Junk Yard · Troubleshooting the Junk Yard
Why didn't one particular thing I copied show up in the Junk Yard?
Short answer: It was probably skipped on purpose: a password or secret, the same as your last copy, too many files at once, copied from the Junk Yard itself, or made while Capturing was off.
The Junk Yard skips some copies on purpose:
- It came from a password manager, or an app marked it as secret or temporary.
- It was identical to the last thing you copied.
- It was a multi-file copy over your limit (25 files by default).
- It was copied from the Junk Yard itself.
- Capturing was off at the time.
Copies made while a skip applied aren't saved later, so copy it again — or add it with the Save clipboard shortcut (⌥⇧C by default).
