Miscellaneous Ramblings Review
Charles Moore - 2009.10.26 - Tip Jar

I wouldn't want to get along without a clipboard buffer (a.k.a.multiple-clipboard utility) for production work - or indeed for anytype of text-crunching. I'm absent-minded, and I'd like to have adollar for every time I've copied something to the clipboard to 'park'it for a moment or two and then lost it by copying something else overit.
A clipboard buffer eliminates this unfortunateness by storing ausually-configurable number of clipboard entries that can be retrievedvia a pulldown menu in the OS X menu bar.
Clipboard buffering means essentially sustaining pasteable access totext you've cut or copied, even after you've subsequently cut or copiedsomething else or several something else's, and retrievably storingyour clipboard's history over a user configurable interval
It's also convenient if you're copying several items for pastingsomewhere else. It's a lot slicker to add them to the Clipboard andthen paste them sequentially when you're in the other application thanto do them one at a time by going back and forth. A clipboard buffercan be a real productivity-enhancer.
While Apple has not chosen to build this feature into the Mac OS,happily there are several third-party solutions that do the job verywell. Some examples are Jumpcut (freeware), PopCopy($14), CuteClips 3 $15, trialversion available), LaunchBar(€24 shareware, and much more than just a clipboard manager),and PTH Pasteboard Pro($25, and supports sharing clipboards over a network).
PTHPasteboard Goes Commercial
The one I've been using for the past several years has been PTHPasteboard, the freeware feature-diminished version of PTH PasteboardPro that's still an an excellent basic Clipboard buffer and manager
It's always disconcerting when a software application you've come todepend on suddenly gets transformed from freeware to shareware orcommercial software that carries a substantial registration fee.
PTHPasteboard was once free - but no longer.
So it is with PTHPasteboard, especially since it used to state onthe website (asrecently as 2008): Best of all PTHPasteboard 4 is and has alwaysbeen free. And in2002, it read, 'PTHPasteboard is free and will always be free.'
Not any more. PTHPasteboard's developer, PTH Consulting, a smallsoftware company based out of Flower Mound, Texas, has evidentlydecided to terminate the free version and make the program pure 30-daydemoware, stating in the release notes for version 4.5.0 (09/02/2009 -The program is now at version 4.5.2 and OS X 10.5 'Leopard' has beensupported since 4.5.1):
'Requires: PRO serial number in order to work. Thefree version of PTHPasteboard is not and will not be supported underSnow Leopard. You may request a 30 day demo from within SystemPreferences after install'
The kicker is that the registration fee for PTHPasteboard PRO is awhopping $24.95, which seems mighty steep for a Finder utility in thesedays when iPhone apps selling in a range of 99¢ to $4.99. It'scertainly way more than I would ever consider paying for a clipboardbuffer, which is all I've ever used PTHPasteboard for.
Now, PTH Pasteboard PRO offers a great many more features andfunctionality beyond providing multiple Clipboards (incidentally, sodoes LaunchBar), and if one finds those functions useful, they may beable to discern 25 bucks worth of value in PTH Pasteboard PRO, but Idon't and can't as long as a satisfactory cheaper substitute inavailable.
Some frustrated PTHPasteboard users have been using 'bait andswitch' terminology venting their displeasure at the change on forums.I think that's a bit harsh. The base program was offered for a longtime gratis, and PTH Consulting is completely within its rights takingit commercial - but it's sent me looking for an Open Source alternativethat can meet my clipboard management needs.
Jumpcut Is Free
Happily I've found a nice Cocoa application, Jumpcut, that providesthe clipboard buffering that absent-minded folks like me need - anddoes it efficiently and elegantly.
Mac desktop remote control app. Jumpcut, unlike PTHPasteboard, doesn't do anything other thanthat basic function, but that's all I want or need it to do. It worksvery much like the free version of PTHPasteboard did, giving you theoptions of accessing stored clipboard archives from a menu bar iconpulldown menu or from a palette.
Installation couldn't be simpler; download the application, thendecompress and drag it to your Applications directory. When launched, alittle 'scissors' icon will appear in your menu bar, and whenever youcut or copy a text item, it'll be added to the current stack ofclippings Jumpcut has recorded.
Clippings can then be accessed two ways:
Under the menulet icon, choose a clipping from the Jumpcutmenu.
If you enable the popup bezel in Jumpcut's preferences, you canjust press the hotkey shortcut to activate Jumpcut's floating bezel.(The default hotkey combo is Control-Option-V.) A little window similarto ones used in OS X's Application Switcher and brightness controlswill appear. Hold down the modifier keys (default hotkey for this isthe Control-Option combo) and use the arrow keys to scroll through yourstack of stored snippets.
Clippings in the menulet (left) and accessed with the hotkey(right).
When you select a clipping,Jumpcut will paste it into your application. The clipping will remainon the pasteboard so you can also still paste it normally until iteventually scrolls off the stack. Jumpcut remembers the last clippingyou selected and moves it to the top of the stack, similarly toPTHPasteboard.
The developer, a former PTHPasteboard fan, began the Jumpcut projectin 2002, and says development is ongoing, but that releases will beinfrequent now that the basic functionality is nailed down. Reportedly,the program supports MacOS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard', although I'm still running OS X10.5.8 'Leopard' and haven't been able to test that.
Jumpcut 0.63, the current version, requires Mac OS X 10.3 'Panther' or later.Version 0.54 'should work with OS X 10.1 and later'.
