[Linux] Cannot copy & paste files #117

Closed yochananmarqos closed 2 years ago

yochananmarqos commented 3 years ago

If I copy a file in Nautilus, Clipto copies the path to the clipboard. A few seconds later, I'm not able to paste and the Paste context menu item is greyed out. If I copy the same file again, I can paste it. If I exit Clipto, everything works as expected.

Desktop: Manjaro GNOME clipto-bin 5.1.2-1 (AUR)

Mobile: T-Mobile OnePlus 7 Pro Oxygen OS 11.0.1.3 Android 11 Clipto 7.1.1-release

Nautilus is an app? could you send a link on it?

yochananmarqos commented 3 years ago

Nautilus is the default file manager on GNOME, aka Files.

Got it:) Was confused by the additional info with Android version. Nevermind..

I can't reproduce it now. It's happened in the past, but then I would forget about it since it would stop happening again after an update & reboot. I finally opened an issue because the issue stuck around longer than usual this time. :man_shrugging:

yochananmarqos commented 3 years ago

Scratch that. I can reproduce it again. I have no idea why it's intermittent like that.

yochananmarqos commented 2 years ago

The issue has popped up again. Could you please install Manjaro GNOME in a VM and test this?

EDIT: Redacted unneeded sentence.

The issue has popped up again. Could you please install Manjaro GNOME in a VM and test this? I'll be cancelling my subscription, looking for another program and abandoning the AUR package (I'm the maintainer) if this continues.

The version of the app?

yochananmarqos commented 2 years ago

I'm using 7.2.17 (desktop) and 7.2.22 (Android).

Maybe an option to ignore files could be added? I think what's happening may be the file is being copied to the clipboard, but then ClipTo converts that into the path being copied to the clipboard. Therefore, I can no longer paste the copied file.

Actually, the app should skip any binary data in the clipboard. By the current logic, the app only listens for text changes in the clipboard. And the listening for changes is implemented as 'clipboard long-polling'. So it should not block or break any other app. That is why I need to check it more deeply on the specific platforms:)

It turns out ClipTo is not to blame. I had not realized I still had clipboard monitoring enabled with Join this whole time and it was conflicting..
