ClipMate Classic closely resembles previous versions of ClipMate, and takes up much less space than ClipMate Explorer. It features a menu, a toolbar, and a drop-down list of Clips (the ClipList). In the picture to the right, it is shown in the "dropped-down" state, where you see a ClipList and a slimmed-down version of the preview/edit window. |
|
The ClipList gives you access to all of the Clips in the current Collection. As soon as you select a Clip, it is placed back onto the system Clipboard, and is ready for pasting into any application.
| · | When you click on the drop-down arrow in the lower-right, the window expands to show the ClipList (listing of the clips in the current collection) and a preview of the data.
|
| · | Unlike version 5, the ClipList in v6 will not immediately "roll-up" when you make a selection. This is to give you time to see the data in the preview area. As soon as you switch away to another application, the roll-up occurs automatically.
|
| · | Also, you may find that you want the window to stay in the "drop-down" mode. In that case, use the "pin" icon in the lower-left to pin the window open.
|
| · | At the bottom of the window (when in the drop-down mode) there is a "status" area, showing you the most recent clipboard or editing history. If you hover your mouse over it, you will see the recent history.
|
| · | The blue toolbar button (3rd from the right) that resembles a 3-panel window will close Classic, and take you to ClipMate Explorer, which is more suitable for editing and data management.
|
The toolbar shares many buttons in common with ClipMate Explorer, so the buttons are explained in the ClipMate Explorer Toolbar topic.
