![]() You can just drag-and-drop text snippets, images, web pages, files, URLs, and sticky notes directly into the app. Drag-and-Drop - Mouse lovers won't have to use shortcuts.Access Your Information Anywhere - Cache automatically syncs across your devices (currently Windows and iPhone only).No more accidental overwrites or RAM-eating images. Never Lose Anything - The app will automatically save everything you copy.Organize Saved Content - To organize what you save to Cache, you can create groups.Think of it as a more transient version of OneDrive. Bookmark Whole Documents - You'll be able to copy entire documents into the app and access them on other devices.Here are some of the most exciting features: And how many times have you either accidentally overwritten something stored on the clipboard or pasted the wrong thing into a document? If you don't manually replace it quickly, it's easy to forget it's even there. For example, a high-definition image with a large resolution has the potential to eat through a significant amount of RAM until it's replaced. The clipboard is confined to one device and user profile, meaning it doesn't help you in copying information between different devices or users.Īll this presents problems.The files we want to copy have become much larger.Once replaced or removed, you can no longer retrieve the information you copied to the clipboard earlier.A piece of information you temporarily copy to the clipboard stays there until you replace it with a new piece of information or until you shut down your computer.You just press Copy, which temporarily stores the information on what we call the clipboard, put the cursor in the new location, and click Paste. ![]() ![]() The clipboard makes it easy to move text and images around on a page, or transfer them from one app to another. When recommending people to use Fedora I don't want to care about telling them which packages not to install.But although those simple shortcuts have served people well since the beginning of the computer age, another key aspect of the copy/paste process - the clipboard itself - is in major need of an overhaul. Having this extremely unsecure code interact with untrustworthy content like websites is a huge risk for our users basically handing out their computers and data to any criminal hacker. Also, I doubt any other package does as the following command lists no package:Ī linux distribution like Fedora is also about responsibility for our users.

Dependencies should migrate to QtWebEngine if possible, or remove web views entirely if not. I suggest that it's time for this package, and everything that depends on it, to disappear from Fedora. We shouldn't have a totally unsandboxed web engine in Fedora that has gone four years with no security updates. Īnnulen has been working on updating it, but it's slow going and frankly much too late. ![]() It's affected by hundreds of CVEs, mostly remote code execution vulnerabilities, detailed from WSA-2016-0006 to present at. Qt5-qtwebkit is annulen's fork of QtWebKit, which is based on WebKitGTK 2.12 from early 2016.
