# Clipper Plugin - Comprehensive Changelog
|
||
|
||
## Version 2.4.4 (2026-04-26)
|
||
|
||
### Critical data-loss fix: notecards never reached disk
|
||
|
||
If you lost a notecard between v2.4.3 and v2.4.4 — I'm sorry. This was my fault. The "atomic write" hotfix shipped in v2.4.3 turned out to be **silently broken** on noctalia-qs and similar Quickshell builds: `Quickshell.execDetached(["sh", "-c", script, ...])` with the multi-arg shell pipeline never actually executed the script. Every `saveNoteCard()` call returned successfully, the note appeared in the panel UI, and a "Note created" toast was shown — but the file never landed in `~/.config/noctalia/plugins/clipper/notecards/`. On the next panel open, `loadNoteCards` saw nothing and the note was gone.
|
||
|
||
The same path was used for `pinned.json` and notecard `.txt` exports, so those could vanish too under the same conditions.
|
||
|
||
#### Root cause
|
||
|
||
- `Quickshell.execDetached` with `["sh", "-c", script, "$0", "$1", "$2", "$3"]` (where `$3` was a long base64 string) silently no-ops in noctalia-qs 0.0.x. The simpler 2–3 argv calls (`mkdir -p`, `find ... -delete`) work; the long-argv save path does not. There is no error, no log, no partial file — the script never starts.
|
||
- `loadNoteCards` used `jq -s '.' *.json 2>/dev/null || echo '[]'`, which is **all-or-nothing**: a single 0-byte or malformed file in the directory made jq exit non-zero, the fallback returned an empty array, and the in-memory `noteCards` was wiped — making every other note invisible in the UI even though it was intact on disk.
|
||
|
||
#### Fix
|
||
|
||
- **New atomic-write engine.** Replaced `Quickshell.execDetached` + base64 with a queued `Process` that pipes the raw payload to `sh -c 'cat > "$1.tmp" && [ -s "$1.tmp" ] && mv -f "$1.tmp" "$1" && { [ -z "$2" ] || [ "$2" = "$1" ] || rm -f "$2"; } || { rm -f "$1.tmp"; exit 1; }'` via stdin. Process gives us a real exit code and stderr, so genuine failures are now logged via `Logger.w` instead of vanishing. The queue serializes saves because Process is single-instance.
|
||
- **Resilient loader.** `loadNoteCards` now validates each `*.json` file individually with `jq -e .` and concatenates only the valid ones into the slurp. A single corrupt or 0-byte file no longer wipes the rest. The `onExited` handler also stops blanking `noteCards` on shell errors or empty results — when the disk read gives nothing useful, in-memory state is preserved instead of cleared.
|
||
- **No more base64.** Payload travels through stdin, so Polish / Cyrillic / emoji titles and content survive verbatim without escaping concerns. The `stringToBase64` helper and the `atomicWriteBase64` shim are gone.
|
||
|
||
Applied to `savePinnedFile`, `saveNoteCard`, `updateNoteCard`, and `exportNoteCard`. Tested by reproducing the disappearing-notecard case (rename + reopen panel) on noctalia-qs 0.0.12 — pre-fix: file vanished; post-fix: file persists across restarts.
|
||
|
||
If you can still reproduce a disappearance, please open an issue with `grep Clipper /run/user/$(id -u)/quickshell/by-id/*/log.log | tail -40`. The `atomicWrite FAIL` lines now carry exit code and stderr.
|
||
|
||
## Version 2.4.3 (2026-04-22)
|
||
|
||
### Data-loss hotfix: atomic writes for pinned items and notecards
|
||
|
||
Fixes a data-loss bug that could silently destroy pinned items (`pinned.json`) or individual notecards (`notecards/*.json`) under rare timing conditions. A 0-byte ghost file left on disk was traced back to three compounding issues in the save path:
|
||
|
||
1. **Non-atomic shell redirection.** All writes used `base64 -d > "$file"`, which opens the target with `O_TRUNC` **before** decoding and writing. If the process was interrupted between truncate and write (shell restart, kill, OOM, base64 failure), the file was left at 0 bytes with no recovery possible.
