I like that SoftVoile Clipdiary ( paid or free ) handles IMAGES and TEXT, compared to other clipboard programs that only handle TEXT.
For me, ClipDiary’s ability to review screen grabs, and images where I right-clicked and selected “copy image”, and so on, is critical, and SoftVoile ClipDiary saves those images for me in their database for review immediately and for searching through over days, so I can compare images from now and from way-back.
– I wish ClipDiary incorporated OCR to convert text-in-images to text, which I now do separately.
– I wish ClipDiary incorporated a readily accessible export of it’s database, perhaps to an efficient daily zip file, that contains individual snippet files by date and time, including TEXT and IMAGES as sequential snippets.
Note, free Google Picasa grabs print-screens, so that’s an alternative for some copy-and-paste images ( Picasa does not grab images from the clipboard, however ).
ClipDiary can be treated simple, or dived-into and all it’s many features can be discovered if desired, but it is not necessary to get too involved just to get started.
Aside from my 2 wishes above, I find ClipDiary functional from the get-go, and worthy of digging deeper to find the benefits of features I hadn’t thought I needed, until … I learned to search through images only, or search for only snippets that contained certain text, and then I realize how critical is our clipboard history, something Microsoft has completely ignored.
Microsoft killed Flying Toasters with Microsoft’s own screen blankers, but Microsoft STILL has no clipboard history management?!?
Thank you SoftVoile for a terrific program, now enhance it with my 2 wishes above – OCR, and a zip database of individual snippet files, even if it’s just a daily export.
Is version 6 on the horizon? What other magic were you planning on incorporating?
