Turns out, copy and paste support for files was a one line diff. also, Squirrel is now v0.4.0, yippee.
anyways, moving swiftly on.

Planning for a v1.0

Squirrel is now in a state where we have most of the major features i wanted it to have: support for essential clipboard data types, pinning and search. however, it is not quite in a v1.0 state.

there are a bunch of things i want to add to polish up the program and make it feel sort of “complete”, which is mainly focusing on some basic configuration ability.

since sensible defaults are hard to figure out, i’d rather let the user break things instead of being stuck with my arbitrary decisions.
thus, i present the current planned feature list for v1:

• Configuration: enabling basic behavior customization through a config file (TOML most likely)
• Program exceptions: dont capture clipboard data on certain programs
• Auto delete/never store: ability to specify a “shelf life” for items, or whether to store them persistently at all.
• Disable specific types: ability to pick which kind of clipboard events to capture, i.e. only text or text and images, etc.
• Configurable image size threshold: currently locked to 5mb, this would allow to specify a custom value.
• (?) Custom data storage format: still torn on this, but there may be performance to be gained by moving to a data store more geared for our purposes.

this list ofcourse, might change. implementing these features would make Squirrel much more flexible, and make it v1 worthy.
