    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
