Korkboard is a little tool I have been developing that enables a uniform method of storing multiple items on the clipboard. When Korkboard runs, it hooks into the clipboard chain and attempts to intercept messages as you use the Copy and Cut commands. It then stores the items on its own list so that they may be retrieved at a later time. It is important to note that Korkboard does not mess with the functionality of the clipboard. If you copy an item, the clipboard works as expected without any interruption or user required interception. Check it out, and let me know what you think!
Korkboard is written in WPF/.NET4 and uses ClickOnce to manage the installation and update processes.
Update: Added the Zip file for those having trouble using the ClickOnce method.
Just FYI, your download link fails in both Firefox and Chrome.
Thanks. I know there are issues with ClickOnce in a couple of the browsers and will upload a zip when I get home.
So I played with this a bit the other day and while some of the options don’t seem to work for me (like the length to keep the notes), it’s a cool little app. It’s definitely nice when refactoring code because I can just Ctrl-X a bunch and get any of that back using Korkboard. Very cool.
Thanks for trying it, Nick! I will have a look into that issue. It seemed to be working on my home computer and my work computer. The timer is in minutes, not seconds.
Here is a look at things I am adding or wanting to add:
Clear List button
List re-ordering via drag+drop
Settings to turn on/off what gets picked up by Korkboard
Better display of what item is currently in the clipboard
Reversing the sort on the list
Pinning items to the list
Saving the list on close for use later on (far off)
A WCF (Windows) Service so that others can easily plug and play (just a dream right now)
