JMichaelTX [Clipboard] ADD Alert to Max Number of Clipboard Items

+:!: **Alert**:  You should **never** set the max number of items to zero.\\
+If you set the max number of items to zero, then the Copy action will fail.
 **Maximum Clipboard Flavor Size** (default 100MB)

+**Ignored Clipboard Flavors**
+You can add additional clipboard flavors to be ignored using:
+<code bash>
+defaults write com.stairways.keyboardmaestro.engine ExtraIgnoredClipboardFlavors "com.whatever.badflavor"
+</code>
+The string should be a bar (`|`) separated list of flavors (technically a regular expression). These flavors will be excluded from the clipboard when Keyboard Maestro reads the clipboard.
+You can also write to `IgnoredClipboardFlavors`, which will set the entire list of ignored clipboard flavors, but that is a bad idea since the flavors that are ignored, are ignored for a reason, and overwriting the list will produce negative results.
 **Maximum Position of Concealed (Password) Items** (default 10)
