FZP  The macupdate download link downloads version 2.1.1, at least that's what CPP says by trying to update by the program from within itself. Though the update fails with an error message "can't extract the archive". Besides that the finder info of CPP says version 2.0.9, what's going on here?

Tried it on different Macs from 10.4.11 to 10.5.8  
(Version 2.1.2)

ROBOTANK  CopyPaste Pro used to be great, but lately it's been very unstable for me. It's prone to frequent crashes that seem to occur most often when I'm accessing the clip browser. The real problem is that after the crash, all clipboard history since the last time the app was quit is lost. I'd love to wait around for this to be fixed, but the constant risk of losing all of my clips at any moment is more than I can live with. I'm currently looking at alternatives to CopyPaste. PTHPasteboard Pro seems to be the only one with comparably advanced functionality.  
(Version 2.1.2)

LUX  Version 2.1.2 does now save history through restarts.

However, I have been unable to open clips in history and archives, since installing the latest version 2.1.2 and updating OS X to 10.5.8. Although I had downloaded and installed CopyPaste 2.1.2 I discovered Bean version 2.0.3 in CopyPaste Resources. The latest version of Bean is 2.0.4, released 31 August. After manually installing Bean 2.0.4. CopyPasteI was then able to open clips.   
(Version 2.1.2)

BLUESTAR  Keeps crashing on me after a while...previous version was stable. Reverting... ☺  
(Version 2.1)

LUX  I've posted before about CopyPaste Pro not saving clips copied before restarts when "save clips when quitting" is checked in preferences. I have found that the only way to be sure that all clips are remembered in history is to quit CopyPaste Pro before restart. Here is part of a reply I received from the developer July 3 2009:

"i thought before i check in with peter again on that that i would check again to see if it occurs and strangely enough it i did. so you are correct there is a problem with the history not remembering items copied before a restart. i will let peter know and he will get back to us shortly."  
(Version 2.0.9)

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.  
(Version 2.0.9)

ANDRESKS  Great App, very useful but very slow in the startup....  
(Version 2.0.8)

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.  
(Version 2.0.8)

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. . .   
(Version 2.0.8)

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.  
(Version 2.0.8)

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.   
(Version 2.0.7)

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?  
(Version 2.0.7)

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.

XPLICIT  "Latest non-beta release, version 1.0.9, available here"

What's that about???  
(Version 2.0.6)

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.  
(Version 2.0.5)

DONPERREAULT  Been using CopyPaste for years. I have tried every copy utility available and always end up back to CopyPaste. My favorite feature is that CopyPaste uses the default Copy & Paste keyboard commands standard on all Mac applications. It's not the prettiest Copy utility but it certainly is the BEST.  
(Version 2.0.5)

BLUESTAR  "checks whether LaunchBar is running and recommends to change incompatible LaunchBar settings. " - there is a problem with this. An annoying warning comes up every time I restart the Mac from CopyPaste that says to change the prefernec setting in Launchbar. There are no preference settings for "ClipMerge" in Launchbar!  
(Version 2.0.4)

LUX  Yes, CopyPaste Pro is the best clipboard utility. And I've tried most of the rest. However, a search facility would bring it closer to perfection.   
(Version 2.0.4)

DUNSMUIRWILL  CopyPaste Pro is an absolute necessity for all creative professions serious about optimizing their productivity. It is extremely easy to use “out of the box.” But it brings with it a depth of functionality that will appeal to power users wanting to make their work flow as smooth and efficient as possible. I’ve been using CopyPaste since its first release in the late 1980s. The current version shows how much a great piece or original software can be improved by dedicated, knowledgeable, and perceptive coders.   
(Version 2.0.4)

BROZ  Yeah, it's great. It's the best of the clipboard tools, in my opinion.  
(Version 2.0.4)

MACUPX  CopyPaste has always been and keeps on being the best multiple clipboard for Mac, and the new CopyPaste Pro 2.0.3 maintains its leadership.  
(Version 2.0.3)

GHOLZMAN_MAC.COM  I have been a user of CopyPaste since its inception. And its programers continue to improve its reliability, and functionality. They update so that is compatible with changes in the Mac Operating system.

