What earthly reason could there possibly be for an application, whose SOLE purpose is to convert current clipboard contents to plain text, also creating a new folder within the user > Library > Containers folder that holds aliases to EVERY FOLDER within that user's own home folder?I call shenanigans! O-:> Now, I am not a code jockey, so perhaps there is a practical purpose for that, that is simply beyond my understanding.... However, discovering it immediately set off this old-fashioned MacHead control freak's internal 'intruder alert!' klaxon and literally made my skin crawl as well. Needless to say (but I will), I root-searched my hard drive, and everything with 'getplaintext' and/or 'zipzapmac' in its name was tossed into ye olde Trash can and secure-emptied posthaste.Note also that AppCleaner did NOT detect the presence of this folder when I used it to trash the Get Plain Text app, so if you use it (or a similar utility) to uninstall software, you'd also need to bop into your Containers folder to grab and trash that sucker by hand.So-o-o, in summary, if you are thinking about taking this one for a test drive, proceed at your possible peril. (Or not. (-;)
Text Formatting In Word
Plain Clip is a tiny Mac OS X application which will remove formatting from text which is on the clipboard. It's designed as a faceless application (i.e.: no graphical user interface, with the exception of the preferences window), which makes it ideal for triggering it from a hotkey / launcher applications such as Spark or LaunchBar. Creating a message without using any text formatting results in the mail client using a Plain Text format regardless of the email client settings and the original message format. Such behavior has been observed also in earlier versions of Mac OS X.
