Failed to load saved history file #48

Closed johntyree closed 4 years ago

johntyree commented 4 years ago

I saved parcellite history to a file, but there appears to be no way to load it up again.

It looks like parcellite uses a binary format to persist history in ~/.local/share/parcellite/history, but the manually saved history file is formatted like:

NHIST_0382 r8712u
NHIST_0383 RTL8188SU
NHIST_0384 127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 DebianHostName

Is there a way to reconcile these?

Not really. This was provided as way to convert the binary. If you want something that feeds back into parcellite, use the one in .local.

johntyree commented 4 years ago

That makes the export basically useless. You should probably not expose it to end users.

I suppose that is your opinion. If you want text, this is your only option. The N is normal and P is persistent. If you know anything about bash, you can do whatever you want with the file.
