Wow. This is fantastic. Something to make it LIGHTS OUT would be on the Mac appâ�¦maintain a clipboard history and make it available to sync or select on the Mac to paste into other apps. Something like ClipMenu, Clipper, iClip, Clips, ClipX, yadda yaddaâ�¦

Great work.
Thanks.

One of the best UI available.
Great thing is copying stacks of pictures from Mac to iPhone – so I can get “galleries” of pictures without the need of iTunes sync which cannot be manually done but only folder-based (or iPhoto / Aperture). And I can edit the pictures! Fun.

Switching off WiFi is pointless – if you compete in battery life, then ok. But I’m not. I switch it off only when I KNOW there’s no wifi spot around for many hours (i.e. travelling) or when being in “energy crisis”. And I notice no big difference in battery life anyway…

@Spencer I agree with you!
I would love to see this Sync on Windows.

You can’t really claim that data gets pushed to your phone when it requires local network WiFi.

I got suckered into this when I saw the word “push” and it’s simply false advertising.

The WiFi on my iPhone is almost always off to save battery. Turning it on every time you want to import stuff into Pastebot sort of defeats the purpose of the convenience.

I could use AirSharing for that.

Great UI, though.

First of all, congrats on your wonderful app – could make it to be one of my most used ones in no time. Pasting image files directly to the Finder works great, but I’m somewhat missing the possibility to copy + paste any document or even whole files as it worked for me with the previous version. Also, I very much like that I can copy + paste vector data, e.g. to and from Illustrator. Very neat and I use it a lot! But unfortunately it doesn’t work as flawlessly as pasting images or texts. So, improvement on that would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

@Gospel9: The compression is something on Apple’s side, not ours. Not much we can do to control it, unfortunately.

Oh I guess that makes sense. It felt a little weird for me to not need to press Cmd+V to do a paste that’s all. It works wonderfully by the way.

I noticed another thing. When doing “Import image from Library” from pastebot, it copies a JPG compressed image instead of the original. When opening the Photos.app and doing a manual copy, then pasting into Pastebot, it shows up as the original (PNG).

@Gospel9: Not sure what you mean by that. If your finder is in focus on the mac and you do a “paste to mac” action, it will copy that image to the finder. That is intentional.

Ehh.. it seems to automatically paste the images (PNGs) into the finder after the first copy+paste. Is that intentional?
