qlipper icon indicating copy to clipboard operation
qlipper copied to clipboard

let user set any number in Clipboard Entries Cound

Open lopippo opened this issue 8 years ago • 6 comments

I have used Klipper up to now. But I would like to fade away from KDE at the moment (exploring awesome as WM) and thus I would like to have qlipper working for me. I use Klipper as my second memory and have set it to store very large numbers of items. Why do you limit the number of entries to such a low number ? I have compiled qlipper on Debian 8.0 fine and set the value to 2000, let's see what's going on.

Thanks. Fiilppo

Is the menu presenting the items usable with such a huge value?

no, not really

No, but there is in KDE a clever way to serialize all the items to the screens progressively, because one of the items is a "More" item that will serialize a new set of items for the clipboard history. The number of items actually shown at any given moment is limited by the height of the screen. I find myself often going back many "More" buttons back in history.

How do you do this?

A more button or scroll bar along with infinite clipboard items and search function would be amazing. Bulletin is the only clipboard manager that I've seen that has all that, but sadly isn't compatible with KDE.

Now, when you said it... something similar, that we have in nm-tray or mainmenu in lxqt-panel (scroll area in menu), can be done here...

Actually I was partially wrong, Bulletin doesn't have a scroll bar and shows limited items. But it does save infinite history to a file and has a pop up search box that can search it. Something like that would be very useful IMO.
