Bug ID: 439143
Summary: Option to dump clipboard history to text file?
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.22.2
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Clipboard
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: dashonww...@pm.me
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Basically my use case is that I often end up copying and pasting a lot of
things and it becomes a bit tedious to to go down to each entry in klipper and
then copy that to the corresponding file and then repeat that for however many
things I want to copy and paste. It would be nice to be able to dump the whole
clipboards history to a file, so that I can either just use that file or copy
and paste everything in the resulting file to the original. I don't know if
that makes sense, so for example lets say this is my clipboard.
1.apple
2. orange
3. peach
4. pair
The way things are now I have to click on apple then paste to the file. Then
click on orange and paste to the file. Then click on peach and paste to the
file...etc, etc. Originally I had tried to write my own script, but it would
seem that the history2.lst file that klipper saves its data too is a
Qdatastream object or something. I can't really use any of the standard tools
to convert it to plain text or to just grab the text. Currently it seems like I
need to dig through Qt programming to extract this data.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Copy a bunch of individual things. I usually do this with names of various
people, artist, and subreddits that I want to look up or write to a file to
remember.
2. Start copying each entry one by one to a text file.
OBSERVED RESULT
Notice that is extremely tedious.
EXPECTED RESULT
Have a button to export to a file
