A Badly-Demonstrative Screencast

SUMMARY

When I've no actions configured, I see the "Actions" button for each clipboard entrant, and it is always clickable. However, on some entries, nothing occurs when it is clicked, which provides the impression that it is dysfunctional.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Invoke Klipper.

2. Duplicate non-URI content into Klipper.

3. Hover over the new entrant.

4. Invoke the "Actions" button.

OBSERVED RESULT

I see the "Actions" button for each clipboard entrant, and it is clickable. However, nothing occurs when it is clicked.

EXPECTED RESULT

XOR, Klipper should:

1. (Visually) disable the button.

2. Hide the button, where it's inapplicable.

3. Take the user to the relevant configuration page.

URI vs non-URI isn't relevant here. What matters is that you don't have any actions set up, so the button is always useless.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2025-10-23 21:03:31 UTC
Oh, I'm wrong. It looks like there's some kind of built in internal action that's always available for URIs.
