More About Pasteboard Viewer
This application is designed specifically for developers, serving as a utility that allows users to inspect the various system pasteboards on their Mac. It can be particularly beneficial for developers who want to verify that their applications are correctly placing data onto the NSPasteboard. The app operates in real-time, refreshing the pasteboard contents live and providing a preview of different data formats such as text, RTF, images, and any content that can be displayed using Quick Look.
Importantly, it should be noted that this application is not a clipboard manager, so its functionality may not be relevant to those who are not involved in Mac development. Its primary audience is developers who require an accurate assessment of their application’s interaction with the pasteboard system. Consequently, users who do not fit this profile may find little use for the app's features.
The application also includes a feature that allows users to keep the window in front of other applications by selecting the "Stay in Front" option from the "Window" menu. Additionally, users can navigate through the pasteboard items using the up and down arrow keys, making it easy to switch between different pieces of data they are inspecting.
To enhance usability, the app automatically hides outdated system pasteboard types that have been replaced by more modern equivalents, ensuring that users are only presented with relevant data formats. For convenience, users can right-click on an item in the sidebar to copy its type identifier. Should users need support or wish to provide feedback, they can easily access the “Send Feedback…” option found in the “Help” menu within the application.
