@jpsala jpsala released this 29 Jun 18:16

Highlights

  • Added scoped clipboard search for visible metadata and capture context:
    • meta: / metadata: searches title, notes, and tags.
    • title: searches editable item titles.
    • notes: / note: searches item notes.
    • ctx: / context: searches hidden capture context.
    • window: remains the captured source window-title filter.
  • Added configurable picker search trigger modes: realtime, Enter, or Search button; Ctrl+Enter runs the current query immediately.
  • Added in-app Search Help from the picker.
  • Promoted metadata editing to a native picker shortcut with Ctrl+Shift+C.
  • Added batch metadata append, replace, and smart-merge flows for selected items.
  • Added a picker quit control and release-safe quit command.
  • Hardened scoped search behavior used by “mark all results” so metadata/context filters do not accidentally apply to all items.
  • Refreshed README/release docs for a public feedback pass.
  • Kept AI optional and disabled by default; AI search planning can translate intent into local filters without sending clipboard payloads.

What to test

Please use synthetic or non-sensitive clipboard content only when reporting issues.

  • Picker search with meta:, title:, notes:, ctx:, window:, and negated forms like -meta:draft.
  • Realtime vs Enter vs Search-button trigger modes in Settings > Picker.
  • Ctrl+Shift+C metadata editing for one item and multiple selected items.
  • Paste-to-previous-window behavior in Notepad, browsers, VS Code/editors, terminals, chat apps, and admin/elevated windows.
  • Local script/action workflows that would save real time.
  • Whether the README/demo make the product understandable in under 30 seconds.
  • SmartScreen/Defender/install friction for the Windows installer.

Known limitations

  • Windows is the primary tested platform.
  • The installer may still trigger SmartScreen/Defender warnings for a young/unsigned app.
  • Paste-to-previous-window depends on Windows foreground/focus behavior, target apps, timing, and paste shortcuts.
  • Scripts are trusted local automation, not a secure sandbox or marketplace.
  • Search syntax and metadata behavior may still evolve.
  • title: means editable item title; source window title search uses window:.
  • AI is optional and disabled by default. Selected-content AI actions may send selected content to the configured provider.
  • Rich clipboard formats are still evolving. Text and image-only capture exist; full HTML/RTF/custom-format fidelity is not a compatibility promise.
  • Copicu is CopyQ-inspired, not CopyQ-compatible.
