Description:

taker. It provide several baskets where to drop
every sort of items: text, rich text, links,
images, sounds, files, colors, application
launcher...
Objects can be edited, copied, dragged... So, you
can arrange them as you want !
This application can be used to quickly drop web
objects (link, text, images...) or notes, as well
as to free your clutered desktop (if any).
It is also useful to collect informations for a
report. Those data can be shared with co-workers
by exporting baskets to HTML.

Changelog:

Now, you can download the development version of
what will be the next generation of BasKet.
It's already usable for daily use, but some
features are not finished (no way to edit tags

it's all animated, faster, and without flicker
