When this option is set you should be good to go and Diodon should start adding clipboard items to the history again. For now as a workaround to still allow Diodon to save copy events is to at least allow activity “Documents” to be recorded. This is something we would really like to see in the future and are working on it – you can follow progress in this bug report. Unfortunately is there no entry to simply include Clipboard. In the same Security & Privacy dialog from above there is the possibility to enable recording but only including certain activities. This is possible but at this stage not as apparent as it could be.
CLIPBOARD MANAGER UBUNTU DOWNLOAD
Xtreme Download Manager, also known as XDM or XDMAN, is a popular cross-platform download manager available for Linux, Windows and macOS. You properly ask yourself now how you can simply allow Diodon to save copy events but disable other applications from recording anything? Xtreme Download Manager, unarguably one of the best download managers for Linux, has a new version named XDM 2018 which brings a fresh new look to it. This means you can still access previous copy events recorded before disabling this option but no new items will be added. When you turn this option off no users’ events will be recorded including copy events by Diodon. This option is to be found in your “System Settings” -> “Security & Privacy” -> “Files & Applications” where it says “Record file and application usage”. For this we have to know that Zeitgeist has a privacy feature so it is possible to disable recording of any users’ events. Besides recording Zeitgeist also provides a simple way to search certain activities and managing history which gives Diodon beside an infinitive clipboard history many more opportunities read more about it here.īut let’s get back to our initial question on why Diodon does not save anything to the clipboard history. Zeitgeist is a service which logs the users’ activities and events, anywhere from files opened to websites visited and conversations had.Īs Diodon pretty much records users’ copy events is using Zeitgeist service a really good match. To overcome this limitation have we moved away from this xml file and integrated a library called Zeitgeist. If we wanted to increase this number but still using the single xml file Diodon would consume way too much memory and would have become too slow as well. This was fairly simple but had the limitation that the clipboard history was limited to a certain number of entries. Since version 1.1.0 the way how Diodon stores its clipboard storage has changed – it used to be that the history was simply stored in the storage.xml file located in ~/.local/share/diodon/. This question has been asked a couple of times also on AskUbuntu so I thought it is worth a blog post to elaborate on why in certain circumstances Diodon doesn’t save anything to the clipboard history and what you can do about it.
