Don't save history via schemas #21

Closed fossfreedom closed 3 years ago

fossfreedom commented 3 years ago

I note the intention is to save clips to the gsettings schema. Can I kindly suggest that this practically will not work.

For instance - you could copy megabytes of text from - say - a libreoffice document. This wouldn't go into the gsettings schema - there is a limit - I forget how big - but its certainly not megabytes.

Also - if the future intention is to support images then images won't go into the schema - a file/database format will be better from a future expandability point-of-view

Suggestion is that manage the clips via a .config/budgie-clipboard-applet local folder - either via file based or some-sort of mini SQL type lightweight database.

@fossfreedom Ok hmm, Let's see then, how do you store quicknote applet's data by the way?
