Hello Friends!
I’ve been using clipit a lot lately but I noticed the ‘items’ keep on getting deleted. Forgive my ignorance but I cannot find a setting that would prevent that. I set the “Items in History” to 500.
thank you for your time.

If you have enough clips collected, in the menu (from clicking the clipit tray icon) does show the newest ones, as you set with the value “Items in menu”. At least in theory, as 100 items will near to sure not fit on your display. Select a lower value, which makes sense.
Actually clipit collects more clips, than the number of those, which shall get displayed in the menu. The limit is set with the value “Items in history”. You can see them, if you open from the menu the command to edit the history. Only if you add more clips as the set number – in your case 1000 – the oldest clips get automatically removed. Again, the number 1000 appears as a far to high value, hardly possible to get handled. I never used such a high number, so I cannot tell, if this slows down the program, in any case it will increase the needed amount of memory dramatically.
Static items means, that those items do net get counted for the max number of items and those static items will never get removed automatically. Static items have to be set by you. If you have opened the window for editing the history you can select a clip, open it for editing and have there the choice to make it static. The settings allow you to define, how many of them shall additional to the normal clips in the menu (in your case 100 and again far too much).
To give you an example: I have set the “Items in history” to 50, the “Items in menu” to 20 and the “static items in menu” to 10 and this works very well for me. But in the end all depends from: how many static items are really needed for you, how much items allows your screen to display.
Note that clipit collects only textual clips, no binaries like pictures, which do not get collected and do not count regarding the settings.
