[ANNOUNCE] ClipBook:: A Free Clipboard Manager
 

ClipBook is a Qt based clipboard manager that is currently available as a free version and a paid version.

Paid version is a big improvement with changes described in blog post url given below.
Whereas free version will soon get all the features except daemon, as soon as Nokia fixes the Store bug (not being able to push update)

EDIT Summer 2012 :: Meego port has been finished. And thanks to awesome support from maemo.org community, I was able to develop and test on a real device. A stable and mature 1.0 version is available as an update over the beta version.

Symbian3 and s60 stable versions are already available from the same link (free):

EDIT March 2013( DONE )
I plan to include more features, sharing options (also running in invisible mode as in symbian version). (Still in plans)
Although the app is only 23kb, but I hope it'd be a useful utility for many others like me ;)

EDIT March 2013 : A big update to v3.0 is now available from (paid PRO) http://store.ovi.com/content/355111 .

Free version has also got the update except background daemon and autostart

I dunno why no one commented here.. this is a great app.

If it's possible to run in invisible mode while using minimum battery power, it'll be awesome. Also, auto-start of course.

But I like the part where you say: "will be free forever" +9999 points :D

flopjoke,

Yup this is one of those immensely useful apps that are the so-called "underdogs"...

Another example is ScreenshotMee; you use these apps just like many other people and it comes with no fuss but get the job done very well...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] ClipBook:: A Free Clipboard Manager
 

Thanks :) Those two comments made my day

Re: [ANNOUNCE] ClipBook:: A Free Clipboard Manager
 

Awesome app, works like a charm and having access to your clipboard history is immensely useful.

Thank you.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] ClipBook:: A Free Clipboard Manager
 

Hey Anand nice work, But where do i get the deb file for the same for my n9?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] ClipBook:: A Free Clipboard Manager
 

Nokia store....search for clipbook :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] ClipBook:: A Free Clipboard Manager
 

Fantastic application, really useful! Thanks a lot. Auto-start (or at least the option to active it) would be a good feature.
Now that I know about it, that app is a must have :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] ClipBook:: A Free Clipboard Manager
 

Great app! Autostart and run-in-background would be key features to add. Thanks for the useful app!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] ClipBook:: A Free Clipboard Manager
 

I'm looking for a way to share clipboard between my N900 and my Windows 7 PC.

DropBox is the only way I've got at the moment and it takes about 2 mins to copy over a simple URL...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] ClipBook:: A Free Clipboard Manager
 

That gives me an idea, bibek can't your database be a plain text file somewhere instead? That way ssh'ng into the file would allow URLs, text etc to be shared in both directions...

Currently I instead IM myself the data i.e. Gtalk to Skype etc...

Bibek, are there still plans to add an option to auto-launch this program at start-up? Are there still plans to run this program in background?

Thanks, it's a very good app, and these additions would really help.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] ClipBook:: A Free Clipboard Manager
 

Sorry I had forgot to subscribe the thread and all the posts had eluded my notice.
I am recently working on this again, and improved the algorithm to be event driven, rather than constant checking. So, it'd be much more energy efficient now. No action unless clipboard content changes.

It was bad coding at first place, but one year ago I was a beginner and dint have the sufficient knowledge at that time.

Apart from backend, some more eye candy and usability options also added. Will go live in store by next weekend (I might post the deb here too after finishing touches)

Thanks for the ideas, I have following included in things to do list for next versions:

Posting to pastebin, text file creation (and sharing), text file database, autostart, background daemon


Anyone having spare time can make me a new icon for this app :)

Here's Clipbook Pro, not yet complete, but working fine in options which are implemented.

There's a daemon if you want,
write to text file,
bug free clip ordering, no double entries,
better UI, icon, splashscreen,
swipe to delete

And ofcrse, the complete new code to fully optimize power usage.
Memory usage will be optimized once I finish the daemon

No autostart as of yet, daemon has to be started manually from UI,
PERSIST DATA option causes a bug and freeze sometimes. Avoid using that

Daemon will need some polishing before being able to autostart.


For some stupid bug in nokia publish, I cant update the clipbook item in store. Hope its fixed soon, else I'll have to create a new item.