How many times have you needed to copy more that one item, sentence, paragraph, address, etc? OsX allows you to keep as many documents open as you want. Thus, to achieve the task you go back and forth between 2 or more documents. Wouldn’t it be nicer if you copied all the words, sentences, etc. first and then pasted them into your document. You can achieve this with CopyPastePro. It holds as many copies as you want on a clip board. These remain when you shut down. Thus, you can paste the item all at once and in the format that you indicate, ie, keeping or removing quotes. In addition you have a second set of clip boards for standard items, such as your address, your telephone number or in my case various html markers.   
(Version 2.0.3)

PENGMAN  I've been using this program a LOT and it has proven one of my indispensables. Keeps getting better and better. Excellent support, wonderful program. Two words Ñ get it.  
(Version 2.0.3)

GEO73134  I have used CopyPaste for what seems like forever. I know it was during system 8, or maybe 7 if it was around then. From the beginning and on through the OSX beta testing I have never turned on my computer without using it. Next to the system itself, CopyPaste is used constantly. I can't imagine using my MAC without CopyPaste. During the beta testing, I am sure I drove them crazy with my complaints/suggestions. The bugs are pretty much gone now and I am using it without incident. These guys also make a product called iClock that is just as indispensable if you track time, dates and time zones.  
(Version 2.0.3)

ERNSTMREICHER  I use it from early beta and try a lot of others but always come back to this real Pro....  
(Version 2.0.2)

COOKIE08  This the best works as advertised the context menu makes this the best and fastest and most convenient workflow of all clipboards.

Very stable  
(Version 2.0.2)

MURLYN  I have been using copypaste for years and it just keeps getting better. I run it when I have a lot of copying and pasting to do and need to maintain my clipboard and it works flawlessly. Great job you guys!  
(Version 2.0.2)

SILWIT  I loved CopyPaste with OS 9. Then the developers needed to retool it when I switched to 10.4. They did. Those two versions were better than the many multiple clipboard apps I also tried (especially tried while waiting for CP to be retooled).

I had a bit of conflicts between it and some of the many other constantly-running apps I use, where I had to tweak things a bit. Now that's no longer a problem.

Yowza for my needs and wants, the ability to edit the clips, the many ways to view what's in the clip history palette and in the archive palettes, and the many ways to copy and paste from those palettes!

The new manual is so much better.

CopyPaste was great for my needs and wants to begin with and it just keeps getting better.  
(Version 2.0.2)

CORTIG  The best utility of its kind I have found so far. The clip-browser is by far my favorite, clearly taking it way ahead of the competition.  
(Version 2.0.2)

LEOPOLDBLOOM  A nice update to an excellent app. This is by far the best of all the multiple clipboard apps I've tried.

I'm a little confused, though, as to why the developer released a series of 1.1 betas then suddenly jumped to 2.0. Oh well, it's apparently a free update for 1.x licence holders, though it doesn't seem to say that anywhere.  
(Version 2.0)

BLUESTAR  This baby just keeps getting better and better!  
(Version 1.1b3)

LUX  I've been testing the public beta for a few days now, running OS X 10.5.6 and I have experienced no problems whatsoever. I am pleased to see the return of the vertical clipboard (browser). Unless I've missed something, I would like to be able to drag & drop using the vertical browser with the option to have the vertical and horizontal browsers sticky. Compared to PTHPasteboard, CopyPaste Pro is a very elegant app - as the PTHPasteboard window fills up with clips it looks messy and rather ugly, not so CopyPaste Pro. However, it would be great if there was a search facility (like PTHPasteboard), in CopyPaste Pro which would allow me to search scores of clip archives, all containing the maximum number of clips using a word or phrase. Overall, I like the way CopyPaste Pro is developing - keep up the excellent work!  
(Version 1.1b1)

MUMUG  it don't work anymore after upgrade to 10.5.6  
(Version 1.1b1)

PLASTERPYRUS  What could be better than a rewrite of the best and oldest of the clipboard applications, a bit on the expensive side though considering all the the other clipboard applications out there. Anyway my old application of Copy and Paste still works fine on Tiger which is what I still use, so thanks for all your work over the years!  
(Version 1.1b1)

DENNIS SOIBELMAN  Lost CopyPaste due to HD crash and when I went to Script software for a copy, they suggested the new CopyPaste Pro and with a discount code it was only $20.00.

The program is fantastic and has solved all my problems of multiple pastes and keeping track of past copies on previous clipboards.

The response from customer service was fast and VERY helpful.

