--- Comment #13 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
I had a feeling. So the setting you want in the config dialog is:
Non-text selections: (o) Only when explicitly copied
...Whereas the default is:
Non-text selections: (o) Never save in history
There are a few bugs here:
1. "only when explicitly copied" is an inaccurate string because it doesn't
tell you what will happen for non-text selections that are explicitly copied.
2. With the default "Never save [images] in history" setting, copying an image
anyway makes the image appear as the top history item anyway, so it's not
obvious what's going on. Under the hood, this image is merely appearing
temporarily, and isn't actually being saved to the history, so if you reboot
the machine, it won't be there anymore. But that's not obvious
3. When this happens, the thing shown as the top item is an image *icon* rather
than an image *thumbnail*.
Proposal:
1. Change the text of the middle radio button icon to "Only save to history
when explicitly copied"
2. Make that option the default
3. When using the "Never save in history" option, show a thumbnail for copied
images instead of an icon
What do you think, Jonathan?
