Fix for 1Password problems

I like Paste. Its a simple app, with very few settings, buttons and commands, and I find that a good thing. I like the direct paste (enabled through a helper app downloaded from the dev’s website on setup), and I like that I can choose to paste a clip as plain text (by pressing Command-Enter instead of Enter, or through the contextual menu). The only thing missing is favourities, which the dev says is planned for an upcoming version.

I ran into a problem with Paste and 1Password. Originally, the app was coded to ignore items copied in 1Password (and I believe other popular password managers). I wrote to the dev, explained that I frequently copy information from 1Password, most of which isn’t a password, but even if it is, I can always right-click the clip in Paste and delete it when I no longer need it. The app was updated to allow for items to be copied from 1Password, but it still didin’t work for me. After much back and forth with the dev, we discovered that the problem was that I am using the non-MAS version of 1Password, which has a different bundle identifier. The dev will fix this in an upcoming version, but if anyone else is having the same problem, it can be fixed in the meantime by adding and then removing 1Password from the list of excluded apps in Preferences > Rules.
