does anyone know if there is a way to set your clipboard in photoshop to hold more than just your last copied or cut item? so that perhaps you could archive all the items you've copied while a particular file is open and select which one to paste etc?
I ask because a few weeks ago i accidently clicked the wrong window to close and my fingers were faster than my brain and i clicked don't save without double checking which file i was closing. i had only saved once really early on so i pretty much lost everything. (in my defense i had just finished the project and was up for around 24 hours on about 3 hours sleep- i'm pretty sure they call that freelancing) I know the lesson here for the kiddies is to save and save often, and normally i do, but i guess sometimes you have to re-learn lessons every so often so they stick. i can't really complain, i'm a firm believer in "stupid should hurt".
anyway, i'd copied and pasted most of the elements in that file at least once, and i would have been able to create the whole thing very quickly if i could have accessed some sort of archive of things that had been on my clipboard, but i couldn't find a way. i hope i don't need that again for the same reason, but it got me thinking of other instances it might be useful, and i wondered if there is a setting or anything that enables your clipboard to hold more than one item. anyone heard of anything like this?
