Monitor Clipboard, add a Clip on copy
Whenever you copy anything in one of the supported formats, a new Clip will be added with what you copy. Turn it off when you want to work a while without BriefClips capturing copies. This option is exposed as a button on the toolbar as well.
When a Clip is selected, copy it to Clipboard
BriefClips is designed to make your work easier. When a Clip is selected in the Clipbook explorer, it is automatically copied to the Clipboard, so you can go to any application window and paste it. If unchecked, selected Clips are not copied automatically.
On Clip delete
Available choices: Do not delete Clip files, Ask what to do, Delete Clip files. This only applies to the Clips that have been saved and controls what BriefClips will do with the files it saved for the Clip you are deleting. One reason to leave the files would be if a Clip is a picture and you no longer need the Clip itself, but want to keep the picture files.

Display system tray icon

You can take a screenshot, set options, toggle Monitor Clipboard and Top settings, and close BriefClips from the system tray icon. Also, when a new Clip is added, you see the icon change to the Clip format icon briefly. That serves as a visual confirmation when you have BriefClips minimized and work on collecting Clips.
