Changelog

Added

• Windows: papier shows the system's clipboard history (the one Win+V shows), searched and filtered as on Linux, at a shortcut of its own (picker.shortcut, Win+Shift+V by default). Enter puts an entry back on the clipboard; an entry can be copied as plain text, edited (the edit is a new copy), removed, and the history cleared. The system keeps the history and its pins (Settings > System > Clipboard). The release has a papier-<version>-windows-x64.zip. Its CI builds it and runs its tests on Windows, where the system answers papier's reads; the runner's session has the clipboard history off, so reading the entries, putting one back and removing it have not run on a real desktop yet.

Changed

• Each archive of a release has its SHA-256 in a file beside it (<archive>.sha256), in place of SHA256SUMS.txt.

Fixed

• Settings: a change (a theme chosen, a switch) is saved when ~/.config/papier does not exist yet. It was lost, and the preferences read back from no file put the old value back. It is gui_toolkit 0.123.0.

Fixed

• Settings: a number with a unit (Max age, in days) no longer makes its line as tall as the page. It is gui_toolkit 0.122.0.

Changed

• The history is a SQLite database, history.db, with SQLite linked into papier. Each change is written at once, in one transaction. The history of papier 0.4 (index and blobs/) is imported at the first start, with its ids, times and pins, then deleted.
• The search finds a word anywhere in the text of a copy, not only in its first kilobyte. A word of one or two letters is still looked for in the preview.

Added

• Settings (Ctrl+, or the gear of the title bar): every preference on four pages (Appearance, Window, History, Capture), the search, a switch, a choice, a slider or a field for each, the themes as cards in their own colours. A change is saved and applied at once. It is gui_toolkit's prefs_page (0.120.0).

Changed

• capture.max_bytes is capture.size_limit.

Added

• The machined finish, the default (picker.finish): bevelled buttons, the search as a sunken well with a ring of light when focused, the filters on a carved track. flat, gradient and glass are the others.
• Themes with a dark and a light version (gui_toolkit 0.117.0): picker.theme names Papier or one of the toolkit's 25 themes; picker.mode shows the system's version and follows it when it changes, or the dark one, or the light one. picker.glow turns the halos off.

Changed

• picker.theme no longer takes "papier light": the light version is picker.mode light.

Added

• The menu of an entry: a right click on a row, the Menu key or Shift+F10. Copy, Copy as plain text (rich text), Edit…, Open (an address in the browser, a file with its program, the rest as a file of its type), Open with (the applications the system knows for the type: gui_toolkit's desktop.handlers_for_file), Show in folder (files), Save as…, Pin, Remove. Ctrl+O opens, Ctrl+S saves as.
• The edit view: Ctrl+E or the pencil puts the text of an entry in an editor. Ctrl+Enter copies it as a new entry; Ctrl+S saves it in place of the entry (its place and its pin kept); Escape leaves.

Fixed

• The preview follows an edit: it was kept by the entry's id, which an edit does not change.

Fixed

• papier is in no task bar while hidden (gui_toolkit 0.114.2): started with --hidden, its window was a toplevel with no picture, and ShojiWM's task bar listed it. The toplevel is now made when the window shows.

Fixed

• No spin at the end of a wait (gui_toolkit 0.114.1): on Wayland, a wait with less than a millisecond left returned at once, and the loop woke about 150 times before its deadline.

Fixed

• The search field is one box: the field drew its own square focus ring inside the rounded search box. The box is now the toolkit's field_frame: one surface and one rounded focus ring around the icon and the field.

Fixed

• The grip is grey: its lines asked the theme for a colour name it lacks, and got the violet that marks a missing name. They take the weak text's colour, finer and shorter.

Added

• A grip in the title bar: three faint lines between the search and the filters mark a place reserved to move the window.

Fixed

• The window takes the keyboard when it shows: papier asks the compositor for the focus (xdg-activation). ShojiWM's Windows 7 configuration did not focus it, so the arrows and the search did nothing until a click.
• The tray icon shows: panels that read the icon in one call (Quickshell, Waybar) showed the "missing icon" pattern.
• The selection moves at once over images: a picture is decoded on a thread of its own, and the newest selection wins. A 4K screenshot took about 180 ms to decode, and the window waited for it at each step.

Added

• The clipboard's history on Wayland: every copy is recorded through the data-control protocol (ext-data-control-v1, or zwlr-data-control-unstable-v1), with no window and no focus: text, rich text (HTML), images (PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, BMP, SVG) and files copied in a file manager.
• One process for the session: papier lives in the notification area and its window comes up in a few milliseconds. A second papier hands it show; papier toggle is for a key binding.
• The window: an integrated title bar with the search and the filters (All, Text, Images, Files, Pinned), a dense list that builds only the rows in view, the selected entry in full beside it (text in a monospace face, images, files), a splitter, a status bar with the keys. Its size, its place (X11) and the list's width are remembered.
• The keyboard: typing filters, Up / Down / Page Up / Page Down move, Enter or a double click puts an entry back on the clipboard, Alt+1..9 the first nine, Ctrl+P pins, Shift+Delete removes, Tab switches the filter, Escape clears or hides.
• Pinned entries stay whatever the limits.
• Secrets are left out: what a password manager marks with x-kde-passwordManagerHint is not recorded.
• The clipboard kept: when the program that owned it quits and empties it, the last entry goes back.
• The history on the disk: content-addressed blobs (a copy of the same bytes is one file) and an index written atomically; the same copy twice is one entry, moved to the top.
• Preferences (papier prefs, papier set, --pref): history limits, what to record, the size limit, types to ignore, the primary selection, the theme (papier, papier light, or any of gui_toolkit's palettes), the window's size and text size.
• The command line: list, get, copy, pin, unpin, delete, clear, show, hide, toggle, quit.
• The desktop: papier install adds a launcher with its icons, ~/.local/bin/papier and the start with the session; uninstall and status.
• papiertool: build, test, check, live (the real program in a headless sway), shots, logo, package, notes, ship, site.
