Makes sense. Changes in it are not earth shattering IMHO.

Well, no special reason really except that I haven't… The cost was great, I expect the changes it brings are helpful, but I live on a fixed income and can't always afford the cutting edge. I do keep up with all things Mac though and I understand another large OS upgrade is coming soon (?) so I will definitely be on that if possible. I splurged on an iPhone 3g just "moments" before the 3gs came out so I'm hanging in and waiting on the next OS leap. This time! 😉

Just updated the post to reflect the Snow Leopard requirement. Why haven't you upgraded, just out of curiosity?

I have really enjoyed using Pastefire, however, I don't leave automated actions turned on (you can toggle this on or off under settings (the small gear in the upper corner of the app screen when you launch it)). I realize turning this off kills some of the cool factor but I find it works as needed for me, and I don't have to cancel out of something that launched unintended by doing it this way. You might at least give it a try with the automated function off and see if it's useful then…

Oh, and PatrickJ, I came in excited to see there was now a Mac desktop version, but it seems to be Leopard only, and I haven't upgraded. So. Phooey. ;D But I still love Pastefire, it's been a timesaver for me! Thanks for your article!

Hi John. Most of the time, the auto-action just works. URLs go to Safari and similar. With the example of an email address and wanting to do an SMS instead, you'd just hit Cancel on the new email it opens for you. That takes you into Pastefire itself, with the email addy still on the clipboard, and another button to open SMS and paste in the name. Less than ideal on this one for now I guess.
