Cannot copy multiple files to clipboard 0 on macOS

Open happyTonakai opened this issue 6 months ago โ€ข 6 comments

Describe the bug I cannot copy multiple files with clipboard 0 (barely with command cb copy and cb paste). It only works for other clipboard such as cb copy1 and cb copy_420.

To Reproduce

cb copy theme.toml yazi.toml
 โœ”  Copied 2 files

cb show

Expected behavior All clipboards work as expected. Because the system uses clipboard 0. I cannot paste the files to other applications.

Screenshots Not applicable.

Version I'm using CB 0.10.0 from the Homebrew repos with macOS. I also tried CB 0.10.0 from Homebrew with Ubuntu and it works fine. Only has issue with macOS.

@happyTonakai Ok, do you mind running cb info and copying and pasting the output here? I can't reproduce this on my Mac Mini

Ok, try this: set CLIPBOARD_NOGUI=1 to check if this is a Clipboard or macOS issue. I can't find any issue that stands out from what you provided.

Ok, try this: set CLIPBOARD_NOGUI=1 to check if this is a Clipboard or macOS issue. I can't find any issue that stands out from what you provided.

After setting it, there are now multiple files copied in clipboard 0.

Same here. Doesn't work for me on macos as well. after CLIPBOARD_NOGUI=1 cb works well in cli but doesn't in GUI which is obvious I guess. Do you have ideas how to fix it?
