Could you divide the clipboard into different channels, please.
When I copied over a button but later want to rename a folder that I had copied from another folder, these things get crossed.
I think the solution is to have multiple clipboard channels. Content clipboard, File names clipboard, etc. So a copy paste operation would stay in its lane always. My folder name would not be affected by copying content etc. To paste from another channel, use Ctrl + Shift + V. From the alternate channel, Ctrl + Alt + V.
I wouldn't be sad about a clipboard manager pane too.
Kind of like Clip Clip or Fastkey's Clipboard Manager. But internal for Dopus, that you could use globally too, if desired.
The clipboard is a shared resource and part of Windows. If we did our own private clipboard like that, you would not be able to copy or paste between Opus and anything else.
There are clipboard manager/history tools for Windows which may do what you need more generally (not just for Opus but for the system as a whole).
When in Dopus, it could duplicate a copy to the Dopus manager and a copy to the Windows clipboard. One for you and one for me. If you're not in Dopus it would also duplicate a copy, but to the Dopus Windows channel.
The Windows clipboard is overwritten cause it's 1995 apparently. But with a global manager the user could choose relative (most recent / current behavior) or a manual absolute choice, which can be toggled to take priority over relative or not.
It's a shared resource and yet there is like ten clipboard managers on the market. You could do it better than they do.
I tried out Clip Clip for a while. They didn't have a dark mode and there was a bunch of annoying pop ups and sounds that I couldn't disable. I got the Fastkeys clipboard manager but it's faster to just retype in the damn folder name than bring up a third party program, even though I have it on speed-dial on a hotkey.
But Clip Clip has a folder tree structure for permanent copied files. That could be really useful, if I could disable stuff I don't need. So I'm not decided on a clipboard manager yet. I would hope GPSoft makes their own instead; with internal channels so that file names stay with file names.
Win + V doesn't work on Windows 10.
I just had an hour of displeasure of sitting through clipboard manager product videos. The tech industry is leading the way in some of the worst cringe on the internet. Just look at this crap. There is literally less value in that video than a google search result. It's using good internet resources for that video to exist. Why is this allowed?
Every YouTube video result states, "the best clipboard manager". I've tried several of them and they were all horrible. So how come they are allowed to state, "the best" ? I like how the world gets cranky over "misinformation" ... until you're SELLING SOMETHING! Then you can say whatever the hell you want and use AI brainrot to content farm garbage to help nobody do anything; and no one seems to care that the internet and every real artist is slowly being destroyed by opportunistic parasites.
"But ma AI tho, cause back in history they invented the printing press and then Henry Ford invented the assembly line, so that means AI destroying peoples' lives to generate cringe content farming is good."
I went through a spell of looking at clipboard managers and used Ditto for a while before settling on Clipboard Fusion. It can also do other things such as removing trailing spaces and formatting. You can also exclude apps so the data from them isn't captured eg KeepassXC.
it also has a dark mode if that's important and it's a lifetime license
Win + V does work on Win 10 but it seems you have to enable it
"App exclusions" looks really useful. You would think password managers have their own dedicated channel for passing data though, to avoid all that. You know, the "shared resource" that makes dedicated channels impossible. Even though open source apps that cost zero dollars have been doing it since copy paste was invented back with horse and buggy but ok.
The auto reformatting looks useful. Ok now I have three clipboard managers on my short list.
Thanks for the tips.
Oh cool. I'm looking at it now.
I'm wondering if there's a file tree str...
