The Gadgets and old ModernGadgets Clipboard Meter are essentially identical other than styling. So it's no surprise if there is a problem with one or the other. The problem with these (and pretty much any Rainmeter-based clipboard skin, and probably the reason why raiguard dropped it from his ModernGadgets suite) is that these skins all use the same plugin to handle the clipboard. This plugin has never worked well and the original author has long-since abandoned it. No other plugin exists, to my knowledge.AtmaDarkwolf wrote: ↑April 17th, 2022, 8:19 pm Hi back again and (sorry) another issue (repeating issue that always seemed to fix itself before and/or I could offset the issue using the 'old' modern gadgets version ...)
Anyways. Clipboard meter will work for some time, then randomly (and I cannot track down exactly when it happens) stop recording clipboard items until I refresh the meter. (which by this time is prob too late for what I was using it for)
I used to bypass this problem by just using the old modern gadgets version, with it set at 100% transparency perfectly snapped in place above/in-front of the new one the new one (with new one set for click though) and it worked fine (it would display the proper items, and would retrieve clipboard items from the old version sitting in front of it but 'invisible')
Anyways I hate to keep bugging you guys about this suite of gadgets cuz they are the best at what they do(IE hence why i keep using them) and look great, but the clipboard one having these issues(and my old 'trick' no longer working) was hoping someone could track down the problem(or know what is happening here)
So, unfortunately, I have to say that there is no fix. There is nothing I can do to fix the flaky behavior. It is what it is. If it is not working dependably for you, then your best bet is to find a non-Rainmeter based alternative, because any Rainmeter skin is just going to have the same issues as these. Even Windows has a decent clipboard history now in Win 10 and later, which you can access with Win+V.
Sorry about this! I wish I had better news for you....