The polished final version might be commercial and paid, but will be free for the community

New release status http://theweekendcoder.blogspot.in/2...-reloaded.html

New version is now available from http://store.ovi.com/content/355111

Re: [ANNOUNCE] ClipBook:: A Free Clipboard Manager
 

yes.... the publicity version is always free. now you can download the pro

It's been almost a year since the free version is posted. And that version is still free. Except autostart and daemon, I will update the free vrsn to match pro version. Just waiting for Nokia store to fix a bug that is preventing me from uploading the new deb file to old item. They said it'd be fixed next week. Else you can get the deb from here too

Re: [ANNOUNCE] ClipBook:: A Free Clipboard Manager
 

Many thanks for this perfect app.

Only thing missing is copy/paste for e-mails but thats Nokias fault I guess and there are any workarounds for this?

I'm afraid that's a separate thing and seems quite impossible. But there might be ways. We'll keep exploring :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] ClipBook:: A Free Clipboard Manager
 

I know, but nice to hear some hope remains.

But I use already Yuor TMO and ShareBoard so I must by this. :)
even I try to keep daemons at minimum this is a must.

I agree on your view. I prefer to keep daemons off also. That's why I optimized it to run only one daemon, that too, it'd sleep unless you change clipboard.

On the other hand, you'll find that many apps run two daemons to autostart

v3.0 update is out. Includes Homescreen Event Feed integration.
Whenever you copy something, it is added to your feed screen (if app/daemon is running). You can later tap that entry on your feed screen (with or without daemon running) to copy the text

Re: [ANNOUNCE] ClipBook:: A Free Clipboard Manager
 

Why no Clipbook for N900?

Since you asked, I'd take a look into it.
I dint try yet coz I have never seen or used a N900 yet and working on clipboard via simulator is a no go. Let's see how it goes..

Re: [ANNOUNCE] ClipBook:: A Free Clipboard Manager
 

Have I missed something? Don't get me wrong, I see nothing bad in it, I'm just curious, if your plans changed, or you've meant "free as in freedom, not as in beer" since beginning. No particular reason, just curiosity.

/Estel

The version which was free is still free and I will push the new version updates (except daemon part) to the free app too. Just waiting for Nokia store to fix a bug that prohibits devs from updating their Qt content with .deb file.

Also a version is posted a few pages back that has most of the capabilities of new version ( for the community)

The main reason for shifting to a paid PRO version is due to the amount of work done to incoporate the new features.

I might have created a bad image here, first declaring forever free, then going half paid. Actually I never intended to put so much effort into this app, as it was at first born from a few hours of work only

Re: [ANNOUNCE] ClipBook:: A Free Clipboard Manager
 

bibek,

You've been doing a brilliant job with all your community projects. Keep it up!

I read on the billboard thread coderus' post; maybe it helps resolving your issue with Store ;)

Really? OMG. Let me try that
Wow. It worked. Thanks a lot thedead1440.
Also thanks to coderus for the fix. Wonder how I hadn't seen it yet. Also I should have tried the trick myself. Dumb me

I m getting a problem with clipbook pro
In about it shows v.2.1
And persist data doesn't work :(

About version isn't a problem. If you downloaded from store, no tension. What's wrong with persist data?

Ok, seems like there's a problem in the daemon. If UI is running, it works fine, otherwise persist doesn't work. Thanks for the report. Expect an update soon

Once copied and then pasted i have to go back and copy the same from feed or clipboard or origin and then can paste it

Edited my last post. Ur bug report is acknowledged. Persist data option has a bug. Turning that ON causes unwanted behaviour. Keep that off till next update.
Sorry for the inconvenience

Tysm .......... :)

Please avoid using 'Persist data' option in the app. There is a bug in Qt clipboard that clearing the data and accessing clipboard in quick succession causes the app to lose control over clipboard and it causes a deadlock. N9 intensifies the problem by auto clearing clipboard after every paste.

The deadlock happens generally after 3 quick pastes with persist ON. But sometimes it works fine.

Workaround, if you have persist on, try not to paste in quick succession. Give a few secs time between pastes

How well this is working in future with MeeFox what is N9 future in browsers? I noticed problems.
