Clippy Bank

[drarora]

First of all I hae to say that it is a great program and I will recommend itto anyone with word processing needs even if they are used to any other rogram. I am looking for 2 features which may make this program one of the best

I am interested in knowing if the clippy bank enteries can be sorted in the way they are created rather than alphabetically. That would be very useful for certain types of document creation.

Secondly can the pasting of the clips be made dynamic rather than static. Like there can be clickable boxes in front of the clip banks which can be toggled on and off which turns the pasting on and off for that item.

Any help will be appreciated.

The problem is that there are no separate clips within the Clippy Bank. The Clippy Bank in many ways is just an ordinary document. When you append a new clip to the Clippy Bank, this clip simply gets inserted at the end of the Clippy Bank document. So no "clip sorting" or checkable items within the Clippy Bank is possible.

Note that the Clip Library of Atlantis does contain separate clips.

My original message actually pertained to clip Library and not the bank. Is there a way to sort the clip library according to the time it was made rather than alphabetically.

And also that the pasting from the clip library can be dynamic than paste and undo if needed.

Thanks

Maybe "Clipomatic" from mlin.net is useful for you. It is tiny, simple. And works mostly. I use it for years.

Does any one know if the list of clips in the clippy bank can be sorted by time they were created or by any other criteria than just alphabetically. I can get by now by putting numbers in front of my clips and then sorting but that is a little problematic than doing time wise.

As I said in my previous post (see above), there are no separate clips in the Clippy Bank of Atlantis. Clippy Bank is in many ways just a document. It contains paragraphs not clips. There are no dates associated with paragraphs. Sorry, but you could not sort paragraphs in Clippy Bank by date.

Hi Drarora,
If I understand your question correctly, you want to sort the Atlantis Clip Library items according to their modification date. This cannot be done in Atlantis directly. But there is a workaround if you don’t want to have these items sorted in Atlantis itself.

1. Show the Clip Library panel.
2. On the bottom toolbar, choose “Clip Library Options” (rightmost button).
3. In the “Clip Library Options” dialog, click “View Clip Library Folder”.
4. Use the Windows Explorer window to display the files according to their modification date (click the corresponding column header).

HTH.
Cheers,
Robert