A great product when you need multiple clipboards.  
(Version 1.0.9)

OLGAZ  It has some bugs. I'm sure they will fix those.  
(Version 1.0.9)

GLOBETROTTERDK  CopyPaste Pro crashes everytime I try to archive the clip history. When that happens, all recent clips disapear on restart. Visited the support forum and there appears to be a long row of postings listing various problems with crashing, but no replies from the developer.

I tried to submit the text from my crash log to the developer, but the Google Docs spreadsheet keeps crashing!!!

Give me a break.

The clip browser is easier to use than in earlier versions of CopyPaste. For some reason, the preference that places an icon in the dock doesn't work in Tiger. I seem to remember other apps able to do this in Tiger. Maybe the developer should ask around as to how to implement thi feature.  
(Version 1.0.9)

KADAMS9181  I've got some good news to report.

I received a nice email from the developer of copypaste earlier in the week.

I found out the reason why he wasn't responding to my emails. It seems his spam checker thought my messages were spam, thus they were filed accordingly.

As I was angry because I thought he was ignoring my original messages, I warned him in my second email that I would write a negative (but truthful) review if he didn't respond to me. I normally wouldn't have written such a lengthy review, but I felt that he just didn't give a 'Rip'.

In this email I received from him, he explained that they were working on bug fixes that would fix these problems. He also apologized that my email messages were flagged by his spam filter. He was very concerned that I was having the problems I stated in my review.

In my response to him, I told him that I was a reasonable guy and if I had received a response from him, I would have patiently waited for an upgrade. Consequently, I wouldn't have posted that review. (I also recommended that he take a hard look at that spam filter.)

It's nice to know that these programmers care after all.

In the end, he did the right thing by contacting me and explaining things.

After reading this email, I have every confidence that these problems will be fixed in the weeks to come, plus some new features may be added too.

When that day comes, I'll write another review.

However, this one will be much more favorable.  
(Version 1.0.9)

KADAMS9181  This is unbelievable! It has lost an Archive for the third time.

Yes, I have it set to 'Save Clips When Quitting' in the prefs.  
(Version 1.0.9)

DIARBYRAG  Thankyou for the prompt update, working just fine now. ( and apologies, I will use the proper channels in future :-)  
(Version 1.0.8)

DIARBYRAG  Everytime I try to launch CopyPaste Bean opens as well !

think this is a bug ? irritating.....

MacOSX 10.4.11  
(Version 1.0.7)

EDX  i am a big fan of the original copypaste and i don't even use many of the features it has. yet this new rewrite of the program is nothing but junk so far. it is slow, won't consistently copy or paste with mouse clicks (the only feature ever making this worth paying for), and the clipboard hierarchy takes up major screen space for no good reason unless you happen to have extremely poor vision. i've tried nearly every update hoping something would improve but it hasn't.

add the insult of the developer not offering an upgrade price for those of us who helped him get this far and i can't really recommend this to anyone anymore! i'm glad my original version didn't stop working with leopard as others have reported. i would still recommend it to all for whom it functions. i'm not saying the original couldn't be improved, but this wasn't the way to try and do it.  
(Version 1.0.7)

SYHARRIS  While the developer is actively pushing his CopyPaste Pro, some of his other apps languish untouched.

I've been using iClock for some time and have experienced several glitches with it. It hasn't been upgraded in about 2 years. My inquiries regarding that have gone without a reply.

At least I'd like to know whether or not iClock has been abandoned. For some of his customers at least, including CopyPaste customers, the courtesy of a reply from him is too much to ask it would seem.  
(Version 1.0.7)

JOSHP  Program is ignoring preference settings. I unchecked all the "Open Browser..." options, but when I hit Command + double V by mistake, I get the browser window. Since I don't need a browser and I can't disable it, I am going to give PTHPasteboard a try.  
(Version 1.0.6)

LUX  I was quite insistent in my criticism of the new CopyPaste Pro, especially the browser which I thought left quite a lot to be desired when comparing it with using the old version's two palettes. I didn't mention this previously, but I really didn't like the browser at all and how it operated. But after using CopyPaste Pro every day for a week or two, in projects for hours at a time, I have to say now that I am completely won over - it is so fast and along with being able to access individual clips and clip archives from the menu bar, I don't see how CopyPaste Pro can be faulted.   
(Version 1.0.6)

MACZILLLLLA  I am still frustrated with the new CopyPaste Pro. The old CopyPaste was much better. The new browser is so much less efficient than the old version with two pallets. Unfortunately I bought the new version without trying it. Oh well.  
(Version 1.0.6)

BROZ  This might be the best clipboard utility, but a problem I discovered recently makes me think about switching back to PTHPasteboard.

