How to blacklist file Gtk3 FileOpen dialog
Describe the bug
How can I blacklist a File Open dialog? Currently using Xfce on Linux. When opening a FileOpen dialog (which should be a Gtk3 dialog by default), and starting to type a path like "/usr/local/bin", every single keystroke gets selected. Selection means adding to PRIMARY. I'm also tracking PRIMARY: Preferences->General->[x] (2) Store text selected using mouse That means the clipboard history in copyq is flooded by all the keystrokes.
How would I blacklist the File Open dialog, similar to https://copyq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#how-to-omit-storing-text-copied-from-specific-windows-like-a-password-manager ? How can I match a single dialog? I guess the dialog is running on the process like Firefox and I don't want to blacklist the whole Firefox application from copyq.
Version, OS and Environment
copyq-8.0.0, Gentoo, Xfce, X11
This is not a bug. Unfortunately, a lot of apps mismanage the primary selection buffer (mouse selections).
If you know the window title of the dialog, you can block it using a custom command.
If you do not care about storing the mouse selections, try disabling "Store text selected using mouse" in CopyQ Preferences.
The Window Title for the simple Open File dialog is "Open File". It seems to work after I followed https://copyq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#how-to-omit-storing-text-copied-from-specific-windows-like-a-password-manager Thanks.
