[Bug] clipboard cleared when satty closed

[Ciflire]

Hi i'm having an issue where when i try to copy the image then close satty it clears my clipboard I can see it's been copied both with notification and cliphist

~ 
    nix-shell -p nix-info --run "nix-info -m"

satty 0.13.0

it looks like it's related to this, seems like you did implement it but it doesn't work for me https://github.com/gabm/Satty/issues/26

If i can provide any information please tell.

if u can see it copied in cliphist, then everything that has to work on satty's did work (?)

what copy command are you using?

[Ciflire]

i'm using these commands

bind=$mod , print, exec, grimblast save area - | satty -f -
bind=$mod SHIFT, print, exec, grimblast save active screen - | satty -f -

[Ciflire]

also i can paste as long as satty is opened, something is happening when it closes, i don't know what tbh Also if it's not satty i don't know what it can be

[gabm]

then your clipboard Daemon doesn't properly read and store the clipboard?

[Ciflire]

i don't know how to check that tbh

[gabm]

Wayland does not "persist" the content of the clipboard in a way we might expect. instead, the content of it the clipboard is held by the application that "copied" it. Unfortunately - and by design of Wayland - that means that if the application offering the content shuts down, the content is "lost" and cannot be pasted anywhere.

To work around that behaviour, you can use tools like clipmon, clipman, cliphist and alike. Those tools copy the content once announced by the offering application and keep it around - sometimes forever in hard disk for you to choose from.

If you use such tool (cliphist in your case) and there you get a notification that satty has created content - i would expect that content to be available through cliphist.

Is is available, just inconvenient but I'll live. Thx for clarifying

[gabm]

alternatively you can use wl-copy as --copy-command wl-copy. It stays alive until some other process offers new content.

Note that cliphist might interfere here as after reading the content it will most likely offer it again to other applications

I don't think that anything can be done on satty's side.. if you think otherwise, pls re-open.
