[Spectacle] [Bug 419148] Screenshots saved to the clipboard are cleared after 5 seconds/when the notification disappears
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=419148 Noah Davis changed: What|Removed |Added Status|CONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |INTENTIONAL CC||noaha...@gmail.com --- Comment #11 from Noah Davis --- I was able to reproduce this with version 23.04, but I don't think it's work spending much effort on fixing. If there is no clipboard managing service, anything you copy from an app just isn't preserved when the app is closed, even text. I strongly recommend keeping the clipboard service enabled or not using the `-b` option if you have it disabled. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

It is a quite tricky issue to solve. We could make it so that the application stays open until an application has received the data, that isn't klipper. Or the notification should copy the data itself to make it available, and remove it afterwards. Or the notification could fetch the data from klipper somehow, if klipper cached the value. Please not, under wayland the -b command line is not supported, code needs some adaptation, you will have strange behavior for now. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

As a developer I understand that, but as a end user the mental model I think of with copy and paste is "lifting" content out of one application and putting it in another. > It is a quite tricky issue to solve. It might be hard to solve well... but couldn't spectacle be modified to keep the process alive for .. 30 seconds? - or until the content is pasted/clipboard changed or something like that? That wouldn't solve the underlying issue, but I think it would hide it from 90% of the users. My gut feeling is that 5 seconds is something quite a lot of users would run into, if you are switching back and forth between windows etc. 30 seconds../1 minute? Probably fairly rarely. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=419148 Anders Aagaard changed: What|Removed |Added CC||aagaa...@gmail.com --- Comment #8 from Anders Aagaard --- I'm seeing some... curious behavior on this as well. with clipboard enabled and hidden, spectacle -r -b -c used to capture screenshots. 1. After taking the screenshot, while spectacle notification running. I can paste the screenshot into any application. 2. When the notification disappears I can no longer paste it. However.. it still exists in the clipboard list. 3. If I click on the entry in the clipboard list, I can paste it into any application again. This is definitely not working the way my brain expects it to work 😂 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=419148 odzi...@gmail.com changed: What|Removed |Added CC||odzi...@gmail.com --- Comment #5 from odzi...@gmail.com --- I am experiencing a similar issue using the spectacle shortcuts (capture active window, capture rectangular region, etc.). I ran a timer to ensure that the clipboard was not being cleared before the notification disappears and can confirm that it is as soon as the notification clears. If I take a screenshot with the spectacle gui open, which does not create a notification upon taking the screenshot, the screenshot will stay in the clipboard until it is replaced by something else.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=419148 --- Comment #6 from odzi...@gmail.com --- I actually just came across something interesting after trying to replicate Nate's example. If the Clipboard System Service is set to Disabled in the System Tray Settings, this issue occurs for both spectacle -rbc and using the spectacle screenshots. If the Clipboard System Service is enabled (always hidden, always shown, show when relevant) then the issue does not occur and the screenshot will stay in the clipboard after the notification clears. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=419148 Michal Kec (MiK) changed: What|Removed |Added CC||k...@kecnet.cz --- Comment #7 from Michal Kec (MiK) --- I can confirm reported behavior with KDE Neon 5.20, thus I can provide further details. I believe you only need to meet two conditions to reproduce the bug: 1. In systray settings set the item Clipboard (Klipper) as "disabled". (See reporters note in comment #4) 2. Terminate the spectacle process after taking the screenshot. It can be either spontaneous (by running on background with -b parameter), or intentional by closing the app window. Typically in Linux/X Window system the content of the clipboard exist as long as the parent process (Spectacle in this case) lives. By running Spectacle on background you have only few seconds - then the process vanishes and the clipboard content as well. The Clipboard systray widget somehow steals (copies and caches) the Spectacle's clipboard content and preserve it within. However if you don't want to have clipboard history and disable this widget, well... you have no clipboard history. Hopefully there's a workaround for users scared by clipboard history. 1. Set the Clipboard systray widget as "hidden". (Disappears from systray and move to "Hidden icons" menu.) 2. Configure Klipper and set "Save clipboard contents on exit" as false and "Clipboard history size" as "1". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