|
||
2. **Rename race in `updateNoteCard`.** When a note's title changed, the old file was deleted via a parallel `rm` `execDetached` call issued alongside the new `saveNoteCard`. If the `rm` completed but the save failed, the note vanished entirely.
|
||
3. **Empty-base64 edge case.** If `stringToBase64()` returned an empty string (e.g. from a malformed note object), the shell pipeline still truncated the target, producing a guaranteed 0-byte file.
|
||
|
||
**Fix:** new `atomicWriteBase64(filePath, base64, oldFilePath)` helper in `Main.qml`:
|
||
|
||
- Writes to a temp file (`<file>.tmp`) first, verifies it is non-empty (`[ -s "$t" ]`), then atomically renames over the target with `mv -f`.
|
||
- Only removes the old file **after** the new file is safely in place (and only when the old path differs from the new path).
|
||
- Passes `filePath`, `oldFilePath`, and `base64` via argv (not string interpolation) — shell-injection safe and robust against filenames with spaces/quotes.
|
||
- Refuses empty writes up front (`base64.length === 0`) and logs a warning instead of truncating the target.
|
||
- `saveNoteCard` now validates `note.id` and `JSON.stringify` length ≥ 10 before writing.
|
||
|
||
Applied to `savePinnedFile`, `saveNoteCard`, `updateNoteCard`, and `exportNoteCard`.
|
||
|
||
Also: `Component.onCompleted` now sweeps any stale `*.json.tmp` files left over from previous interrupted writes, so a crash mid-hotfix cannot leak temp files indefinitely.
|
||
|
||
## Version 2.4.2 (2026-04-22)
|
||
|
||
### Fix ReferenceError on plugin teardown
|
||
|
||
- Removed a dead `wlCopyProc` reference in `Component.onDestruction` (`Main.qml`) that threw `ReferenceError: wlCopyProc is not defined` when the panel or shell was torn down. The id was left over from an earlier refactor; wl-copy usage already lives in `copyToClipboardProc` and direct `Quickshell.execDetached(["wl-copy", ...])` calls, so no replacement logic is needed.
|
||
|
||
## Version 2.4.1 (2026-04-21)
|
||
|
||
### Fix Qt.btoa deprecation warnings
|
||
|
||
- Replaced three deprecated `Qt.btoa(string)` calls in `Main.qml` (`savePinnedFile`, `exportNoteCard`, `saveNoteCard`) with a new `stringToBase64(str)` helper that encodes the string to UTF-8 bytes as a `Uint8Array` and passes it to the non-deprecated `Qt.btoa(array-like)` overload.
|
||
- Simplified the matching `Qt.atob()` call: the array-like overload returns a `Uint8Array` directly, so the intermediate string + `charCodeAt` loop was removed.
|
||
- Side benefit: `exportNoteCard()` now writes properly encoded UTF-8 `.txt` files — previously, notes containing non-ASCII characters (Polish, emoji, Cyrillic, etc.) were written with Latin-1 byte encoding.
|
||
- No behavior change for existing `pinned.json` / `notecards/*.json` files: `JSON.stringify` already escapes non-ASCII to `\uNNNN`, so the base64 output is effectively identical for ASCII-safe JSON.
