ClipX for Windows

Used ClipX for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffNovember 7, 2008

This simple clipboard program captures files copied to the Windows Clipboard but doesn't offer an extensive feature set compared to others in the category. ClipX offers a simple right-click menu for accessing copied items and configuring the program, while a left-click displays recently copied items. Under Configuration, you can specify how many clips the program retains and whether it should ignore text or bitmap files. Default hot keys let you pull up the list of clips, search ClipX's simple manager for a specific clip, or launch an online search for an item, but it doesn't offer hot keys for individual clips or support drag and drop for easily inserting clips. The program doesn't retain text formatting but it does work with image files. You also can save a set of clips and reload them as needed. ClipX is fairly easy to use and it's offered free of charge, but it doesn't offer the clip-management features found in similar applications.

Wonderfully simple!

Pros
Easy to use! Configurable! Holds up to 1,024 clips! Search clips! Edit clips!
Cons
Periodically loses the setting "Run ClipX on Startup." Periodically drops off the System Tray, requiring a reload of ClipX.
Summary
No longer supported ... alas!
Just what I wanted!

Pros
I spend a lot of time copying and pasting from one document or app to another an this saves me a LOT of time. Lots of customization such as being able to remember 1-1024 clipboard entries, purging of images between sessions, carrying clipboards between sessions, customization of multple hotkeys, etc.
Cons
There's a section for plugins but no indication of what they are, what they do, or where to get them.
Summary
Simple, clean, and right to the point. No messing about with memory hogging animations and such. Just the way I like it.
Far to basic.

Pros
Accurately retains captured clips
Cons
There is no attempt to organize clips for future use. It's just a list!
Summary
Works to an extent but not for what I need it for.

Pros
light software
Cons
It s an applicattion very old. We need a useful update of this. Very good idea, but have failures very basics. It not remembered the hot keys that you want when reboot windows (sometimes), and the plugin not working when you rebbot the computer sometimes. I need this plugin to uses a list of texts to paste sometimes. Very light software, but in basic things is off. I have to look for other thing
Summary
Super simple. Very effective

Pros
Does everything I would expect it to.
Cons
Nothing I can think of.
Summary
An outstanding utility, but still not ready for Win7
Thor33433October 5, 2011
Pros
Crisp, unobtrusive performance. Easy access to clipboard when you need it -- otherwise, invisible.
Cons
Running under Windows 7, I find that ClipX often needs to be restarted. When I call up the clipboard display, sometimes it won't close, or leaves an empty white rectangle that remains until I reboot.
Summary
An excellent utility that needs to work better with Windows 7.
Great little widget

Pros
Easy to use.
Cons
Limited documentation.
Summary
Perfect and easy, but don't use it with Solidworks
fmeijerJanuary 10, 2011
Pros
Very easy to use program. Does exactly what you expect of it.
Cons
After installing Clipx, Solidworks became instable. I've tried it on a 32 bit and a 64 bit workstation. On both systems Solidworks crashes after installing Clipx. After removing Clipx, Solidworks became stable again.
Summary
Works as advertized but is awkward
tcosyJanuary 4, 2011
Pros
It does screen shots which is what i want
Cons
If you want to delete a clip, you have to right click and choose "mamage". You then get a window which lists your clips and alows you to delete them. The problem is that you cant see your clips - just a note that says Bitmap and a size!