I use Eclipse to develop software. CopyPaste Pro 1.05, 1.06 hose up the contextual menus in Eclipse. The contextual menus in Eclipse are used all the time, everywhere. If you have to fish around for the same command in the menu bar menus, it wastes time.

Eclipse does not work like ordinary Mac applications. It runs under Java and thus does its menus differently. That's fine, I expect some conflicts now and then. What's bad about CopyPaste pro in this case is that there's no way to disable it. Quitting CopyPaste Pro does not solve the issues. The only way to solve the problems in Eclipse is to uninstall CopyPaste Pro. That's not a very appealing solution.

Yes, I contacted the developer, and I've not received a response. I expect he'll get to it sometime. An elegant solution might be pretty difficult to achieve.  
(Version 1.0.6)

LUX  Well you could read my contribution as a crummy review and I could justify it by saying I'd had a bad day, but when I tried to "archive all clips in history" all clips in history were not archived, resulting in the loss of clips which were vital to the project I was working on.

I also referred to my being unable to find the "archives folder" where I am told it should be. I did nothing unusual when I installed copypaste - I just copied it to the applications folder, so why that particular folder was absent I have no idea. I'm also disappointed that yType is no longer a part of CopyPaste Pro.

I agree that the pro version is significantly different from copypaste x and thinking it would be similar has obviously impeded my getting used to using it. I also agree that since I bought this version, the developer has been very responsive to support requests.

I have to say that compared to the rest, and I've tried them all, CopyPaste has always been the best clipboard utility and I'm pleased to see that the developer is serious about its development.

Since installing the update I can report that I am having no problems whatever with CopyPaste Pro.

I apologise for my previous review which was really a lack of understanding on my part and had little to do with reviewing the app.   
(Version 1.0.5)

DIARBYRAG  I apologise to Julian the developer for my harsh verdict in my previous post - it was both hasty and incorrect - I had had a really bad day - but that is no excuse for crummie reviews.

After some very prompt replies and a much improved update in 1.0.5 I have updated my verdict

MACUPX  There is nothing like CopyPaste Pro. Because it is easy to use, intuitive and powerful. The real Mac way. And has been like that since version 1. Top marks!  
(Version 1.0.5)

JULIAN MILLER  Thanks to all the users who helped pinpoint the problem for some users with the contextual menu. Since we did not have the problem ourselves it really helped to have your input.

Also all the creative suggestions have been invaluable. Many suggestions like the vertical browser will come shortly. If many people all want some particular feature then it moves it to the top of the list of things to put in the next update.

We especially appreciate technical input through the feedback menu item in CopyPaste Pro because it goes straight into a database that we see immediately and allows us to track, follow up and respond better.  
(Version 1.0.5)

COOKIE08  Hi Copy paste pro is context menu now working properly since 104. The developer answered my bug input straight away with a new version within an hour fixed the problem of the contex menu causing beachballing and programs quiting.  
(Version 1.0.5)

FOTO555  I was pleased to hear (by phone) from the author of this utility and learn of his concern over what others have recently written with regard to this company's "poor record" of tech support. I can assure all that the author cares deeply about his product working "as advertised" and his reputation as a quality software developer. I believe they are working tirelessly to correct any problems that exist.  
(Version 1.0.4)

DIARBYRAG  Finally got fed up with this program today. in the prefs it has an option to limit the clip history to 10 or whatever, but why is the archive clip not unlimited ? I want to keep lots permanently but only a few temporarily. this is all very unMaclike to me and for that reason it is now in the trash.

unless future versions show some improvement that is where it will stay !

gone back to savvy clipboard, not brilliant but at least I can export my clips as a list and save them where I know they are and I can import them at will.  
(Version 1.0.4)

LUX  Now I can't delete clip archives - deleted archives keep coming back in a jumbled fashion. It is going to take hours for me to sort out the mess created by this app in order to ensure that I haven't lost any of the work I actually managed to get done.

