What happened to the setting for how long to wait to delete old Clipboard History items? Since upgrading from 6.0 Beta 6 to 6.2, I can't find the setting anymore. I used to have it set to 24 hours, and it seems that it's still being applied. But the setting for it is gone in the UI. But what brought my attention to this, is that in 6.0 Beta 6, the items older than 24 hours appeared to get automatically deleted in the background, even when the Clipboard Manager was not visible. But now on 6.2 I noticed after opening the Clipboard Manager that even items old than 24 hours were still visible, and then only after a few seconds the items older than 24 hours disappeared. I.e. it was like a "lazy refresh" that took so long it was extremely obvious.
We moved that into the App Exceptions tab, you can adjust the "Delete History Item After" setting in the Default Copy Settings.
Thanks!

Thanks. By the way, is it a known issue that everything in v6.2 is quite sluggish compared to earlier versions (e.g. v6.0 Beta 6 which I was using before). As I mentioned in this thread, the clearing out of the old items is quite sluggish, and as I mentioned in a different thread, the updating up the tray icon takes several seconds)? Also, I notice that whenever I do a 'Show Preview Poppup', even for text items, it seems to take 1-2 seconds, whereas earlier versions were pretty much instant. Has upgrading to .NET 8.0 caused everything to slow down, or is it something else? Is this known about on your end?

Yep we got those on our list. Are you able to send a video of the items clearing out? I can't seem to reproduce that here.
Thanks!

Regarding the items clearing slowly, that'd be quite hard to catch in a video. I have my settings such that after exactly 1 day, old history items are automatically cleared. On a couple of occassions recently, I've hit the keyboard shortcut to show the Clipboard Manager, which appears showing the maximum number of allowed entries, and then about 2 seconds later several of the items disappear from the list (i.e. the ones older than 1 day). In the past, it seems that the clearing would either happen in the background, or happen so quickly that I don't even get to notice the delay when opening the Clipboard Manager. I think the issue is that v6.2 is just very sluggish overall, with everything, compared to the older versions I was using before (6.0 Beta 6 and earlier).
We've tested it across a few different machines here with no luck. We'll keep an eye on it and see if anyone else reports it.
Thanks!
