Image caching not working #3

Open xsidexpt opened 4 days ago

xsidexpt commented 4 days ago

Not sure why, but I can't get image caching to work at all. If I copy an image on the browser, that entry does not show up at all on the clipboard. And if I copy a local image it will just show on the clipboard as the path of the image with no preview. Already tried playing around with the “cache images” toggle and the "keep image" toggle to no avail. I also note that no images are getting copied to the cached images directory.

I have tried playing around with the latest version of flow launcher as well as using the portable version in hopes that it could be a permission to write to the cached image folder but nothing made a difference to the behaviour

Sorry I cannot fully understand this. The latest version has made stability improvements that may resolve the issue.

Here are my settings in case it helps. For me it works perfect. As soon as I copy an image, it appears in the cache folder. image image

xsidexpt commented 2 days ago

I could have sworn this behaviour was different in the past and the cache worked every time. For instance, if I clip copy on a local .jpg file this is what shows up image and if I click copy on an image in the browser that not represented at all in the clipboard history.

So weird. It does perfectly either from browser or local to me. :S Maybe reinstall the plugin? No clue tbh. No other clipboard app messing with what you're copying?

xsidexpt commented 2 days ago

I have tried to reinstall and install again, tried an older version of flow launcher and tried a portable installation. Nothing made a difference. Also, I could have sworn that there were thumbnails for the images in the past? All this may have coincided with Windows 11 updating to the 24h2 update. This same exact behaviour happen with other clipboard extensions available in the flow launcher plugin store.

Chaoscontrol commented 2 days ago

I don't recall thumbnails before. They show on the right panel, but not on the list.

xsidexpt commented 2 days ago

Previous to this week I was using ClipboardR but since that also got this weird behaviour I thought I could try the other options to see if they also share the same issues, and sure enough they do!

Chaoscontrol commented 2 days ago

Clipboard+ is a fork from ClipboardR (which is not maintained anymore AFAIK), but has been improved since. I jumped ship precisely because it fixed some annoying issues from the previous one.

xsidexpt commented 2 days ago

That was part of the reason for the switch. Are you by any chance running Windows 11 24H2? It would not surprise me if this was somehow Microsoft's fault 🙃

Chaoscontrol commented 2 days ago

Yep, 24H2. For a few months already. Really no clue what might be messing with yours.

xsidexpt commented 2 days ago

Dammit... well, it was worth the shot. Just to be 100% sure, we are talking about the exact same thing. If you click "copy image" in any browser, that image shows up in your clipboard, right? And if you click copy in any image file on your local drive, that also shows there with a preview? I have some images show up, particularly if I take a screenshot, for example.

Here you go: https://xfiles.s-ul.eu/tcXSHBnl

  1. When copying from browser, it copies fine with thumbnail.
  2. When copying file from desktop, it copies the path.
  3. When copying the same file while open, it copies the image with thumbnail.

Thanks for the effort! It might just be one of those random behaviours that will push me over the edge to get a clean install of windows on my machine. Oh, well… If I randomly stumble across the answer, I will let you know, might be something useful/intersting.
