export Actions to a file and have someplace we can share them

[rcrath]

Save actions to a file and have a place available where we can share them. I wrote (i.e. copied some code and teaked it) two that I get a lot of use from. One to remove newlines to format a paragraph from something like a copy from PDF, where each line has a CR/LF.

perl  -p -i -e 's/\n/~!@/g'|perl  -p -i -e 's/~!@~!@/\n\n/g'|perl  -p -i -e 's/ ~!@/ /g'|perl  -p -i -e 's/~!@/ /g'

And another to do title case, as in "The Capitalization in a Book Title" which is in a separate perl file that the action links to.

It would be great to have a centralized place to keep them and a way of exporting them.

True. I have a lot of commands defined and losing them would be really bad.

this would be great if it can be readable file like json or xml

Save and load commands functionality is implemented: 87a1a13

Standard ini/conf file format is used. That way it's possible to load commands from other CopyQ configuration.

No additional metadata are saved. It would be nice to add author, date/time and description at least.

The question now is: How and where to share user commands?

Maybe in the Google Group?

If you have some interesting command, you can create PR to copyq-commands repo.
