Links copied from browsers not displayed

[stefonarch]

1. Copy any link from address bar (firefox, falkon, chromium) or right click menu in browsers (select → copy link)
2. Open lxqt-clip
3. It's not present at top
4. Paste it in a text editor and copy it from there→ this works. Right click → copy in Qterminal too.

Other elements:

• Cannot reproduce anymore with my testuser
• But same issue with my user on debian lxqt-git
• Falkon right click links → copy, mark titlebar →right click menu → copy: works, basically only clt+c in adressbar doesn't.
• Same issue in thunderbird, any "copy link" does nothing appear in lxqt-clip
• X11 is fine.

Suspect the issue could be in KF6GuiAddons:

Ok, looks like "Use platform specific extensions" needs to be checked on Wayland.
Should we make this default?

Should we make this default?

Your comments above suggest that we should.

[stefonarch]

It's just that I've not the minimum of an idea what this does ;)

So I looked at the code and it looks that we could simplify/reword it. In any translation the meaning of "PSE" (Platform Specific Extensions) is lost, making this setting confusing for the user.

lxqt-clip/src/item.cpp

Lines 193 to 199 in fd5dc52

	QIcon Item::decorationRole() const
	{
	if (!Preferences::Instance()->platformExtensions())
	{
	return iconForContentType();
	}

lxqt-clip/src/model.cpp

Lines 120 to 127 in fd5dc52

	void Model::clipboard_changed(QClipboard::Mode mode)
	{
	if ((mode == QClipboard::Selection || mode == QClipboard::FindBuffer)
	&& !Preferences::Instance()->platformExtensions())
	{
	return;
	}

Something like this with a tooltip about the primary clipboard?

This issue is here is resolved with any of the 3 current options, but actually "no synchronization" doesn't work....

[stefonarch]

synchronizePSE=0 in the .ini file is both:

1. "Use platform extensions" unchecked
2. Checked and "no synchronization" chosen.

For this issue here this means that's impossible not to save selections AND have links from GTK apps in the clipboard history apparently.
