Fixed

Pastebird 1.6.0
Added
- Search in screenshots: Pastebird reads the text in copied images with the text recognition built into Windows, so typing a word finds the screenshot it is in. Press Ctrl+Enter on an image to paste its text. This works on your pc, without internet.
- Remove old items in Settings: let Pastebird remove items after 1, 7 or 30 days. Pinned items stay.
Changed
- Pastebird keeps the 50 most recent images, so screenshots don't fill up your disk. Pinned images don't count.
