It's been a long time since Clipdiary allowed saving any text you had ever copied to clipboard to a text file (as well as text with images). The new version introduces a new feature — now you can save several clips from the database to a single file. Or, even export the entire database to a set of txt or png files.
Clipdiary supports exporting all types of text data, images and file lists. Now you can keep all your important data in one place, and it will be with you always!

How to paste several clipboard history items together
You may often need to paste several clipboard history items together. The Clipdiary clipboard history viewer window is hidden after you copy or paste by default settings.
To keep the main window on the screen after copying or pasting you should go to the menu File and uncheck 'Hide after copying or pasting' option. You can also press Ctrl+F2 on the keyboard.
And do you remember that you can drag-and-drop clipboard history clips from the main window to the needed document?

Search through the clipboard history
How often do you search through the saved clipboard history?
Do you know that you can use % symbol in the search field as a wildcard character to substitute for any other character or characters in a string?
For example, you can type "john%.com" to find email addresses
johnsmith@hotmail.com
johnsmith123@yahoo.com
johnsmith@gmail.com
That is not frequently used feature, but sometimes it might be really helpful.

How to save clipboard data to file
Clipdiary saves the complete clipboard history for you. You can easily reuse any data you were copying while work with the computer: copy the data back to the clipboard or paste it directly to any application. But do you know, that you can save data to .txt file without opening of some text editor?
You may save to text file several clips together. Just select several clips in clipboard history viewer and follow the above instructions.
The feature may be useful when you collect some data from a web-page and need to put it to one file. For example, list of films you want to visit from large cinema schedule, or maybe several jokes from a big jokes collection to share with your friends later :)
- Pop-up Clipdiary
- Right-click the needed clip
- Choose Advanced->Save text to file from the context menu

Multiselection of clipboard history items
One Clipdiary's new features is multiselection. Users often asked how to delete more then one clip at a time, but there were no way to select several clips in the clipboard history viewer. Now you can easily do this. Hold Ctrl or Shift key and select the clips you need. If you need to select all clips at the page, press Ctrl+A.
Presently you can only delete selected items or export them to txt file. But multiselection opens opportunities to implement new features. For example, we will make an option to paste several clips simultaniously.
Remember, that you can simply clear the complete clipboard history on exit.
You are welcome to download new version of Clipdiary clipboard tool.

Where is clipboard history stored?
Clipdiary saves everything that you copy to the clipboard. The clipboard history is stored in one database file. To see the path to the file open menu File->Options and go to the Database tab.
If you need to store the clipboard history database in some other place, you may do the following:
The copied data is compressed before it is saved to the database. So even if you often copy large images, the database will still have a reasonable size. You do not have to worry that the saved clipboard history occupies much space on the disk.

Control tooltip with the full text of clipboard history item
When open Clipdiary you see the clipboard history items in reverse chronological order. There are 50 clips per page by default. You can config the number of displayed items by yourself
For each clip only the title is displayed, not more than 50 symbols. By the way, do you know that you can give your own names to the clips?
The full text of the selected clip is shown in the tooltip near the clipboard history viewer.
The tooltip is shown for only 5 seconds, than it is hidden and is shown again only after you select the next clip.
Sometimes it is not convenient. If the full text of the clip is little too long you do not have time to read it. So we've added extra keys to control the tooltip

Search through the clipboard history
There is a Search option in Clipdiary. You can search through the saved clipboard history to find the data you copied some time ago.
To do this just type the search condition into the search field at the bottom of Clipdiary's Window and hit the 'Search' button. You'll see only clips that satisfy the search condition.
To return to the complete clipboard history hit the 'Reset' button or F9 key on the keyboard. Selection will be automatically moved to the last captured clip.
But if you do not want to move the focus to the last copied text and need it to remain on the currently selected clip from the search results, just hit Ctrl+F9 instead of the 'Reset' button or F9.
This could be very helpful when you need to find some item and do not remember its text but remember the text of the clip that was copied near the needed one.

Config number of clipboard history items that are displayed per page
When you open Clipdiary you see the newest items of clipboard history. There are 50 clips per page by default. To see the previous 50 clips you should go to the previous page (click navigation buttons '<' at the bottom of clipboard history viewer window).
Users often ask how to change number of clips that are displayed per page. There is no such option in GUI but you can do the following:
Then start Clipdiary and make sure that you see as many clips per page, as you want.
So you can change a number of clips to avoid the need to use the vertical scrollbar in Clipdiary main window.
Now that is the only way to config number of clipboard history items that are displayed per page. We suppose to add this option to GUI in the next versions.
Starting with version 2.8 you can config number of clipboard history items per page in the program options.

Give to clips your own names
Today I am going to describe an ability to assign names to clips.
There were lots of users who asked us to implement such feature, and you can see it now in Clipdiary.
Starting with version 2.4 you can give own name to any clip. So if you copied information that may be needed some time later, but you do not know where to write it down, you can save it in Clipdiary. You give clip appropriate name to find it easier later.
How it works?
1. Copy text to the clipboard. It automatically will be recorded by Clipdiary and saved in clipboard history.
2. Open Clipdiary (Ctrl+D by default, or click Clipdiary's icon in the system tray).
3. Select the item and press F2 on keyboard, or right-click the item and choose "Rename" from the context menu.
4. Enter new title for this clipboard history entry and press OK.
5. Now you see your item with suitable title, so you can find it easily later.
We hope this feature will help you safely store data and easily find it.
