Problem with select command

[blakkheimgw]

Hello,

Since recently, I was heavily using the gpaste-client select 1 command to select the second latest item in my history. Since latest upgrade (3.38.4), using this commande simply deletes the latest item...

Thanks.

I am seeing the same kind of problem with 3.38.4. The Gpaste extension only has one item in the history. Downgrading to 3.38.1 fixes this issue.

@jdoss logs would be appreciated, also please open another issue, that's not the same problem at all

@blakkheimgw Since GPaste 3.38, the items are now identified by an UUID instead of an index (to avoid some race conditions amongst other things). There was an issue handling input which was not an UUID though, I juste fixed it.

This is now the output of gpaste-client select 1 in the upcoming 3.38.5

keruspe@Lou ~ % gpaste-client select 1                                                                                           

** (gpaste-client:113366): CRITICAL **: 11:04:09.722: GDBus.Error:org.gnome.GPaste.Error: Provided uuid doesn't match any item.

@Keruspe is there a way to have the same behaviour (ability to select the second latest item ?) in new versions ?

[Keruspe]

Would it be ok if I added some gpaste-client get-uuid <index> which would allow you to gpaste-client select $(gpaste-client get-uuid <index>)?

[Keruspe]

I could probably even hide that beind gpaste-client select --use-index 1 or something like that

[blakkheimgw]

Both solutions would be great, indeed ! Thank you.

Will try and release that as part of 3.38.5, hopefully this week

3.38.5 released with --use-index
