AutoClipX 3.2.0.0 Released

Another kind user reported a bug affecting how formatting stripping expressions were displayed in the configuration UI. Although the expressions worked as advertised, it was possible they were not displayed correctly.

Also added was the ability to change the case of copied text to UPPER CASE, lower case or Title Case.

A few other dinky changes round out the 3.2 release which you can grab here!

AutoClipX and AutoClip Mini Updates

Both AutoClipX and AutoClip Mini were updated. Included in the change log are several bug fixes, optimizations and changes. Significant items include automatic primary mouse button detection for those that have switched left and right mouse buttons. This was added mostly to better accommodate left-handed users. Also a fix was implemented to correct a very annoying bug that keeps cropping up where a modifier key (Alt, Ctrl, Shift) can be left in a pressed state. Hopefully this is solved once and for all!

AutoClipX 3.1.0.0 Released

AutoClipX was updated to version 3.1.0.0. This update corrects several bugs that were introduced in version 3.0 and adds some new features. Also several existing functions were modified to work better and there are a few key performance improvements and some code cleanup. Overall ACX is noticeably more responsive with this update.

Some of the features introduced in this version are…

  • Ability to replace an existing selection when pasting
  • A hot-key was added to toggle cursor checking on and off. This is meant to be a quick way to disable cursor checking for cop and paste operations without having to enable the Arrow or Other cursor types.
  • Ability to blacklist individual window controls, making it easy to have ACX ignore a part of a program window without ignoring the rest of it
  • Added a hot-key to paste the first dynamic item in ClipMan (the last copied text string)

AutoClipX And AutoClip Mini: New Versions

Both AutoClipX and AutoClip Mini have been updated with many bug fixes and new features.

The change log for AutoClipX includes almost 30 feature additions, over 30 changes and over 20 bug fixes. Among the highlights are…

  • ClipMan: a rudimentary clipboard manager was added which allows pasting from a history of the last 10 text strings copied, or 10 static, user editable items
  • AutoPaste: as if ACX wasn’t fast enough, it just got faster with an option to automatically paste copied content to the last program window you pasted to
  • AutoSave: automatically saves all copied or pasted text to a file
  • User profiles allow you quickly switch configurations
  • In addition to window blacklisting, a whitelist was also added which forces ACX to work with only certain program windows
  • An option to paste at the mouse cursor position rather than the caret position was added
  • Much more!

Since AutoClip Mini is a trimmed-down version of AutoClipX, several of the new features were added to it also, but it does not include ClipMan, AutoPaste, AutoWin (automatic window switching) or AutoSave. It does feature a completely re-worked configuration GUI with a tabbed interface, similar to AutoClipX. Click here to see a feature comparison.

serverMon LE Released

serverMon LE is a simple utility to monitor a remote server for connectivity and server health. serverMon started out as a quick and dirty little script to monitor 12bytes.org when i suspected problems after the website was moved to different hardware. However, i kept making it a little better and adding more features with the intent of sharing it.

serverMon LE will ping and download a file from both a host name and IP address and log all activity. It is very simple to use and outputs a rather nice text log, as well as a CSV log if you wish. For the full description and screen-shots of the program and log files, as well as the download link, head to the serverMon LE page.

Upcoming Version Of AutoClipX: Beta Testers Wanted

Well, after quite a bit of down time during which i received several feature requests and bug reports for AutoClipX, i decided to finally give it an overhaul. The next version will be 3.0.0.0 and will be a major release incorporating many new features, including a few to make copying and pasting even faster! The feature-set is not concrete yet, but here a very small taste of what is instore…

  • Automatic pasting!
  • Automatic window switching
  • Automatically save all copied or pasted text to a file
  • Complete overhaul of configuration GUI
  • Much more!

What is perhaps most interesting about the upcoming 3.0 release is automatic window switching and automatic pasting; when the 2 are combined, one can copy and paste by doing nothing more than selecting something! AutoClipX will learn what program windows you are copying from and pasting to and do virtually all the work for you. At this point i can’t imagine a faster way to copy and paste!

Right now i am in dire need of beta testers, so if you feel qualified, please apply!

Software Titles Removed

In preparation for extended down time in which i will not be updating my software, several items have been removed. Following is the list of removed software titles and their status…

  • AutoBacker – removed permanently
  • ClipperStripper – removed temporarily
  • DDT – removed temporarily
  • KillBox – removed temporarily
  • MultiScan – removed permanently

At this point i don’t know when development will be resumed. I apologize for any inconvenience.
