Did you select your items from the window that appears to export?

Hi!

Here's an updated link to the macro you're looking for: https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Macros/View/?ID=019a505d-38f1-714a-af7a-ab695e74ef79

The file it creates can be opened in plain text with notepad

RE: Type pinned item as text using shortcut.

Binary Fortress Software — Thu, 07 May 2026 19:05:28 GMT

We have some "Auto-Type Clipboard Text" macros in our repository that you can download. You can add this code after line 7 to have it pull text from an index from your pinned item list:

text = BFS.ClipboardFusion.GetLocalPinnedText(0);

Type pinned item as text using shortcut.

Binary Fortress Software — Thu, 07 May 2026 17:41:48 GMT

I can paste a pinned item using a key shortcut. I can right click text that I have pinned and select type text. But is there a way to type out a pinned item using a keyboard shortcut?

For example, ctl+alt+4 = type as text pinned item number 4

Thank you.

RE: FEATURE REQUEST: Add a 'label' to a clip

Binary Fortress Software — Wed, 06 May 2026 17:02:02 GMT

I've added this to our feature request list. We don't guarantee that feature requests will be implemented, or offer timelines on possible implementation. We'll be sure to let you know if we do add it to our planned features in a future version.

Thanks!

Backup and Purge?

Binary Fortress Software — Wed, 06 May 2026 11:57:01 GMT

Hello Good Binary Fortress Folks,

Long time pro user.

For the life of me, for some reason I can't figure out what I'm guessing is a sort of prosaic task:

Backup All to Human Readable Format (text?)
Purge Pinned

I found an export script and Chat GPT swore to me that this was the way forward, https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/sharing-local-pinned-items-with-other-users/?ID=392cb917-8bcc-4786-ac28-1d2b3b58334d

It never worked for me. And, I hope ol' GPT is wrong. Really hoping there is an easy way forward.

What are my options, please?

THanks!

Flin

FEATURE REQUEST: Add a 'label' to a clip

Binary Fortress Software — Tue, 05 May 2026 15:51:33 GMT

As I mentioned in my reply to another post about folders, I mentioned that I've used xrayz software's ClipCache for years but recently had to stop for a couple of reasons not relevant to the discussion at hand. One of the features it had that I used a LOT, and would like to suggest, is a 'label' (for lack of a better term) for for the clip.

For example: I may copy a long string of text that I intend to re-use over the next several days. Adding a label where I could enter "Use this for reconstructing the permissions on this folder" would remind me five days from now why I copied it. This is maybe a bad example but hopefully you get the picture.

This along with the ability to organize clips into folders would allow me to duplicate the way I used ClipCache.

Thanks for your consideration.

RE: Feature Request: Add category subfolders for pinned items

Binary Fortress Software — Tue, 05 May 2026 15:46:05 GMT

Count my vote for adding folders. I've used ClipCache from xrayz software for years but for a variety of reasons I've had to let it go. I found and purchased ClipboardFusion and quite like it, but folder for organizing clips would be helpful to the way I use the clipboard.

RE: Clipboard syncing delay

Binary Fortress Software — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 17:24:58 GMT

No updates yet, we're hoping to look into it for our next beta though

RE: Clipboard syncing delay

Binary Fortress Software — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 17:48:01 GMT

Any updates on this yet?

RE: Deleted item from Clipboard Manager re-appears

Binary Fortress Software — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 17:09:10 GMT

We're still waiting for the next beta for some additional logging. Meantime, on the Settings > Clipboard History tab, if you disable the "Show clipboard changes made by ClipboardFusion" option, does that make any difference?

RE: Clipboard manager starts on main screen

Binary Fortress Software — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 05:08:31 GMT

Even though I've enabled it to show at start it's intermittent.

RE: Deleted item from Clipboard Manager re-appears

Binary Fortress Software — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 04:58:01 GMT

This is still happening. Deleted items just reappear.
Not good considering they may be passwords.

Sorry, but, gotta call it how I see it.

Binary Fortress Software — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 00:39:41 GMT

So, I'm done with this crap. I've been reporting the same bullshit for more than five years, and NOT ONE THING I've reported has been addressed. And I don't mean "not fixed". I mean, "not addressed", at all, ever. Promises, but nothing happens. Let's just fix the small things nobody cares about really, and ignore the glaring problems.

I love the software, if it would work right. It does not. We've turned this over and over on Tom's hardware and we all agree, it's better than what Windows does, but it is forked because it has way too many glaring problems that you guys working on the dev don't seem to care about. So, not going to use it anymore. Not going to recommend it on the forums anymore and anybody that comes around with this installed is going to be advised that it would be best to get rid of it until such time as whoever is working on it, decides to actually work on it. Period.

RE: Folders

Binary Fortress Software — Sun, 19 Apr 2026 12:49:38 GMT

What are the possibilities of adding tags as an intermediary step for folders?

If tags are across the top and clickable, this would give 80% of the organizational benefit.

RE: Feature Request: Linux (KDE or GNOME) version

Binary Fortress Software — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 14:37:33 GMT

This is currently on our feature request list, so I've added your vote to it. We'll be sure to let you know if/when we're able to implement it in the future.

Thanks!

Feature Request: Linux (KDE or GNOME) version

Binary Fortress Software — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 07:07:49 GMT

Hi guys,

We need our amazing app on Linux.
At least for the major desktop environments like KDE and GNOME.

Please <3

RE: Clipboard History is still being cleaned up despite the settings.

Binary Fortress Software — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 18:55:59 GMT

Sounds good, we'll keep you posted when we have a new beta for some added logging with the app exceptions.

RE: Feature Request: Add category subfolders for pinned items

Binary Fortress Software — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 03:37:31 GMT

Categories are so important to usability so I've switched to CopyQ. Like CLCL it takes some digging into to unlock its full potential but is the best alternative I've yet found. Still holding out hope CF will get with the program.

RE: Clipboard History is still being cleaned up despite the settings.

Binary Fortress Software — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 02:08:33 GMT

I just noticed my application exceptions has all disappeared. Probably the same issue as Application Exceptions Not Working

Also, weirdly, except during that PC restart, I haven’t noticed any history items getting deleted recently. Old items used to get cleaned up unexpectedly during normal PC usage every day. I’ll keep monitoring and may provide more logs if it happens again.

RE: Clipboard History is still being cleaned up despite the settings.

Binary Fortress Software — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 17:02:48 GMT

I don't see anything strange in the log, can you send me a screenshot of the ClipboardFusion Settings > Application Exceptions window?

RE: Feature Request: Add category subfolders for pinned items

Binary Fortress Software — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 05:00:08 GMT

This is the one feature that makes me hesitate buying a ClipboardFusion licence.

Otherwise, I quite like the application.

RE: Clipboard History is still being cleaned up despite the settings.

Binary Fortress Software — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 02:16:26 GMT

I set up a macro to periodically count history items and detect deletions. It appears that some items were removed between 2026/03/27, when I shut down my PC, and 2026/03/30, when I booted it up again.

Hopefully, the provided log contains the information you need. Let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help pinpoint the issue.

RE: Windows Lock Screen

Binary Fortress Software — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 16:31:43 GMT

@Marian, that is a different issue from this original thread, but we have that one open on our list and I've added your info to it. It should be fixed up for the next beta.
