Online Manual
CopyPaste Pro is the latest version of CopyPaste and is a complete rewrite and update. CopyPaste has been massively popular since its first release. What has made it so widely appreciated? Usefulness. CopyPaste magnifies and multiplies the usefulness of the humble clipboard.
One of the revolutionary features that came with the Mac in 1984 was the unique ability to select text or pictures, etc, then copy that data into a clipboard, to hold that content temporarily and then paste it in the same application or a different one. The clipboard was used to transfer all kinds of info between programs on the Mac, and later this feature was imitated in many other operating systems.
A few years later CopyPaste was the first application to add multiple clipboards. This meant that more data could be moved in less time. CopyPaste also allowed these multiple clipboards to be displayed, edited, archived and saved through restarts. CopyPaste revealed the untapped potential of the Mac clipboard.
The latest incarnation of CopyPaste has those same underlying abilities, but with this latest version unveiled in 2008 (CopyPaste Pro) a new instantly available window (like the Apple application switcher) that lets you navigate through the Clip History and Clip Archive with a speed and ease that is again as revolutionary as the first version of CopyPaste. An editor called Bean is now part of the CopyPaste Pro ecology. Bean allows you to edit clipboards.
CopyPaste Pro is profoundly simple to use and yet extremely powerful.
CopyPaste Pro Features:
- Multiple (unlimited depending on memory) clipboards available by hotkey, menu, contextual menu, clip palette and clip browser.
- Save all clipboards thru restarts. Never lose an edit again. This alone is a savior.
- Clip History maintains a stack of cuts or copies and even drags.
- Clip Editor (Bean) allows immediate editing of any clip and also is an excellent word processor.
- Clip Archives to keep available info you use repeatedly
- The Clip Browser allows vertically viewing all clips and their contents. Particularly good for pictures.
- The Clip Palettes allow horizontal viewing and access to all clips. Particularly good for text.
- Drag images from Safari directly into the clip history
- Clip Tools to act on clipboard data in dozens of useful ways that save time like: - Email extractor which grabs email addresses from large amounts of text - Url extractor grabs url's from large chunks of text, shorten urls (great for twitter) and many others
- Drag and drop any clip in the clip browser and to/from applications
- Contextual menus to give easy access to the clipboards from anywhere
- With the clip editor open text, PDF, RTF, HTML, Apple Archive and many other file types
- Easy ways to organize and make available all the clipboard data for reuse.
- Many more features built in and more coming....
CopyPaste has been available for over 10 years. Users of those earlier version (CopyPaste+yType, CopyPaste-X, CopyPaste Classic) may be interested in the changes from those earlier versions.

FOULGER Really Great indispensable app but I just wish the clips could be able to be renamed, that would make it so much more useful.

UCE Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the annoying Copy/Paste message I get when I restart? I suspect many have seen it - It's in the shape of a clipboard. | |

CHRISTOPH VOGELBUSCH CopyPaste can be called the father of all Mac clip boards, since it has been around almost since the early ages of MacOS. CopyPaste Pro has come a long way, presenting itself in a new interface. In opposite to it's competitors, CopyPaste offers many different convenient ways to access the stored clip boards, so you can chose which one is best for you. For me every method seems to make sense in a certain setting. My favourite is the double V feature. So when you don't want to paste the latest clipboard all you have to do is press the V a second time and you have access to all Clipboard... The whole storage of clipboards is actually very cool especially since it allows you to edit them, why don't others not support this feature? And there are many more features you will discover for you, that will make your life easier, since copy paste even supports things like extracting eMail addresses from an eMail and sort the alphabetically. Cool huh? Give Copy Paste a try, after all: All others are just clones of CopyPaste.

DON SYKES Ouch - stopped working for me in Dreamweaver - happened before and I was able to escape by getting rid of "plain" clips. This time - no joy. Hope I can find 2.0.7 to go back to. . .

NESSUNO I have been a CP user for about a decade now, but I miss its former absolute reliability. Again and again, CP doesn't copy anything. I'd rather see this basic-basic-basic problem fixed than hundreds of features that no one *needs* implemented.

JULIAN MILLER it sounds like you need tech support. copypaste is very reliable so there is something going on. please make sure you have the latest version and if you still have a problem then get in touch with us so we can figure it out. | |

BRG This is a wonderful product with many copy & paste features that are without equal! And it works well with both OS 10.4 and 10.5. There are also ongoing updates that are very useful.

