This gadget is excellent! It's one of the tools that I will recommend to my friends and I don't do this often or without a lot of thought. I've encountered no problems and use it everyday. I don't think that I could ever go back to Windows/Office clipboard again. If you are a blogger this is a godsend. Anyone who deals with multiple documents should download this immediately. I love the fact that I can use it as a notepad and I don't have to deal with MS Office notes. I just copy and it's there until I want it to go away or save to a more permanent location. Awesome! Thank you for creating it.

Now why didn't I think I needed this before? Feature request (because it is so incredibly useful): screen space could be conserved by limiting display of items to 1 (or configurable number of) lines, so that more items can be displayed. Of course ability to resize this gadget would be very welcome... I for one would be happy to give it all my free screen space! Only one complaint/puzzlement: the "time" feature seems to cycle through all the timestamp patterns when left-clicked. It would be nice if the user could instead choose a "favorite" pattern to use, instead of having to right-click all the time. Another request: Please make the maximum 99 character limit larger.

Just got a new laptop with Vista Basic. I have used Yahoo Gadgets from way back. More recently, Google Sidebar. It is vying for my choice of which one is better. Although I am an avid Google fan, I will have to admit that Clipboard Manager is the most complete, easy navigation and useful of all. It has many features I never even thought about... including saving graphics! Unbelievable... and it's free! Thanks for a very useful gadget that makes life on the computer a little bit happier.

I really appreciate this gadget. I think it is the best clipbaord manager in the gallery. The ability to store pictures alone sets it apart. I think the only thing I'd like ot see different would be the ability to add skins so that it makes a more attactive gadget. The current color scheme kind of clashes with my desktop.

Jan, I love this gadget and the new version is even better than the old. I rely on it now and when I go to someone elses machine I find myself cutting multiple things into the clipboard only to find I can only get back the first of them. I've tried a couple of similar gadgets but none of them have lasted more than 5 minutes before I've uninstalled them and come back to this one. It's by far the best out there. I love the new ability to store more clips than you can see on the front screen... If one I know is there has dissapeard off the bottom I can still find it. Meanwhile the fact that the first few items can be got to with just one click is what is missing in most other gadgets of this type. I also love the favorites and the new backgrounds. I have had some cases with the older version where it would just stop working and even after a re-boot it would not work. I had to remove the gadget from the side bar and then select it again. So far on the new version this has not happened. All in all a wonderful gadget which I have put on every machine I use.

This is the must have gadget. It does what it says on the tin. I use this every day and find it to be the most stable and reliable gadget yet. In my work I find that I need to repeat many descriptions or item of clipart frequently, the "Clipboard Manager" takes care of the task without any fuss at all. Don't just stop at copying, it will do so much more and make your life and tasks quick and simple.

I am also using Vista Home Prem (on a new HP, for a couple of days) but have no such problems as JemW4's. I do abt 400 edits a month at Wikipedia & need a lot of boilerplate involving special chars. And i'm in love. It could be better, with (1) an option to go straight to Favorites (i don't need to choose among the last 6 things as often as i need my Favorites), and (2) ability to maintain, say in my case, one CBM for articles, one for talk pages, and one for Dab-page cleanup. (I will experiment with trying to install 3 copies of the existing version, but i'm already into my second column of Sidebar Gadgets, and a mode shift would be handier.) I'm tempted to give only 4 stars, as bargaining leverage for my wish list, but to be honest, on a 5 rather than 10 point scale, it deserves all 5.

Version 2.1.1.1 cumulates “occasional gadget crash” and “not registered correctly” fixes and adds a new filtering feature. Do not hesitate to contact me if you still experience any problems. Many thanks to all of you who participated on beta testing! I am sorry to rate my own item - this page forces me to do so - I rate "neutral" 3.

I've used this gadget since the 1.x versions and find it very useful -- the 2.x enhancements are great. I had problems with 2.0.5.9 & 2.0.6.1 crashing multiple times per day, but the coming version fixes this problem. The developer is incredibly helpful!

Hello Jan, thanks for the quick help with getting this working for Windows XP. I just went to the site to see if the update was here and was shocked to see a low rating. There is just no comparison to the usefulness of this and I'd hate to think of a sidebar without it.
