ClipBoardiSHistory NEEDS YOU!
Are you a handy person with Graphics?
Would you like to design the front-end Graphics for
the next version of ClipBoardiSHistory?
I can't pay because ClipBoardiSHistory is FREEWARE,
but I can give you credits and some advertising on the
Welshware site, boosting your visitor level.
E-Mail me with your front-end (buttons, background, web-banners
or the whole front-end).
A nice splash screen of logo would be great!

FREEWARE APPLICATION

The clipboard in Windows is a small
but very handy feature for storing text-items.

The only problem is....
You can hold only one piece of information
at any one time and sometimes, just sometimes,
I need to "roll-back"
a few clipboard pieces of informatio, but of course, I can't. :(

That's where ClipBoardiSHistory comes in.

ClipBoardiSHistory can keep EVERY piece of ClipBoard text-information,
upto 999 days worth (unlimited items PER day) OR Upto 999 items -
you choose!
with as many clipboard "pieces" as you like,
containing as much information as you like
- that can be retrieved at any time
and placed back into the clipboard with a few mouse-clicks
- literally. It is THAT easy to use.

Features include:

• Works on Windows, including 98SE,ME,Win2k,NT and XP.
• Locale Friendly, works worldwide.
• Checks the clipboard contents for text, every half second (500milliseconds).
• Reboot your machine, switch it off.
  It don't matter - ClipBoardiSHistory remembers !
• Runs in the task-tray, next to the clock
  - one right mouse button click to bring up the options menu.
• Can hold unlimited amount of clipboard-records.
• Can automatically "dump" clipboard items from the
  ClipBoard history that are equal to and over xx amount of days
  (upto 999 days of storage OR quantity of Clipboard items
  (i.e. keep the last 10 items or maybe, that last 999).
  You can change this value!
• Optionally Trim leading and trailing spaces on captured clipboard-text.
• Modify previous captured-clipboard entries in ClipBoardiSHistory.
• Share clipboards over a Local Area Network (LAN)
  or even via the Internet(!)
  (if you Map-Drives correctly,
  you could share the clipboard ANYWHERE in the World!)
  - if you wanted to...
• Optimised ClipBoardiSHistory to be more efficient in data-collecting and checking.
• Pop-up menus throughout for quick access to features.
• Compact ClipBoardiSHistory history data
  (select Clear All ClipBoardiSHistory contents from menu -Compacting only is successful if ONE user is using ClipBoardiSHistory, will fail if more than 1 user is connected to the same ClipBoardiSHistory database)
• Detects more than one instance of ClipBoardiSHistory to prevent problems.
• Share Clipboard information with upto 255 other users on a network. (optional).
• Logs clipboard information by Logged-in Windows-Username ID so
  clipboard entries don't have to be shared,
  but can be via a Tick-Box if you have more than
  1 user on your machine or if you are sharing
  ClipBoardiSHistory with (upto 5) other users.
• Tracks the Application where the Clipboard data was captured.
• Filter by User, Application and Date to get ClipBoard History.
• Security Setup via Windows-Username logged in.
  Can set up ClipBoardiSHistory to allow a networked
  user use ClipBoardiSHistory on a shared database
  but without the ability to perform certain operations
  (such as viewing other user's clipboard contents).
• Speech-Enabled (if sound card is present) and a bit of transparency to make ClipBoardiSHistory look a bit snazzy! :)
• Last 30 text clipboard items captured can be instantly
  placed back into the live-clipboard for pasting!
  (via right-click on ClipBoardiSHistory icon in tray).
• ClipBoardiSHistory can now optionally
  (from the tray menu) detect HTTP/ HTTPS
  and WWW. addresses,
  and automatically open up your browser to go to the web-site/page.!
• Optionally, remove the item from the database
  once a clipboard-item has been used
  via the last-30 items captured.

Here is a Frequently Asked Questions section:

1) Is it necessary to activate ClipBoardiSHistory
every time I turn my computer
on in order to save clipboard items (or records) on it?

ANSWER:
Right click on the ClipBoardiSHistory icon in your task-tray
and select the "Start up with Windows" option so it is ticked.
ClipBoardiSHistory will then start up with windows
on each time you login or start windows.

2) How do I choose clipboard "pieces" to be put on ClipBoardiSHistory?

Everytime you put something in your clipboard,
ClipBoardiSHistory keeps a copy
of it for either a certain amount of days
or a certain amount of items captured.
i.e. you could set ClipBoardiSHistory to capture everything
in your clipboard for the next 999 days or upto 999 items.
When it reaches that limit,
the oldest data is dropped off to fit in the latest,
sort of stock-rotating the clipboard items
so the newest is always stored.

3) How, then, can I see or retrieve items (or records thereof)
put on ClipBoardiSHistory?

You can instantly retrieve the last 30 items
by right-clicking on the ClipBoardiSHistory icon
in the task-tray and then selecting "Last 30 items"
and they will appear in the menu.
Select one of them and it is placed
back into your current windows clipboard, ready for pasting.

Alternatively, you can click on the ClipBoardiSHistory icon
in your task-tray with your LEFT mouse button
to bring up the ClipBoardiSHistory main screen,
where you can select a date/time to retrieve older clipboard items
or you can browse by the application name
that was used when you copied the text to your clipboard,
so you can look at all of your clipboard items from
Notepad or Internet Explorer
- whatever the application was captured in.

Always work on the task-tray icon of ClipBoardiSHistory
- it looks like a newspaper.
