add xclip to placeholders #36

Closed supermerill closed 1 year ago

supermerill commented 1 year ago

Hi I didn't know how to create a command line that have the content of the clipboard inside an argument, so I added the xclip command to available placeholders.

Oh, I like THAT idea!!!

I'll test it!

Hey - Python and GTK actually have built-in clipboard access/management. https://python-gtk-3-tutorial.readthedocs.io/en/latest/clipboard.html

Maybe have a look at that rather than use xclip (e.g. line 40 of the example on that page)?

I used xclip because it's a Suggested Additional Packages and it doesn't involve any python dependencies. I'm not sure what's available in a nautilus plugin natively.

Yeah understood - I'm gonna mess a bit with the implementation to see if I can get the integrated clipboard stuff to do the same thing - that might make the implementation a bit cleaner and more performant but I'll keep the same semantics you have.

I've changed the target branch to one I've just created ... feature/clipboard-place-holder.
