I'm having issues with Clipboard Fusion Pro 6.1
crashing a few times a day for some time now and have been trying to find a pattern or cause for it (and hoping it might get fixed in the meantime
), but with no luck so far.
I noticed that my computer becomes laggy for a second or two just before Clipboard crashes. From the event log (attached in this message) it seems that the issue is related to
and I'm wondering if you had a similar issue before or know something more about it?
Thanks.

Hi Boris,
If you head to C:\Users\(YourUser)\AppData\Local\CrashDumps, is there anything listed for ClipboardFusion? If so, could you send over the latest file?

Could we send you an email? We'd like to give you a test build but don't want to post it publicly.
Thanks!

Sure, send it over and I'll test it out tomorrow. Thanks for quickly looking into it.
Will do, just need to prepare a test build and then I'll send you an email. Thanks!

Unfortunately, it is still crashing.
I've attached the crash dump if it helps.

Thanks, we'll check it out!
Quick update and a question. The crash dump points to the crash happening in a main thread that does a bunch of different things, so it's tough to figure out what's causing it from the crash dump. Does it happen when you copy from a specific program? Also, do you have any Trigger rules on the Settings > Triggers tab? If so, does it still crash if you disable all of them?
Thanks!

I'm a software developer and mostly work in Visual Studio 2022 but wouldn't say that it happens only when I'm copying from there. Regarding the triggers, I have only the default one and I will disable it now and try to see if it will help.

Sorry for a late reply, I wasn't working for some time.
The good news is that since I've disabled the trigger I haven't had any crashes. As this is a feature that I don't really use I can live without it and as far as I'm concerned we can mark this issue as solved.
Let me know if you want to investigate this issue further or need my help with anything.
Thanks.
No worries, thanks for keeping me updated! Good to know that it appears to be something related to Triggers, I will pass that info on to our developers.
Thanks!
Could you send me a backup of your settings? You can export them on the Settings > Options tab and then attach the file to your reply. Attachments are protected by default in the discussions.
Thanks!

Hello! I was hoping to take a look at the Trigger rule that was causing the crashing. Do you remember what was in it before you deleted it? Was it just the default one that comes in a fresh install of ClipboardFusion?

Yeah, just the default one

I'm having a crashing issue as well. For me, CF crashes every few days. I only notice after the crash when I try to invoke a CF macro (which cleans up newlines and whitespace in copied text) via a keychord and nothing happens. Then I notice the CF icon is no longer in the system tray and I start it again. It happens infrequently enough that I've kind of gotten used to it, but it is somewhat of an inconvenience. I've not detected any pattern regarding when it crashes. I'm attaching the dump file from its most recent crash.
PS I wasn't sure if I should start a new thread or use this one. Happy to start a new thread if that's better for your workflow.

CF crashed again. Attached is the dump.

Thanks Nick, we'll take a look at your crash dumps as well. Does yours also stop crashing if you disable all Triggers on the Settings > Triggers tab?

I just disabled three triggers. I'll let you know in a few days if that seems to help.
It crashed again yesterday after 2 weeks of no crashes, despite having disabled all triggers. I've attached the dump file.

We've got an idea on what's crashing here and will be working on a fix for the next beta. We'll be sure to let you know when it's available to try out.
Thanks!

That's great news! CFP crashed yesterday. Should I post further crash dumps, or are you all set?
We have one in the works, but not hard ETA on it yet. We'll follow-up in this thread when it is released, and you can enable beta update checks on the Settings > Options tab as well.
Thanks!

Thanks for the update! I just installed the beta 2. I'll let you know how it goes.

Curious why this screen cap (https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Help/?Version=6.1.99.102#settings) doesn't match the current beta. Specifically the "Automatically clear clipboard after" option is gone. If so, where is it now?
Just noticed this screen cap (https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Help/#settings-clipboardhistory) doesn't match either.
So did you guys remove all the granular options for clearing captured data?
Asking because I work in a privacy sensitive environment and these type of utilities need to scrub all data periodically.

This new application exception mechanism, with conditions, rules, formats, and settings, just seems to be overly complicated compared to the previous simple mechanism. And it doesn't work. Just tested it by only changing the default "Item Settings" to 1 minute for both Delete History & Clear Clipboard - clipboard history is still full an hour later.
Reverted to v6.1 with the simple Clipboard listener and Clipboard History tab settings - everything cleared as expected and to the second.

They're a lot more flexible and cover some frequently requested customer scenarios that the old version didn't cover. The settings that you adjusted should definitely work, so if you'd like to troubleshoot them, could you update again, and send me a backup of your settings? When I test here, they work as expected.
Thanks!
