Won't stay on the screen!
atozclipboardFebruary 11, 2017
Pros
It pastes back what you copy
Cons
Lets say you copy 5 things and want to paste them back. You click on the system tray icon and it pops up. You click on the thing you want to paste. It disappears. You click on the system tray icon again..... It drives you nuts. Then you copy some pictures - You cnt tell which is which - they look sme
Summary
Whoever programmed this knows how to save the clipboard to disk and get it back later. He has no idea how to make a useful user interface like the Spartan Multi-Clipboard
Reliable and fast clipboard manager
Jockster_CNETApril 16, 2015
Pros
Ditto is fast, does not consume a lot of memory. The appearance can be customized. Easy to access and use with the help of keyboard shortcuts. You can paste a number of items in one go, great if you are creating a list. Pasting plain-text or text with its original formatting is a matter of holding down the Shift key - could not be easier.
Cons
Some feature bloat? Perhaps some teams need a shared clipboard with synching over the network - I don't. I'd like for it to be possible to create rules for replacing text in copied snippets with the help of regex. Tag scrubbing would be a nice feature.
Summary
Solid, does what it promises reliably year after year.
needs big form table
September 17, 2014
Pros
great, but lacks big screen view
Cons
sometimes i would like to see all the clips history in a big form not only in the corner of the screen, to see how much time i spent on certain tasks by comparing times of clipboard for example
Summary
<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Sep 17, 2014<p/>needs an additional button for full screen view of clipboard history, for comparing times of clipboard changes to know how much time spent on certain tasks.
Excellent clipboard manager!
RadioCatsApril 16, 2014
Pros
Been using Ditto for about four years. Never had a problem with it. It provides huge peace of mind. If a web page ever locks up, I always have a copy of what I wrote in Ditto. Same thing for so many emails or items of importance that I am too afraid to lose is something goes haywire. Not that this review is anything all important, but I will copy my review to my clipboard in case this web page gacks. This keeps me from losing what I write; here and on the rest of the web.
Cons
Wish it was updated more frequently, but I can easily forgive that. Ditto is very stable and allows me to work with peace of mind.
Summary
I have Ditto installed on all my machines (5 or so). This is from WinXP, Windows Server 2008, Vista and Win8. No problems whatsoever.
Got what it takes
L-P-DApril 19, 2013
Pros
The most important feature: Groups of permanent items There are many options for the user interface. To start using it: Copy some items in sequence, press F7 and have them assigned in a new group!
Cons
Adding items to an existing group is a cumbersome one-by-one process. Sorting order is strictly time-of-entry based, no manual reorder.
Summary
Ditto really has everything I need. But given there are many good tools on the net (I use ArsClip at home, but must switch to Ditto in the office), some quirks in the daily usage experience can make a difference.
Good, not the best interface
gte037p17March 14, 2012
Pros
It works. It simply keeps a record for your copy/cut activity. It has a short cut so that you can quickly pull up information, scroll through it, and paste it.
Cons
The separate window. I have gotten use to Jumpcut for Mac where the list comes from the taskbar icon as a dropdown. Also, the font used in the viewer is not very smooth looking.
Summary
It does what it should. I wonder if there are any other comparable products out there. This is basically the only one I found - this should be a basic feature in Windows.
VERY USEFUL MULTI COPY PASTE UTILITY
ROB LOWERYMarch 31, 2011
Pros
COULDNT WORK WITHOUT IT, SPEEDS UP THE USE OF FREQUENTLY USED TERMS WITH A COUPLE OF CLICKS
Cons
NONE, & FAR BETTER THAN SIMILAR APPS IVE TRIED
Summary
Simple and functional
charodonMarch 24, 2011
Pros
I've been using this for more than a year. It's simple and easy to use -- you call it up with an easy keyboard combination. You can either paste formatted or paste as text. I find it really useful for collecting citations from websites.
Cons
Sometimes decides to copy something 10 times instead of once. This is a minor irritant because you can just delete the extra entries. Occasionally it refuses to paste an entry, closing the window and reopening it solves that problem.
Summary
Nearly perfect simple and free clipboard extension.
Great product for clipboard history
rwgcnetDecember 17, 2010
Pros
installs easy, no noticeable performance impact, captures clipboard items, allows me to group them together, can paste as text only, configurable hot key support, supports many times of data, has a share option which I have never used.
Cons
Twice in the last 6 months I have seen it quit responding to my hot key request, I just restarted ditto, and it started working again.
Summary
great, professional product.
*Essential* utility - MS clipboard is feeble
