I have overwritten one of my downloads with today's offer and it does not seem to have anything special that isn't out there as freeware. IMHO, "if it ain't broke don't fix it" they have compromised the simplicity of "101 Clips" by too many names, too many versions, offering it as freeware on some sites, and then shareware on others, as well as its "View sheets" amendment. The confusing owners/designers of this particular clipboard extension has made me continue on my quest for what is closest to the original. I downloaded an 'extra buttons' freeware program to try to hide this cumbersome "Spartan" version, to send to tray, but it doesn't seem to work on any of the above mentioned downloaded versions. Also, if you google "101 Clips" you will find the program as freeware, but for "101 Pics" and the clipboard is as stated, under a different name. I tried several ways to get it to work as easily as '101 clips' but in the process of 'improvement?" the numbered views and window thereof is just more trouble than it's worth. I have found a major problem with this program as it is now the 'close button minimizes to tray' feature does not work, it keeps a view window title on the task bar. The Spartan version has added a pop up to the 101 Clips program that I have, and of course they try to annoy you into buying it, or getting the 'lite' version which is much to my dismay not the exact same as the '25 clips' clipboard. I have downloaded this clipboard as "101 Clips" on very old freeware sites, M8's Free Clip, and also more recently Spartan. This sent me on a search for a similar clipboard, something that I have been downloading and comparing (too many to list here) for quite some time now. I guess as it has become more popular, they have done what so many software designers do, they change the name or add 'Pro', 'Super' or whatever "Build number", and slap a price tag on it. I liked the fact that it was very flexible, unobtrusive and freeware. This program was offered as "101 Clips" for years I know this because I have used it for years, and more recently, reviewed it on a Woman's Networking site. It was very nice up until that last test. It seems I can't run it any more, until I reboot. It's no longer appearing in my system tray (as I had set up in options/General) and when I try to run it from Windows Explorer it gives me "Runtime error '9': Subscript out of range." It's not showing up in task manager either. I typed ctrl(V) again and it seems Spartan crashed. I went to a blank text document and typed ctrl(V) (although I had not set that key up in Spartan) and the clip pasted. I used ctrl(C) for copy (as I had set Spartan to use this key) and then looked at the clipboard. It uses paste at some times when I think it means copy.īehavior if you select No but not the behavior if you select Yes.Īt this point, I tried copying and pasting a graphic. In Options (General), Under Paste Method - and even under Paste Mode - the help area (yellow area at the window bottom) seems to be confusing the words copy and paste. It would be a little more useful if we were able to adjust the width of a day on the year planner, perhaps to fit the entire year on a screen. I was looking at 2011 and expecting to see 2012's calendar.
