moving to 3.4 Is the request still relevant? If yes, then why no reply on needinfo for about 2 months. If not, then the reporter should close the bug (In reply to Marc-Andre Lureau from comment #1) > Is this going to be configured via a controller and/or mime, or config file, > or registry, or just an environment variable or argument would be enough? > > The easier for us would be via an env such as SPICE_CLIPBOARD_FILL_BOTH. > Making this visible to the UI doesn't seem like a good idea. The customer would like a UI option if possible, but I agree that it might not be a good idea. RFC patch sent: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2014-February/016196.html Imho, it would be better to find a solution outside of spice-gtk. The customer problem doesn't seem to be specific to spice. Perhaps we should have a small X daemon or configuration to populate all clipboards instead... Closing for now, since this is not a job for Spice client, and should be done by guest. Clipboards can be sync with a small helper such as: http://elmarco.fedorapeople.org/clipsync.py |
