an item without altering the original.
• Thumbnail View
Now Scrapbook makes finding your files that much easier by giving you the option of displaying them in a scaled-down thumbnail view. So, if you have many files to sort through, you can often find the one you want quickly using the Thumbnail View.
Here’s How!
• Pasting items from the Clipboard
1) Copy any item to the Clipboard within its creating application.
2) Launch Now Scrapbook (you have the option of creating a new catalog) and choose “Paste” from the File menu. The item is pasted into the catalog and you can name it as you choose.
