Is there a way to redesign the "title"/information about the copied screenshots, at the moment "Copied from programX" seems like any other copied text:
It is hard to distinguish between copied text and copied screenshot. I think if possible show the screenshot in the whole row and add programX icon at most left like for others copies, this will also unifies how all copies are shown:
I think it would look weird to have the screenshot take the full size because usually it will still very small when keeping the aspect ratio. I think it would cause a weird look with a lot of visual overhead if there is a mix between text items and image items and added app icons :-/
Also e.g. with image files copied from Finder it will show the filename, which imho is quite helpful
A comparative FYI. Alfred uses just the icon of the app and then a fragment of the contents. It puts the icon as far left as possible and moves the numbering (for keyboard access to the right); for screenshots it doesn't show a thumbnail but uses the app icon and details the image and file size:
BTT is showing more content in that we have the time info and icons for functions. I'm more used to Alfred's compact view, but we get more functionality in BTT. One nice feature for Alfred's viewer is preview on hover, so you can quickly look at items without clicking to activate them.
Personally I don't like these compact views, but it would be a good option to add and should be very simple to do. For me knowing the image size would almost never be helpful in selecting the one I want but I think it would be a great addition to the thumbnail. So maybe instead of "Copied From XXX" I could make it say "Image: 100x100, 400KB, from XXX"
@Andreas_Hegenberg The editing clipboard text content functionality has some new unexpected behavior.
The cursor position keeps moving to the end of the text content when I try to edit the text. I think this is related to the new "auto-save" functionality.
For example, if I have this text in my clipboard The capital of France is Paris and I want to change it to The capital of Germany is Berlin, then I get this strange cursor behavior:
I just tried with an email.
If I am writing in bold and I paste from the BTT clipboard as a plain test, the text is not inserted in bold, if I paste with the combination Option-Shift-Command-V it is inserted in bold.
@fortred2 4.958 (uploading) should hopefully resolve the editing issue. It also includes a first snippets / saved searches sidebar - however this is in very early alpha and doesn't support much yet. Will improve it tomorrow.
I'm using 4.959, but I cannot see the snippets/saved searches sidebar is this expected?
Do you think the points in BTT Clipboard Manager Development & Wishlist - #47 by xidiot are worth implementing? I mean for point 1 this is already the case for all other copies besides for the copies made from the clipboard itself.
For point 2 - it will be useful if you search for something, a bunch of results appear so you select one of them, but then realize that the search is too broad and refining is needed, but upon typing everything in the search box is being deleted:.
yes, the action to show the clipboard manager will get more options later this week (positioning, sidebar visibility and specific snippet group to open)
Starting in 4.963, the sidebar for the preview on the right doesn't retain its adjusted width after restarting BTT, whereas it did before. Now it looks like it's using some default.
Are you using splitView.autosaveName? If so, I ran into a problem last week where I needed to also set splitView.identifier, and both needed to be set after the parent view had loaded.
