Glipper

[alpha645]

In Fedora Core 6, there is a program called glipper. It's a clipboard manager and allows you to copy and paste without having to keep the source program open. For example: I copy something in Firefox and paste it in OOo. Closing Firefox will delete the data I copied. With glipper, the data remains in some sort of memory, just like Windowz. Is there a way to run glipper during boot?

Yes put glipper in you session manager, and it will start at login

I found it, thanks.

Wasn't this supposed to be (saving clipboard) part of Gnome so we wouldn't have to use external programs? I read about this once in a Gnome blog long time ago. I thought it'd be in Gnome by 2.16.

Guess not. Glipper works just fine for me

No it's still not working that way. It's only save clipboard data from built in apps.
If using firefox, thunderbird, azureus, etc,etc, it don't save it to the clipboard when you close the application.

Well some people say it's a security feature, I disagree

Well, clipboards can be unsafe. But I don't really get it from the builtin apps

Now I'm on Dapper but it's gnome.
And if I open gedit and type some text and copy the text, then I close the gedit without saving, then I can open gedit again and paste the copied text.

This can't be done from Firefox etc,etc
