I've just discovered this little helper - Tried the trial and immediately bought the full version from the App Store. Really handy while working with texts (especially with lots of source code). And it is running completely transparent and lightweight in the background after turning of the menu bar item.
Very good.
really great little app, and when I ran into a problem recently with an older version of safari not opening the search queries, the developer bent over backwards to help locate the issue and find a workaround.
This is one of my all time favorite utilities in using a Mac ever since there were first made.
How incredibly useful for someone (like me!) who avoids the keyboard as much as possible, prefering the mouse whenever possible, to simply click Copy/Cut/Paste from here to there.
It is so simple and useful, its embarrassing!
The publisher has also gone to great lengths to successfully troubleshoot a very strange problem on one of my Macs.
They got right back to me and everything is as advertised,Yes it was a mistake on my part to put one star didn't know you could just make a comment. So here is the actual scor.
Today's update fixed a problem of Firefox auto-launching at startup - which I wasn't aware of up until the last couple of days (since I don't restart my Mac so often). Love PopClip. Thanks!
UPDATE: *One* day after I write what's below, the Dev releases 1.23 & Apple approves it. THAT is customer service. Kudos all around to Apple App Review and especially the Dev.
The one star review? Not fair. This little app, even with the 1.22 bugs, totally rocks. Kudos to the Developer for quickly disclosing the bug and working on a fix.
For the record, I'm 'affected' by the bug (Firefox launching, crashing when going to Japanese input method). Guess what?
I bought the App anyway. It's already shaving seconds off mundane things like this: In Twitter.app, highlight a string of text, hit the Search button. STRAIGHT TO GOOGLE. Do not copy, do not open browser, do not paste, do not even pass go.
Pure win. Did I mention I think this should be built into the OS?
5 stars for the great idea, -0 stars for a Developer who knows how to set expectations. Usually I give minuses for obvious bugs & no fix in sight. Not this time!
Leo says check it out.
I looked at this and at first thought, "No, I don't need to pay $5 for a copy/paste utility." Then I looked again and realized how useful it is as an easy shortcut for searching for searching on the web for some particular text. Usually that's a multi-step operation: select text, copy, switch to browser, make Find box active, paste, hit return. With PopClip I select text and click on the web search icon -- bam. Yeah, I can do the same thing with a KeyboardMaestro macro, but the beauty and elegance of PopClip is worth $5.
Be careful with this app. It interferes with system functions resulting in dictionary lookup (right-click context menu) hanging badly, and is incompatible with some other apps, e.g., Snapz Pro X, preventing screen capture of movies. Developer has been aware of the problem for some time, as I posted a review in the AS citing the issue, but has not addressed it. Not as cute as it looks, and not ready for prime time.
Hi, I've just come across this comment here on MacUpdate. I did see your review on the US App Store regarding Snapz Pro and Safari dictionary problems you were having, and I haven't been able to recreate these problems at my end. Please could you send me an email with more details about the issues you are having?
