My frontend to Gpaste. (Now it is a complete program.)

[frank38]

I need clipboard, and I want it almost complete.
After some search, I found Gpaste for my desktop.
But a feature is missing, the preview of copied images.
So I decided to write by myself a simple frontend (about 190 lines of code).
Here is the screenshot:

Ok, the image is too big please open it in another window of your browser.

I can empty the history, delete each item and of course choose any item.

What do you think?

NO, you should fix it and use a thumb nail. Or just use plain text and a link to
the image:
Attachments, How to post a screen shot and use code boxes
And :
Please learn to thumbnail images
Thank you

The image I uploaded was the right size, but the hosting site enlarged it.
----------
Uploaded another image at 640x480, nothing changed.

um.
where's the code?

It's here, in my PC.

From what i remember clipit does the same thing

look, no offence, it's your code and you can do whatever you want, but why start a thread about it when you don't share it?

I have yet to add a couple of line of code.

Can it handle images? I don't think so.

[frank38]

Well, I think the program is finished.
I join a new updated screenshot (please click on the link below):



(Here is the same at bigger size: http://i65.tinypic.com/zjtmi9.jpg)
The first picture has been resized: it's a 1920x1080 image.
In the second element of the history:
- [...] that means the element is longer
- and before the newline character
Then:
- the vertical scrollbar
- the program closes after clicking on one item
- a dialog to confirm to empty the history

There is a bug in the Gpaste daemon: sometime an image is replaced by another one.
I've decided to write everything adding new features, such as persistent elementes. At the moment the program is 25% complete.

Look's promising. I've used several clipboard applets including clipit, over the years. It's an indispensable function, to me. Some are better than others, but have yet to find one that does all things I expect, satisfactorily.

[debiman]

^ yes, let's be encouraging.
maybe op will share the code one day, finally giving meaning to this monologue...

+1!

keep on coding! you can do it!

[frank38]

Attached is the early python program:

md5: 83618807cc3c1039a5ff6ca2fe54b8e9

It's the same program I've been using.

At the moment the daemon is finished: it stores text and images.
Follow a long testing...
I think I'll integrate it into the applet (almost done), just not to have many processes.
