Feature Request: Show Date and/or Time at entries #40
Comments
It sounds to me like what you're after is search filters, or just filters in general. So for example, show me entries within this date range. Is that correct? |
I use the extension as well and sometimes I want to know if I copied someting. So for example it was around 2pm and I try to find it again. I copy a lot of stuff, sometimes the same multiple times on diffrent days. Something like a timpestamp would be enough for me when searching. So if there is no entry with a timestamp from that time I forgot to copy it. |
To add here: I think I'd be too lazy to use the date/time-range filter, in most cases I find the entry in 60 seconds. With a date/time-column I'd probably find it in 15-30 seconds. Setting up a time-range filter would probably take more time than it would save. Do you know how the Windows Download folder looks like? With divided parts for time "sessions". That for example is amazing and helps a lot with finding a file I downloaded. Or for example when I look into my Browser History: This also helps a lot with finding the website I visited in the past rgds, Kira |
And Firefox history offers both (as another example), you can select a time range left (but without having to select a time-range for a filter) and it (can) show the last visit in a column auto-magic groupings like in Windows download folder or auto-magic filter like in the left side of the Firefox history would also be sufficient and I would use them a lot. @SUPERCILEX Do you accept pull-requests theoretically? In case I have some time and would like to try to implement this myself |
Thank you for those examples! What you're asking for makes a lot more sense now. :) I'm happy to accept a PR that does the UI work for this with hard coded dates and I can do the database stuff (unless you want to do that too). The hard part will be dealing with pagination: you'll need to dynamically add and remove section headers as the user goes through pages. |
I received an out-of-band request for this that had a simpler idea: just store the string representation of the time in the copied entry itself. Then when we paste we'd have to strip that prefix text. Something along those lines behind a settings option should be relatively easy to implement if anyone wants to take it up. |
Ohhhhh, I get it. This is really easy actually: create a custom shortcut with this command |
I figured out how to do it myself finally, shortly before your reply, using wl-clipboard. Is there any advantage to using xclip instead? I saw it during my search but was afraid it wouldn't work smoothly in Wayland.

Nah, shouldn't really matter as long as ot works. |
Great library, great addition to gnome!
As a feature request idea for the future: It would be really helpful for us if you could (as an option) see when the entries were copied. Often enough you know something like: "Yesterday afternoon I copied this token" and with this feature you could much more easily find entries like that while traversing the pagination.
