Thanks, I appreciate the reply!

You may be right about share-ability being important. It would be nice to see some validation of that. For example, users sharing Precursor docs full of their custom components, encouraging other users to copy the items. We might build a couple of those ourselves to see if it gets any traction.

We anticipated that problem. You can delete the clips that you don't want to keep and star the important clips to keep them at the top of the list. They're also ordered by creation time, so the cruft will just fall to the bottom.

For updating clipboard items, you'd have to go through the steps you describe. But it wouldn't be especially difficult to allow people to edit the clipboard items from the menu.