I really wish I hadn't bought this - I think I would like a refund.   
(Version 1.0.4)

MGMU  The Rolls Royce of ClipBoard Historians. Contrary to a previous post, I can say that the developers are always responsive. And following numerous requests from registered beta testers they are promising an improved version of the old vertical pallets will be coming in the near future.  
(Version 1.0.4)

MACZILLLLLA  I liked the old CopyPaste a lot better. The old version had two pallets that I could size the way I wanted. I could leave two pallets open and use them at the same time. Now there's this big pallet that looks cool but is annoying to use. I have to flip it over to see the other pallet. I have to say I'm disappointed after being a long time customer of CopyPaste. I made the mistake of paying for it without really checking it out.  
(Version 1.0.4)

(Version 1.0.3)

DOUGEDDY  I used to use CopyPaste Pro, have written them several times regarding some help in the upgrade process and have heard nothing from them. I will no longer upgrade and have removed it from my system. I will not use products from people who value my patronage so little and do not do me the courtesy to at least let me know they have received my e-mail - using THEIR OWN SYSTEM AT THEIR WEB SITE to communicate with them.  
(Version 1.0.2)

COOKIE08  I have found the new copypaste pro great in leopard have it in several systems works as advertised. I think it is the only one with a proper contextual menu in any app which is one of the best features for power users. You don't have to move the mouse for miles to access a menu bar dropdown.

For those having problems it may be due to some other incompatible extension or Hackie running.

Cheers  
(Version 1.0.2)

LUX  A previous customer of earlier versions, I liked Copypaste a lot - I didn't think I could ever do without it, until Leopard when it became quite unreliable, and I received no response from the developer to my emails. So- I began looking for alternatives - I bought iClip, iClipboard, CuteClips and others, none the perfect clipboard utility. After evaluating pro 1.0.1 for a couple of weeks I'm surprised and dismayed to find there are no discounts for loyal customers, it also seems a tad too expensive, considering ytype is to be a stand alone app.

I am forced to drag ClipPastePro to AppZapper and look for other alternate ClipBoard management software (will post my findings & review).   
(Version 1.0)

MACUPX  If you want the best clipboard for Mac, look no further. CopyPaste was the best for years, and now CopyPaste Pro is even better and native for Mactel. Great work! It will enhance your productivity and you will wonder how you could live without it before. Just try it and see what I mean.  
(Version 1.0)

MBARSOOM  I went to the store and purchased CopyPaste pro. The charge went through Paypal and I have not received any e-mail from store to confirm the purchase. In fact when I log into the store and look at my order history it states that I have not made any purchases. Anyone else with this issue?  
(Version 1.0)

ROY VAN DER WONING  This release must truly be a smack in the face of everyone who has been waiting 6 months for the developer to fix a bug in one of their other applications. Incessant complaints about the developer's lack of support fall on deaf ears as fail to respond to either forum posts or direct emails:

http://scriptsoftware.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=2709

When I consider purchasing a product, developer reputation is every bit as important to me as the actual product quality and the iKey debacle doesn't bode well for a potential customer of CopyPaste.  
(Version 1.0)

ELPELSO  I have been a user of CopyPaste since its inception. This is one piece of software I couldn't imagine going without !!! In fact, this should have become part of OS X for years... Apple, get a hold of these guys, and make them an offer they can't refuse... As for all of you, try and buy this software... You won't regret it !!!  
(Version 1.0)

ESPIRIDION  Copy Paste was the first clipboard I used on a Mac, and I used it for many years.

IIRC there was no upgrade path once it became an OS X application. I purchased Shadow Clipboard and iClip instead, and my search for a great clipboard utility finally ended with PTH Pasteboard. That's the one I use and recommend.

(Version 1.0)

GERBER  Excellent multi-clipboard utility. Unlike many others, CopyPaste does hang when receiving non-standard clipboard data (e.g. Remote Desktop clipboards).

Full support for various text manipulations of the clipboard, access through Dock or menubar or hotkeys, and general stability and trustworthiness are what really make CopyPaste stand apart from the competition. (Even if its text editor and interface seem a little stuck in System 7.)

yType, however, is less well thought out. It responds slowly to auto-correction data, causing erroneous corrections while the typist gets ahead of the machine. Dealing with two capital letters in a row is also problematic. In general, Spell Catcher or TypeIt4Me will do better for auto-correction.

yType remains useful for glossary expansion and auto-expansion of commonly typed words.  
(Version 2.7.5)

LUX  This is simply the best software of its kind. I can not praise it enough. Absolutely superb - I'd be lost without it.

