KAUFI  Great concept, fantastic eye candy. However, don't use it. It's not at all stable, it's never been. Just had a re-try after months and the app crashed on startup, repeatedly. Also, it's heavily bloated and uses too much RAM. I'm sorry to say that this app is far from being mature.

Hint: Clip Menu does most of the features offered here, with less eye candy, but very handy, using very few resources and for free.

DAVIDWB  The developer has released another version of his software that doesn't correct one of its most basic flaws - it is impossible to deregister the software from one computer to use on another. If the developer bothered to communicate with his users this might not be a problem but he does not. So I've spent $20 on a program that is permanently registered to a dead motherboard.

CHIEFTED  Well I am very sorry I paid for this.

Bogs down my system to no end (and I am running a MacBook Pro (mid 2009, unibody) 2.53 with 4 gbs of RAM so its not what you would call a slow system) and it takes forever to boot up when I have this program auto start upon log in.

It, by default runs in the 64 bit mode and even changing it so it would open in the 32bit mode didn't solve the slow down/hanging problem.

Trying to force quit this program was useless (thank the gods for Terminal and Activity monitor).

Lots of eye candy within the program but not a lot of use (PTHPasteboard has the same

functionality without the overhead/eye candy).

Steer very clear of this program (and if I could get my money back I would).   
(Version 1.4)

DAVIDWB  Technical support for this program doesn't exist. I've sent three email messages about the problems I've had with this program and gotten no reply. Avoid this developer.

KOBALT  I actually quite like Clips, but after installing the demo, I found that USB Overdrive quit working properly. Seeing I value USB Overdrive more than Clips, I've had to delete Clips - which I managed to do without a single problem, I'd have to add.

Here's where the files are:

/Users/you/Library/Application Support/Clips

/Users/you/Library/Caches/com.conceitedsoftware.Clips

/Users/you/Library/Preferences/com.conceitedsoftware.Clips.plist

DAVIDWB  This is a decent program with an unfriendly licensing system without any warning of the restrictions until after you license it. It is for a single computer only - tied to that computer. If you own more than one computer look elsewhere. I own a MacBook and an iMac and obviously cannot use them at the same time. Even companies like Adobe and Microsoft let me install their software on both computers - they just make it impossible to run the software on both at the same time. I've taken this program off my computer and I'm looking elsewhere. meh

RUBAIYAT  Avoid Clips like the plague, which it strongly resembles. Odd things happened in Finder after I installed it.

I tried it and, after deciding I didn't want it, was unable to get rid of it. It is like a leech except one you can not find and burn off. The only presence is the app icon in Finder which seems to auto launch and thereafter not show up as a running app. You can't trash the app while it is running, it has no uninstall, nor any information on how to do it. You can not Force quit it in Finder because it doesn't show in Force Quit Applications.

I went twice to their site to ask how to unstall it and my postings were simply removed without reply.

Eventually I thought to try Activity Monitor, which found it and quit it so I can trash it. I hope that is the last I see of it. EVER!!! There is another nasty ClipsHelper which I can't find to trash.

Where is that sharpened wooden stake and silver bullet, just in case it comes back?

RUBAIYAT  This is one program that has outstayed its welcome and I can't get rid of.

How do you uninstall it?

INALAOP  I would recommend Clips over most other clipboard managers I've tried. I use Typinator (a great text expander), but it can't handle complex formats. Thus, I was looking for a program that would manage formated clips; that is, tables and combinations of text, tables, and images especially from the Pages word processing program (though Clips can work with all other programs too). In this regard I've tried iClips, Shadowclipboard, and Clipboard Evolved, but feel Clips is the best and is more robust than the others. I've seen some people comment on cost, but you get what you pay for...

One of the best features of Clips is that you can assign an abbreviation to any of your clips that will then automatically paste itself, works much like a text expander. For example, I have a large table I made in Pages and copied it into Clips. I then assigned the abbrevation "pheader" to it. Now whenever I want to paste this into a Pages document, I just type "pheader" and instantly it appears. I have abrevations for all my formated clips and is a great time saver. Clips (like other managers) also offers keyboard shortcuts, but I find these less helpful and less intuitive. Again, I know text expander programs use abrevations, but they can't handle the type of formats I needed.

The user interface is nice and very iTunes-like. I feel it is somewhat more user friendly vs the others, but this is subjective.

When using the program, just remember to turn off clipboard monitoring after you have copied what you want, or you end up with lots of clips you have to eventually delete.

One last comment for powerusers is that this abbrevation function brings up many interesting possibilities if you know how to use Applescript.   
(Version 1.1.3)

DONPERREAULT  CopyPaste Pro will continue to be my favorite clipboard utility because it use's the standard copy/paste keyboard shortcuts. I select "Command C" to copy and "Command V" to paste, plain & simple. If I need to view previous clips I don't release the "Command" key when I press "Command V" and a list of previous clips pops up in center of window. CopyPaste Pro just works, no need to learn new shortcuts.
