The "Copy file name" and "Copy URL" menu commands only copy the data to the primary X11 selection, which is probably a mistake.
The next Recoll version will either copy to the clipboard or both the selection and clipboard (the latter would mimick a mouse-select + Ctrl-C, the exact operation the menu is supposed to make easier). For now, the workaround is to use a middle button mouse click to paste the primary selection to the desired target. jf Kartik Mistry writes: > > forwarded 504876 "Jean-Francois Dockes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > thanks > > Thanks for bug report, Alex. > > I am forwarding mail to upstream. > > ~ Kartik > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Alex <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Sat, Nov 8, 2008 at 12:27 AM > Subject: Bug#504876: recoll: The copy/paste buffer does not work > To: Debian Bug Tracking System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > Package: recoll > Version: 1.10.6-1 > Severity: normal > > The "copy url" and "copy file name" do not work in Recoll. > How to reproduce: > Search for something in recoll such that there is at least one search > result.
