Feature Request: Copy the contents of the taskbar Inspector to the clipboard

Kaelkitty 5 jaar geleden bijgewerkt 5 jaar geleden 4

I have been trying for years to find a program that will copy the names of all my open programs and files so I can make a notepad file to use to re-open everything.  This would do exactly what I want BUT there is no COPY command on the menu.

I have some serious disability issues with my vision and handwriting, so it is very slow and difficult for me to hand write the names of all of the open stuff every time I have to turn my computer off because of an update or whatever reason.  I don't know to much about programming.
Thank you, KK.

You can use the Ctrl+C keyboard shortcut to copy the text. Also, you might want to look at Textify, my other program which allows to copy text from almost anywhere in the system.

Hi RaMMicHael,

Why didn't I think of that, DUH!  That is part of my problems really - since my car accident in my teens, I tend to forget anything like a command that I don't use often, or where I put something in the house that I don't use often. SIGH!

I have tried Textify but I can't seem to get it to stay resident on my system - it would be a lot more convenient to use if I didn't have to open the program each time before I use it.  I could pin it to the task bar I suppose, but mine is getting very full as I already have 12 pinned programs.


Sorry about my previous post, It was supposed to end " I don't know too much about programming for Windows - I did my Computer Science studies between 1985 and 1992 - Windows didn't exist!" but I got overexcited and hit the post button without realizing I'd left that bit out.


I do want to say that I really like your approach to programming - light weight apps that do what they say and don't eat up system resources - that was how I was taught, back in the days when my allowed space on the University VAX network was only 64K.


I want to say thank you again, you have solved what was a very difficult problem for me, and I am going to go off line now and put it to good use,


Ciao, KK.

No problem, I'm glad that I was able to help you.

As for running Textify - when you install it, you have the option to set it to run at startup. That way it will always be running, so you won't have to run it manually.

Cool, I'll fix it on the next update.
