Clipboard management system

GPaste is a clipboard management system. See https://www.imagination-land.org/posts/2012-12-01-gpaste-released.html for more information about what clipboard managers are.

Translators can use weblate to contribute.

A library is available for development purposes:

• libgpaste contains all the basic objects used by GPaste and allows you to manage preferences and the GPaste daemon.

A default daemon named gpaste-daemon is provided, with seven keybindings:

• show history
• pop the item from the history
• sync primary selection with clipboard
• sync clipboard with primary selection
• mark the active item as being a password
• upload the active item to a pastebin service (using wgetpaste)
• launch the graphical tool

A simple CLI interface is provided: gpaste-client, with a subcommands: gpaste-client ui which makes the graphical tool pop.

A native gnome-shell extension is provided.

/!\ Don't forget to run gpaste-client dr aka gpaste-client daemon-reexec after upgrading GPaste to activate new functionalities ;)

You can then run gpaste-client daemon-version to check the correct daemon is now running.

Steps to install it after cloning:

mkdir builddir
cd builddir
meson ..
ninja
sudo ninja install
sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

You can see everything I'll post about GPaste there.

Latest release for GNOME 45 or 46 is: GPaste 45.1.

gpaste's Issues

gpaste-settings errors with schema no key save-history

When I try run /usr/libexec/gpaste/gpaste-settings, I get this error:

GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gnome.GPaste' does not contain a key named 'save-history'
Trace/breakpoint trap

My configuration:

• ubuntu 11.04
• gnome 3.1 from https://launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/testing
• autoconf_2.68 from ubuntu oneric
• GPaste version: 1d5848c Sun 11 Sep 2011 13:51:37 SAST "don't store blank strings"

I had a previous version of GPaste installed so I did :

sudo rm /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.GPaste.gschema.xml
sudo make install 

but it did not help.

grep save-history /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.GPaste.gschema.xml 

returns:

    <key type="b" name="save-history">

I also tried manually running

sudo /usr/bin/glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas 

but that did not help either.

Super modifier cannot be bound (GNOME Shell interferes?)

It is not possible to use V or H as keybindings. Could this be because the GNOME Shell interferes? If so, maybe the binding should be done in the extension code. This could also make compatibility with Wayland easier, especially should the compositor prove the only one able to catch global keybindings.

Opening Gpaste using clipboard shortcut issue

gpasted & huge history files

Hi Marc-Antoine! I very much appreciate all the work you've put into GPaste. It's awesome.

In a recent project I was working on, I ended up copying huge amounts of data (100-300MB) to my clipboard (independent of gpaste) for testing on my Fedora system. When all was said and done, I realized that I had left gpaste on and tracking during all the experimenting, and sure enough, the daemon was no longer responding.

gpasted fails to start every time I attempt to load it--pegs the cpu for about a minute, then dies. The same happens if I try to use the client to empty history.

However, once I ran an lsof command and saw where the history file was stored and deleted it, all was well. Problem is fully-reproduce-able. Things work fine up to 50MB. Add on another 50MB and gpasted dies.

I feel kinda weird opening an issue for this, because I don't REALLY expect gpaste to be able to handle such huge clipboard sizes, but I just thought I'd give you this report in case it gives you any thoughts about how to improve your awesome app's handling of when users do stupid things. :)

Couldn't connect to GPaste daemon - daemon autostart not installed

On the latest trunk from Sat 17 Sep 2011, I see the following error in the gpaste menu:

(Couldn't connect to GPaste daemon)

ps -ef | grep gpasted reveals that it deamon is not running.

If I manually run /usr/libexec/gpaste/gpasted, and restart gnome-shell, then it works.

My understanding is that gpasted is started by the dbus daemon. I dug around for dbus log files, but could not find anything.

Hotkey don't work

Hi,
I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu Gnome 14.04LTS. GPaste 3.10 works so far, unfortunately I don't get a reaction on any of the hotkeys. Changing the key setting to another combination doesn't help.

