Version History 1.5.1 (28)

New in 1.5
• New Search capability in the Clip Manager. Use the search button (magnifying glass) or Command+F when in the Clip Manager and then type in the search field that appears. Once you type something, only the clips with that phrase will appear. So if you type "row" then "The quick brown fox..." will be listed. You can also use "app:x" where x is the name of an app like "app:TextEdit" to see the clips from a specific app. But you can't combine these, or look for non-consecutive words, or use boolean operators or anything like that.
• When you switch tabs in the Clip Manager, or close and open the Clip Manager, it will now remember which clip in the list was previously selected.
• Rebuilt the Smart Clips function processing engine. It now handles nested functions better and should be more robust dealing with Smart Clips using multiple functions.
• Added and updated many Smart Clips Functions, including {ask:}, {pick-clip:}, {replace:}, {sub:}, {lorem:}, {stack:}, {action:}, {case:}, {date}, {web}. See the documentation page for the changes and how to use the new functions. Smart Clips can now do almost anything you can do in the ClipTools menu!
• New Snooze function. Hold down the Option key and then select the Clip Tools Menu. Choose Snooze Clip Capture and then a time. The clipboard will no longer be added to the ClipTools clip history until the time expires. You will then see a non-active Clip Capture Snoozed item in the Options menu instead. You'll also be able to select End Snooze there to resume clip capture early.

New in 1.5.1
• Fixed a bug that caused a crash when the Clip Manager had no clips to show.
