]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="update">We&#8217;ve released brand new major version 3 of our clipboard utility, <strong><a href="http://www.dextronet.com/fastpaste" target="_blank">FastPaste</a></strong>. FastPaste was the first utility that we&#8217;ve ever released, and this new major version is a <strong>complete</strong> rewrite.</p>
<h2>Declaring war on stupid typing</h2>
<p>In many jobs, you have to type something again and again, whether each day or multiple times a week. And not just one thing, but many different things. Again and again.</p>
<p>In our book, that&#8217;s stupid. It&#8217;s soulless work. Where&#8217;s the juice, the passion, the excitement in that?!</p>
<p>Human beings shouldn&#8217;t do stupid repetitive things. That&#8217;s what we have technology for. </p>
<p>FastPaste can do the stupid typing for you, so you can have more time for learning, creativity, real contribution, your family, friends, hobbies, fun and relaxation. </p>
<p>Did you know that 10 minutes saved daily is 60 hours in a year? That&#8217;s equivalent of one and half of work-week! In that time, you could learn a new language, launch a new project, go on several wonderful trips, get fit &#8211; or anything else that you love doing.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s just in 1 year. If you can save 60 hours <em>each</em> year, the extra <strong>life</strong> you will get stacks up rapidly.</p>
<h2>FastPaste is here to give you YOUR time back</h2>
<p>How it works?</p>
<p>Example: Pressing <strong>Ctrl+1</strong> can insert my name (&#8220;Jiri Novotny&#8221;) into any application.</p>
<p>FastPaste allows you to <strong><a href="http://www.dextronet.com/fastpaste" target="_blank">insert text with hotkeys</a></strong>. There are 30 clips (fields). Each has a customizable hotkey. The first clip has default hotkey <strong>Control+1</strong>, the second <strong>Control+2</strong>, and so on.</p>
<p>When you press the hotkey, FastPaste will automatically insert the text in that particular clip (field).</p>
<p>FastPaste can paste plain text, rich text (RTF), images.</p>

<h2>Keyboard scripts</h2>
<p>You can also create <strong>keyboard scripts</strong>, to send key sequences and/or combinations. </p>
<p>You can use the scripts to do many cool things, like filling various forms with just a single hotkey.</p>
<p>Here is an example of a FastPaste script:</p>
<p><code>John<br />
{TAB}<br />
hawai777<br />
{CONTROL}{ENTER}</code></p>
<p>The script above will type &#8220;John&#8221;, then send the <strong>Tab</strong> key, then type &#8220;hawai777&#8243;, and then send <strong>Control + Enter</strong> combination.</p>
<h2>What&#8217;s new in FastPaste 3</h2>
<p>Because the new version is a complete rewrite, there is nothing left unimproved.</p>
<p>The new features include:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Keyboard scripts</strong> that you can use to fill forms, send key sequences and key combinations and much more. It can emulate not just typing, but a press of any key or key combination.</li>
<li><strong>Encryption</strong> to protect your clips and data from unauthorized access</li>
<li>Portable &#8211; can be deployed to USB thumb-drive</li>
<li>New <strong>beautiful</strong> look and feel</li>
<li>Resizable window</li>
<li><strong>Docking</strong> support, so you can dock FastPaste into sidebar</li>
<li>Display clips in 1 column, 2 columns, or 3 columns</li>
<li>10 quick projects with global hotkeys; access over 300 clips with keyboard</li>
<li>Unicode support</li>
<li>Support for various screen DPIs</li>
<li>Better handling of global hotkeys, only hotkeys for used clips are registered</li>
<li>Smart detection of conflicting hotkeys</li>
<li>Nicer HTML export of hotkeys overview</li>
<li>Ability to paste images with transparency</li>
<li>Preview images directly in the main Fast Paste window</li>
<li>Ability to contact us directly from the program (using menu Help &#8211; Contact)</li>
</ul>
<h2>Download fully functional 30-day trial of FastPaste</h2>
<p>If you would like to give FastPaste a go, you can <strong><a href="http://www.dextronet.com/download/fastpaste">download a fully functional 30-day trial of FastPaste</a></strong>. The only limitation in the trial is that it can&#8217;t deployed to USB thumb-drive.<br />

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know that you can use clipboard (<strong>Ctrl + C</strong> and <strong>Ctrl + V</strong>) to copy tasks in and out of <a href="http://www.dextronet.com/swift-to-do-list-software">Swift To-Do List</a>? It couldn&#8217;t be simpler.</p>
<h1>How to copy tasks out of Swift To-Do List</h1>
<p>Simply select some task(s) in Swift To-Do List, press <strong>Ctrl + C</strong> (or use <strong>Edit &#8211; Copy</strong>), and they will be copied to clipboard. Now you can paste them anywhere. </p>
<p>If you paste them outside the <a href="http://www.dextronet.com/swift-to-do-list-software">task management software</a>, they will be pasted as a list of task names, one per line.</p>
<p>If you paste them back in Swift To-Do List (eg. in a different to-do list, or even the same one), they will be pasted as exact copies, retaining all fields, notes, attachments, reminders, recurrence, etc. Just the Creation Date and Change Date will be set to current date.</p>
<div style="text-align: center; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 15px"><img src="http://www.dextronet.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/copy-tasks-in-and-out-of-Swift-To-Do-List.png" alt="Copy tasks in and out of the to-do list program" /></div>
<h1>How to paste tasks into Swift To-Do List</h1>
<p>You can either paste a single line of text into our <a href="http://www.dextronet.com/swift-to-do-list-software">task organizer</a>, or multiple lines.</p>
<p>When pasting a single line in the task-view, <strong>Add Task</strong> dialog will be opened with task name prefilled with the text in clipboard. This also gives you the chance to edit the task fields and enter additional details.</p>
<p>However, when pasting multiple lines (eg. task list), <strong>Add Multiple Tasks</strong> dialog will be opened. You can edit the individual lines to make sure that only tasks that you want will be added. When you press <strong>OK</strong>, you can right click the freshly added tasks and use <strong>Batch Edit</strong> to specify the details of the tasks.</p>
<div style="text-align: center; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 15px"><img src="http://www.dextronet.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/batch-edit-tasks-menu.png" alt="Batch edit tasks" /></div>
