ArsClip Official Release

Version 5.46 of ArsClip has been released. While this is mostly a maintenance release, there are some notable new features.

There's a new Popup location option: Program Center. This will show the Popup vertically and horizontally centered in respect to the current foreground window. Previously, Program Corner was the only option before the custom Popup control was created. Now, it can accurately find the center and calculate the Popup's size before showing the Popup.

Permanent Clips on the Popup that have global hotkeys are now marked. When hovered, the hotkey is shown in the Menu item. So, it's much easier to identify and re-discover the hotkeys for these clips.

A few minor Macro/JavaScript updates are included. Popup Clips can now be deleted in JavaScript without having to run an AC Macro command. The CLIPBOARDFIND macro now supports finding and replacing Unicode characters using the "\uXXXX" format, where XXXX is the hex number of the Unicode character.

Rename Master Hotfix Release

I've released a hotfix (v4.04) to address some issues with the previous release. This fixes an issue with auto-preview and an possible issue with loading scripts. These issues mostly only occur for a new install of v4.03 of RM.

25 Years and a New Program - JMoveIt

This is the 25th year anniversary of the joejoesoft website. This small hobby freeware site has served millions of pages, millions of download, and used over 2500 GB of bandwidth in that time. I've probably received one thousand donations in that time and have over 4000 email threads from users.

I've also added a new official utility, JMoveit (Just-Move-it). It's a very specific tool to work around issues moving programs between monitors. The program's page describes the usage in detail. This utility has been in beta testing for many months and should be one of the most polished releases to date.

This setup program for this release was built with a new version of the setup compiler. So, the optional setup program is now larger but seems to operate identically. As always, you can copy the program's EXE to a folder to manually install the program.

ArsClip Official Release

Version 5.44 of ArsClip has been released. This update contains a few notable major changes and a lot of fixes.

First, the biggest change revolves around JavaScript. AC uses the already-installed JavaScript support in Windows. Technically, this is called JScript - a subset of JavaScript. In later versions of Windows, this uses the Chakra JScript engine. AC will now automatically detect newer installs and uses the highest JScript version possible (which can be overridden in the ac.ini file). So, AC's JavaScript support should include any features you'd expect to see in IE11.

JS Support in general has been updated. There's now an option to enabled the "STAYOPEN" feature for JavaScript clips in the "_Clip Menu" group. The "Edit Permanent Clip" window has been updated with more features to make working with JS clips easier - including some new JavaScript functions.

In Edit Clips/Macros, the lists have been reworked for better visuals. For the History tab, the icons and the highlighting have been updated. For the Permanent Clips/Macros tab, the list now use an icon to show the type of clip: JS, AC Macro, Plain text, Picture, HTML, RichText. The Global Hotkey is shown in the right-side of a list item to make it easier to identify and read. The "_Alter Clipboard" and "_Clip Menu" special groups now show checkboxes for enabled items on the list.

Finally, AC now uses a custom HTML control for displaying HTML Clips. This was first implemented for the Tooltip Hint to test stability and is now used in almost all parts of the program for displaying these clips. This feature has been updated to make dark text on a dark background readable. Also, the font is now scaled smaller for Tooltip Hints.

Rename Master Hotfix Release

I've released a hotfix (v4.03) to work around an issue with Dark Mode support. This only occurs when the Renaming Script is long enough to need scrolling. For now, the ScrollBar in this location will not be drawn correctly, but it also will not freeze the program.
