CopyPaste Pro beta ships
Script Software on Monday debuted CopyPaste Pro 1.0b, a beta update to the original multiple clipboard utility for the Mac. It offers a new instantly available window (like Apple's Application Switcher) that lets users navigate through the Clip History and Clip Archive as well as offers an editor called "Bean," which enables the users to edit clipboards. Rewritten in Cocoa and Objective C, the update also offers a new easier and simpler interface that follows the look and feel of Apple's Dock and Application Switcher and offers significant performance improvements, especially on Intel-based Macs and in Leopard. CopyPaste Pro is a Universal Binary for native operation on Intel- and PowerPC-based Macs and runs on both Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.
The software also allows users to browse any clip archive, drag images from Safari (to the clip history) and save all clips through restarts as well as provides tools to act on clip data.
CopyPaste Pro is $20 while in beta and will be priced at $30 after May 12th.

No, it's not beta!
I don't understand how this blunder was made by MacNN. But I can tell you as a long term beta tester for CopyPaste Pro that it is most emphatically OUT of beta. The beta testing is over.
What you get is the finished version of 1.0.0. Tada! And I like it a lot. It is much better than the previous PPC version and is almost worth the wait time. (It did take a long time to finish). It still has a couple bugs, as do any version 1.0 products, no surprise. But just yesterday I got a note from the developer asking for further testing to stomp them out.
Meanwhile, the pricing schedule until May 12 is totally kewl. Grab this most excellent, and IMHO, critical shareware for cheap while you can. Compare it to the freebie alternatives and see what I mean. [I am a real person, not a paid actor].
