![]() If you create a complex filter that you’re especially fond of you can save the filter to a file that you can share with other Pastebot users & you can drag a filter to a filter group to import it or just double-click on the file icon. You can also assign a shortcut key to quickly apply the last filter used. Custom filters can be organized into groups & a number of them come pre-installed with Pastebot, like “Wrap text in Paragraph Tags”, “Convert to Lowercase”, “Emoji Remover”, “Encode URL”, etc. Keyboard shortcuts can be defined to instantly recall the custom pasteboards into a quick paste menu.ġ of Pasteboard’s most interesting features is the filters, which enables the ability to modify clippings before you paste them. Pasteboard stores the last 200 items you copy & with its custom pasteboards feature you can store permanent clippings which will never go away until you manually delete them or delete the whole pasteboard. Pastebot creates custom pasteboards for those clippings that you use most often & powerful filters can be applied as you paste. It’s already great for automatically clipping little snippets of information from around your iPhone, and I’d imagine the syncing aspect is only going to get better with subsequent releases.With this versatile clipboard manager you no longer have to rely on your vanilla copy & paste function that comes with Mac OS X. Pastebot is still on sale for $2, so if you’re anticipating a need for a clipboard manager with some kickass Mac syncing possibilities, then I think this app is well worth the Toonie investment. I definitely appreciated the Twitter help from Tapbots, though, and I certainly don’t mind waiting a while for better photo transfer functionality. Preview.app almost offers a solution, but you can only ever save your iPhone -> Mac pictures as thumbnails. Pasting pics into Finder or iPhoto doesn’t work (although iPhoto pics can be copied straight to Pastebot). ![]() Shawn Blanc did a lot more testing in this area than I did, but I have learned that you can’t easily send pictures from an iPhone to a Mac through Pastebot. You can easily paste text to and from the Mac with Pastebot Sync, but photos and other things aren’t quite as simple. Pastebot is still a little too literal about copying and pasting in 1.0, but the devs have been hinting that that could change with future updates. I’ve been using Evernote to upload my pictures one by one to my Mac, and then I drag them from the Mac client right to the desktop for upload to the site. I’ve tried throwing a few of my Notes app drafts straight into WordPress and it’s worked like a dream, so my toonie is already well spent right there.Īnother thing I’m also looking forward to is the ability to copy photos. ![]() Evernote’s two-way sync is great, but the iPhone app just chews up iPhone text and garbles it up when I try to paste it into WordPress. I’ll probably take to drafting articles within the Notes app now, instead of using Evernote like I have been for the last couple of months. I’ve read that you can paste thousands of words into Pastebot and it will still transfer them perfectly, so I tried it with a couple of hundred and saw the results instantly. The currently copied item just slides right into place from the top of the screen, and copying an item is as simple as tapping on it and waiting for the light to turn blue. One thing I already like about the app is that is how it picks my clipboard up so quickly and naturally. I’m not completely sure about how Pastebot will fit into my workflow yet, but I’m looking forward to toying with it more in the days to come. I often load up my text notes or the relevant app as I type out a review, so I always have a handy reference as I write posts up. I believe I use the very same stand that Mark Jardine shows in the Vimeo-hosted Pastebot demo (I think it’s the Just Mobile Xtand), and it actually turns the iPhone into a fantastic little Mini-Me monitor. First of all, the core functionality of the app totally fits in with the current way I’ve come to use my iPhone.
