Paste directly: choosing an entry can put it straight into the app you were
typing in, instead of copying it for you to paste. It is off by default, and
because it presses Command + V for you it needs macOS Accessibility access,
which you grant yourself in System Settings; Preferences → Privacy says what
that permission covers. Option + Return pastes with formatting dropped.
The daily update check is now a setting. Turn "Check for updates
automatically" off in Preferences → General and Clipvelope makes no network
call at all until you press Check for Updates.
The panel stops at fifty rows, and now says how many more entries there are
beyond them — while you are searching, how many more matches — instead of
ending with no explanation.
VoiceOver reads the panel and Preferences: history rows say what they hold,
and the icon-only buttons say what they do rather than announcing as
"button".
When something goes wrong while the panel is closed, Clipvelope says so in a
small panel below the menu bar, and says what to do about it. Click it to
send it away, or leave it and it goes on its own. Nothing is shown when a
paste works: the text appearing where you were typing is the message. It
needs no notification permission.
Pinning or deleting a row with the trackpad gives a small tap under your
finger, so the click is confirmed without looking. Macs without a Force Touch
trackpad feel nothing and behave exactly as before, and your trackpad
settings decide the strength — Clipvelope adds no setting of its own.
When the daily check finds a new version, the menu bar icon says so with a
small dot instead of a window opening behind your work, where it used to be
easy to miss entirely. Nothing interrupts you: open Clipvelope when you like
and a line above the buttons offers the update. The dot goes away as soon as
you have seen it. A check you start yourself still opens the update window
straight away, in front.
Better
Search and autocomplete no longer slow down as the history fills up.
Search ignores accents, so "resume" finds "résumé" and "résumé" finds
"resume".
Less battery: the clipboard is checked less often while nothing is being
copied.
Fixed
Two different images that happened to share the same dimensions, size and
type were treated as the same entry: the second one was dropped and the
older picture shown under a new timestamp. They are now told apart by their
contents. Formatted text had the same flaw.
Opening Clipvelope while it is already running no longer leaves you with two
copies. Two of them fought over the global shortcuts, and Preferences then
blamed another app for taking them; the second copy now hands over to the
first and quits. This applies within your own login only, so someone else
logged into the same Mac still gets their own Clipvelope.
Control + Option + V no longer depends on an internal name inside macOS that
a system update could change, which would have left the app looking broken
with no way in.
Paste directly now refuses to paste anywhere but the application you were in
when you chose the entry. Picking an image or a formatted entry can take a
moment, and if you switched apps during it the entry — which may be a
password — used to be typed into whatever you had switched to.
Paste directly also refuses if something else has taken the clipboard in the
meantime, such as a Quick Slot command finishing, instead of pasting that
other thing and saying nothing about it.
Every message about a paste that did not happen, and every Quick Slot
failure, was written into the history panel — which is closed at exactly
those moments, so no one ever saw one. They now reach you where you are.
A history made entirely of pinned entries stopped Clipvelope recording
anything at all, silently: nothing could be trimmed to make room, so each new
copy was thrown away the moment it arrived. Importing a backup was enough to
arrange it. Whatever the history holds, what you copy next is now kept, and a
backup may leave at most 199 of its entries pinned. A vault already in that
state starts recording again as soon as you open it.
Importing a backup while your vault could not be read — the situation the
import is there to rescue — put the restored pictures and formatted entries
aside along with the old vault, so they all came back broken. They are now
written after the old vault is set aside, and the old one is still kept.
A backup could understate how large an entry's picture was, which quietly
left that picture out of every backup you made afterwards. The stored bytes
are now checked against what the entry claims about them.
Bytes another app offered as a PNG are no longer stored as one without
checking. They could not be read back, so the entry deleted itself later,
saying its file was missing.
Quitting waits, briefly, for the last thing you copied to reach the vault.