Constant memory usage on v2.2.1

Downloaded from the webupd8 repo and am running on debian sid/gnome3. Gpasted is running constantly at around 12%.

Gentoo installation

Hi,

I just updated my Gentoo to gnome3.8 and I wanted to install gpaste 3.2 but I have this error:

Any pointer ?

Gnome shell 3.8 Extension

Is this available for 3.8 ? Please upgrade. Thanks :)

Couldn't connect to Gpaste daemon

Hi, I'm not being able to use your extension. Actually I'm running GS 3.1.4 (ubuntu 11.04) and did the following:

cd GPaste
./autogen.bash --enable-gnome-shell-extension
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

Editing metadata to include 3.1.4 release everything seems work well (that means the extension appears) but it keep dropping the message "Couldn't connect to Gpaste daemon" where it should place the paste history. What can I check?

The extension was working when I installed it for the first time on 3.1.2 GS release...

Thanks in advance, your work is very brilliant :)

Nice day

Icon is disappearing, when external drive is connected

Hi!

After a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10 the gpaste icon in the upper right gnome-shell bar is disappearing, when an external drive is connected. When the external drive is detached and a reload of gnome-shell is done, the icon appears again.

I was not experiencing this on Ubuntu 12.04 before, even though I had nearly the same configuration.

The off. Gnome 3 repository is used (https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3).
Gpaste and the according extension was installed from: https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/gnome3

Do you have any clue what could be causing this?

Best!

not able to activare gpaste legacy applet

Hi,

I'm currently using GNOME3 Fallback mode due to problems with ATI drivers, and wish to activate and use gpaste.

I compiled enabling legacy applet, but I can't add it to the panel... Is there anything else I need to activate in order to use it?

Memory Usage too big

Using the Gimp (copy/paste) or copying image files in nautilus makes gpaste use all my memory, making the system higly unusable.

If I delete the history nothing changes, I have to kill the process gpasted in order to return to a usable system.

I'm using $ apt-cache policy gpaste gpaste: Installato: 2.8.1-1~webupd8~precise Candidato: 2.8.1-1~webupd8~precise
on Ubuntu 12.04 with Gnome-Shell 3.4.1 and the extension $ apt-cache policy gnome-shell-extensions-gpaste gnome-shell-extensions-gpaste: Installato: 2.8.1-1~webupd8~precise Candidato: 2.8.1-1~webupd8~precise

'Track clipboard changes' is so close to the switch with an empty menu.

Hello again,

I thought I'd report the second problem separately. This one is fairly easy to fix.
I think the element 'Track clipboard changes' should have some space(and a shorter sentence?) from the switch, like the default menus.

Sorry to bug you again. :)

Compile Error on Debian Testing, Gnome 3.8

I'd love to install Gpaste 3.2.2 on my Debian box. autogen.sh and configure work just fine, however, when trying to compile I get the following error:

libgpaste/core/.libs/libgpaste-core.so: undefined reference to `g_paste_clipboards_manager_get_instance_private'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

In issue #59 I found the same error on a Gentoo system. Any idea how to go on?

Cannot compile gpaste on Ubuntu precise

Hello,

I tried to compile the last svn version of Gpaste today but I can't because Ubuntu precise have not the right atoconf and automake versions:

Autoconf 2.68
Automake 1.11.3

I don't know if there is a solution for my problem...thanks for your help.

Gnome Shell Extension for GPaste doesn't disable gpasted when disabled

Just figured out why Inkscape was having huge issues copy-pasting on my system. Turns out that when I activated the shell extension for gpaste, it started up gpasted and added it to my Startup Programs list, which makes sense, but when I disabled the extension, it left gpasted there. Some applications and gpasted don't play nice, and I didn't realize that it was still running, since I had disabled the extension after only activating it briefly to play around with it.

