This release is a ground-up reliability and usability overhaul of the Clipboard Manager (v1.10.339 → v1.10.351).

Clipboard pastes that just work

The click-a-clip-and-paste flow was rebuilt around deterministic checks instead of fixed delays:

  • Clipboard writes retry through contention and verify with a read-back. Win+V history, OneDrive, Office, and Trados all momentarily lock the Windows clipboard; writes now wait their turn and confirm the text really landed, instead of silently pasting nothing or stale content.
  • Ctrl+V is injected in-process via SendInput – no more per-paste AutoHotkey subprocesses, temp script files (and their antivirus-scan latency), or PowerShell fallbacks. Held modifiers from the summon hotkey are waited out so the paste can't arrive as Ctrl+Alt+V.
  • The copy step is detected, not guessed: the clipboard sequence number is polled, so the history shows the clip you just copied even when the source app is slow – and the manager opens sooner when it isn't.
  • Pastes fire when the target window demonstrably owns the focus, with honest log diagnostics (including a UIPI/elevation warning) when Windows refuses.

Faster, better-behaved summon

  • Summons start opening ~200–450 ms sooner (non-blocking copy dispatch, cached helper script, tighter copy-detection cap).
  • Esc now dismisses the Clipboard Manager: focus returns to the app you came from and Workbench hides to the tray. This also fixed a subtle Windows bug where a summoned window ran elevated (matching an elevated Trados Studio) and looked focused but received no keystrokes at all – keyboard focus is now verified and repaired after every summon.
  • Every summon logs a one-line timing breakdown (⏱ Clipboard summon: … copy-wait / bring-forward / tab+focus / keyboard-active).

Snippets without file wrangling

  • Right-click any text clip → save it to Personal Snippets or Special Characters – label pre-filled, one dialog, done.
  • Right-click the Menu column to create, edit, or delete snippets in place, or open the snippets folder.
  • Subfolders: organise snippets by simply creating folders on disk (any depth) under a category – they render as collapsible sub-nodes, empty ones included. New top-level folders become new categories.

Image previews

  • Arrow-key through the Images column and pause on an item: a large preview (up to ~40 % of your screen's width) pops up beside the list, following your navigation without ever stealing focus.

Other

  • Fixed the clipboard history staying permanently empty when it was loaded before the database was ready.