|
||
|
||
## Version 2.4.0 (2026-04-20)
|
||
|
||
### Live-Preview Settings, Panel Size Controls, i18n Cleanup
|
||
|
||
**Settings live-preview with revert-on-cancel:**
|
||
- All settings changes apply immediately as a live preview via `_applyPreview()`
|
||
- Snapshot taken on `Component.onCompleted`; reverted on `Component.onDestruction` if user cancels (Apply not clicked)
|
||
- `saveSettings()` sets `_applied = true` to suppress revert
|
||
|
||
**New panel size controls (Appearance tab):**
|
||
- `NSpinBox` for panel width (400–3840 px, step 50) — hidden in fullscreen mode
|
||
- `NSpinBox` for panel height (0–2160 px, step 50, 0 = auto) — hidden in fullscreen mode
|
||
- `Panel.qml` now reads `panelWidth`/`panelHeight` from settings instead of hardcoded 1450
|
||
|
||
**Hide Panel Background gating:**
|
||
- "Hide Panel Background" toggle and its divider are now hidden when NoteCards are enabled
|
||
|
||
**i18n cleanup:**
|
||
- Removed all `|| "fallback"` suffixes from `pluginApi?.tr()` calls across all 11 QML files
|
||
- Added 4 new translation keys (`panel-width`, `panel-width-desc`, `panel-height`, `panel-height-desc`) to all 17 language files
|
||
|
||
**manifest.json:**
|
||
- Version bumped to `2.4.0`
|
||
- Added `defaultSettings`: `fullscreenMode`, `hidePanelBackground`, `autoPaste`, `autoPasteOnRightClick`, `autoPasteDelay`, `panelWidth`, `panelHeight`, `cardColors`, `customColors`

|
||
"clipper": {
|
||
"bar": { "tooltip": "..." },
|
||
"context": { "toggle": "...", "settings": "..." },
|
||
"panel": { 30+ keys for all UI elements },

||
## Architecture Improvements
|
||
|
||
### 1. Removal of ClipboardService.qml
|
||
**Impact:** High - Simplified architecture
|
||
|
||
**Rationale:**
|
||
- Eliminated unnecessary abstraction layer
|
||
- Reduced IPC overhead
|
||
- Direct function calls from Panel.qml to Main.qml
|
||
- Better memory management
|
||
|
||
**Migration:**
|
||
- All ClipboardService functions moved to Main.qml
|
||
- Panel uses `pluginApi?.mainInstance?.functionName()` pattern
|
||
- Removed internal IPC calls (anti-pattern per guidelines)
|
||
|
||
**Functions Integrated:**
|
||
- list(), copyToClipboard(), deleteById(), wipeAll()
|
||
- pinItem(), unpinItem(), copyPinnedToClipboard()
|
||
- decodeToDataUrl(), getItemType()
|
||
- addTodoWithText(), showTodoPageSelector()
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 2. Security Enhancements
|
||
**Impact:** Critical - Prevented command injection vulnerabilities
|
||
|
||
**Fixes:**
|
||
- Input validation with regex `/^\d+$/` for all clipboard IDs
|
||
- Shell command parameters properly escaped
|
||
- Qt.btoa() for safe base64 encoding (no shell metacharacters)
|
||
- Process stdin used instead of shell interpolation
|
||
- File paths are constant, not user-controlled
|
||
|
||
**Vulnerable Patterns Fixed:**
|
||
```qml
|
||
// BEFORE (v1.1.0 - VULNERABLE)
|
||
Quickshell.execDetached(["sh", "-c", "cliphist decode " + id + " | wl-copy"])
|
||
|
||
// AFTER (v1.3.1 - SECURE)
|
||
if (!/^\d+$/.test(String(id))) {
|
||
Logger.e("clipper", "Invalid clipboard ID: " + id);
|
||
return;
|
||
}
|
||
copyToClipboardProc.command = ["cliphist", "decode", String(id)];
|
||
copyToClipboardProc.running = true;
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Protected Functions:**
|
||
- pinItem(), deleteById(), copyToClipboard(), decodeToDataUrl()
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 3. Memory Management
|
||
**Impact:** Medium - Leak prevention
|
||
|
||
**Improvements:**
|
||
- Main.qml: Comprehensive cleanup of 11 Process objects
|
||
- TodoPageSelector.qml: Timer cleanup on destruction
|
||
