Version: Klipper: v0.9.7 Qt: 3.3.8b (using KDE 3.5.8) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux Important tasks would become possible, if klipper would provide a dcop method or a kill signal to trigger saving of its history. Currently it seems, there is only an interactiv possibility: raise klipper menu, select "Quit" and restart klipper. Example (1) Problems like reported in http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152039 could easily be solved or mitigated: imagine a simple crontab entry. I wonder, wy #152039 did not deserve severity "important". Example (2) To save history AUTOMATICALLY on exit klipper currently depends on KDE sessionmanager. It seems to be impossible if one uses klipper with another windowmanager, e.g. with openbox. If we had a dcop method or a kill signal, we could easily drop a line in a logout script. Filed this issue to Debian bts too: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=483229 Nevertheless: for me klipper is the most beloved KDE application, I am using it everyday for many years, cannot imagine to live without it, set history size to 2048 and access EVERY text copied several weeks ago within few seconds by a 3 to 6 character regular expression eases work enormously :-))
(no need to scream, please)
