1.0.2rc5 is released

The source can be downloaded here.

Here are the debian binaries (.deb) files:
i386
amd64.

V1.0.2rc5 Friday, September 9 2011
Changes
+Fixed the primary deselect and file cut/paste issue.

This is my second attempt to fix the ‘primary de-select/copy files twice’ problem. Somehow I had the fixed version on my box and released something else.

Please visit
The bug tracker to comment if this is fixed for you.

Please note: I do not test the i386 debs since the machine I build them on (Gutsy) is headless.

1.0.2rc4 is Released

The source can be downloaded here.

Here are the debian binaries (.deb) files:
i386
amd64.

v1.0.2rc4 Monday, September 5 2011
Changes
+Fix bugs introduced in clipboard code selection. Should fix primary deselect and file cut/paste issue.
+Applied FSF Address change patch from Andrew Starr-Bochicchio, Debian.
+Changed history limit to 1000.
+Applied build patch on new Debian boxes Andrew Starr-Bochicchio, Debian.

This is primarily a bug fix release. The primary selection was a code clean up bug, the others are build patches for the distro maintainer(s).

I wasn’t going to do anything, but since this bug is going to irritate a lot of folks, I figured I’d better get it done now. So much for paid work today.

NOTE (this should go in the man page…eventually):
Primary means mouse copy/paste, and this is the X ‘primary’ clipboard
Ctrl-C is the keyboard copy/past, and this is the X ‘clipboard’ clipboard
Syncronize means if you copy with either, it pastes immediately to the other one.
If not syncroized, if you use Ctrl-C, then try to paste with middle mouse, you will get whatever was in the primary keyboard (the last thing you copied with the mouse).

Hope that makes sense.

Enjoy!

Noted bugs in RC3 - will be delayed until end of Sep/Oct 2011

I’ve verified several of the recently filed bugs against 1.0.2rc3. I’ll address them when I have time. This job stuff sure gets in the way of more interesting things.

Sorry for the delay and irritation!  But I’ll get them squished. Until then, I’ve fixed the broken primary selection bug (in trunk, svn 233).  I may release rc4 ASAP with that fixed, since it is VERY irritating.

Cheers.

1.0.2rc3 is Released

The source can be downloaded here.

Here are the debian binaries (.deb) files:
i386
amd64.

v1.0.2rc3 Sunday, August 7 2011
Changes
+Fixed xdg compliance, based on patch by Victor Ananjevsky.
+Fixed Status Icon missing on execute Action.
+Fixed Capture Hyperlinks only
+Added Ignore Whitespace only
+Added Trim Whitespace
+Added Trim Newlines
+Fixed Actions having HTML markup in the clipboard entry.
+Fixed goption warning (pending verification).
+Updated Russian (Alexander Kazancev).
+Updated Catalan translation, position type. (Fuertes::Benjami)

I still have work to do, but many of the annoying bugs are gone.
Search-as-you-type still doesn’t work with all languages. I need to get with some friends of mine who have a different keyboard to debug this.

The documentation on the Ctrl/Shift right click behavior on the history just now made it into SVN. It will show up in rc4. I’m seriously considering adding a ‘permanent’ history list - perhaps with a drag/drop between the current history and the new one - and it would come up with a different hot key, or perhaps with menu item on the normal history menu. Still figuring this one out. Someone suggested this idea, and it occurred to me that I would use it a lot.

Enjoy!

1.0.2rc2 is Released

The source can be downloaded here.

Here are the debian binaries (.deb) files:
i386
amd64.

v1.0.2rc2     Tuesday, April 05 2011
Changes
+Fixed E, Alt-E (edit clipboard) not working bug.

Known bugs:

• Status icon disappears when executing Actions (fixed in svn).
• Search-as-you-type doesn’t work with all languages.

Thanks, vladdyokin, for providing feedback on this little detail that I did not test throughly.

Just a side note, but 1.0.2 will be the final release. I will increment the rcX number for each bug fix. I intend for 1.0.2 to be the last significant functional change, so please let me know the bugs you encounter. I reserve the right to change my mind.

Here’s how to use the new interface (copy of 1.0.2rc1 notes - one day they’ll be in the man page.):

I’ve got some really nice features for multiple deletes - makes cleaning up the clipboard history really nice, and pretty much obsoletes using the clear.  You can do shift-right drag now and it will mark the entries as ready for delete. Hitting Ctrl-right drag will select individual items, and it toggles the delete. When you’ve got all the items you want deleted marked (with strike-through), you hit enter and the deletion is done.

I’ve changed the key release to a key press so it reverts to pre-1.0.0 behavior.

To use the new interface, use the Ctrl or Shift key in conjunction with right-click. If you hold Ctrl, then it toggles the delete on a single item. If you hold Shift while holding down right-click, then it toggles each item as it enters the item.  To complete the delete, hit enter.

Enjoy!

1.0.2rc1 is Released

Parcellite 1.0.2rc1 has been released.

It can be downloaded here.

This has bug fixes and new delete features. Here is i386, and here is amd64.

v1.0.2rc1  Thursday, March 24 2011

Changes
+Move configure.in to configure.ac, fix so just links with gtk+
+Removed files autogenerated by automake tools.
+Added auto-insert svn version for svn builds.
+Changed item_length to go down to 5 and up to 100.
+Changed Hot Keys so they activate on keypress.
+Added Ctrl,Shift-delete functionality.
+Added debian package build script.

I’m not so brave to suggest it’s ready for a release, hence rc1.

Apparent key delay in 1.0.0 and 1.0.1

Can anyone confirm that the key delay is due to the fact that parcellite now uses key releases instead of key presses?  Does the delay go away if you hit ctrl-C followed by a key release?

Dev broke Clear in 1.0.0 and 1.0.1

Well, there’s quite a outrage about 1.0.1. It seems I’ve broken the clear history. It is fixed in src/main.c in trunk, however the workaround for now is to turn on search as you type, and use Alt-C to clear. I’ll see if I can’t add this as a programmable action under the Actions tab, so you can use any key-combo you wish. If you want to fix your source and re-compile, grab main.c and put in src/.
There’s also some confusion about the right-click-delete. It’s not perfect, and right-click delete does make the menu disappear, however you will notice that the next time you bring the history up, then entry you right-clicked on is deleted. I don’t really like this action, so I’ll try to figure a good way to change it.

I’m working on 1.0.2, which fixes some build issues, and fixes the clear history bug.  I may add a drag-select, and try to fix the clumsy right-click-delete.

There’s also reports about some keyboard delay. This may be related to the Alt-C that is active with the search-as-you-type.  I’ve not been able to duplicate, but I use Alt-H.  I’ll see if I can find it.  Sorry for the bugs!  That’s the problem with features, though.

Parcellite 1.0.0 is Released!

Parcellite 1.0.0 has been released. It can be downloaded here.

v1.0.0 Wednesday, March 2 2011
Changes
+Created new icon ‘parcellite’ and added it to install.
+Moved newline to after elipsizing (thanks, Christian).
+Added right-click delete.
+Added history location
+Added search as you type.
+Added Data Size limt.

Search as you type has a case-sensitive option and it changes the way the history works. Unchecking search as you type should restore the previous operation.
The new operation is as follows:
1) Alt-E/Alt-C must be used instead of the old accelerators e/c.
2) Background turns red when string is not found.
3) Finds search strings in any part of the string.
Also, I fixed the enter key not working, and the data size limit takes a stab at limiting the size of the data placed in the history, however it does not limit the size of the text placed on the clipboard which may still OOM the kernel for huge text copies (> system RAM size).
