Finder clippings are a wonderful idea that most people don't use because
they're such a pain to deal with. Ever tried to find the right clipping
among a bunch of "Text Clipping 1", "Text Clipping 2", etc? It's not too
bad with one clipping, but more than a couple leads to long sessions in
the Finder assigning useful names, wasting the time you saved.

ClippingNamer helps you manage clippings. Without leaving your current
program, you can:
* Automatically assign a new name based on the (text) clipping contents.
* Automatically create a thumbnail image (icon) for picture clippings.
* Popup a dialog that lets you see both ClippingNamer's and the Finder's
suggested names, and use either one or a new name you type.
* Save text or picture clippings as SimpleText files instead.
* Append text clippings to existing files/clippings instead of creating
new.

You can set any of these modes (or none) as the default, and invoke any
of the others with modifier keys (completely customizable). There are
several other convenience options as well.

With v1.3.2 you can now:
* Save the clipboard to a clipping via a new FKEY.
* Save the clipboard (or current selection) to a clipping via a new
Contextual menu.
* Both accessories work even without ClippingNamer installed - they are
free standalone utilities.

Use either or both as you wish: they make notetaking much easier in
programs that don't support dragging clippings to the Desktop, such as
Internet Explorer.
