iClip 4.0

Praveen:

WTF are you talking about?! Seriously.

If you bought iClip 5 months ago you would've received a registration code at that time. If you didn't, a simple email to us would've resolved any issue.

I have no clue what you're talking about when you say "this looks nothing like what was in the vague preview on his site. It looks like the old version but a TINY bit better". The preview screenshots on the website were from the actual iClip 4 application.

As for an email notification for its release, users are being notified over the next several days. We have tens of thousands of emails to send out and they're going to take a while before they all go out.

So yes, I am reading this and I really don't appreciate being called a douchebag by you when your claims are unfounded.

I have to agree with the above posters. I hate this new interface. Even with the square drop-wells turned on, It's gaudy and obtrusive. The last version was clean, simple and discreet. This app, for me, is all about getting WORK done--not playing a video game. This version feels like a downgrade, and I wish I'd saved a copy of the previous version.

@Billy,
Although I do agree with you somewhat, I also find that these days we are bombarded with clever marketing that allows us consumers to acquire these apps for a rather inexpensive price (e.g., MacZot, Macheist, Macupdate, MacWorld promos, et al). And really, developers ought to get paid for their work, and I think the promo prices help transition the formerly "I aint gonna pay that!" cheapskates into paying.

I've just gotta say - F U iClip. Buy Shadow Clipboard instead. Really.

I bought this POS back when they were advertising it as just about to be released software 5 months ago. Now I don't even get a damn email notice about its release? OR A SERIAL NUMBER? OR ANYTHING ? Thats a great way to show thanks to people who purchase pre release software so you can get some advance cash to buy some new skin flicks or whatever it is you're doing over there.

The best part - this looks nothing like what was in the vague preview on his site. It looks like the old version but a TINY bit better. Thats not saying anything cuz the old version was possibly the ugliest thing i've ever seen on a mac.

I'm sorry - this guy's a douchebag. I hope he reads this too since I think he needs to realize his business practices are a little less than shady sometimes.

BUY SHADOW CLIPBOARD. BETTER LOOKS AND LESS SHADY DEVELOPER!!!!

You know...I've tried to keep my yap shut, but I just can't do it any longer.

I know I should be grateful that we live in a time when 3rd-party Mac Development is so robust. Yet there was a time when a simple little app like this would be free/shareware.

The way things have gotten, I simply can't afford to buy licenses for all the little doohickey apps I'd like to have - like this one. And frankly, $30 for a multiple clipboard app is crazy. There used to be a similar free app for OS9.

I wish I had $20 or $30 to blow every time a cool little app came along, but they come along too often now, and they cost too much. This is a $5 app at best. Mac Developers have gone nuts.

P.S. Yes, it was WriteRoom that really just put this phenomenon over the top for me.

I find it very like the previous version.
Except it's more responsive. Looks much better and OSX like.
Best of all it's a free upgrade although this isn't mentioned on their site. It just took the reg data from my previous install ( and also found all the clipping sets)

You do know that you can change the viewport window to a square ?

This app is incredibly useful and once you start using it you find it hard to do without.

If you'd looked at the old interface, I think you'd like this more. It was butt-frickin'-fugly. :P Now, that said, I want a utility that isn't just well-designed, but looks like it's a part of OS X. This is far, far away from that. Using a circular viewport not only looks like bling for bling's sake, but actually somewhat hinders usability by pointlessly obscuring parts of the content. I don't understand why they didn't offer skinnability or at least an alternate visual style or two with this. I hate to say this because it'll make me sound like a shallow tardmuffin, but I won't be using this app just because it looks so bad.

Sure the new version looks nice but are there actually any new features aside from the interface ?

For a major release that has taken as long as it has you would expect more then just a new interface and bug fixes
