- Short: Multi-clipboard support for all programs.
- Author: u3m46@keele.ac.uk
- Uploader: u3m46@keele.ac.uk
- Version: 1.01
- Type: util/cdity
- Requires: OS v39+, 68020 or better
-
- * For a list new features in v1.01 see the end of this text. *
-
- Clipper is an OS clipboard enhancer and manager. It uses the
- datatypes system of v39+ to graphically show you the contents of as many
- clip units as you like. By far the best feature of Clipper is its ability to
- intercept clipboard reads and writes by all applications, and to bring up a
- window showing you the contents of the various clipbord units from which you
- can choose which unit to actually perform the read from/write to. In short,
- all your programs will now support multiple clipboard units and graphical
- representation of clipbord contents. This is really very useful, and
- *greatly* enhances the OS clipboard system.
- A view of the clipboard contents can also be summoned up at any time
- by the user, and in this (and indeed all clip view windows) you can copy,
- move, delete, view or save to a file the contents of any clipboard unit.

- Features...
-
- * Graphical representation of the contents of as many clip units as you like
- using the datatypes system of v39+. Shows any data you have a datatype for:
- text, ilbm, 24bit ilbm, jpeg, gif, sound samples, amigaguide, fonts,
- executables, info files etc, etc.
-
- * Dynamic multi-clipboard support for *all* applications. Clipboard
- reads/writes are intercepted and can be re-directed to a unit of your choice
- from the graphical display.
-
- * View of clipboard contents summonable at any time by hot key.
-
- * Copy, move, delete, view, or save to a file the contents of any clip unit.
-
- * A commodity. Only about 60k program code.
-
- * Fully configurable via built-in GadTools (not MUI ;-) ) preferences
- editor. Change number of clip units you get to see, size of clip unit
- representations etc, etc.
-
- * Fully re-entrant code to allow many clipboard requests and clip view
- windows at once.
-
- * Propper semaphore protection to ensure clip requests complete before (the
- unlikely event of you) quitting Clipper.
-
- * Mentioning of a dead emperor.
-
- See the guide file for complete feature list and instructions.
-
- ** New in version 1.01...
-
- 1) Now really does intercept all programs (except PowerSnap) because Clipper
- now notices clipboard reads/writes done using SendIO as well as DoIO.
- 2) Open clip view windows notice when clipboard contents are changed either
- by user activity in another ckip view window or by an applcation pasting
- data to the clipboard. Changed units are refreshed to reflect the new
- contents in all open clip view windows.
- 3) A few small things to aid ease of use e.g. more hot keys. See the guide
- file.
