Anyone ever found the cause of this issue?

Ted Holien posted a comment on discussion Help

I might have answered my own question. Somehow the clip that I have been editing since forever has Rich Text Format among its copy formats. I delete that, leaving only the CF_UNICODETEXT format, and now when editing Ditto brings up the clip in Notepad. I don't know how the RTF copy format was introduced into this clip, but I'm good to go now.

Ted Holien posted a comment on discussion Help

Lately the editor that Ditto brings up for editing clips is opening Microsoft Word. I preferred the old simple Notepad-like editor. How do I get that back? I looked at all the Ditto options and didn't see anything in this regard, nor am I finding other discussions about this. Thanks.

Just found Ditto, after using ClipX for many, many years - my new work laptop won't allow me to use it but was allowed to install this from the Microsoft Store. One feature I use all the time with ClipX is the sticky clips, and was glad to see these are supported in Ditto. However, I'd prefer to have them AFTER all of the dynamic clips, rather than at the top. I limit the number of clips in the pop-up window to the max the screen can handle, so in ClipX they are always at the bottom, and would like...

Hello. I'm currently using 3.24.246.0 and can see the regex search being case-sensitive. Is it possible to let users turn off/on case sensitivity for regex search? Even better would be to have a entirely separate option for case sensitivity so that even the regular search's case sensitivity can toggled off/on. Like: Search Option > Case Sensitivity > Off/On. Thanks.

Searched google/reddit/here but didn't see anything. I open Ditto through a hot key, but when I click anything outside the window, it closes Ditto. I want Ditto to stay opened until I manually close it with Escape or mouse. If I set Always on Top, it stays, but I don't want that because when I click Escape, it'll reduce to the title bar and stay there. I just want it close when I manually do it, but stay open otherwise. Thanks

1) in options - Keyboard Shortcuts - Copy And Save Current Clipboard. Set a key combination here you want to use. 2) Disconnect Ditto now. => 3 dots > Disconnect .... 3) use the key combination set in 1 4) the clip will be saved even Ditto is now 'disconnected' meaning normal Ctrl+C is not saved.

Some apps have problems pasting back into the correct location or edit control. When this happens it's best to either press ctrl-c to place the clip onto the clipboard and then make sure the app you are pasting into has the cursor at the correct location and then manually press ctrl-v, or If the paste doesn't work by pressing enter on the clip the data is still on the clipboard and can manually be pasted with ctrl-v.
