Inventive, Inc. (http://inventive.us) announces the release of iClip
version 3 productivity software for Apple Macintosh computers with OS X.
iClip is a multiple clipboard/scrapbook application designed to improve
user efficiency and productivity for various computing tasks.

contents. File aliases can now be stored in iClip, adding file launcher
capabilities to it. iClip 3 now operates without appearing in the Dock,
saving valuable space. Other enhancements include the ability to name
clippings, to aid in quickly identifying them, and new “action buttons”
that provide easy access to various clipping functions.

iClip functions as a floating window that allows users to store and
retrieve various clippings, such as text, pictures, URLs, movies, etc. in
it’s multiple bins. Clippings can be arranged into groups to keep users
organized. iClip helps eliminate redundant typing, especially in tasks like
filling out online forms. It’s widely used to assist general purpose tasks
such as word processing, web browsing, and research, while webmasters,
graphic designers, and programmers also find iClip to be useful in their
more specialized tasks.

“For iClip 3, we’ve continued to improve it’s usefulness by adding all-new
pop-up previews and file launcher capabilities. iClip now uses the
Valentina database engine for increased performance and future
expandability. We also recruited renowned Mac graphic designer, Mike Matas,
for some great new artwork,” said John Casasanta, President of Inventive.
