I’ve been using parcellite since I switched from KDE (where I used klipper) to Xfce4.

Thank you for making it and actively developing it.

This is because Appindicator breaks any ‘alternative’ menu actions.

Appindicators have to behave all the same, so clicking the indicator will only get you the preferences. In sort, Unity decides how indicators work, not the applications. I can no longer provide different actions for Ctrl-Click, right-click, or Left-click behavior (or any other kind of click). There is only one behavior, and that is to show the menu.

If you want to check out how parcellite used to work, use a different window manager other than unity, and will need to use the 1.1.4rc2 branch in SVN.

You bring up a good point, though. I need to provide access to the history through that menu. I will do that post-haste… It has been added in 1.1.4rc3 -thanks for bringing that to light.

I have both “Use copy (control-c)” and “Use primary selection” checked. Ctrl + Alt + H works ok, but the appindicator doesn’t display my clipboard history…
Rickyrockrat: Please send me an email. I’d like to discuss how you think it should work. I find Unity too restrictive and therefore don’t use it, so I depend on the community for feedback on how they think it should work. -Thanks

My confusion on the bug. The visible selection was disappearing after the mouse is released. It is fixed in SVN 338, and will appear in 1.1.4. Thanks, Einar for all your help!

I also launched openbox and ran chromium, version 23.0.1271.97, and still no disappearing selection.

This bug was fixed with parcellite 1.1.1, but please use the latest revision, 1.1.3.

I am using google chrome, and 1.1.3 which I just downloaded from sourceforge, and I do not see this running Unity, 12.04.1

Perhaps you are running an older version?

Sadly, the disappearing selection bug has returned (it reappears at commit 285, “major rewrite of clipboard handling”; 284 is good).

To reproduce:
1. have “use copy”, “use primary”, “synchronize” settings checked;

2. open any page in chrome (I use google-chrome, but I suppose chromium will do as well),

3. try selecting any part of the address, using mouse.

Observe that the selection disappears almost immediately, not even letting to select all text.

That’s because you have to set the clipboard to actually capture in preferences. Most of the boxes have tool tips so you can figure it out.
If neither of the clipboard entries are checked, it doesn’t build a history. Look at the tool tips.

Are you using the hot keys to get to the history? Ctrl-Alt-H is the default for the normal clipboard.

Thanks! 1.1.3 runs, but the appindicator doesn’t display the clipboard history but only “About” “Preferences” “Save as” and “Quit” options…

Done. Try 1.1.3. I’ve verified it works here. The joys of fresh code.
