BetterClipboard 0.2.9

BetterClipboard 0.2.9 — one install for every user of a PC, and the install command works again

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nucs/BetterClipboard/main/install.ps1 | iex

• You have 0.2.6, 0.2.7 or 0.2.8: the update button left of Pause lights up after the daily check, or press
  Check now in Settings › Updates. Click the button, then Update and restart. Your history, settings and
  shortcuts are kept.
• You have 0.2.5 or older: run the command above once. Those versions have no update button.

For every user of a PC. One installation can now serve everyone who signs in to a PC. In PowerShell as
administrator:

& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nucs/BetterClipboard/main/install.ps1))) -AllUsers

• It installs into Program Files\BetterClipboard, a folder only administrators may change, with a Start menu
  shortcut, an Installed apps entry and "Start with Windows" for every user. Each user gets their own encrypted
  history in their own profile.
• Each user decides for themselves: turning off Settings › App › Start with Windows stops the start at sign-in for
  that user only. A user's own "Start with Windows" entry, if they have one, comes first, so BetterClipboard never
  starts twice.
• The installer picks this by itself when it is not the signed-in user who installs: when it runs as SYSTEM (Intune,
  an RMM tool), or with an administrator's credentials on someone else's desktop.
• Such a copy does not replace itself or check for updates by itself, because its users may not be administrators.
  An administrator runs the same command again. Check now still tells you about a new version, and the update
  dialog copies the command. Removing it from Installed apps asks for administrator rights.
• The Chocolatey package below follows the same rule for "Start with Windows", and takes /AllUsersStartup.
  For every user of a PC in the README has the
  details.

Fixed

• The install command at the top works again. Since 0.2.6 it printed The attribute cannot be added because variable
  PackageSha256 with value would no longer be valid and installed nothing. The update button and the command with
  options were not affected.
• Settings › App › Start with Windows no longer shows "on" while Windows' list of startup apps (Task Manager,
  Settings › Apps › Startup) has BetterClipboard turned off. Turning the switch on now turns it on there too.
• Starting BetterClipboard into the notification area while it already runs no longer opens Settings.
• The installer can run as SYSTEM. Before, it stopped at its first line.

What came in 0.2.8 (a weekly update reminder, and groups you can merge with the keyboard) is described in the
0.2.8 release.

File	What
BetterClipboard-0.2.9-win-x64.zip	App + bclip for x64 PCs (self-contained)
BetterClipboard-0.2.9-win-arm64.zip	App + bclip for ARM64 PCs (self-contained)
BetterClipboard-0.2.9-win-x64.7z, BetterClipboard-0.2.9-win-arm64.7z	The same files, 7-Zip compressed
SHA256SUMS.txt	SHA-256 of the zips and the .7z archives (the installer and the update check use it)
install.ps1	The installer / updater / uninstaller
betterclipboard.0.2.9.nupkg	The Chocolatey package (embeds the .7z archives)

• An older BetterClipboard can still open your history.
• Not code-signed yet: a zip downloaded with a browser may trigger SmartScreen; the PowerShell installer and the
  update button are unaffected.
