copied files uri error

[ghost]

copied files uri can not be disabled. even if 'data items' option in history tab is disabled, they appear in the main menu.

If you remove "text/uri-list" in "Data Items" that format won't be stored. But it may be so that there is additionally "text/plain" format in the copied data (which gets usually stored because "Text Item" is enabled).

You can view saved formats of selected item with F4 key (or from menu "Item/Show Content").

Also disabling URI formats won't remove it if it's already stored in history.

Well, yes, it's because of "text/plain" in "Text Item" tab. Klipper also
copies File Copy URI's. The point is to separate file copies from plain
text.

There is no simple solution to ignore clipboard content depending on stored format.

You can create new command -- in preferences, Commands tab, click + button and select New Command -- check "Ignore Item" check box and fill in "Match:" field with "^file://" (that may help if copied text is prefixed with "file://"). Other solution is to match window title using "Window:" field (but right now this work only on Linux and Windows).

You can also fill in the "Copy to tab:" field with "Files" (or anything else). This basically stores the matched clipboard content only in "Files" tab (provided the "Ignore Item" is check). But it's always possible to do Shift+Insert in history to paste any clipboard content (even the ignored).

I should really add more examples in wiki or README file :). Or if you come up with really useful general command I can add it to example commands in preferences.

I've changed the behavior so that selecting "Format" in Commands (Preferences) will match items with given format. You can then check the "Ignore Item" so it won't be saved.

In this particular case (filtering out URI items), you can use an example command. Just click + button and select "Ignore copied files". That should do it.

This will be part of version 1.7.5.

If this is still an issue please reopen.

Could this be solved (once hluk's idea in #74 is implemented) by setting a CopyQ command that then runs a bash command to remove the mime type you want to remove?

[hluk]

For this to work I'll need to implement command to remove data of given MIME type from item and add new options to "Commands" configuration tab. This could be easy to implement after #59 is done -- especially passing the new item to script -- but that's actually pretty difficult.

[scottkosty]

I did not see #59. That does look like a lot of work but hopefully when it's done several issues such as this one will become solved.
