In the Preferences there is a "Do not show the Auto-Hide button" checkbox. I've got this preference unchecked so there is a Checkbox visible on the Interface.
I have tried checking and unchecking the interface checkbox, but I can't see any difference in the application's behavior.
I'd like to be able keep the interface visible so I can make multiple pastes.
I've written the developer but his response was non-responsive. He hasn't answered two follow-up emails. A simple explanation would be helpful.
Thanks

3/4 hours a day I am doing this!
Of course I do mistakes - but in 99.9 percent its a spam filter or a blocked mail on server!
Once again:
If enabled the window does not automatically close when inactive or editing archive items etc
(or item is copied)
- of course window closes when you insert item - otherwise it would insert item into itself!

I stated: I'd like to be able keep the interface visible so I can make multiple pastes.
A suitable paying customer response would be: "That isn't possible at the present time, but I'll put it on my list of features to add." End of story
Other clipboard managers are able to perform multiple pastes, so why can't myClippings?

Where the hell is there sarcasm at all?
I just explained it in depth again - extra for you!
Besides that - you can test all my apps without any restrictions for an unlimited time before buying them - if you don't like it - just don't use and purchase it and use other apps…
But really - this unnecessary 'conversation' I do not understand at all!

myClippings does exactly what I need, keep a clipboard history of recent copied text with the possibility of saving clippings from history in multiple archives. I can choose and paste an item from the clipboard history or from any of the archives easily. I can edit clippings, I can create archives and move, organize, and rename archives and clippings in the archives the way I like.
And... it keeps and pastes the clippings as plain text without formatting, exactly how I want and need it. If the developer would ever consider adding a feature that keeps text formatting, I hope he will add it as an option that can be disabled.
I used to use iSnip (does anyone remember that one?), its main features were very similar to myClippings' features. But its development stopped and it had had increasing problems with successive new MacOSX versions and finally stopped working in Leopard. I tried almost any available clipboard manager, even payed for some. But most have too many features that I do not need and that get in the way, or the interface was too elaborate or plain ugly. I am happy to have found myClippings. Finally I can work with text clippings again like I did with iSnip. The main difference with iSnip is that iSnip was mostly mouse-driven in a menu and the preferred way to use myClippings is with keyboard shortcuts. It needed a little getting used to, but it seems appropriate that you can keep your hands on the keyboard while working with text.
One minor point of criticism: Changing between archives with the keyboard (Option-Command-G and then arrow keys) feels a little clumsy. One changes to Archive view with Command-2. Wouldn't it be nice when repeated pressing Command-2 would cycle through the archives?

Clippings are not pasted formatted and no one told you you have to use it, when you like to use a notepad and maybe people (lots of - me included) don't wont to use a menu in the bar (you cant rearrange or drag-and-drop items, it won't stay open to access multiple items, it's hard to archive and group items just with a menu etc. etc.)
Neither a notepad nor a single menu sounds 'ideal' to me - but thats just my point of view :-))
Every (ok - most) app could be better - thats why developer need to listen to their customers - but we need feedback that really has something to do with our app(s), feedback that helps to improve it. But maybe I just don't get your point…

However, I think that myClippings already does this. Copy in the Finder and in the beloved (by me and others) LaunchBar preserves these things, but myClippings doesn't. So it seems that it already does what the poster requested.
With respect to the floating window coming up, I don't know how I'd decide which clipping to paste without having the clippings come forward for my viewing and selection.
So I can't match the poster's issues with actual faults. I am considering buying a license to this, but I'm waiting on mySnippets to see how it turns out....myClippings appears to be a subset of mySnippets.

I just see all this potential to make great apps but you make so many that none ever turn out "amazing" and leader of the class type apps, they are all just one of many in the field doing the same thing, with a different layout. Just me, I would rather a "perfected" app rather than 20 ehh, okay apps.

1. Yes - sometimes - after 12 or 16 hours of coding, answering mails, doing a little PR, visiting lots of website to answer comments etc. I wish for myself I had only one app to care about :-))
2. Lots of my 'so ok apps' are Staff Pick at apple.com, some even Featured Download and for example: I wrote myApps to not only store Serials but also Attachments - long time before 1Password could do that (btw I use it for my own - but not for my serials) or I used MarsEdit for years but always wanted a 'real' HTML Editor - thats why I wrote myBlogEdit and guess what - MarsEdit just learned it - or show me one Clipboard Manager with 'long term memory' or groups that does not crash after 10.000 of clippings etc. etc. etc.
So, there is another CSS and HTML driven app out there for creating Manuals or an easy to use Image Editor for dummies with effects like HDR, Lomo and standard Image Editing tools and annotations for a faire price? Or a Word Processor with integrated Library for all documents for those who don't need Scrivener?
btw - where is another simple Tumblr client (I don't speak of a full featured weblog editor)?
3. From first private beta to first public myTumblr needed about six weeks and two in a addition to become version 1 and one person cant test everything or handle weeks of beta testing - even if I extra own lots of Macs with different setups to test as much as possible - so it has to be released to get possible bugs fixed as soon as possible.
And even if it only took 2 hours - where is the problem?
Show me a 'real' bug! Just one! I am not talking about a feature that may be included in version 2.
Could my apps be better?
OF COURSE :-)
Are they getting better?
OF COURSE!
Do you need to use them?
No. Of course not!

'My clippings' is not something that will cause any kind of stir in the pool of clippings applications already out there. The one feature that should be of upmost importance, is the ability to paste a clipping without formatting. This is not just a 'feature' but should be the first job on the must-do-list. If you open an application and why, why, why - cross your lips repetitively then something is very wrong. Why no formatting removal. Why can't get at your clipping without opening the floating window - ie: from the menu bar. Why have this running at all, why not just have a note pad application open ?

There aren't many features but it simply does what it is supposed to do. There are other similar clipboard apps like ClipMenu which I also like a lot (yeah, it's even free) but I really like the approach of the developer to build small and useful apps for everyday purposes. Anyway, for currently $5 you can't do wrong. Highly recommended.
