HORST HILDEBRECHT  iSnip was a great application, but under 10.6 it caused hanging, so it had to be disabled. Do not use iSnip with Snow Leopard.

STEVERB511  Thanks for the suggestion. Rich. iSnip became unusable for me with 10.5.7 and ClipMenu seems to be a good replacement.

FFASS  Ditto the above comment. Was using iSnip for years but it's development is dead. And it's PPC, so it's slow even on my Mac Pro. ClipMenu offers the same features, it's not a PPC app (of course), plus it shows your long snippets via "tool tip" pop-up...really nice. Donated $5 to the developer -- I know I'll be using this application just about everyday.

ALEXANDER KLAR  iSnip 1.4 is unstable under Leopard, as stated before – unless you choose "Disable clipboard history" in the Preferences. After doing so it's a reliable and very useful companion.

ALJUK  This app is awesome. I'm a web developer and can't tell you how useful this is to me. Sometimes it's the simplest things...

If I could request one feature, it would be syntax colouring for different coding languages. But really, that's just an aesthetic consideration.

Keep up the good work.

DAVE DELONG  Hi iSnip users,

iSnip 2 is currently in the early stages of development. I've decided to rewrite the entire thing to take more advantage of some of the tools provided in the OS (CoreData being one of them), so it's "back to the drawing board."

But yes, iSnip 2 is forthcoming (when, I don't know... I do have school and a job to worry about first).

Thanks,

Dave DeLong

BENGLFER  I recently upgraded to Mac OS Leopard, and now the iSnip icon disappears from the menu bar for no apparent reason.

BUDHUSA  wow great news!

however, until then....is it possible just to compile a universal binary update of the old isnip....it works perfectly for me, except for the minor issue of being rather slow.... :(

also...if i may request...keep the new version simple too! isnip's virtue is that it isnt a bloated, feature-filled app with dozens of floating opaque windows...

thanks,

aron

ARS  After updating to Mac Os X 10.4.9 iSnip crashes when starting up. Here is part of the console log:

2007-03-14 10:26:15.042 iSnip[429] CFLog (0):

CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(): plist parse failed; the data is not proper UTF-8. The file name for this data could be:

/Users/xxxxx/Library/Preferences/iSnipDatabase

The parser will retry as in 10.2, but the problem should be corrected in the plist.
