M8 Multi Clipboard and Screen Capture for Windows 5.0

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

Beneath this clipboard manager's deceptively drab exterior lies a smart set of clip-management tools. Rather than holding one clip at a time, as the Windows Clipboard does, M8 Multi Clipboard can hold up to 25.

If you want to save a particular clip, you can store up to 30 in a single group. From there, you can create up to 100 libraries, each holding 100 groups. The libraries, groups, and clips can be renamed for better organization, and it's easy to move or copy clips from one group to another.

The program's other notable features include built-in text and image editors. The crowded interface makes much more sense after a visit to the help file. We wouldn't recommend M8 Multi Clipboard to PC novices, but anyone looking for a powerful clip manager will appreciate its features.

Publisher's description

From M8 Software :

M8 captures everything that you cut or copy. The last 30 clips are shown in its clipboard area. Move the mouse over the clips and you see them in the viewer. If the clip is text, you see the first several lines and if it is a graphic, you see a thumbnail. To paste back a clip, you click on it. It has two other areas, a palette and a library (see screenshot). Drag clips there to save them permanently. It has a form filling mode. Any clip that is a Web or e-mail address can be used as a bookmark as well as a clip. You can also bulk paste up to 30 clips, spacing them for text, data base, or spreadsheet use.

Version 5.0 adds phone dialing and on board clip editor.
