Release notes

Pastery 1.4.0

Thank you for supporting Pastery 🥳

Feel free to reach out with feature suggestions.

This update brings lots of new exciting features to Pastery based on all of the feedback received from the community! 🥳🥳 Pinboards, multi-select paste, a quick text editor - and makes the overlay more reliable after sleep, display changes, and switching Spaces.

New

• Pinboards are here! Pin any clip with ⌘P (or right-click → Pin) so it never expires, and organize pins into colorful named boards. The new Pinboards button sits right next to the search field.
• Added a quick text editor — press ⌘E (or right-click → Edit) on any text clip to tweak it in a focused, native editor, then save it straight back to your history.
• Multi-select — hold Shift and click a card (or press ⇧← ⇧→) to select a range of clips, then Return to paste them all in the order shown, or ⌥Return to paste them in reverse order (oldest first). ⌘-click adds or removes individual cards. Text clips are joined with newlines; images paste one after another.
• Settings → History now does what it says: clips older than your chosen period are cleaned up automatically, and pinned clips are always kept. If you already have a history, it's set to Forever so nothing is removed — pick a shorter period whenever you like, and Pastery asks before deleting anything.
• Image files copied in Finder now show a thumbnail on their card and a full preview with Space, and you can search them by the text inside.
• Drag several selected images or files out at once — they arrive as real files in Finder, upload fields and other drop targets.

Improved

• The history view now opens and closes faster, springing cleanly into place with no overshoot.
• The history view now shows up to your latest 3,000 clips instead of only 200 (search still reaches your whole history), and stays fast because older images load on demand.
• With the default Show / Hide shortcut, hold ⌘⇧, press V, then Return to paste as plain text without releasing the modifiers. Documented in Settings → Shortcuts.
• Pin / Unpin can be rebound in Settings → Shortcuts.
• Added G2 squircle corners to clipboard cards and the overlay for a softer, more native shape.
• Made the search field border more prominent for clearer focus and hover states.
• Removed the "Pastery" wordmark from the overlay's top-left corner for a cleaner toolbar.
• Added Save As… to the card context menu for images and text, with ⌘S support; text exports default to .txt files.

Fixed

• Fixed Pastery sometimes showing your license as invalid after a restart, and re-entering your key reporting too many activations. If a check can't reach the server, Pastery now retries on its own — or click Check Again in Settings → License.
• Fixed the overlay sometimes becoming invisible or ignoring the hotkey after sleep/wake, connecting or rearranging displays, or switching Spaces. One press now opens it on the screen with the pointer.
• Fixed the hotkey dismissing an overlay you could not see (another Space, offscreen, or fully transparent) instead of opening a fresh one.
• Fixed paste-then-reopen leaving the overlay in a stuck state after repeated use.
• Fixed switching Spaces or clicking another app while the overlay was open pulling you back to the previous app or desktop.
• Fixed Return not pasting immediately after opening — the first clip is now selected as soon as the overlay appears.
• Fixed a drag finishing late dismissing a newly opened overlay.
