Would it be possible to show an indicator for the content type of items in the clipboard history window? For example, Pastebot shows a small label like TXT, RTF, JPG, etc.; Keyboard Maestro shows a fancy A for RTF, a less fancy A for plain text, etc.; Gladys explicitly gives the content type like public.html, public.rtf, public.utf8-plain-text, etc.
It seems like a helpful way to know what I might be able to or need to do with a given item.
Sorry if I missed if this is already possible.
problem would be, the clipboard usually contains many different types so it can paste the plaintext in a texteditor, the rtf in a rich text editor, the html in an app capable of rendering it, a file in a file browser, etc.
Would you want to see all content types currently available in clipboard? (basically the target app chooses what fits best)

I was actually wondering about that. I had tested to see if BTT stored all of the types or just chose one.
It might be helpful to indicate at least which BTT is showing the preview. I can sort of tell from the preview some times, depending on what as copied.
If BTT does have access to all the types, would it be possible to have a drop down or something to view which were available and choose which to preview at the moment? This might be helpful for editing the contents in place as well.
yes I think I can add that. BTT tries to guess what type is best for displaying (e.g. pdf, video, rich text)
