Maximum Number of Entries that ClipClip can store

Hi

In fact, ClipClip can create and store a lot of the latest clips. We implement the limit for the latest clips (max. 1000 latest clips for PRO version) because of a few reasons:
- You should remember that if ClipClip has loaded many latest/saved clips, then it uses a lot of memory (RAM);
- When a new latest clip is created, ClipClip checks all other clips for duplicates, creates new hash-codes, encrypts a new data, redraws the grid, etc. When ClipClip contains many latest clips (for example 700, 800, 1000), these actions will take some time but it does not affect your work. If there would be 5000-10000 clips, the time of a creation of a new clip will be larger.

Therefore, we recommend do not abuse the max.number of the latest clips. If you do not use some latest clips very often, you can move them to any saved folder. In this case, they will be saved as normal files and loaded to ClipClip as saved clips.
The latest clips are created like in a stack - a new clip is added, the last one is deleted if its maximum limit is reached. This limit you can set in the Configuration window ("Content" tab). If "Auto save latest clips" option is disabled ("General" tab), all latest clips are deleted while ClipClip closes.

Hi,

Your mail mentioned a PRO version. But, I couldn't find it anywhere on the site or the FAQs.

Please could tell me the differences between the FREE and PRO versions and also as to how I could get the PRO version.

I really like the simplicity and look of ClipClip, but the limitation of entries was what made me consider looking at other clipboard managers.

Best,

Also, is there any way that I could increase the number of entries to 5000 or 10000? I don't mind a slower response time.

Hi,

There are many differences between FREE and PRO version. For example, FREE version allows to store/grab only 100 latest clips. Also, the FREE version has a limit for the saved clips and does not support many features. At this moment, on the website, there is available only PRO version.
At this time, we do not plan to increase the max. number of the latest clips.
For the PRO version, you can set 1000 (Configuration window => "Content" tab => "Maximum latest clips stored" option.
To check ClipClip version: the main menu => Help => About.
There is no way to increase the number of the latest clips because it is hardcoded for each version.
If there will be many latest clips (5000, 10000 or more) there will be many other problems. For example, "Paste Menu" contains all latest clips when it is open (although not all of them are visible), this menu supports filtering, searching or selecting clips by numbers. All these features will be work too slowly. "Paste Menu" will be open with a time delay. It does not matter if you use a very powerful computer.

Could you explain why you do not want to use saved clips? If you have many latest clips, this is a good idea to group them and store in the different folders.
Add to ClipClip folder with subfolders (for example: Phone Numbers, Web Resources, ect.) and move the latest clips to these folders using "Drag-And-Drop" operation. In our opinion, it's much easier to find clips if they are grouped.
