Ditto 3.17

The functionality the Scott Brogden-developed application is not immediately obvious from its title, as is the case with many other applications out there. For that reason I am going to have to spell it out: Ditto is a clipboard extender. It is an application that extends the functionality provided by the Windows clipboard. It saves each item placed on the clipboard and gives you easy access to the aforementioned items.

To better put things in perspective, here are Ditto’s main features:
- Can save any sort of data the clipboard can, including text, images, HTML, and so on.

- You can access the data saved by Ditto whenever you want.
- It sits in the system tray, out of the way. You can access Ditto from the system tray icon or by using hotkeys.
- When sent over the network, data is encrypted.
- Can keep multiple computers’ clipboards in sync.
- Displays thumbnails of copied images.
- Full Unicode support.
- Extensive language support. When installing Ditto you will be asked to pick the language of your choosing; you can choose between English, French, German, Japanese and even Romanian.

Before you go get Ditto and put it to the test, take a look at the technical details presented below (it may be worth your time to check them out):

Download – the download weighs in at 4.8MB, which isn’t very much. Getting Ditto off the web and onto your computer will only take a moment.
Supported OS – should work just fine with any version of the Microsoft-developed Windows operating system.
Limitations – there are no limitations since Ditto is freeware. You can use it free of charge for as long as you want. If you like it, consider making a donation though.
