WhoPaste 1.0 Is Ready!

One of the most silly activities I can think about is copy-paste. Obviously, it's no big deal to do it a few times a day, but when you really have no alternative but do major copy-paste work, it really becomes something I'd only wish to happen to my worst enemies. For example, if you have some contacts nicely arranged in a text file, and you need to extract name, address, and phone number, all in individual fields of a database.

"Austin based Mac-Chi is pleased to announce WhoPaste 1.0, a powerful contact acquisition utility for the Mac OS X Address Book. WhoPaste can create an Address Book contact by extracting the name, email addresses, phone numbers, street addresses, websites, even instant message handles from the current contents of the clipboard. WhoPaste is invoked by a user-configurable global hot key, so it is instantly available in any application. Address Book is not required to be running."

Now you know that WhoPaste can handle a task similar to the one I described in the beginning, but I guess we should also see the detailed features of this program, don't you think? OK, here we go...

- Instantly available in any application
- Customizable global hot key
- Automatic citation of the source of the information
- User review of proposed contact record prior to saving
- Many defaults available to customize behavior
- Add contact to as many as 3 Address Book groups
- Return to current application immediately after dismissing review window (save or cancel)
- AppleScript support provides for creating a contact from current clipboard or the contents of a file
- Built-in application version update notification and self updating (Sparkle)

Priced at $10, WhoPaste 1.0 is available on its own website, and the good news is that, as long as you have at least Mac OS X 10.4, a G3 processor running at 400MHz should be enough to run it! Oh, yeah, one more thing - once you download the app, you'll have 12 days available to try it for free! ;)
