Which clipboard manager would you suggest for Jammy64?

Post by user1234 »

This is following https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/w ... 1962835123.

Jammy64 currently lacks any clipboard manager. The default it uses (I suppose rox) does not retain copied text after the application from which it was copied is closed.

So, I was looking for clipboard managers that are small and yet functional.

I came across diodon (https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/diodon). This one supports viewing clipboard history, retains text, and also supports images.

@peebee, suggested ClipIt from Fossa64: https://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/p ... x86_64.pet. The issue with this one is that it does not support images.

None of the two supports encrypting passwords, although I think we have FPM2 for that.


Please suggest any other clipboard managers that should be considered for adding in Jammy64.

We can discuss and select the one that is the most appropriate.


Thanks :thumbup:

What abilities do you want it to have?

Keep in mind the more you want it to be able to do the bigger and more complicated the program will be.

This is the one in BookwormPup64
parcellite
https://sourceforge.net/projects/parcellite/

It does have some preference settings for how it works.

but it is probably too simple for what you may want.
Does work very good for what it can do.

@bigpup, thanks for your input!

Sorry, but I have the same problems with it - does not support image copying.

Thanks again!


Do you know about any other clipboard manager used in some other Puppy?

Maybe CopyQ

I have no experience with it. Just something I found by searching.

Thanks for response!

I am afraid, that one has QT as one of its dependencies - Jammy64 doesn't has QT by default. Thus, this package will be quite large.
