What's new in PureText 6.2
Mar 28, 2019
- Added support for Windows Store. If you are on Windows 10 (version 1607 or newer), you can now install, uninstall, and automatically get updates for PureText from the Store.
- Added some warning dialogs if PureText is already running. This can help resolve some confusion if you have multiple versions of PureText on your computer.
- Localization file can reside in the app directory, the user's local app data directory, or the system's app data directory. This is needed to support Window Store installs that don't allow access to the app directory.
New in PureText 4.0 (Mar 1, 2016)
- Pasting now happens when you press your hot-key instead of releasing it. You can also press-and-hold your hot-key to perform multiple pastes.
- Added hot-key information to PureText's option dialog, which provides details about known hot-keys and possible conflicts when picking a specific hot-key.
- Fixed issue where PureText would sometimes stop working after pressing Win+L or Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
- More hot-key combinations are supported and a few problematic hot-keys have been blocked.
- PureText will now warn you if you are running PureText.exe from a temporary folder or if PureText.exe is marked as 'blocked'. These can happen when PureText.exe is ran directly from the zip file that is downloaded from the internet.
- PureText.exe is now digitally signed with my publisher certificate, which makes Windows and some virus protection programs happier.
- Fixed some pasting issues with Firefox and Thunderbird on Windows XP.
- Added /N startup option to start with no icon.
- Added /U startup option to uninstall registry entries.
New in PureText 3.0 (Jan 8, 2013)
- Fixed issue that prevented many Hot-Keys from working on Windows 8. You can once again use WINDOWS+V and many other Hot-Key combinations.
- Fixed pasting issue with Firefox 17, Thunderbird 17, and other Mozilla products.
- Added support for using the ALT key in Hot-Keys.
- Adding a Windows 64-bit version of PureText for the first time.

- Changed the default Hot-Key to WINDOWS+V.
- Removed the ability to create Hot-Keys that include the ALT key, as the ALT key prevents the Paste feature from working.
- Fixed some issues with the Hot-Key capture dialog.
- Blocked all Hot-Keys that contain CTRL+V, as they cause problems with the Paste feature.
- Fixed an issue that only allowed up to 30,000 characters to be converted.
