Ability to store unlimited clipboard data

[naqushab]

Thanks for this app. A great alternative to Ditto Clipboard manager on Windows. Ditto has an additional ability to store unlimited clips ( I know it is sounds too much), but maybe you can add that too), or instead of slider we can actually input a number?

Again, thanks for this wonderful app.

FYI, this is not an issue but a feature enhancement, it should be tagged as such.

I understand that it would be cool, but what's the actual benefit of having unlimited history? I am fairly certain it will cause issues (slow search, NSMenu issues) and I don't see any value for me to have it. Can you elaborate?

Closing since no reply for more than a month. Feel free to re-open and provide more info.

I would like to have a much more larger history than 999 but not unlimited.

Do you have any particular number you would like to store? Thank you, Alex

How about 15k or 20k? I'm not sure if it slows down the search. I usually only use text copies as my work involves too many copy pasting and it's helpful to search it from one place than switching webpages. Also, does the app have any feature to ignore specific text just like histignore in bash?

Fuzzy search is getting slow on 200+ records, but the real problem is that we have to hide anything above 999+ from the menu, otherwise the menu itself will be slow and slow loading. I'll need to investigate this in more details.

No, there is no such thing, you can only ignore by app or pasteboard type.

I agree with this feature.
Why not adding an Unlimited checkbox next to the slider (which can gray-out the slider?).
Auto-disabling fuzzy search in this context can be a life saver for people.

What if you placed a limit on the menu size? Say limit the menu to 300 - I'm pretty sure few people scroll that far down - and then only enable finding items by search. At the end of the 300 items a "show more" option can be shown.

I need to figure out #384 first because right now all the history is stored in memory. Once I tackle this, I'll try to implement unlimited history.