(Version 2.6.3)

JOANNE BERVEN  This is one program I could not live without. I have to use Virtual PC to open and copy information from our parish bulletin. All I have to do is copy the information in VPC to the CopyPaste clipboard, go to my web program and paste the information where it needs to go. I don't have to copy and paste into Word, then save it to my disk and then go back to my Mac and open it and copy and paste into the web program. One step and it is done.

I use it in a lot of other ways and it always saves retyping, etc.  
(Version 2.6.2)

JOAO CARLOS DE PINHO  Because CopyPaste has more features. Because it's more customizable. Because it's a completely functional application, and not an incipient app with lots of disabled functions. In sum: because it's better. That's why people pay for it instead of chosing a free option. It's the same reason why people pay for Word/Mellel/Nisus instead of using TextEdit. If Smart Clipboard did the same things and had the same feature set as Copy Paste, you would be right. But it doesn't, therefore your simplistic 30-bucks-versus-zero-bucks comparison doesn't apply here.

ANONYMOUS  Why would anyone pay $30 for this when there is the freely available Smart Clipboard (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14775) which works extremely well?  
(Version 2.6)

ANONYMOUS  CopyPaste Classic seems to be free:

i.e. $0.00. However one needs to enter

credit card info for this version.

Customer support contact to this site

elicits many weird e-mail notices of

non-delivery...No offense intended but this does not inspire confidence.

LOU SCANNON  I've also been using CopyPaste from day 1, and I couldn't live without it.

The only thing I'm disappointed in is that the system-wide "tag & drop" feature never made it into OS X. I used it all the time in the old Mac OS, and I really miss it.  
(Version 2.5.4)

PACO  i find the memory.

i find this small memory.

this memory does its basic job

of copying

of pasting.

the constant memory of keystrokes.  
(Version 2.5.3)

APPLESIN  "typing logger"

Couldn't that, in theory, potentionally become a security risk...passwords, bankaccounts etc etc.?!...if that log fell into the wrong hands...  
(Version 2.5b3)

RON WEST  Ever since the first release of this for the Mac OS, I have used it and found it to constantly do as advertised! There were a few problems early with OS X... they were short lived. Always I’ve gotten a prompt and reasonable reply to my email sent... In short, it is a wonderful piece of software all who use the clip board often must have. My hat is off to ScriptSoft... please keep up the great work!

FXT  the memory footprint is now small and constant. i find that this application does its basic job of copying and pasting more efficiently (short simple keystrokes) than other competing application. highly recommended.

FXT  i've noticed that the 2.* versions of copypaste have a pretty bad memory leak. letting copypaste run for a few days without quitting leads to real memory consumptions in the few hundred MB range, with the virtual memory consumption a factor of four higher. this was causing excessive swap file creation. the leak occurs on all six of my macs, from powerbooks to dual processor g5s. quitting and restarting copypaste every so often iisnt a valid solution. i hope this gets fixed soon, or else i'll be forced to consider other options.

ABHI  An anonymous reply to PitzzaMacMan's comment:

| Right, you are correct. Any any 3rd party

| software that does use the menu bar does so

| via a haxie which is not suported by Apple

No, it's only half true. Any third party Menu Extra is a hack that isn't supported by apple. However, Status Items are fully supported by Apple, and pretty much do the same thing.

Menu Extra's use less memory, and have more features (eg. you can move a menu extra around by holding the command key and dragging).

But because menu extra's are a plugin, if they have bugs, they will often bring down the system process that manages all of the loaded Menu Extra's (it probably manages other things too). In more rare cases, a menu extra might even cause a "crash loop", rendering all of the other menu extra's unusable.

But status items are fully self contained, and don't have any of these problems. If they have bugs, those bugs will only effect that one status item. A status item can do pretty much everything a menu extra can do, it's just that they don't integrate with the other items in the menu bar, you can't re-oder them, and they aren't automatically installed when you open them the first time, and you can't uninstall them by holding command and "puffing" them like you would to remove something from the dock.

Now that that's cleared up, feel free to ask the developer to put CopyPaste in the menu bar. There's no reason not to, and it wouldn't take much effort on the developer's end.

KTHOM  Been using it forever, works great! No problems here ...  
(Version 2.0)

STUART ZIMMERMAN, PH.D.  When CopyPaste works, it is a powerful and useful tool. However, about every third time I copy a URL into CopyPaste itlocks up and presents the spinning rainbow of doom. If this is corrected in 2.0, I will puchas it, otherwise not.  
(Version 2.0)

PIZZAMACMAN  Menu area is restricted area

re: Comment by X9! - Some info...

