Feature Request: Use Ditto to "paste only" (i.e.: don't add new items from clipboard) #604

I was looking for some specific software, and Ditto was recommended. However it's not quite what I was looking for:

I was looking for a tool that would allow easy selection of pre-recorded texts to be pasted into an application (like web browsers' input). However when I run Ditto, all the copies made populate the stored texts.

I'd like to suggest an option that will prevent Ditto from adding new texts from the clipboard (after having set up the initial set).

I made an experiment: When removing the "" from "inclusive" (to avoid copying anything), the "" just re-appears. However when I enter "DOES_NOT_EXIST", then it seems to ignore every application that isn't named "DOES_NOT_EXIST". So in some way the requested feature already exists ;-)

the feature already exists. You can disconnect Ditto from clipboard and the setting would even survive a reboot.
