Short: Allows clips to be stored and retreived Author: nick@ripple.demon.co.uk Uploader: nick ripple demon co uk Type: util/cdity Architecture: m68k-amigaos I spent a couple of summers working on Macs writing documentation. One of the most useful tools was the Mac Scrapbook, which allows you to store any number of 'clips' (text and graphics) and then copy any one to the clipboard so you can paste it into applications. Items were placed in the scrapbook via the normal cut'n'paste keys. In fact, I liked it so much that I wrote this - The Amiga Clipbook commodity. The Clipbook allows you to store text and graphics clips, scan through them and copy any of them to the standard Amiga clipboard. They can then be pasted into applications. To put something into the Clipbook you simply have to copy it from an application and paste it into the Clipbook. Each clip in the Clipbook is displayed if possible. At the moment only FTXT and ILBM clips are shown. Others can be stored but not displayed. This is useful for logos, 'standard' blocks of text, graphics you use often etc etc. If you use a particular graphics brush often then instead of having to load it (and remember the path!) each time you can simply store it in the clipboard and copy it out each time you need it. FEATURES Clipbook opens on publicscreens. Can be forced to open on *any* screen. (Useful as you don't have to keep flicking between screens.) Displays ILBM clips. Each clip can be named, so even clips it can't display can be identified. Can use any viewer to view the whole clip. (Such as Multiview) Can use different viewers for different types of clips Can be controlled completely from the keyboard (and mouse of course!) Can load clips into the Clipbook from any IFF file. Can be told to automatically paste anything that's cut/copied directly into the Clipbook. It's a commodity, so has hotkey and other normal Commodity goodies SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS OS Version 2.04+ iff.library (included in archive) Will work from floppies, but has been designed with hard drive users in mind
