It's indeed unfortunate that it doesn't report deletion URL for pastebins that support it. > Half the time, there's no way to view the pastebin after it's sent because > plugin failed to open browser on my computer, and didn't print any message > indicating issue, or where to get pastebin, etc. (The other half, were error > popups.) Failing to open the browser is odd, because it uses Geany's own `utils_open_browser()`, so that suggests this doesn't work for you either? Though, note that the default behavior is to show the URL, not open it. > The pastebin that did work (https://pastebin.geany.org/) hadn't been used > since Dec 2022. So the plugin probably isn't being used. That part is not true: it's just that by default the pastes are deleted after a while, and it just means that nobody had made a forever-paste since then. Also, https://paste.debian.net works, albeit not for single-line pastes (but indeed the plugin fails to report the error). It's not to say that the plugin *is* used though, it might not be. --- Anyway, as @elextr said this has been abandoned by it's author, and I've been surprised of the amount of work I did put in it myself over the years (not that I really mind, but I don't think of myself as the maintainer). I think that this plugin has some occasional use (although I don't myself, and it lacks support for some popular ones like gists), but I won't weep over its coffin if that should be its fate. Also, there are some competent tools around that might be a worthy replacement, like [pastebinit](https://github.com/pastebinit/pastebinit) that could probably be wrapped to offer a similar featureset. Pastebin service support might however be easy enough to improve; it's configuration files that need to be added/removed/adapted to pastebin service changes. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins/pull/1342#issuecomment-2080606715 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
