How to stop the process? about clipboard-master HOT 11 CLOSED

@HuakunShen I published 4.0.0-beta.3 that has significant refactoring to x11 clipboard and introduces Shutdown channel for all platforms

from clipboard-master.

Something like https://users.rust-lang.org/t/using-arc-to-terminate-a-thread/81533 or https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26199926/how-to-terminate-or-suspend-a-rust-thread-from-another-thread

from clipboard-master.

Right now there is no way to stop it because I just never had need.
I can consider implement some signal in a simple manner

It also can be problematic because thread blocks waiting for clipboard event (windows and X11)

@HuakunShen btw what platform you use?

@HuakunShen btw what platform you use?

I am using MacOS but I am actually building cross platform apps for all 3 OS.

Thank you for your work!

@HuakunShen You can try my branch on mac os, but x11 needs more thinking on implementing shutdown as X11 bindings in Rust are quite crappy for use

from clipboard-master.

It works on Mac, thanks. Any update to X11? I read the source code. The X11 version is indeed so complicated.

from clipboard-master.

No, sorry, unfortunately I didn't find any way to do it properly with X11, there might be some ways, but I'm yet to invest time to investigate it

from clipboard-master.

Thanks! I will try to get this and Wayland working when I got time.

I'll appreciate PR, but please note that most likely you'll have to re-write whole X11 code base
x11-clipboard doesn't expose any functionality to perform timed await for change so likely you need to use x11 crate directly

@DoumanAsh Thank you so much!