- LRU cache with automatic eviction (maxImageCacheSize: 50)
|
||
- clearCaches() function for wipe operations
|
||
|
||
**Component.onDestruction Added:**
|
||
```qml
|
||
// Main.qml
|
||
Component.onDestruction: {
|
||
if (listProc.running) listProc.terminate();
|
||
if (decodeProc.running) decodeProc.terminate();
|
||
// ... 9 more processes
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
// TodoPageSelector.qml
|
||
Component.onDestruction: {
|
||
showMenuTimer.stop();
|
||
close();
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 4. IPC Interface Cleanup
|
||
**Impact:** Medium - Cleaner external API
|
||
|
||
**Simplified IPC:**
|
||
- Removed 9 numbered functions: `addToTodo1()` through `addToTodo9()`
|
||
- Removed generic `addToTodo(pageId: int)`
|
||
- Removed `addTextToTodo(text, pageId)` (now internal-only)
|
||
- Renamed `addToTodoWithSelector()` → `addSelectionToTodo()`
|
||
|
||
**Retained Essential IPC:**
|
||
```qml
|
||
function toggle() // Required for keybind compatibility
|
||
function openPanel()
|
||
function closePanel()
|
||
function togglePanel()
|
||
function pinClipboardItem(cliphistId: string)
|
||
function unpinItem(pinnedId: string)
|
||
function copyPinned(pinnedId: string)
|
||
function addSelectionToTodo() // NEW - replaced 9+ functions
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## UI/UX Improvements
|
||
|
||
### 1. Panel Layout Redesign
|
||
**Impact:** High - Better space utilization
|
||
|
||
**Changes:**
|
||
- Fullscreen transparent overlay (replaces anchored panel)
|
||
- Two sub-panels: Pinned (left, vertical) + Clipboard (bottom, horizontal)
|
||
- Pinned panel: 300px width (max 20% screen width)
|
||
- Clipboard panel: 300px height (max 30% screen height)
|
||
- Click outside panels to close
|
||
|
||
**Removed Animations:**
|
||
- Eliminated `populate`, `add`, `remove`, `displaced`, `move` transitions
|
||
- Instant card appearance/disappearance
|
||
- No sliding animations on delete
|
||
- Improved perceived performance
|
||
|
||
**Benefits:**
|
||
- Always-visible pinned items
|
||
- More horizontal space for clipboard cards
|
||
- Better multi-monitor support (fullscreen overlay)
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 2. ClipboardCard Enhancements
|
||
**Impact:** Medium - Better usability
|
||
|
||
**Visual Improvements:**
|
||
- Pin indicator icon in top-right corner (for pinned items)
|
||
- Unified color scheme (background = header = body)
|
||
- Gradient separator between header and content
|
||
- Hover effects with color lightening/darkening
|
||
|
||
**Interactive Elements:**
|
||
- ToDo button now shows context menu (page selection)
|
||
- Pin button hidden for already-pinned items
|
||
- Delete button always visible
|
||
- Tooltips added for all action buttons
|
||
|
||
**Type Detection:**
|
||
- Enhanced regex patterns for better content classification
|
||
- Support for: Text, Image, Link, Code, Color, Emoji, File paths
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 3. Settings UI Redesign
|
||
**Impact:** High - Professional appearance
|
||
|
||
**Layout:**
|
||
- Section headers with bold large font
|
||
- NDivider separators between sections
|
||
- Logical grouping: Integrations, Pinned Items, Appearance
|
||
|
||
**New Components:**
|
||
- Card type selector dropdown
|
||
- Live preview rectangle with sample card
|
||
- 3-level color customization (bg, separator, fg)
|
||
- RGB color pickers with Material Design palette
|
||
- Reset to defaults button
|
||
|
||
**Removed:**
|
||
- "Auto-open pinned panel" toggle (always-on design)
|
||
- "Clear All Pinned Items" button (use individual delete)
