I’ve got v5.3 which is clean at VirusTotal.
This is v5.4 which has 3 hits at VirusTotal – I’ll pass.
I note that the program is free for non-professional-ish users, so what is special in this giveaway compared to what’s available anyway?

Feedback: Aside from cleaning up the programming as malware and reports at VirusTotal …
I’d like to save ALL snips to files, automatically, so the contents are directly available regardless of the program itself working or not ( such as data recovery on a crashed drive ).
Otherwise, I find the program features and benefits very useful, and I often take advantage of retrieving prior cut-and-past that Windows would have otherwise lost.
I am developing a new habit of copying web data entry while I am writing ( such as here ), in case the web page refreshes, or the browser locks up or crashes, and loosed my typing, then ClipDiary let’s me past from my last save, and just keep typing once I refresh the browser.
However, there are many quirks, and many programming choices made that cause many of the features of the program to be inaccessible to me, for example, I cannot figure out hotkeys to get prior contents, so I just open the ClipDiary window, scroll to what I want, right-click, and select [ copy to clipboard ] then go to the window where I want to paste, and then I paste using Windows controls.
Also, there is quirky behavior where copying, print-screening, and pasting using Windows controls directly, where they seem to hesitate or fail, and I have to repeatedly hitting the Windows controls to get what I usually used to get instantly, and I believe it is ClipDiary doing something, but I cannot figure out what ( a delay or a filter of some sort, maybe saving or writing to it’s database ).
I presume it’s a successful program, but I’ll bet that users only use about 5 features at most ( though different features for each user depending on their needs, and their discoveries within the program ).
I hope the developer fixes the infections/malware/VirusTotal problem, and continues to evolve the program to be consistent and clearly controllable, with all features operating smoothly and seamlessly within Windows – and adds a continuous or on-demand dump of ALL clips to files.
Thanks, but I’ll wait to upgrade for v5.5, presumably.
I hope my feedback is useful and I thank the programmer for participating here so we can help them grow and be most successful.
