The 2008 beta of clipx however does allow one to paste second to last clipboard entry with one key but alas it is a bit buggy so pasting second to last works once, but then it just pastes “v” after that.

Other than that the beta works very well.

I think that it is “the far better version of ClipX” that David Priest mentioned TWO YEARS ago. Sorry. beta is at
http://clipx.org/clipx-1.0.3.9g-setup-x86.exe
or for 64 bit at
http://clipx.org/clipx-1.0.3.9g-setup-x64.exe

But I am having some issues so I will check out an alternative. The GLP clipboard manager does not seem to be very advanced. Hmmm.

Thank you for this introduction. It is a shame that the creator does not supply one because it seems to be a great program.

I just downloaded clipx because it said it was tiny and it is. It is still working in my Win7 64 bit despite having been last updated back in 2005.

But, as well as saving a history, I was hoping for something that would let me have two paste keys, for the last thing copied and the second to last thing copied. I have one minor grip and that seems to be that I seem to have to press the return key after the “CTRL SHIFT V.” I can’t seem to see a difference between the primary and secondary hot key. They seem to do the same thing – both of them open the menu at the same position, rather than pasting anything.

Well it is only one extra keypress. But I may keep looking at the others (there are a lot) to find one that lets me paste second to last with one click.

Thanks again for the review/explanation itself from years ago. Clipx is still going strong.

Our link is working David. We don’t know about the one you are referring to.

Good luck! Come back and share the link when you find it.

Hi, I have been using a far better version of ClipX for many months, the difference is that the “Clip in Use” view has a “Manage” button that allows users to edit and remove entries from the list of clips.
I have just moved onto a new pc and am unable to find the download for the improved version. Anyone got any ideas wher it can be downloaded from?
Thanx
David

Solved my own problem! Apparently something in “save over sessions” clipboard storage was causing the crash. (Could not really determine where Clipx saves clipboard information, probably as binaries in the registry.) I could not invoke a Clipx function from a right-click of the tray icon; it would always crash. A double left-click allowed be to open the configuration menu. Was then able to uncheck “Save history across sessions”, Apply and Exit Clipx. Restarted Clipx and everything was again working normally. (Life is good!)

ClipX is one of my absolute favorite, most useful helper apps ever! Dilemma: ClipX started crashing about four months ago, suspect that it was after an MS patch to WinXP-Pro. Crashes even in Safe Mode with only networking loaded. Any suggestions? I’m beside myself with its loss!