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Performance Optimizations
|
||
|
||
### 1. Image Caching Strategy
|
||
**Implementation:**
|
||
- LRU (Least Recently Used) cache
|
||
- Max 50 images in memory
|
||
- Automatic eviction of oldest entries
|
||
- Reactive binding via `imageCacheRevision` counter
|
||
|
||
**Cache Operations:**
|
||
```qml
|
||
function addToImageCache(cliphistId, dataUrl) {
|
||
// Remove if exists (will re-add at end)
|
||
// Evict oldest if at capacity
|
||
while (imageCacheOrder.length >= maxImageCacheSize) {
|
||
const oldestKey = imageCacheOrder[0];
|
||
// Remove from cache
|
||
}
|
||
// Add new entry
|
||
imageCacheRevision++; // Trigger reactive updates
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Benefits:**
|
||
- Reduced cliphist decode calls (expensive operation)
|
||
- Faster card rendering for previously-seen images
|
||
- Bounded memory usage
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 2. Removed Animations
|
||
**Impact:** Medium - Faster perceived performance
|
||
|
||
**Removed Transitions:**
|
||
- `populate`: Initial list population
|
||
- `add`: New item insertion
|
||
- `remove`: Item deletion (was sliding left)
|
||
- `displaced`: Item repositioning
|
||
- `move`: Item movement
|
||
|
||
**Result:**
|
||
- Instant feedback on delete operations
|
||
- No visual lag during filtering
|
||
- Cleaner appearance during rapid changes
|
||

## Bug Fixes
|
||
|
||
### 1. Command Injection Vulnerabilities (CRITICAL)
|
||
**GitHub v1.1.0 Issue:**
|
||
```qml
|
||
// Vulnerable to shell injection
|
||
Quickshell.execDetached(["sh", "-c", "cliphist decode " + id + " | wl-copy"])
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Local v1.3.1 Fix:**
|
||
```qml
|
||
// Input validation + proper command array
|
||
if (!/^\d+$/.test(String(id))) {
|
||
Logger.e("clipper", "Invalid clipboard ID");
|
||
return;
|
||
}
|
||
copyToClipboardProc.command = ["cliphist", "decode", String(id)];
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 2. Internal IPC Anti-Pattern (HIGH)
|
||
**GitHub v1.1.0 Issue:**
|
||
```qml
|
||
// Panel.qml calling its own plugin via IPC (anti-pattern)
|
||
Process {
|
||
command: ["qs", "ipc", "call", "plugin:clipper", "addTextToTodo", ...]
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Local v1.3.1 Fix:**
|
||
```qml
|
||
// Direct function call
|
||
pluginApi?.mainInstance?.addTodoWithText(text, pageId);
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 3. Memory Leaks in Process Objects
|
||
**GitHub v1.1.0 Issue:**
|
||
- No cleanup handlers for Process objects
|
||
- Processes continue running after component destruction
|
||
|
||
**Local v1.3.1 Fix:**
|
||
```qml
|
||
Component.onDestruction: {
|
||
if (listProc.running) listProc.terminate();
|
||
if (decodeProc.running) decodeProc.terminate();
|
||
// ... all 11 processes terminated
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 4. Multi-Monitor Support Issues
|
||
**Remaining Issue in v1.3.1:**
|
||
```qml
|
||
// Still uses Quickshell.screens[0] - should use withCurrentScreen()
|
||
function toggle() {
|
||
const screens = Quickshell.screens;
|
||
if (screens && screens.length > 0) {
|
||
pluginApi.togglePanel(screens[0]); // Always first screen
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Recommended Fix:**
|
||
```qml
|
||
function toggle() {
|
||
if (pluginApi) {
|
||
pluginApi.withCurrentScreen(screen => {
|
||
pluginApi.togglePanel(screen);
|
||
});
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|

```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Testing Recommendations
|
||
|
||
### Critical Test Cases:
|
||
