Junk Yard · What gets captured

What happens when I copy several files at once?

Short answer: Several files copied together land as one card. Up to four show on the card; with more you open it to see the list, Copy all, or open, copy or show in Finder any one file.

They land together as a single card. Up to four files show right on the card — click one to open it, or use its copy button. With more than four, the card shows a short summary; open it to see the full list.

From the list you can Copy all to put every file back on the clipboard at once, or open, copy or show in Finder any single file.

Very large batches are skipped so the board stays quick — by default anything over 25 files in one copy. You can raise that limit in Settings. See Why wasn't my big batch of files captured?
