oups: I use it daily on my TX and it's really cool to be able to copy whole web pages in a single memo .
hrshybartbone123: I love this, but when I enable anything, if I go into blazer it resets! too bad
byronkw: an absolutely amazing increase in utility on the Treo 700p - the text tool alone are amazing
allows me to easily insert Keys to make Palm / Maximizer / database links
a revelation of what can be done on the Palm OS
no name: dont pass stability test
chris@rudechalets.: The clipboard functionality on the treo is rubbish. This software should be standard.
blackbrutha: good program. this capability should come with the treo 650..i definately paid enough for this freekin phone. good work
MFB: With activation via command bar enabled, Treo resets everytime I launch the command bar. I finally nailed this bug. I previously assumed it was Palm's fault.
rlu2: When you "Augument Edit Menus" which adds ClipPro menus to your edit menus, if you then select one of these options from within a program, my phone does a soft reset every time.
Detailed Description
Clip PRO is an OS 5 extension that remedies two major problems with the standard Palm OS clipboard. It increases the amount of text you can copy from 1KB up to 64KB, and allows you to keep up to 14 clipboards (10 live, 4 static) active at any one time. Clip PRO also provides some useful text manipulation tools, search options and other text utilities.
One way to use Clip PRO is to assign a hard button to it. Do this by selecting a button appropriate to your device from the list on the Activation screen. Then whenever you need to use Clip PRO simply hold down the button for about 1 second and the menu will be presented to you.
Clip PRO can also be activated through the command bar, so if you want to copy a piece of text you select the text as you normally would, then activate the command bar with the upward right-slanting stroke, select Clip PRO, then Copy. Pasting is just as easy, except the Paste option will open another list containing your 14 clipboards, and show you the first dozen or so characters. Find the one you want and voila!
Clip PRO also has an "auto menu" option. When enabled all you have to do is select a piece of text and Clip PRO will automatically display its menu - allowing you to cut/copy with less pen taps! To disable the "auto menu" option simply turn off the checkbox labelled "Auto menu" in Clip PRO.
The Append and Prepend options let you add selected text to the end or start of an existing clipboard. You select the desired option, then specify which clipboard to modify.
The Import/Export options allow youto transfer text to/from the standard Palm OS clipboard. This is handy for dealing with data in applications that don't use a standard edit control (hence making the data invisible to Clip PRO - such as DocsToGo, WordSmith etc). Import will copy text from the clipboard into Clip PRO, Export will copy data from Clip PRO into the standard clipbaord - ready for pasting. Clip PRO will also automatically import any text in the clipbaord into Clip PRO.
The Tools menu will allow you to perform a number of useful manipulations on selected text. These tools are also available within the Clip PRO application so you can manipulate your stored clips as well.
The clipboards that Clip PRO uses will retain their content even after you reset your Palm OS device.
You can also edit your clippings by launching the Clip PRO application. Tap the item you want to edit, make the changes (including deleting), then tap the Save button.
Please note: you cannot use the Clip PRO functions whilst you are editing the Clip PRO database. However the standard Edit menu features are available.
Don't forget to take a look at the Clip PRO Desktop Component - which lets you quickly and easily sync your clipbaord data to your PC!
Installation
Simple, just HotSync the ClipPRO.prc file onto your Palm device. You can run the Clip PRO application on your handheld to enable/disable it as you like (but why would you disable it?!)
To remove Clip PRO (blasphemy!) you must first disable it by running the Clip PRO app and deselcting the Enabled checkbox. You will now be able to remove it using the Launcher.
** NOTE **
If you have an earlier version of Clip PRO installed and enabled on your device you must disable it. To do this open the Clip PRO application on your device and turn off the checkbox labelled "Enabled".
