What is problem? I download and use app. It works.

[carlosbaraza]

@francwalter made me laugh with his comment.

The application works. However, it is always interesting to have an active repo manager. At least to merge the PR.

[TimonVS]

I'm a bit concerned, @naotaka hasn't shown any online activity after november 2014. Not on GitHub, his blog and Twitter.

The lack of updates (versions or info) leaves me uncertain if ClipMenu is compatible with Yosemite. And if so, which version? I see versions 0.4.3, 0.4.4, and 1.0? Which to use? and how do they differ? Thanks.

[francwalter]

Yes this application still works even on 10.11.3. I tested 0.4.4a12 which is working and was the last beta. The 1.x is crippled, long not finished new version, lacking important features and as ClipMenu is dead (hopefully only the app) and the source code for the 1.x is not published, I used this 0.4.4a12 before. But I switched to Copy'em Paste since some months, quite better, not abandoned, but 10$.

I am using the compiled version 0.4.3 from the website (http://www.clipmenu.com/) and it works quite fine on macOS Sierra (10.12.2).

I found a fork of this project called clipy which is still being maintained. It fixes the issues I had with ClipMenu like not being able to paste in the snippets.

@harman28 I wonder if we can set up a mirror URL and get that accepted into the Cask repository. I have it installed on some of my machines. It should be possible to pull the .dmg.

EDIT: Folks please just use Clipy.

[harman28]

@ahmetb I think the fork that is maintained at Clipy works great, and so that might be unnecessary.

[ceyzaguirre4]

@ahmetb Ive been looking all over for clip menu, by now it was an essential part of my workflow. Many others probably think alike and would benefit from the publishing. Something as simple as a Dropbox link should solve @harman28, my own and others problem finding the app.

@ceyzaguirre4

I happened to have a copy here. You have to gunzip it, since github won't allow me to attach just a .dmg file.

[jonathanfann]

i hope everything's alright with Naotaka, but checking out Clipy now.

[mtt05001]

Never realized how much I loved Clipmenu until its gone...

[francwalter]

Since a while I bought "Copy'em Paste", which is the best clipboard app I know for Mac. EDIT 22.12.2018: Still very useful and far better than ClipMenu. It's under constant development and gets even better and better.

[bakari45]

@BecomingDitto, thanks for posting the download. I wonder if another developer could take over the application and keep it updated. It looks like the original developer is MIA.

[jonathanfann]

@bakari45 https://clipy-app.com/ is a fork that is now maintained (github link: https://github.com/Clipy/Clipy). i've found it to be stellar so far.

Does the version available here work on High Sierra (10.13.3) ?https://github.com/naotaka/ClipMenu/files/1093000/ClipMenu_0.4.3.dmg.gz

[Landius]

@Pragad Yes, It works ( can't believe! )

[yueim]

10.13.5, not work.

[yueim]

amazing. after remove all history files in ~/Library/Application Support/ClipMenu, ClipMenu works perfectly again.

[broqdev]

this is a masterpiece. became a fan since I use Mac. blessing Naotaka. no matter where you are.

@cnyyk

after remove all history files in ~/Library/Application Support/ClipMenu, ClipMenu works perfectly again.

Tried that in Mojave with no luck. Moving to Clipy.

[yueim]

@bzx Should try AppCleaner to clean all files except ClipMenu.app. I am using ClipMenu on Mojave perfectly.

[bzx]

@cnyyk thanks for the tip, from the quick test it seems it's working!

[hopper48]

@cnyyk when you say to "try AppCleaner to clean all files except ClipMenu.app" you mean clean all the 'caches', 'preferences' and 'crash reports, etc, as show here: https://i.postimg.cc/mgVKS5X4/Screenshot-2018-10-29-19-25-49.png

If not, could you please tell me which files I need to clean and whether it's using appleaner and uninstaller, in order to use clipMenu with Mojave?

Thanks!

[jvreeken]

I can't seem to get it to show up in the menubar... 10.13.6 I have tried using app cleaner to remove all files except the app.

[yueim]

always works fine, always, now I'm using 10.4.1
