Max History Size

[lots0logs]

What is the purpose of limiting the max size a user can set? IMO, 200 is way too low. Why not let the user set whatever value is best for their workflow?

Did you try with 200 items? Huge items inside the list might cause extension become unstable because of the performance. We need to make a benchmark on that.

I actually changed the max value in my local copy so I could set it to 2000. So far so good but I'm guessing at some point it might start hindering performance?

[b00f]

@Tudmotu Do you think maximum history can be unlimited? User might risk on performance.

[lots0logs]

I think it should be up to the user since users will have various amounts of resources. Maybe add a disclaimer above or below the setting that states

Depending on your system's available resources, the value of this setting can cause performance issues if it is too high. In such cases you should try lowering the value until performance is acceptable.

How to change, I need 10k

[Tudmotu]

10k will crash your system, this extension is not built for that.
Better to use an actual app (e.g. GPaste)

Thanks for the recommendation

Hey folks, this is fixed in a re-written version of the extension: https://github.com/SUPERCILEX/gnome-clipboard-history.