If you didn't write the extension, could you please let me know who did so I can contact them? If it's possible it seems like when the extension is disabled that it should clean up after itself and remove the daemon from always running.

Thanks,
Matt

Application blacklist needed

GPaste records passwords copied to the clipboard by password safe applications, like Keepassx. GPaste needs a blacklist for application to ignore so that content copied is not recorded.

Memory leak in g_paste_clipboard_set_text

Lines 10 and 18. Will provide fix later on.

GPaste doesn't support file copy with all file managers

<Ctrl><Alt>H doesn't work with Ubuntu 12.04

Hi, I just installed GPaste and the Gnome Shell extension on a fresh new installation of Ubuntu 12.04.
The shortuct to display the history doesn't work (even changing the combination).
I'm running the 2.8.1 version from webupd8 repository and if you take a look at the comments here (http://www.webupd8.org/2011/12/gpaste-gets-image-and-file-copy-support.html) , you can see that I'm not the only one with this problem.

Gpaste Daemon settings won't stick.

As soon as I close gpaste-daemon settings it gets reverted to default settings. So, no changes to gpaste daemon would stick.

I am running gpaste on Arch/Gnome from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gpaste/

Thanks.

Ctrl-Alt-H does not work in Fedora 16

Hello,

as I never used this combination, today I noticed it does not work for me. I would like to investigate, but I don't know where to start.

I checked Gnome Shell keyboard binding, nothing bound there. Tried to change the setting, does not work.

Suppress partial selections

I have the primary selection enabled for gpaste. Is there a way to suppress partial contents being put in the history?

What I mean is that when I click on some text and then enlarge the selection by moving with the mouse/touchpad, I'm only interested in the complete marked text after releasing the button, not in the intermediate steps I needed to come there.

Currently, in such scenarios, my history looks like:

• foo bar baz
• foo bar b
• foo b
• fo

Gpaste and small screens

GPaste isn't optimized for netbooks: the history list can become larger than the screen. Here's a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/lU57m.png

option to detect growing history lines...

Hi,

Before using GPaste, I was using glipper which has a "grow" plugin which detect if the new copy is an extension of another one. It would be interesting to have such a feature because, in my history I have always a lot of lines like this:

this is a test of the gpaste growing feature
this is a test of the gpaste growing featur
this is a test of the gpaste growing featu
this is a test of the gpaste growing feat
this is a test of the gpaste growing fea
this is a test of the gpaste growing fe
this is a test of the gpaste growing f
this is a test of the gpaste growing 
this is a test of the gpaste growing
this is a test of the gpaste growin
...

and of course, my usefull history is then lost....

Best,
Jerome

RFE: fifo/lifo modes

just a couple of related suggestions in case they're fairly simple to do...

1. could we add a mode where pasted items are removed from the history as they're pasted.

so i can go:
copy this, copy that, paste that, paste this
rather than:
copy this, copy that, paste that, select this, paste this

obviously, this is more helpful when you're copying lots of items.

1. could we add a mode where copied (or removed or selected) items are added/moved to the other end of the history - so that they're the last item pasted back out again.

so then i can go:
copy this, copy that, paste this, paste that
(as long as the history was empty to start with)

1. because of that caveat to 2, it'd be nice to be able to maintain multiple histories.

so then i can go:
new history, copy this, copy that, paste this, paste that
(no caveat!)
it might be nice to copy the gnome shell 'workspace on demand' system so that empty histories are automatically deleted.

what do you think?

very many thanks for GPaste - it's lush :-)

Hi!
The indicator on the top-right is still displaying when the screen is locked, and all the information stored there is available without entering the password.

Thanks!

GPaste causes wakeups even when idle

When looking at the output of powertop, gpasted causes about 30 wakeups/second, even when no user input is happening.

