Portage Clipboard

Bigger images, and clearer answers when something can't be sent. NEW • Images up to 32 MB. The limit was 2 MB; images now travel both ways at their original size and quality. • Settings shows how much space stored copies take on this device, with a button to clear them. • On iPad, Portage now sits in a centred column instead of stretching across the whole screen. IMPROVED • When an image or text can't be sent, the app says why in plain words and names the limit, instead of a technical error, a reason that wasn't the real one, or nothing at all. • Turning on device approval is now a two-device step: one of your other devices approves this one to finish it, and you can cancel while it waits. • When two of your devices share a name, the app now tells them apart where it matters: when you remove one, and when it tells you which device to open. FIXED • Turning on device approval from your iPhone could leave the iPhone itself waiting for approval, and unable to switch approval off again. • The approval count could say a device was fully approved while it was still waiting. • A device that was on your account before you turned approval on was called new and described as cut off. It is neither, and the app now describes it correctly. • Text you had already sent could be sent again when Universal Clipboard handed it back from your Mac. • While this device was waiting for approval, the Devices button did nothing, and a message could sit over the Pair device, Devices and Settings buttons. • A long Diagnostics list could draw over the heading beneath it. WORTH KNOWING • An image over 2 MB arrives and syncs, but can't yet be copied back onto the clipboard from your list. Tapping it tells you so. • A very large image may appear in your list as its description rather than a picture. It has still arrived. • Files — PDFs, documents, archives — are not supported yet.
