Short: Adds a history to the clipboard, v2.2
Author: cmh@augs.se (Magnus Holmgren)
Uploader: roger@daneel.augs.se (Roger Andersson)
Type: util/cdity
This is a program that I thought about writing for a long time (a
year or so! :) before I actually implemented it. I first got the idea
when I had used the history feature of PowerSnap (by Nico François) a
little while. I soon realised that it was a very convenient feature.
The problem is that other programs uses the clipboard as well. The
history PowerSnap maintains only applies to the text that PowerSnap
writes to the clipboard, not the ones e.g. my editor writes. And I
thought that it would indeed be useful to have them in a history too.
Features:
o Easy install, thanks to the standard Commodore Installer
o Runs as a commodity
o Highly configurable
o ARexx port with 40 commands
o Multiple copies can be run at the same time, each watching
a different clipboard unit.
o Pure and therefor residentable.
o Localized (Dansk, Deutsch, Français and Svenska included)
o Uses ASL or ReqTools requesters
o Various filter options, limiting the memory used by the
history
Differences from version 2.1:
o When copying a non-text clip from the clipboard to a file,
then ClipHistory would read innocent memory, and generate an
incorrect (and often a very large) file.
o More tweeking of the ARexx code. Made it somewhat smaller, and
changed some other code to be more tolerant (e.g., stem base
names no longer require a '.' char at the end. If not present,
it will be added).
o Made a few minor fixes to the example ARexx-script.
o Added scaled menu glyphs (OS 3.0+ only), based on source
code from term.
o Date in About requester localized. :)
o The ReqTools file requester didn't open in the right drawer.
