    Recently Ditto have problems to startup in Windows 10 ver 21H2. After fighting 2 days trying to fix it I decided to install CopyQ. Of course I need to get used to the new app, but my first impression is positive.

    That tool is open source and cross-platform.This is really important for me. I prefer tools which are available for every platform and want to support Opensource Projects.

    I found CopyQ a lot easier for saving clips to text files. Option to save in the editor & still able to copy item for naming vs Ditto's exporting

    Has same features plus interesting more features, e.g. structuring clips into categories of ten elements in folder. Easy to use and userfriendly interface. Tried Flycut before, but doesn't show an overview of the copied text. Best before was cutbox, but had some problems storing the History Limitation, so decided to delete it.
