xcmenu - lightweight clipboard manager for X (formerly loliclip)

Cloudef · 2012-10-21 12:35:58

Can I have the output of this when you are able to reproduce the bug.

for i in $(loliclip -h | grep -o "text/.*"); do loliclip -b "$i"; echo "\n----"; done

~ >>> for i in $(loliclip -h | grep -o "text/.*"); do loliclip -b "$i"; echo "\n----"; done
\n----
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa\n----

this is when you follow steps from before, just after 8:

Seems like the Beginners forum text is in some selection.. This is the same bug as the libreoffice one and the CLEAR_SELECTIONS will remedy it. And there is no easy workaround since I can't decide in which order to give the selections to application.

for i in $(loliclip -h | grep -o "text/.*"); do loliclip -b "$i"; echo -e "\n--$i--"; done

Can you give me output with this again, so I know from which selection it is, thanks.

That line is identical to the one you gave before?

Cloudef · 2012-10-21 12:47:54

Oh, sorry about that. Modified the post above.

I should mention that if I try to paste in gcw in the last step instead of Gmail textbox, it works fine and pastes "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...".

P.S. I edited the post above. I missed the last line that said "--text/html--".

Cloudef · 2012-10-21 12:55:30

Yeah, the text is in text/html, where firefox takes it from.

Can you try put these to 1 in config.h:

 REGISTER_SELECTION("text/plain", 1),
 REGISTER_SELECTION("text/richtext", 1),
 REGISTER_SELECTION("text/html", 1),

Does it still happen? This is quite bad workaround.. And I think making CLEAR_SELECTIONS default would be better.

EDIT: Actually, I have good idea.. brb

Still the same.

Šaran · 2012-10-21 13:17:39

One more thing - I'm not sure if this comes from dwb or loliclip.
Copying from dwb's command line (or current url or new tab field) with ctrl+c only closes dialog (nothing in lolictrl or "for i in $(loli...)", but right click copy works.

Cloudef · 2012-10-21 13:41:47

Pushed update to git, can you test again and post the output of the command before.

That's dwb.

karabaja4 · 2012-10-21 13:51:52

It works now for me, it pastes aaaaaaaaaaa

~ >>> for i in $(loliclip -h | grep -o "text/.*"); do loliclip -b "$i"; echo -e "\n--$i--"; done

--text/uri-list--
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Why doesn't it work for Šaran now ... ?

Now it's different but it still works:

--text/uri-list--
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
--text/plain--

--text/richtext--

--text/html--

Cloudef, could you please elaborate a bit on what was wrong?

karabaja4 · 2012-10-21 14:09:32

New problem - now copying images in Gimp doesn't work (after you copy, close Gimp, open it and try to paste the copied image).

Cloudef · 2012-10-21 14:25:17

Should be fixed now.

There was nothing wrong. I just introduced new options to config.h that allows to workaround the issue, without using CLEAR_SELECTIONS.
Basically the special selections marked with reset bit, gets reset when new data is copied.
Also now every special clipboard can have their own shared data block, or sperate one.

I think everything works now.

Thanks for your effort!

Šaran · 2012-10-21 15:09:48

It doesn't work here. I have tried removing loliclip, history, rebuilding few times, and even rebooting.

Even before this latest change, your output of the "for i" line was different from mine. You are probably doing something different to reproduce the bug.

If you would write your exact steps we could try to reproduce it exactly.

P.S. Also, make sure you have the latest git version (2.4-3).

Šaran · 2012-10-21 15:51:59

I have 2.4-3.
I'm doing everything like you do, only difference is Geany instead of gcw.

Kill loliclip, delete ~/.local/share/loliclip, start loliclip deamonised (-d).
Copy text on Arch forums in Firefox, then close it.
Open geany, type aaaaaa and copy it. Close geany.
Open Gmail in Firefox and paste in new mail. I get text from forum in new mail, but aaaaaa in everything else.
I can't paste aaaaaaaa in Gmail even if I select it in lolictrl.

I'm not able to reproduce with your steps. Do you have modified config.h?
Does this happen even if you use CLEAR_SELECTIONS bitflag?

Šaran · 2012-10-21 16:14:50

My config.h isn't modified and it works with CLEAR_SELECTIONS.
