Show in menu bar what's currently stored in clipboard? #152

Hi @p0deje ,

What do you think of a feature to show the currently stored item next to the icon in the menu bar?

Would be handy see at one glance what's currently stored in clipboard!

p0deje commented 4 years ago

That might be useful, but few questions:

  1. How should it show long text?
  2. How images should be shown? Smaller versions?
  3. How files should be shown?
orschiro commented 4 years ago
  1. Maybe limit to X characters, e.g. 20 2./3. I would start with text for now and if others deem useful, this can be expanded to images and files in the future.

What do you think?

Oooh, this is an interesting option. I think ~20 characters would be enough for text. For an image it could just say [image] and for a file it could say [filename.ext] or [truncatedfilen....ext] where the filename shows the first 15 or so characters and then the extension.

Great start indeed!

Was looking into working on this issue. Would this be an optional feature, or the default?

The reason I ask this--I do not believe there is a way to display both the Maccy logo and the current contents of the clipboard in the menu bar with the current Apple APIs.

I think this should be an optional feature! Others may prefer to only have the Maccy logo.

Cool, actually think I found a way to include the logo with the text, I'll look into it

I actually made it work already but haven't finished the configuration setting with all the localizations. I'll be happy to merge PR given it's fully complete.

orschiro commented 4 years ago

Wow, nice! :)
