Both versions are about 173KB to download. MultiClipBoardSlots is available in an optional portable version. These aren't complaints that someone new to a clipboard manager may notice.
The other option that I missed is the lack of an option to export the clips, to save a backup of the current contents, or to make certain slots remember the content permanently. The lack of a clipboard history panel is very noticeable if you're used to something like Ditto. So, you can't preview what's stored in a slot, without pasting it, which in my opinion wastes precious time. MultiClipBoardSlots is no doubt a useful application, but unlike other clipboard tools, it does not display the contents of the clipboard. So, with "Restore the clipboard" option enabled, you can store 11 clipboard items, because Windows' native clipboard controls Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V are not affected Minimize the application to the tray, or stick it on top of other windows from the Options menu.īut wait, how do you delete a clipboard slot's contents? Exit the program, and all data stored in the slots is deleted.Īnd now for the cons. So, Ctrl + V will paste the text from Ctrl + C, while Alt + 1 will have the 2nd sentence. This time, the contents of both clipboards are preserved. Restore the Clipboard is enabled, and we repeat the same steps. Regardless of whether you use Ctrl + V or Alt + 1, the same sentence will be added at the cursor position, meaning the original contents of Ctrl + C is over-written. The 2nd copy command (Ctrl + 1) sends the content that it copied to Windows' clipboard. Restore the Clipboard is disabled, and we use Ctrl + C for saving the first line, and then use Ctrl + 1 for the other. This sentence is copied to MultiClipboardSlots. This line is copied to the Windows Clipboard. The "Restore the clipboard" option in the menu is quite important. Don't like that? Click on the Options menu in the top left corner and disable "Play Copy Sound" and "Play Paste Sound". You'll hear a sound play when you copy something to the clipboard or paste an item.
