From the “Holy crazy fast development, Batman!” desk…

Pro wrestler and Mac developer The American Balloon has released version 2.0 of PopCopy, a complete re-write of the multiple-item clipboard utility for OS X. Version 1.0 was released early this month. From the press release:

PopCopy’s Menu Bar addition shows the user what is currently in the clipboard, and lets him/her place something he/she had previously copied, back into the clipboard.  The user can also select an item by pressing a user-defined (by default Command+Shift+V) hotkey combination, which presents the user with a menu to choose a previously copied item, and when the hotkey is released, places this item into the clipboard, and pastes it into the frontmost app.

PopCopy 2 was completely rewritten, sports new features like customizable hotkeys, a new hotkey interface which lets the user preview three items at once, and better item previewing in the menubar, letting you see a submenu with the full path of a file, a larger preview of an image, or a longer preview of text.  PopCopy 2 also adds support for text from Microsoft Office, something which previously didn’t work, due to Office’s odd handling of clipboard text.

PopCopy 1.0 was featured as Deep Thought’s Geek Toy of the Week on June 3.
