Common questions

FAQ

The PowerClick option doesn't appear in Finder's right-click menu.

The Finder extension needs to be manually enabled. Open System Settings, go to Privacy & Security > Extensions > Finder Extensions, and make sure PowerClick is checked. If it's not listed, try quitting and relaunching PowerClick from the menubar, then check again.

The extension shows as inactive (orange dot) in the menubar.

Use the "Refresh Status" option in the menubar popover. If it stays orange, go to System Settings and verify the extension is enabled. Sometimes macOS disables extensions after an update -- re-enabling it there fixes it.

New File from Clipboard is not showing up.

This option only appears when your clipboard contains text. If you have an image, file, or empty clipboard, the option is hidden. Copy some text first, then right-click in an empty area of a Finder window.

My clipboard history is not being tracked.

Open PowerClick's Dashboard, go to Settings, and check that the clipboard watcher is turned on. Also confirm you haven't set the history limit to 0. If you're copying passwords, those are intentionally skipped when "Ignore Passwords" is enabled.

A file I created doesn't open automatically.

Auto-open is an opt-in setting. Go to Dashboard > Settings > Finder and enable "Auto-open After Create". The file will open in its default application after creation.

How do I reset everything back to defaults?

Open Dashboard, go to Settings > About, and use the "Reset All Data" button. This clears all snippets, clipboard history, activity log, and preferences. The action cannot be undone.

Does PowerClick work on Intel Macs?

Yes. PowerClick is a Universal Binary and runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
