ClipnPaste 0.2.8

ClipnPaste 0.2.8

Added

• Emoji style in Settings: Google (Noto, default), Fluent (Microsoft), or System font
• Full offline emoji set (~3.5k) with all categories

ClipnPaste 0.2.7

ClipnPaste 0.2.7

Added

• Snip & Sketch editor — click the post-capture toast to edit
• Tools: pen, highlighter, blur, crop, multi-color palette, undo
• Auto-save to $XDG_PICTURES_DIR/Screenshots (usually ~/Pictures/Screenshots)
• Save updates clipboard, history, and overwrites the screenshot file when known

Fixed

• Rectangle snip on HiDPI / fractional scaling (correct crop vs xcap logical/physical pixels)
• Selection box / dim overlay no longer baked into region captures
• Toast Click to edit actually opens the editor
• Rectangle mode no longer stuck after using window snip

Install with apt (recommended)

sudo apt install clipn-paste
clipnpaste &

Install from this release (.deb)

sudo apt install ./ClipnPaste_0.2.7_amd64.deb
clipnpaste &

Uninstall

ClipnPaste 0.2.6

ClipnPaste 0.2.6

Fixed

• Mint / GNOME application menu icon — package now installs full Freedesktop hicolor sizes (16–512px) and a proper desktop entry so the menu shows the ClipnPaste logo instead of a generic icon

Install

sudo apt install ./ClipnPaste_0.2.6_amd64.deb
# refresh icon cache if the menu still looks wrong:
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor

ClipnPaste 0.2.5

ClipnPaste 0.2.5

Bugfix and reliability release for clipboard history.

Fixed

• Clear all keeps the list empty (no flash of the live clipboard back into history)
• New copies after clear still appear without restarting the app
• Ctrl+C / Ctrl+X text is not ignored when X11 still has a stale image target (separate text/image hash gates)
• Real text wins over incidental URL/path text when both change; images preferred only for incidental text
• History text wraps instead of clipping under edit/delete/pin buttons

Tests

• Expanded unit tests for clear-all, copy-after-clear, pin, edit, promote-on-select, emoji, and text-vs-image policy (npm test / cargo test --lib)

Install

sudo apt install ./ClipnPaste_0.2.5_amd64.deb

ClipnPaste 0.2.4

ClipnPaste 0.2.4

Windows 11-style clipboard history and snipping for Linux Mint / Cinnamon.

Highlights (0.2.2 – 0.2.4)

• Live history — new copies appear in Super+V while the panel is open
• Image-first capture — screenshots/images are kept even when text is also on the clipboard
• Promote-on-select — pasting from history sets the system clipboard so Ctrl+V pastes the same item again
• Edit text items — pencil (✎) next to delete/pin
• Unit tests for history DB and helpers
• Settings CLI: clipnpaste-cli settings

Install

sudo apt install ./ClipnPaste_0.2.4_amd64.deb
clipnpaste &
