Button/shortcut to conveniently export output #12

Closed KennethNielsen closed 8 years ago

KennethNielsen commented 9 years ago

After proofreading, it would be convenient to press a button which copies the entire commented podiff to the clipboard. Alternatively there could be a command to launch the standard e-mail programme.

Imported from Launchpad using lp2gh.

(by k-nielsen81) Hallo Ask

This sounds like a really nice feature for PoProofRead.

Interacting with the clipboard is surprisingly easy, so that is definitely doable and I'll target that for 0.1.8.

For the "launch standard email program (I guess composing an email with the output in the body" function I'll need to do a little more research. If it turn out to be very complicated I may push that part for later, the thing also is that we usually want to make such emails answers to previous emails to keep the proofreadings threaded, so that may not be as practical as one might think.

Regards Kenneth

(by k-nielsen81) Revision 93 adds the copy to clipboard function.

Ask, you write "alternatively" about the "launch e-mail program" suggestions. Would you still like that along with this functionality or is this enough to cover your need? If you also need the other one, I'll open a separate bugreport for it and implement later.

(by askhl) Clipboard is fine. What matters is having a way to extract the full info without having to worry about the fact that there exists a file called something.podiff.ppr.out. I think this is quite perfect

(by k-nielsen81) Great. Thanks for the report.

PS: I have added a wishlist bug for the symmetrical "import from clipboard" function. Together I believe they will be quite practical when working with content in email programs. However, I need to implement a "save as" function before the other one can materialize.

(by k-nielsen81) Oh yeah, for reference it is bug 986866

Already implemented. Closing.
