Actions are always appended as a second option in the list.

[navennn]

Hi,

I tried to start using actions in parcellite, but each time I use it, the actual value that I want is pushed to second place on the list.

Say, I copy manually some text 'dsadasdasdasdasdasdasda'

Then, press ctrl + alt + a ; and choose my 'email' option like so

The history looks like so:

I am ending up with the value I want pasted right away in second place on the list. Is this behaviour normal?

That does seem odd, but you are farther ahead than me - I've never used actions. I'll see if I can duplicate it here. Just to be clear, you are wanting to use dsadasdasdasdasdasdasda, but the action highlights 'preceded', correct?

[navennn]

I do action e-mail so I expect phrase '[email protected]' to be in the clipboard, but what I'm getting is 'dsadasdasdasdasdasdasda' (newest are on top, oldest on the bottom)

[rickyrockrat]

OK. What happens if you check both clipboards, then select synchronize? This works for me. I'll need to look into this some more. I wonder if you also have an entry not managed by parcellite.

[navennn]

It acts the same. Maybe that's somehow OS dependant? I know that you can't mark with mouse and copy using mouse3 click on ubuntu for example (in mint/cinnamon you can)

[rickyrockrat]

I was a little confused there, thinking you were using %s. I see that you aren't, but you should see the [email protected] to show up in the clip board. This isn't OS dependent - it is how parcellite adds it to the list. I can confirm that is how it is working here. It's not my original work, so I don't know how it was designed to work...But I'm thinking it looks a bit bugish.

I tried the same on EDITION="Cinnamon" DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 19.1 Tessa"
