- [New] The CopyPaste menu has a new command in the Clip History menu to revert the order of the clips in the History
- [New] The Clips in the Clip Archive (not in History!) provide a "lock clip" command to prevent a clip from being deleted or replaced. A locked clip provides an "unlock clip" command.
- [New] The preferences has a new option to set the key command to show the Clip Browser on doube V. If this is checked you can hit command double-V to locate the Clip Browser with the first Clip selected (without delay). If not checked a simple command v shows the browser (after delay), and the second V selects the second clip.
- [New] The selection of the next clip with the repeated v now works even if the Browser still "hangs" in the fade-in delay. Prior to this version the second v was only evaluated when the Browser was already visible.
- [Fix] KeyCue compatibility, the KeyCue HUD window did not show up when CopyPaste displayed the Clip Browser. Fixed but requires a update to.

- [Fix] Problem that after an unsuccessful copy by keyboard, the next copy did not get through into the Clip History.
- [Mod] You can escape from the Browser called by keyboard without pasting if you type the c key. This also starts turning the browser, but if you release all keys the turning is interrupted and the pasting as well. we cannot use esc key for this, because it calls Front Row. All other keys are either used as hotkeys for the Archive or not practical. So try the c key to abort pasting.

- a new button in the preferences allows to import clipsets from copypaste-x (note that if you have existing copypaste-pro archives with the same name, this command will effectively replace clips in these archives.) make sure to back up any old copypaste archives before using this.
- the floating clipboard icon (if on in the preferences) smartly hides itself if dvd player, vlc, eyetv is in front.
- the preferences now stores the users e-mail and password and compares them at launch time. this makes it necessary to enter the registration information again. exterminator@work still works but will expire soon.
- a new contextual menu which avoids crashes when copypaste is not running. this installs itself automatically, but you should quit mail and safari and start them again. the reason is that the system always makes a copy of all contextual menu plugins in memory for each running program. therefore even if you install a new contextual menu plugin, the old one is used as long as you do not restart every program. thats the reason why you sometimes have to restart the whole computer.

minor📝 Changes
- You can copy directly to the archive from the menubar-menu. Highlight some text then you select an existing slot, the clip goes there. If you let go on the "Copy to Archive:.." parent menu item, you add the clip with the next free hotkey to the Archive. To set a different hotkey for that archive you have to either use the keyboard command-c-# or you can later changed any assigned hotkey from the Clip Browser.
- If you activate the "show browser on command mouse at screen edge" you get the browser with archive view from the RIGHT side and from the LEFT side you get the browser in history view. its a fast way to view the clips. The command-c to return from archive to history and vice versa is still working
- The e-mail comment now breaks the line after 80 characters ( less if the word boundary is later)
- You can edit each clip by holding the command key and going to the menu of history items and selecting it. Doing that will open the clip in Bean This also works in the contextual menu.
- You can reverse the preferences setting to paste without styles on the fly by pressing the option key and choosing the paste from the menu. That means if you normally paste text with styles and you press the option key, it pastes plain text without styles. This works in the contextual menu as well.
- One remark indicated the little triangle is hard to hit in the browser. It is not necessary to hit the triangle if you use the right mouse button, (or two-finger-on-trackpad click). The triangle is there for those who do not know how to locate the menu with right mouse click.
- One new tool is "Open selection in Editor"
- One new tool is "Send selection in Mail"
- One new tool is "Open selection as URL"
- The installer for the contextual menu now removes the old CopyPaste-X plugin along with the previous pro plugin.
- Make sure to install the new contextual menu plugin. The contextual menu plugin is updated as well and has to be replaced to be compatible with the changes above.