This seems excessive to me. What is it polling all the time? Shouldn't it just wake up on clipboard/selection changes, and when the user interacts with it?

gpaste 2.2 fails to build

The option --no-translations is available for intltool >= 0.50.0. However, earlier versions of intltool do not support this option. So, this error occurs when the users try to build gpaste 2.2:

If the primary selection affects the history, then the clipboard is always synchronized with the selection, even if told not to.

"Paste and delete" not working

In gpaste 3.5, when issuing a "paste and delete" action using CTRL-ALT-V (other bindings were also tried), no element is actually pasted.

gpaste seems to receive the event, though, because the clipboard stack is affected by the action.

seb [ ~ ]$ echo 1|gpaste
seb [ ~ ]$ echo 2|gpaste
seb [ ~ ]$ echo 3|gpaste
seb [ ~ ]$ gpaste history
0: 3
1: 2
2: 1
[CTRL-ALT-V into some text entry box]
seb [ ~ ]$ gpaste history
0: 2
1: 3
2: 1
[Further CTRL-ALT-V will cycle the elements at 0 and 1]

At no point does any actual pasting occur, though.

(This is on mutter 3.10.0.1, in case it's relevant.)

"Paste and delete" quirky

Hi Keruspe. Thanks for your response on the previous issue regarding paste and pop. I just upgraded to 3.6, and I now observe the following behavior when "pasting and popping":

Issuing a "paste and pop" into a text field does not actually paste anything. However, the next regular CTRL-V paste will do a paste and pop. (If this is the way paste and pop is supposed to work, I suggest changing the name of the binding to "toggle next pop" or something like that.)

When there is only a single item remaining on the stack, it will not be popped when following the above procedure.

New extension

Hello, I wrote an extension for gnome-shell (3.8, 3.10) and I thought you could write about it in the readme as an alternative to the standard extension.

https://github.com/awamper/gpaste-integration
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/752/gpaste-integration/ - on review

Gpaste icon disappears after reboot or resume from sleep

Ubuntu 12.10, Gnome 3.6. Icon on top bar disappears after every reboot or resume. Program still working - list can be accessed with Ctrl Alt H. Icon only reappears after disabling and re-enabling extension.

GPaste menu is poorly structured.

Hi,
I'm the developper of the 'eOS' GNOME Shell theme ( http://fav.me/d4c9ung ), I use first-child and last-child in the menus to make the first element and last element have a same roundness as the menus(screenshots below).
Everything was looking perfect on the default menus. However, a flaw appeared with your extension when the theme is applied, here are the relevent pictures:

GS: http://db.tt/Z6DaaVX6

GPaste: http://db.tt/qb8ZHz58

Look at how the item in the middle is taking the style of a last-child and compare it to the first picture when it does behave as expected.

GPaste 3.7 shows underscores in gpaste-settings

I guess they were used to show up by pressing the ALT key. In version 3.6 there where no underscores. Now gpaste-settings shows e.g. "_Track clipboard changes" instead of "Track clipboard changes"

Screenshots & search feature

In an article about the latest update to GPaste (http://la-vache-libre.org/gpaste-3-3-3-8-disponible-sur-ubuntu-13-10-14-04/) I saw a screenshot of the extension displaying a search functionality and different UI with items separated in boxes. This surprised me as even with the latest version installed (v3.8 in GS 3.10 in Archlinux) and daemon reexecuted I couldn't see those features.

Then looking through Github issues I saw #67 concerning an alternative GS extension that does seem to sport those features, according to the project page's screenshot (cf. https://github.com/awamper/gpaste-integration/raw/master/screenshots/1.jpg).

I just wanted to confirm that those features aren't present in the default extension and indeed come from the alternative one, the use of which the author of previously mentionned article failed to cite. Otherwise I'd be looking to activate the search functionality as this is something I've been looking for in the default extension.

Could you also provide screenshots (for both versions of your extensions if necessary) on the project frontpage, or links to them on anther website such as http://www.imagination-land.org, so that users know what the program is supposed to look like in advance?

Thanks for this great piece of software and good continuation!
