Could you send me a copy of your troubleshooting info? Here are the steps:

Thanks!

Thanks for sending that over. If you don't need the clipboard history, can you try clearing it and then restart ClipboardFusion, and check the size of the database? If it's smaller, can you restart a second time and check how much disk activity is happening?

Thanks!

We took a look into this and we have an idea on where those writes are coming from, so we've added it to our list to look into. We'll let you know if we have any news on this going forward.

Thanks!

Nothing yet, we'll let you know when we have any news

Thanks!

It looks like we should have this fixed up for our next beta, so we'll let you know once it's released.

Thanks!

We've released a new beta with some added changes. Can you try updating and let me know if the issue persists?

Thanks!

Was that from the first time you launched ClipboardFusion after updating? Does it continue to climb if you restart ClipboardFusion?

Thanks!

Strange, I've been testing with that same program on my end but it doesn't seem to read any data being written with Beta 4 on launch. I've been testing with the following steps:

1) Open SsdReady and clear the collected data via Menu > Clear Collected Data
2) Exit ClipboardFusion
3) Start SsdReady
4) Open ClipboardFusion
5) Check the Processes tab in SsdReady

Are you testing the same way?

Thanks!

If you don't need your history, can you clear it and then run the vacuum (ClipboardFusion Settings > Clipboard History > Vacuum), and confirm that the database file size is smaller after doing that?

Can you also set the Database Cache Mode in the Advanced Settings to 2, and then follow those steps again and see if the issue persists?

Thanks!

Yep, if you're comfortable sending over your database we can test it out

Thanks!

Thanks for sending that over. This is likely due to the size of the database already being so high. If you clear it out and run the vacuum, and then adjust that advanced setting, new copies should be quite a bit lower.

Thanks!

The SQLite library is loading the database into a cache on disk when ClipboardFusion starts up and reads the rows because the database is so big. If you want to keep the existing history database but reduce the disk writes, you can set the Database Cache Mode advanced setting to 2 and restart ClipboardFusion. That will tell SQLite to cache it in memory instead of on disk. Please note that you'll need to make sure you have more than 4 GB of free memory available to do this.

Clearing the history and doing a vacuum will reduce the database size to around 2 MB, and any new files you copy will not cause the database to grow so big as we have fixed that issue in the beta as well.

I've attached a script below that will remove all images from the history. Please note this is not reversible, so you may want to make a backup of your database first.

Your database is encrypted for added protection, but we can't hand out that password.

You'll need to run the vacuum found in the ClipboardFusion Settings > Clipboard History tab to reclaim the space after deleting those entries.

It's just a way to manually clean up deleted space in the history DB. When you say you want an easy way to clear everything, do you mean current clipboard contents and clipboard history at the same time? Or are you wanting to clear the other pinned and online lists as well?
