What the icons in NotchStar clipboard rows mean
Each row in NotchStar’s Clipboard list has a small picture on the left that tells you what kind of item it is. You can scan the list by icon before you read any text.
The four kinds of row
- Link icon: a web address. The text starts with http or https, has a site name and has no spaces. A link with a space inside it is shown as plain text.
- Lines icon: plain text of any other kind, a sentence, a number or a code snippet.
- Thumbnail: an image you copied. The label reads Image with its width and height.
- File icon: a file copied in Finder, shown with the same icon Finder uses for that file type. The label is the file name.
What the text shows
The text is trimmed and shown on one line. A long copy is cut off with an ellipsis at the end of the row. The full text is still stored and is still what goes back on the clipboard when you click. Search looks at the whole text, not only at the visible part.
The icon at the right edge
When you move the pointer over a row, a copy icon appears. After you click, it becomes a green checkmark for about a second.
Limits
An address such as notchstar.com without http or https is shown as plain text, not as a link. Only web addresses starting with http or https count as links.
See images and files for the other row types. The tool is on the Clipboard feature page.
