ClipX

Beta changelog

2.0.0.2beta2
24 Aug 2026

Menus

  • On Windows 11, you can now choose compact spacing separately for the paste menu and/or the systray menu
  • Added support for menu animations: as configued in windows or via custom overrides.
  • Fixed the gutter on Windows 7 themed menus, which was 3px too wide, causing a visible artifact.
  • Checked and radio menu items now render the standard background box behind the checkmark/radio, if applicable (win7-10 themed). Can be disabled for a cleaner look.
  • The Classic menu style now honors Windows' flat-menu setting in true classic environments, and can be forced on/off otherwise.
  • Added a selectable menu overflow strategy (standard flip bottom to top, or clamp to save screen space)

Configuration

  • You can now choose which tray-icon mouse button opens the clipboard history and which opens the main ClipX menu.
  • Added ability to disable moving clipboards to the top of the history when restoring them
  • Added ability to skip recording the clipboard contents that's already present when ClipX starts.
  • Clipboard previews can now be hidden from the tray tooltip
  • Clear Current can now be bound to a global hotkey
  • The Clear Current and Search & Manage tray entry now shows their configured hotkey in their respective main menu items

History

  • Combining entries in Search & Manage no longer subjects the result to Limits and other plugins recording vetos.
  • Fixed bug that ignored "Remove matching history entry on Clear Current" when the entry was not the most recent clipboard.
  • Paste menu systray history menus now follow history changes live and relayout.
  • Right-clicking (or pressing the keyboard Context-Menu key) on a history menu entry now opens a per-entry submenu to restore, paste, delete, or run plugin actions like Save To Disk's "Save as...". The unrecorded System Clipboard row offers Clear System Clipboard.
  • Submenus and hover previews now prefer opening on the same side of the menu, to minimize jumping across when space allows.
  • Previews too large for the space beside the menu now shrink to fit that space instead of overlapping the menu.
  • The Save Clipboard History and Load Clipboard History dialogs now each remember their last-used folder, across restarts.

Notifications

  • Hovering the close button or an action link on a notification card no longer causes flickering.
Actions 2.2beta1
24 Aug 2026

Actions Plugin

  • The following fixes require ClipX 2.0.0.2beta2 or above:
    • Fixed a bug that disabled Actions after the current clipboard item was manually repositioned in the history in Manage & Search.
    • The same bug would also disable Send Clipboard To when "Move entries to top when ..." is disabled in ClipX 2.0.0.2beta2+
  • The rule import and export dialogs now each remember their last-used folder.
Sharing 1.2beta2
24 Aug 2026

Sharing Plugin

  • The following fixes require ClipX 2.0.0.2beta2 or above:
    • Fixed a bug that disabled Send Clipboard To after the current clipboard item was manually repositioned in the history in Manage & Search.
    • The same bug would also disable Send Clipboard To when "Move entries to top when ..." is disabled in ClipX 2.0.0.2beta2+
Save to Disk 1.1beta1
24 Aug 2026

Save To Disk Plugin

  • The Save as... dialog now starts in the folder you last saved to, remembered across restarts.
Snip 1.1beta2
21 Aug 2026

Snip Plugin

  • The instruction banner now follows the mouse to the monitor you are working on, instead of splitting across the middle of a multi-monitor desktop
  • Delay, Mode, and Magnifier choices made from the tray menu now apply to the current session only, instead of silently overwriting your saved settings. The saved defaults are set in the Snip config page, and applying the config also resets the session choices.
  • You can now switch the capture mode (Rect, Lasso, Window) while snipping, from the new bar at the top of the screen or with the 1/2/3 keys
  • The magnifier can now also be zoomed with the + and - keys, alongside the mouse wheel
  • The new bar also offers "Retake in 1s / 3s / 5s / 10s": clicking one closes the snip and retakes it after that delay, so you can set up menus or tooltips that the frozen screen missed
  • A Reset button next to Cancel discards the selection and all annotations and starts the snip over, without leaving the frozen screen
2.0.0.2beta1
20 Aug 2026

UI

  • Added multi-monitor High-DPI display support. Now renders at each display's real pixel density instead of being blur-stretched by Windows. Some plugins need the corresponding beta update:
    • Sharing 1.2beta1 (peer-status menu row sizes)
    • ColorPicker 1.5beta1 (magnifier crosshair and sampler icons, color preview).
    • MoreFormats 1.1beta1 (HTML and RTF previews rendering)
    • Snip 1.1beta1 (toolbar, magnifier, buttons, and annotation text)
  • On beta builds, the "ClipX was updated" notification and the Update page's changelog link now open the beta changelog.

Plugin Installer

  • More robust plugin installs on system-wide setups: the "finish plugin changes" prompt now always comes to the front, restarts tolerate slow shutdowns, and a manual start shortly after a restart still offers to finish pending changes. Failure notifications now include an error code to make support reports actionable.

Plugin browser

  • The plugin browser now shows beta plugin builds when ClipX is on the beta update channel, with a Beta badge on those plugins.
  • Plugin update checks on the beta channel now fall back to a plugin's stable release when no beta build is published, so stable-only plugins keep updating.

Updates

  • Beta builds of ClipX now always use the beta update channel.
