Hello, :) I'd like to propose that you make an option in the properties for the clipman to show history entries in reverse order (most recent at the bottom). If one has history size set to 33 (or god forbid 100 (I have it at 100)), and given one has panel with clipman at the bottom of the screen, then one has to click on the bottom clipman icon and then move the mouse all the way to the top of the screen to get to the recent entries. Such "reverse presentation order" would totally remedy this, and make me very happy (-ier). :) Much thanks! Regards,
I'm ok with adding a hidden option that would be settable through xfconf-query.
Hey, I apologize for not replying sooner. I had some exams to devote to, and then I also forgot about it a little. :P Yes, I'm perfectly satisfied with a hidden xfconf-query option (now that I know what that is/does). Thanks again! :)
I committed a patch to svn revision 7679. To change the property with Xfconf run the command: xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /plugins/clipman/tweaks/reverse-menu-order -s true I didn't try it yet.
Yes, ummm... (devnewb here) What do I do after `make install`? :)
You can test it without installing by running the standalone application. Just type ./panel-plugin/xfce4-clipman. Otherwise, once installed, there is a entry in the Xfce menu under Utility for the standalone app. And for the panel plugin, right click the panel and choose Add new item.
Yes, of course, the plugin works flawless. But how do I go about changing the new preference (to test it)? Being "/local", the xfconf-query doesn't find the new property or the xfce4-panel channel. Is there a cleartext version of these properties somewhere? :)

The property is bind to Xfconf, but doesn't exist if it was never changed, and in that case it must be created the first time you try to set the property in xfconf. The command is quite the same except you need to specify the type, like that: xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /plugins/clipman/tweaks/reverse-menu-order -s true -t bool --create > Is there a cleartext version of these properties somewhere? :) Checkout the Clipman documentation. You can also give a try to xfce4-settings-editor. xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -lv will list all existing (created) properties.
Hey! Sorry, it was my dumb and limited understanding... the plugin seems to be working perfectly with the new property! I also notice some (sought after) improvements over the stable version, and can hardly wait for the new package to hit me (as I don't really "speak" local). :P Thank you for your time and help! Best of luck,
Ok :) Thanks for the heads up. Wait a delay of 2 weeks~ for a new release.
I just upgraded to Karmic Koala and while clipman is all new and better, this reverse-menu-order setting doesn't seem to work. I have it set correctly, but the latest entry keeps on jumping to the top (instead of bottom). Since all the original code (r7679) is still in cvs, possibly the regression happened with the next "fixing" commit (r7680)? http://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-clipman-plugin/diff/panel-plugin/menu.c?id=3bf189d9c564ca17add62be65bf2610222b701e6 http://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-clipman-plugin/tree/panel-plugin/plugin.c#n98 :clueless:
Please discard previous post. I am stupid. Everything works in clipman version 1.1.0. Too bad they didn't include it in the release yet. Sorry, again. :)
It seems that the documentation wasn't updated to include the new reverse-order xfconf key, that would be nice :)
