#### Multi-format MIME clipboard buffer, hex dump & raster payload inspector

A real-time system clipboard MIME format analyzer, binary payload hex viewer, and multi-format clipboard composer for Linux.
A lightweight Linux alternative to NirSoft InsideClipboard for inspecting every simultaneous MIME data stream stored on the desktop clipboard or primary selection buffer.

Key features:

* Enumerates all active QMimeData formats on the system clipboard (text/plain, text/html, text/uri-list, image/png, and custom application MIME buffers) with exact byte lengths, Shannon entropy, and SHA-256 digests.
* Displays a formatted Hex + ASCII byte dump alongside decoded UTF-8/HTML text source and a live raster QImage preview whenever image data is present on the clipboard.
* Maintains an in-session multi-format clipboard history ring with one-click snapshot restoration and safe clipboard clearing.
* Includes a multi-MIME payload composer for testing custom MIME targets and exports selected format buffers as raw .bin files or complete JSON manifests.
