Description

Downloaded Maccy from the App Store. For some reason I can only see two and a half screens worth of recent clipboard and no more than that. I dont see how that could be by design. The utility of the app is quite limited in that regard. Storage size is set to 300 but I dont think that matters. Can you help of im going to have to churn to another product, which I prefer not to. Thanks

Can you please check what's in the "Number of items" in Maccy Appearance preference?

I have size 300. I think all items get retained as expected but are only available in search. They are not available by scrolling. The issue I have is often I dont know how to search for a particular item. items are usually grouped together, but the one I need is not searchable. An image is a great example. Hence the retention period is misleading. In reality I get about a day worth of retention. I would like to go back a week. The utility of the app is severely limited in that regard in my view. I would have switched long ago but its the only open source app I could find that is credible. ;/ Not a happy user anyhow

@p3ngu1nx note: You can increase the number of stored items to 999. And then can also change the sort order to Time of first copy if you want to preserve the ordering exactly.

Additional question:

What is your use case for this? What workflow are you trying to accomplish where this is limiting for you?

p3ngu1nx commented 3 months ago

Increasing the number does not help. I just want to see and use the screenshot I have taken yesterday or the day before. It's not at all possible atm

p0deje commented 2 months ago

@p3ngu1nx Change "Number of items" to 0 in Maccy Appearance settings.

Thanks. Based on my first impressions the problem is solved!
