This app auto-saves your Windows clipboard

Last time I introduced Doctor Clippy - a tool for saving your Windows clipboard to a text file. It was only upon completing the project that I realised that there was something missing.

Windows Clipboard before the release of Windows 3.1

Instead of manually saving the clipboard every time you press 'copy', most people will want to be less selective (read 'lazier') and wish the program automatically saved the clipboard every time they press 'copy'.

Introducing Captain Clip! This program runs in the background auto-saving your clipboard. Every time you press CTRL+C or 'copy', the program copies the text into a text file for you - whether you want it or not.

You are limited to ten thousand bytes of data with each clip (the program will truncate otherwise) and you get a fresh new file every day so you can see what you have been copying easily throughout history.

This tool saves your clipboard to a file

Have you ever wished there was an easier way of copying multiple sections from one document or webpage?

Doctor Clippy is a tool that performs just one job. Every time it runs it saves the contents of your Windows clipboard to a text file. Need to plagiarise a website? No problem: CTRL+C, then run Doctor Clippy. Do you need to cherry-pick the latest article? No problem: CTRL+C, then run Doctor Clippy.

Text that has been copied is saved to a time-stamped text file. With a slight tweak to the configuration settings, text can instead be appended to the end of a single file (all your clips in one place).

You can also specify the location that Doctor Clippy uses to save your clips.
