Ian: what is your usecase? You jumped into the technical issues immediately, but as far as I can tell, you haven't actually explained what you're trying to accomplish.
FTR, I agree with Klaus that I would be frustrated if selecting images in geeqie would blow away my X selection buffer, specifically because my only reason to select text is to copy it, but there are other reasons to select images in geeqie. For instance my most common reason to select images in geeqie is to just be able to compare similar images — if you have a selection active, then hitting "next image" will only cycle through the selected images. --xsdg On 07/14/2014 02:13 AM, Ian Zimmerman wrote: > Klaus Ethgen <Klaus+geekie@...> writes: > > Ian> You're right that simply changing the current code from > Ian> GDK_SELECTION_PRIMARY to GDK_SELECTION_CLIPBOARD would break your > Ian> usage while fixing mine.
