Increase history beyond 99

[salsero]

Hi there, could you please tell how can i increase history beyond 99 items? I would need 1000 if possible. Thanks

Build from the latest code and set the amount you want in Settings.

which is the file that limits the storage amount to 99? I cant find it in xcode.

[MarkJerde]

Just run the app. No need to touch the code. Settings are accessed from the menu.

I know but flycut by default only allows up to 99 items and i want to have much more than that. Can you tell in the code where is this limit hard coded so I can raise it and compile it again?

[MarkJerde]

If you are building from the current code it will allow you to raise it up to 999.

Is there some way to raise the limit above 999? I'm interested in clipboard managers that have unlimited histories, and I'd like to know if there's some reason Flycut isn't one of them.

[MarkJerde]

All of the clippings are stored in one plist file along with the rest of the app settings. You could probably trick it into having a very high limit by editing the limit in the plist directly, but at some point the size of that file will probably make you regret it. Perhaps a more satisfying solution would be to use Flycut’s setting to automatically save clippings as they are forgotten, but your situation may have nuances I’m unaware of.

Hope this helps, Mark