LUX A worrying development: When I restart my computer [CopyPaste Pro not in Log-in items], and then manually launch the CopyPaste, most of the clips in the current clipboard disappear. Why? Anyone having the same problem?

JULIAN MILLER this is not the place for tech support so write to us if you need a response. go to the copypaste preferences and make sure that 'launch copypaste pro at startup' is turned on there. if that is on you need to have it work at startup so check your startup items. delete the copypaste one in there. if you want it to remember your clips then make sure that is on in the preferences. | |

LUX Right, this isn't the place for tech support. I wasn't asking for tech support as is clear from the content of the post. I emailed the developer about this around the same time that I posted on macupdate. I haven't kept a copy but the developer replied some weeks later.

BURMAYANK You asked for feedback about your newly-added capability shorten URLs from the tools menu in Version 2.0.7. Here's mine: Thank you. But, why didn't you choose "bit.ly" (instead of "is.gd") as your designated URL-shortening application? According to this excellent review of URL-shortening applications, "URL Shorteners: Which Shortening Service Should You Use?" (http://searchengineland.com/analysis-which-url-shortening-service-should-you-use-17204), the application you chose, "is.gd", is significantly inferior to (in rank order) to "bit.ly", "tr.im", "cli.gs" and "Snurl/Snipurl", as well as to four others. It is listed as inferior there because it does not include capabilities for "Tracking Stats" for Twitter traffic (beyond what Google Analytics, etc., provides), and for "Custom Naming". Anyway, whether or not these deficiencies in your chosen URL-shortening application are really significant, it nevertheless seems obvious IMHO that CopyPaste Pro needs to offer the capability of choosing one's preferred URL-shortening application, if it is going to any form of that capability at all. No? Thanks, again.

LEE123 Wow, this is one powerful app. I have been using PTHpasteboard for the last year or so and this app offers more cool features. It is amazing how all these features are packed into such a simple app. I do think PTH has better keyboard shortcuts and also some programming features that CPP does not. This is the first day though and I need to have stable apps that always work. So far though this app has been great. BTW, I have nothing to do with the company that makes this software.

LEE123 I forgot to mention that CopyPaste Pro is an Application while PTHPasteboard is a system preference. This basically means that CPP has a Dock icon while PTH does not.

ANONYMOUS Um the reasons you think this application is better than PTH is the reasons I don't think it is. I don't want it to be an application in the dock. It SHOULDN'T be according to the type of program it is. As far as stable applications, PTH has NEVER been buggy on my computer. Not only that, most of the features that cost money in CopyPaste are FREE, yes FREE in PTH pasteboard. There is a reason PTH is the #1 clipboard utility for the Mac.

LEE123 @Anonymous How do you manage to get so many things wrong in one response? First of all I never mention any reason I "think" copypaste is better that PTH. I also never say PTH is "buggy" or any other negative comment. To the contrary, I mention that I have OWNED and used PTH for a year. Also, I never made an argument that the type of program is a negative or a positive.

ANONYMOUS "First of all I never mention any reason I "think" copypaste is better that PTH. " "PTHpasteboard for the last year or so and this app offers more cool features this app offers more cool feature" "I forgot to mention that CopyPaste Pro is an Application while PTHPasteboard is a system preference" Now why compare those things unless you were claiming one was better? If that isn't what you meant, you need to word your post better.

LEE123 Pointing out differences is not a negative comment. "More cool features" is also not a negative comment on pth it is a positive comment about cpp. get a life

ANONYMOUS *rolleyes* It's obvious to me that you aren't going to admit to what you did. Regardless of what your intentions was, you did indeed do what I posted. You may have no INTENDED to, but that was the outcome regardless. The right thing would have been to have replied to my post say "Oh that wasn't my intentions if that is what you got from my post" instead of denying you did things you actually did. Then you come back and tell *ME* to get a life.. that is large of you. Really, it is. Next time just post what you mean.

ROBOTANK CopyPaste Pro doesn't have a Dock icon. It runs as a background application with access to its features in the menu bar.

LEE123 I dont know what program you folks are using but copypaste pro certainly does have a dock icon and is not just a background process. Yep, right there is the icon in my dock.
