Hi,

if the history size is long, I have to scroll up to find the last entry. This is boring.
I think it will be better to place the default position on the top and not the bottom of history stack.
I use clipman 1.1.3 with xfce 4.6.2 on archlinux.
This is a Asus EEEPC 1005HA.

Regards,
Gilles Quenot.

xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /plugins/clipman/tweaks/reverse-menu-order -s true

If the property doesn't exist yet create it, you should not need to restart the plugin nor the panel.
Comment 2 gilles.quenot 2010-10-05 01:46:02 CEST
Ok, thanks.

The final command is
DISPLAY=:0 xfconf-query --create -c xfce4-panel -v --create -p /plugins/clipman/tweaks/reverse-menu-order -t bool -s true

But it's not resolved while this seems to be the default behaviour, so I re-open the ticket.

Did you try to switch between true and false?

You don't get me, I don't said I still have the problem, because it's fixed for me now, but I mean that probably need a fix for all people installing it at the firts time as an improvement.

Well, sure, I can make it a little better (and I already know what I have to do for it, except lacking time to make progress on the plugin lately).

What you/I need to do in the code is to lookup the position of the panel by using xfce_screen_position_is_bottom/top(). This will help you to know if the latest item has to be displayed from bottom to top or opposite.

Hi,

I will add a new tab in the settings dialog for all the "tweak" options.

Cheers
Mike
Comment 7 Mike Massonnet editbugs 2011-10-19 00:24:11 CEST
I have added an option in the General tab for now, when there will be more "Tweak" settings, it will be moved to a new tab "Tweaks".

PS: code is not yet pushed into remote git