I think your wish for moving the icon from the dock to the menu is nearly impossible.

Read some places, that Apple do not want developers access to the menu bar area.

So it might be this issue belongs to Apple, and not the developer of CopyPaste.  
(Version 2.0)

FRANKS  Great application. Saves time and increases productivity if you do a lot of writing. I have been using Copy/PasteX since version 1.0   
(Version 2.0b4)

DOUG  I have used CopyPaste for ages and love it. I've run into some periodic difficulties but nothing major. Each revision has provided ever more capabilites for the program. I like the menu bar icon, and I like having it in the dock.

I am also surprised at the age of the reviews. The author has made numerous and valuable changes.  
(Version 2.0b4)

X9!  This Developer really needs to look at his suggestion Forum, because myself along with others, and I'm sure others have emailed him, have asked him to put a feature in where we can switch the icon from the dock to the menubar, not cluttering our dock anymore....

I, along with others would buy this software if this feature was enabled...I heard something about re-writing the .plist to do this, but who the hell wants to mess with crap like that?

PLEASE, IMPLEMENT THIS! WE BEG OF YOU! Plus yu'll make $30 extra off of people who want the app with this feature....It's a win/win situation  
(Version 2.0b3)

DESMOND R F FOULGER   My problem is that I've had Copypaste since Noah stepped on dry land and have mislaid my serial number. I've sent 3 E-Mails explaining that my serial number is not on their database and whilst I'm not averse to spending $30 - I feel that I am entitled to the $10 upgrade. Okay, I should have written down my serial number - my fault - BUT they should have a record somewhere and my surname is sufficiently unusual, I feel, for them to be able to track it down.

I would really like to hear from these guys AND HEY - IF THEY GO ON HOLIDAY, HOW ABOUT AN AUTO E-MAIL RESPONSE TO LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON?

SHARON  I originally used CopyPaste in OS 9 and waited to move to OS X until it was available. I moved to Panther recently and paniced when I had problems. As usual Julian came through and fixed the problem quickly. I will never be without this program on my desktop or laptop computers. It saves so much time.   
(Version 1.6.1)

ROGER  Its back!

1.6.1 is working great now with Panther!!

Check out this must have utility!  
(Version 1.6.1)

MIKEWELSH  I was forced to live without it, but doing so made me very grouchy. Thanks for the update - now I can return to being my pleasant old self.  
(Version 1.6.1)

ANONYMOUS  Problem: After updating to Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), one or more keys on the keyboard don't work any more (this can include function keys and media keys on the Apple Pro Keyboard).

 Solution: This problem is usually caused by 3rd party applications that are installed on your computer and are not (yet) compatible with Mac OS X 10.3.

CopyPaste-X (which can cause an inability to type a lowercase "c") - according to Script Software, a fix for this is being worked on (until that fix is available, the only workaround is to disable or remove the software)

    
(Version 1.6)

ANONYMOUS  THis may be great, but IMHO, PTHPasteboard is just as good and completely free. Give it a try before spending money on this (though if you're like me, you'll want to give PTH a donation!)  
(Version 1.6)

RICHARD  Can't live without it! As a web developer I am oftern caught copying and pasting text from one application to another. CopyPaste saves me valuable time every day!  
(Version 1.6)

ANONYMOUS  A wonderful program. I was suprised Apple didn't make their own copy and paste better. Well worth the download. I had used the other version for OS9 and I'm happy it's available now.

Beige g3 233MHz; iMac laptop, both with OSX 10.2.6

There's so much that it can get just a bit complicated to use. But it's better having more than enough instead of not enough.  
(Version 1.6b5)

JP  I too have used it since OS 8 days. It and TypeIt4Me are the first two add-ons I do when I customize a new Mac. Wouldn't think of being without it.

SPELL MY NAME RIGHT  i love this product.....everyone on VT complaining about too many features just doesnt have a need for everything it does....this thing is great...listen to the people here...

PHILAJOE  I use this application many times a day. The company is solicitous of suggestions.

Don't know what I would do without it.  
(Version 1.5)

CHUCK COLEMAN  CopyPaste is a must have utility. I have been using it since the OS8 days and it is well worth the money.

I have never seen another utility that I can say this about.

REUVEN  I have loved CopyPaste 4.4.2 and can recommend it to everyone with a 5 star rating. VX is also excellent!
