What is ClipStation?

ClipStation is an attempt at uniting the Drag Manager with the Clipboard. Drag-and-drop is a cool new way of moving data between applications, but not everybody supports it yet. Hence, you can use ClipStation as a Òway stationÓ between drag-and-drop and old-style cut/copy/paste.

When ClipStation is frontmost, it displays a window, showing the current contents of the Clipboard. You can drag a Finder clipping file into this window, and it will be copied to the Clipboard. You can then switch to a non-drag-savvy application, and paste it in there.

You can also copy something to the Clipboard, then bring ClipStation to the front, and drag the clipboard contents out of its window into another drag-savvy application (or Finder clipping file).

ClipStation is scriptable and recordable. It also supports QuickTime and QuickDraw GX. If you have a sound or movie on the Clipboard, you can click in ClipStation's window to play it. It will also display a QuickDraw GX graphic on the Clipboard, and let you zoom it in and out for a better look: hold down command and space and click to zoom in, hold down command, option and space and click to zoom out, or click without holding any keys down to restore the scale to 100%.
