The Clear History button in History Tool doesn't delete the recent Clips in Ctrl+V Paste mode?
OR
I delete a clip from Ctrl+V Paste mode but it is still there in History Tool ?
The History Tool and the Paste mode are two different components and there clips are independent of each other.
History Tool is meant for history-keeping whereas Ctrl+V Paste mode is meant to show clips contained in different channels of Clipjump. The record of all clips added to any of the channels are shown in a single window i.e.History Tool. On the other hand, clips stored in channels can be managed from the Channel Organizer.


I can't set a Win key shortcut in Settings Editor ?
This is a limitation of the Hotkey control that is used. You can use the ClipjumpCustom.ini along with the right Label to create a custom shortcut for yourself.
Here is an example for creating shortcut Win+K for Hold Clip
[holdclip_win]
bind = Win + K
run = holdClip

    I had the copied the file/folder to Clipjump but when I paste it , nothing happens ?
  • Make sure that what you are pasting is a [FILE/FOLDER] and not it's path.
  • Make sure that you are pasting it in a file manager such as Windows Explorer.
  • Check that the path given by Clipjump's [PASTE MODE] tip exists . This means if Clipjump's tip contains C:\test.txt , then make sure the file exists.


    • What is this 'cache' folder ?
    The 'cache' folder stores all the clips of Clipjump. The folder was hidden in previous versions.
    It contains folders with channel numbers that stores clips for that channel. eg > (clips for channel 0) , (clips1 for channel 1) and so on.
    If you look to backup selected channels, you can copy and store clips[n], thumbs[n] and fixate[n] directory for it though it is usually recommended to stay away from the cache directory.

    I copy an image from Windows Explorer but I don't see it's preview in the Paste Mode ?
    The thing you copy when you press Ctrl+C on an image file in Windows Explorer is the link to the file and not the file's data .
    Similarly here, you are not copying the image but the link to the image file. To copy the image to Clipjump , you have 2 ways -
  • Open the image in an Image editor such as MS Paint. Select a region and then from the Right click menu, select Copy.
  • Use the Copy File Data feature and press its shortcut while selecting the image file in Explorer or any other file manager. You will notice the Transferred to Clipjump and then the (previewed) image will be available on Clipjump.

  • Whenever doing some work in which you are ought to copy duplicate/crap data to Clipboard (Clipjump) , consider using the Pit channel .
  • You can also try Disabling Clipjump if it looks a proper option for you.


    • Can History Tool only store distinct history items ?
    No. The History Tool in Clipjump is meant to keep track of all the clips that were copied to Clipjump with their timestamps.
    If you are looking to free History disk consumption, try sorting the Window with the 'Size' column.


    I see the error "[The preview/path cannot be loaded]" when pasting data from zip file opened in Windows Explorer ?
    This happens because the zip file contents have temporary paths . C:/file.zip/some.txt refers to no browsable location and and so Clipjump is not able to show the contents.


    I get the 'Pit Channel not found' message when I try to use the 'PitSwap' feature ?
    PitSwap as you may know switches to a channel named 'Pit' when it is used. As you probably have not created a channel named 'Pit' , you are getting this error. Go to the channel selector GUI to create a channel named as 'Pit' and you will be OK.


    How do I see a larger preview of image in the History Preview ?
    History Preview window automatically resizes the image contained with its dimensions . You can drag the Preview window from its edges to resize the window with the respective image.
