I take this opportunity to wish Samer tons and tons of good luck with the new design of freewaregenius. Thank God the recent problem with the website proved to be a blessing in disguise. Never a day passes by without me having a look at freewaregenius.

Cheers!!!

As far as the text is concerned, Ditto-CP (which I join a few other commentors here in recommending) does a good job. It copies, stores, and pastes these in Unicode without any problems (e.g. text direction, individual characters, letter and word order, paragraph structure, all remain the same).

It *does* have some small *formatting* issues with rich-text. It does not involve anything with the text itself, but only with the formatting (e.g. bold characters may lose the bold attribute when pasting from history, even while other things like colours and underline remain).

Either they do not handle them at all or handle them imperfectly or handle them correctly when they are in plain text format but incorrectly when they are in rich-text format.

Any good clipboard manager solution from anybody which will handle Unicode text in any format, perfectly, at all the times? I have not tried Xclipboard manager yet though.

Pros:
– Handles all possible clipboard contents
– Free & OSS
– Portable version available
– Handles “sticky” content in a very organised manner and allows you to group saved items
– Rock solid application – I’ve been using it for years and suffered not a single crash

Cons:
– Extremely customizable and the options screens are not as well organized as they could be (almost 20 options are grouped on a “general” tab)
