Testing v0.9

So I searched for some text - the list filtered ok. I then hit backspace until the search field was empty when I noticed the assertion message in the picture

testing v0.8

Can I suggest that the clipboard automatically filters after you type two or three characters? - this will speed up finding and selecting stuff.

Can I make a gentle suggestion - ignore if you don't want to go there.

In essence the applet is here to record & access clipboard entries - so the popup should just have a search field and the rest to be a scrollable list of clipboard entries. That will simplify the immediate interface to what the end-user will be using the applet for.

Any options such as Edit Mode/Private Mode/Empty Clipboard/anything else won't be used that often - so it doesn't need to be in the initial popup.

I would suggest next to the edit field have a ">" or other icon for "options". Clicking that will move the GtkStack to reveal the empty clipboard/edit mode/private mode/anything else in the future. The user then clicks the "<" to move back to the main GtkStack view.

Testing v0.8

Can I make a suggestion that in the applet settings there is an option to paste automatically when selecting a clipboard entry?

I note the intention is to save clips to the gsettings schema. Can I kindly suggest that this practically will not work.

For instance - you could copy megabytes of text from - say - a libreoffice document. This wouldn't go into the gsettings schema - there is a limit - I forget how big - but its certainly not megabytes.

Also - if the future intention is to support images then images won't go into the schema - a file/database format will be better from a future expandability point-of-view

Suggestion is that manage the clips via a .config/budgie-clipboard-applet local folder - either via file based or some-sort of mini SQL type lightweight database.

Error in Terminal :

move_index: assertion failed: (length > index)

which eventually results in :

[7]-  Done                    budgie-panel --replace
[8]+  Aborted                 (core dumped) budgie-panel --replace

Steps to Reproduce this issue:

• Enable Edit Mode
• Copy 2-3 or more text to clipboard
• Remove them using X one-by-one

Now budgie panel core dump will happen, to fix this temporarily open terminal and type debug command from Readme.md, this will restart budgie panel

Testing v0.8

Whenever you copy any text you see what appears to be debug messages in the terminal which as a little unexpected.

Can I make a suggestion for a possible future enhancement - I see that the last used clip is in bold which is great.

I'm used to seeing the clipboard entries ordered by last used (most recent first) - so that your eyes are always guided to the first few entries.

So the listbox is ordered by date (most recent used).

It click to copy doesn't copy text to clipboard due to button connect being in for loop and if i pass variable j variable from the loop to it then it doesn't work.

Fixed by assigning a variable named copy to j as it was earlier out of scope, Reference below:

Sad to see vala doesn't list it in any of their forum or docs.

Testing v0.9

So in my setup I've got a QEMU 21.10 Ubuntu Budgie with the clipboard applet running.

On my host which happens to be 20.04 Ubuntu Budgie I have the budgie screenshot applet

I was taking a screenshot - I noticed when I was using the screenshot applet to copy the image in the virtual machine with the clipboard applet I saw two string_strip messages.

In addition I can see extra rows in the list box which I'm guessing is the attempt to copy the image (?) but as text (maybe)?

Testin v0.8.9

When clicking on any clips - I see lots of assertion errors as per the picture

Describe the bug
A blank row is always inserted at the top of the list of clips on restart of the panel

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

killall budgie-panel
rm -rf ~/.config/prateekmedia
budgie-panel --replace &

Delete the blank line and restart the panel again - note the new blank row again.

Expected behavior
not a blank line

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Distro: UB 20.10
• Applet Version 0.9.9

Additional context
N/A

Like Ctrl+ F9 to clear clipboard content
Ctrl+F10 to open popover
Ctrl+F11 to Get to previous clip
Ctrl+ F12 to Get to Next Clip

testing v0.8

There appears to me lots of blank rows you can click onto under the 3/10 in the picture which was a little unexpected.

Looking at v0.8

I saw two switches - edit mode and private mode.

I don't know what they are supposed to-do - its not really obvious - maybe add a tooltip for these to describe what they do?

Easy but will add when it seems complete

Notification for selecting new text or previous text from keyboard shortcuts

Trying v0.8 as per the README - Note - is this an official version because I don't see a release/tag for v0.8

Clicking the empty label - that's a little strange to be able to click. But anyway - doing so you see lots of assertion failed messages in the terminal

Testing v0.9

When pasting formatted text (e.g. libreoffice writer) - when pasting it converts to plain ascii.

This in itself is a very useful option - but really the formatting of the copied text should be retained and applied when pasting by default.

Describe the bug
After running ninja -C build install it doesn't show up as an option to add to the panel.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. pull down source
2. compile and install
3. Go to Budgie Desktop Settings to add to panel
4. See no option to add to panel

Expected behavior
Option to add to panel
