Barbara Florio Graham
Database:
Every time I reboot my computer, ClipMate comes up with a collection on top that is not the IN Box I want. Often new clips are copied into that collection before I realize what's happened. Is there a way to keep the IN Box on top? I also can't figure out how to sort individual clips within collections alphabetically. I have that option selected, but it doesn't seem to work. Thanks!

I just upgraded from version 6.5 to version 7. Now when I start clipmate it doesn't have all the old clips. I tried to rstore as described using FILE, MAINTENANCE, RESTORE, etc. but apparently am pointing to the wrong restore file! The old clips are still there because if I start verion 6 manually it goes back to the old clips. I love Clipmate and have been using it for many years. I have confidence you will help this 70 year old geek. Respectfully, Jim Sapp 407*227-5749

Spellcheck:
ok I have noticed a few misspelled words in the main dictionary of the built in spellchecker, but can only recall one at the moment. It is a frequently used word so it is quite frustrating as it doesn't mark it as incorrect and it somehow negates the autocorrect function setup by clipmates native main dictionary for this word as it is often misspelled. The word is receive, and all its forms received, receiving. If you are a dyslexic typist, which I am, I frequently type this word as recieve, recieved, or recieving ( recieving was the only ) which are all wrong. I have since included the words in the excluded words dictionary, so it at least now flags the words, but it still gives an incorrect spelling as the first correction option, the correct spelling is listed further down, but what pain. Is there a way to modify the man dictionary and remove this error? I love love love this product, but some of the errors I continually get due to spell check is frustrating since i use the spell check frequently. thnak you for a fine product, that has given me years of great service

Database:
For security I use a VMware virtual machine (VM) along with my normal install of Windows 7. I have clipmate installed in both environments. The purpose of VMs is to create a totally separate secure environment that avoids anything in the VM from affecting the host environment unless specifically given permission to do so in VMware settings. Clipmate appears to violate this isolation. Often, but not always, A clip capture in the VM will also appear in the HOST clipboard. It would be great to close this leak. Is that possible?

After installing on a PC at work, Clipmate cannot start up. I get two errors, one saying the database cannot be found (It is looking for it in an admin folder to which I don't have access rights). Likewise for the log file. It is looking for it in a folder I don't have the rights to. I would think it would be a simple matter to just start up Clipmate, go into the preferences, and choose different folders for the database and log files, but Clipmate will not start. Starting with the Shift key down just produces the same errors. It's a Catch-22. How can I get Clipmate to start up so I can change the folder preferences?

I hoped if I could get the macro paste to run from hotkey, it'd work where I told it to start. Ctrl-V into a notepad shows exactly the macro text, but "macro --> quickpaste tools --> Paste Now" feature actually processed the macro commands. It looks like I have 2 problems to solve: What is the correct command to process the macro as a macro, and How can I assign a hotkey to this command to a hotkey?

But the _physical_ height of the taskbar is not large and you end up with teeny tiny icons and clip text that is small (and for me, slightly cut off at its base). Making clipbar rows an option (and scaling the icons) would be great. Still love the program though! Michael

Screen Capture:
Since upgrading to a new monitor, screen capture area does not work on the second screen - it works fine on the first screen. If I try to do a screen capture area on the second screen, I get a white blank screen and cannot see the data I want to capture. When I do a screen capture area on my first screen, it works fine. It used to work fine before I upgraded my first screen when both screens had a resolution of 1920 X 1080. When I upgraded my first screen with a screen resolution of 1840 X 3160, whenever I tried to do a screen capture area on the second screen (1920 X 1080) I get a white screen. If I move the data area to my first screen (3840 X 2160) I can do screen capture area without a problem. I would appreciate your help on this. I have bben using clipmate for more than 10 years and find it an invaluable tool.

Hello and thanks so much for this wonderful program. I've been using it for MANY years and I have a LOT of collections. I need to copy (NOT MOVE) a few clips to a different collection. I understand how to do this but when clipmate brings up the list of (Target) collections, the display is filled and I can (barely) see there are many other collections off the right side of the screen. I feel silly, but I just can't figure out how to navigate to parts of collections that are off the display. I jammed up very badly on a project that is about to expire and this small thing would help me enormously. Thank you! J.E.M.

Would you please create a feature to allow TEMPLATES? If for instance I had a structure with 200 folders that were written for Game1 I would then later want to create a new database the would have the same structure but was written for Game2. I was hoping the structure of an existing database could be exported as a template without the actual data in the categories. This way, endless databases could be created without having to worry about aggrevation and time would be saved.

Errors:
Hello there, first of all, I currently have ClipMate 7, and my desktop computer I have been using it on has Windows 10 Home operating system. About a week after I did a database backup I had several hundred more clips on my Clipmate program that I planned to back up soon, but then Clipmate stopped working and now an error message pops up every time I click to start it up. The error message says: UnHandled Error:Could not convert variant of type (Null) into type (Integer) I restarted my computer several times to see if that will help Clipmate to start up, but so far, no luck. I am not a computer tech guy, so I do not think I could do any complex procedures to fix it, but I hope you know a way that I can fix it without too much trouble.

Screen Capture:
Running on Windows 11 Home, "December 12, 2023—KB5033375 (OS Builds 22621.2861 and 22631.2861)." The "Region Screen Capture" option which I trigger through its associated hot key setting, isn't working correctly. Instead of the old behavior, it now,as it enables selection of the capture, shifts the orientation of the windows on the screen which then results in an incorrect capture of screen content. That in spite of one taking care to carefully select and drag around the portion of interest of the screen showing at the time of the capture. I've had to resort instead to the Windows Snipping tool to acquire correct captures. Thanks for any insights.