minor📝 Changes
- bean (the clip editor) is built in. open via the clip browser.
- IMPORTANT: 1. older versions of Bean and CopyPastePro have to be removed from the Applications folder 2. CopyPaste has to be copied into the Applications folder 3. You have to restart the system (or log out&in) to notify the system of Bean inside CopyPaste.
- the clip browser is off by default and can be turned on in the prefs.
- speedup in all functions.
- in the last version there was a certain delay when using the clip archives with command-# key-combo which caused pasting wrong clips. this should be fixed. the clip archives did not work at all on overwriting existing slots. this is fixed
- bean now is integrated into copypaste (the application bundle), which is a good thing, but (important) you have to take care of three things: 1. older versions of bean and copypastepro have to be removed from the applications folder 2. copypaste has to be copied into the applications folder 3. you have to restart the system (or log out&in) to notify the system of bean inside copypaste. until you do these three things, you have no clipboard editing feature using the built in bean.
- the preferences have been cleaned up quite a bit and the defaults set to be least confusing.
- the "launch at login" now is a checkbox and it simply reflects the system setting and acts on it, which means you see whether *any* copypaste version is registered for start at login. if you disable and then enable the checkbox, you can make sure that the current version of copypastepro is registered to start at login. if you later use the system preferences to unregister copypastepro, the checkbox will reflect that correctly and will not try to re-register copypastepro. that was one misbehavior in copypaste-x.
- also there is a new setting for opening the browser on command-mouse-move-to-screen-edge. this is off by default. the behavior has changed a little, so that you first have to hold down the command-key and then move the mouse. it was quite disturbing to have the mouse at the screen edge and get the browser when you wanted to use the command key for other functions. the behavior now should be satisfying.
- the update mechanism has changed before it worked but put up a status window that sometimes would be behind other windows and need to be dismissed unfortunately leaving copypaste menus all grayed out and people wondering how to quit copypaste.

- the "launch at login" now is a checkbox and it simply reflects the system setting and acts on it, which means you see whether *any* copypaste version is registered for start at login. if you disable and then enable the checkbox, you can make sure that the current version of copypastepro is registered to start at login. if you later use the system preferences to unregister copypastepro, the checkbox will reflect that correctly and will not try to re-register copypastepro. that was one misbehavior in copypaste-x.
- also there is a new setting for opening the browser on command-mouse-move-to-screen-edge. this is off by default. the behavior has changed a little, so that you first have to hold down the command-key and then move the mouse. it was quite disturbing to have the mouse at the screen edge and get the browser when you wanted to use the command key for other functions. the behavior now should be satisfying.
- the update mechanism has changed before it worked but put up a status window that sometimes would be behind other windows and need to be dismissed unfortunately leaving copypaste menus all grayed out and people wondering how to quit copypaste.
🐛 Bug Fixes
- in the last version there was a certain delay when using the clip archives with command-# key-combo which caused pasting wrong clips. this should be fixed. the clip archives did not work at all on overwriting existing slots. this is fixed

