option to detect growing history lines...

[jrevillard]

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....

Guess it could be an interresting feature, yup. Have already quite a lot of things planned for next release, but after that, sure why not. Can't give you an ETA, but maybe in 1 month I guess

Hi,

Any news about it ?

Hi,

Sorry, I was quite busy in the pasts months, with work & travels. I plan to do a small release this week end (mostly tiny bugfixes), and this will be in the next one which will follow as soon as I can

Just a little clarification:

• I select foo
• I select foobar
• foobar replaces foo
• I select refoobar
• Does refoobar replace foobar or not ? I'd say not

Hi,

I don't remember what was the behaviour but I would say no too.

Thanks. Jerome

Actually, I just pushed it so it will be in this week end release.

[jrevillard]

Thanks a lot :+1:

Would it be possible to backport it in a version compatible with gnome 3.8 ?

I'm planning to make a last maintainance release, will backport it.
