seems to be a great CHP replacement just one thing to start - import of the old json file not working?
by Uday Saroj, 2025-01-15

I also switched over from Clipboard History Pro, and this is a great replacement. The only thing I'd like to to be able to have the same sort order as before - so when I copy out of the extension it bumps that text up to the top of the order, regardless of when I had originally copied it.

Andy has saved us all! I have been a user of the old Clipboard History Pro for years. When the end was on the horizon, Andy jumped in with CH IO. He is very responsive and new features are coming all the time. The extension is solid and very helpful. Note for CHP users: You can export in JSON format and import directly into CH IO. History and Favorites - Voila!