1. **Security:** Attempt clipboard ID injection: `12345; rm -rf /`
|
||
2. **Multi-Monitor:** Test toggle on non-primary screen
|
||
3. **Memory:** Monitor RSS after 100+ clipboard operations
|
||
4. **Pinned Items:** Test 20-item limit enforcement
|
||
5. **ToDo Integration:** Test with ToDo plugin disabled
|
||
6. **Image Caching:** Verify LRU eviction after 51 images
|
||
7. **Translation:** Test all 16 language files load correctly
|
||
8. **Color Customization:** Test custom RGB → save → reload
|
||
|
||
### Performance Benchmarks:
|
||
- Initial load time: < 500ms
|
||
- Image decode & cache: < 200ms per image
|
||
- Panel open latency: < 100ms
|
||
- Search filter response: < 50ms

## Migration Guide (v1.1.0 → v1.3.1)
|
||
|
||
### For Users:
|
||
1. **Backup existing clipboard data** (cliphist database)
|
||
2. Update plugin files
|
||
3. Restart Noctalia Shell
|
||
4. Configure ToDo integration in Settings (if using ToDo plugin)
|
||
5. Customize card colors if desired
|
||
6. Update keybinds (if using removed `addToTodo1-9` functions)
|
||
|
||
### For Developers:
|
||
1. **Remove ClipboardService.qml** - functionality in Main.qml
|
||
2. **Update IPC calls** - use new `addSelectionToTodo` instead of numbered functions
|
||
3. **Test pinned items** - new persistent storage in `pinned.json`
|
||
4. **Verify translations** - all strings now use `pluginApi?.tr()`
|
||
5. **Check multi-monitor** - potential issue with screen detection
|
||
|
||
### Breaking Changes:
|
||
- ClipboardService.qml removed (use Main.qml functions)
|
||
- IPC functions `addToTodo1-9` removed (use context menu or `addSelectionToTodo`)
|
||
- Settings structure changed (new color customization fields)
|
||
- Panel layout changed (fullscreen overlay vs anchored panel)
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Known Issues & Future Work
|
||
|
||
### Current Issues (v1.3.1):
|
||
1. **[HIGH]** Multi-monitor: IpcHandler uses `screens[0]` instead of `withCurrentScreen()`
|
||
2. **[MEDIUM]** Duplicated code: getTodoPages() in TodoPageSelector.qml and ClipboardCard.qml
|
||
3. **[MEDIUM]** Magic numbers: Hardcoded dimensions (250px, 300px, etc.)
|
||
4. **[LOW]** Panel.qml.backup tracked in git (should be in .gitignore)
|
||
5. **[LOW]** .gitignore file deleted (should be restored)
|
||
|
||
### Planned Features (v1.4.0+):
|
||
- [ ] Configurable history limit (50-500 items)
|
||
- [ ] Image preview size limit setting
|
||
- [ ] Export/import pinned items
|
||
- [ ] Clipboard sync across devices
|
||
- [ ] Smart categorization using AI
|
||
- [ ] Clipboard statistics dashboard
|
||

## Recommendations
|
||
|
||
### For Immediate Deployment (v1.3.1):
|
||
✅ **Safe to deploy** with the following caveats:
|
||
1. Test multi-monitor setup thoroughly (potential screen detection issue)
|
||
2. Document IPC changes for users with custom keybinds
|
||
3. Backup existing clipboard data before migration
|
||
4. Restore `.gitignore` file to prevent tracking backup files
|
||
|
||
### Priority Fixes for v1.3.2:
|
||
1. **[HIGH]** Fix IpcHandler screen detection (use `withCurrentScreen()`)
|
||
2. **[HIGH]** Add Component.onDestruction to Panel, Settings, ClipboardCard, BarWidget
|
||
3. **[MEDIUM]** Refactor duplicated getTodoPages() function
|
||
4. **[MEDIUM]** Replace magic numbers with Style constants
|
||
5. **[LOW]** Remove Panel.qml.backup from repository
|
||
6. **[LOW]** Restore .gitignore file
|
||
|
||
### Long-term Improvements (v1.4.0+):
|
||
- History limit configuration (requested feature)
|
||
- Pinned items export/import
|
||
- Clipboard statistics dashboard
|
||
- AI-powered categorization
|
||
- Cross-device sync