Reviews
"CopyPaste Pro: A power clipboard for the power OS X user. Want faster and far more efficient editing? You need CopyPaste Pro for OS X. The improvement in speed when you have repetitive edits to do is amazing. This is definitively a power tool for the power user and gets a Gearhead rating of 5 out of 5."
"Take a look at one of my favorite Mac utilities. It's called CopyPaste Pro. It's a multiple clipboard manager. That means anything you cut or copy gets stored in a library so it can be pasted again later without having to find it and copy it again. That is a huge time saver."
"CopyPaste Pro just sits in the background, waiting to be used, faithfully collecting and storing whatever you've copied or cut, ready to paste the items wherever you want. Despite the lengthy list of power features, the basics are enough to get you started and it's easy to setup and use. Someone called CopyPaste Pro Time Machine for your clipboard. While it doesn't look like Time Machine, it captures and stores pretty much anything you can copy on your Mac and makes it available any time in the future to be pasted."
"If You Could Only Have One Productivity Tool For Your Mac Then Choose CopyPaste Pro."
"CopyPaste Pro is probably the most useful tool that you never knew you needed. Its indispensable features truly enhance the productivity of your day-to-day work."
"CopyPaste Pro the best clipboard app for the Mac. CopyPaste Pro è l'utility più flessibile e potente tra quelle a disposizione sul mercato per fare anche l'impossibile con il copia e incolla: gestisce clip multiple, crea archivi di clip di testo anche editabili, fornisce access agli elenchi con palette flottanti, accetta il trascinamento direttamente da safari, non perde la memoria neppure dopo il riavvio del Mac."
TRANSLATION: "CopyPaste Pro is the most flexible and powerful utility available on the market to do even the impossible with copy and paste: manages multiple clips, creates archives of editable text clips, provides access to lists with floating palettes, accepts drag and drop directly from Safari, doesn't lose memory even after Mac restart."
"CopyPaste Pro is an example of a very flexible application because, unlike other productivity applications, it has so many different uses. The developers have improved on such a basic computer function and the results are genius. The developer of CopyPaste Pro, Plum Amazing, seems to demonstrate this in its other programs – taking simple system programs and pumping them full of oomph and extra features. CopyPaste Pro has really helped me save time and it is a joy to use – simplistic and feature-rich. Some people may think, however, that the retail price of $30 for the program is a little too much to spend on just a simple utility but you'll discover that once you get it, you'll wonder how you ever did without it."
"Essential utility for your Mac. Each time you copy something to paste somewhere else, the item you copy is held in the Clipboard. The problem with the Clipboard inside Mac OS X is it is build to handle just one item at once: wouldn't it be useful if you could pop several items in there, so you could paste them all into the same document or other project file without swapping between apps? With CopyPaste Pro, you can."
"For those who do any kind of writing, CopyPaste-X is an invaluable tool that is easy to learn, and once you start using it, you'll wonder how you ever got along without it."
"CopyPaste: A Godsend For Power Users & Novices Alike. This is a handy-dandy little program. It offers much for the experienced user, but there are aspects of it that would be very helpful to the novice."
"The only utility to which I've remained true is the ever-lovely CopyPaste from the wonderful folks at Script Software (now Plum Amazing). CopyPaste when fired up, offers you 100 clipboards to which you can paste essential bits and pieces of documents, URLs you need and just about anything you want to store and then use again. For an editor working on a Mac it's a little bit of heaven for a mere $21 US."
"I curse Apple for not enabling me to copy more than one item at a time." But praise be to generous programmers. On Shareware.com, I discovered an application that expands my copying capabilities tenfold. CopyPaste's nifty text-processing tools let you shift case, tab, or insert text files, pictures, and sounds into a clipboard – the floating palette keeps track of what's where. Even neater is the clip archive, which drops copied items into a folder on your desktop – fabulously convenient for online researchers."
"You'll find that CopyPaste is wonderfully tiny and, like most of my favorite shareware utilities, it has a shy personality — you can send it away and it will discreetly return at your beck and call."
"Every so often a piece of shareware comes along that makes us wonder how we lived without it -- such is CopyPaste-X, the turbo clipboard utility on steroids."
"CopyPaste X rapidly becomes indispensable"

"CopyPaste has made my life so much easier and I cannot imagine a computer without it. If you are writing a lot on the keyboard and are cutting and pasting this is the right tool for the job. Store all sorts of things like letter headers and addresses to insert at the touch of a key. Very simple to use."
"This (CopyPaste) app is 100% AMAZING and I use its numerous features thousands of times daily – literally. It has been a time-saver, increased work-flow efficiency, and so much more."
"CopyPaste Pro is a true workhorse for me, and my oldest app in constant, heavy use."
"Ich muss mich eigentlich fast selbst über mich selbst wundern, dass ich diese Software noch nicht eher gefunden und im Einsatz hatte. Mittlerweile kann ich mir schon gar nicht mehr vorstellen, wie ein Mac ohne diese App „funktionieren" soll. Also ich gehe jetzt mal von meinem „Arbeits-Mac" aus, an dem ich den ganzen Tag sitze und erst da spiel die Software ihren Nutzen so richtig aus. Im Gegenzug dazu hab ich noch ein etwas älteres MacBook Pro und da fehlt mit die Software überhaupt nicht. Seltsam nicht. 😉 Aber wie in der Überschrift schon angedeutet: „CopyPaste Pro ist sowas ähnliches wie eine TimeMachine für die Zwischenablage." Ich glaube dieser Satz beschreibt kurz und bündig, was die Software leisten kann."
TRANSLATION: "I actually have to wonder about myself that I haven't found and used this software earlier. By now I can't even imagine how a Mac should "function" without this app. I'm talking about my "work Mac" where I sit all day and that's where the software really shows its value. On the other hand, I also have an older MacBook Pro and there I don't miss the software at all. Strange, isn't it. 😉 But as already indicated in the headline: 'CopyPaste Pro is something like a TimeMachine for the clipboard.' I think this sentence describes briefly and concisely what the software can do."
"There is not a day goes by that I do not make use of Copy Paste. Thanks again for a superb utility."
