This is a port of the GPaste Gnome-Shell extension.
GPaste is a clipboard management tool, this applet lets you access your clipboard through an icon in the panel.
Installation
================
You might have to install the GPaste deamon first!
Have a look at the GPaste Github page: https://github.com/Keruspe/GPaste
Or install it via the Webupd8 PPA as described here: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/install-gpaste-in-ubuntu-native-gnome.html
1) Copy the folder "gpaste@dmo60.de" to "~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets/".
2) Enable the applet in cinnamon settings. (Eventually you have to restart cinnamon: Press Alt+F2, type 'r' and enter)

Thanks, man. Very useful.
thank you very much but can you tell me how to change its icon ? here i get a black icon on a black panel so i can hardly see it...for example the gpaste extension looks much better. see screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/P90Yd.png i would very much like your applet to look like the extension
@billynick: And so do I! I really tried to find a solution for this, but it's difficult... You can change the icon by editing line 71 in applet.js ( this.set_applet_icon_name("edit-paste"); ) You can choose any icon from your icon-theme and enter its name there (without the .svg/.png). The extension uses "edit-paste-symbolic". It gives you a light icon, but on my machine it looked bloated and blurry, so I decided to change it. Seems like icons for applets are treated differently from icons for panel extensions, or I just didn't get the trick :)
Ok sorry I just fixed it, wasn't that hard after all :) It now uses a symbolic panel icon like the extension does and so better integrates into the panel and the theme.
@dmo60 whoa you made it! wonderful! can you tell me how ? i have another applet i would like to change like that. and maybe other applet developers would like to know too. gave u 5 stars already so cant increase it hehe
I installed the new version and after rebooting I have no icon... I don't know why, maybe it's because I use Ubuntu?
@billynick: Glad it works for you! Look into applet.js, I've replaced line 71 with line 72, it did the trick. If I got it right, this should work for any icon that has a *-symbolic counterpart in your icon theme. @moray33: What icon theme are you using? Perhaps it misses the edit-paste-symbolic icon. Don't know what else should cause this problem. If it still doesn't work for you with other icon themes, you can swap back and uncomment line 71 in applets.js and comment out line 72. You can fill in any icon name of your icon theme in line 71.
I tried with other icon and I also I tried change to all the icon themes I have but there's still no icon. If I delete "_symbolic" in line 71 I have no problem. I was wondering if this can happen due to I'm using Cinnamon 1.2
perhaps thats the reason, you can go with the non-symbolic icon until you update to a newer version of cinnamon
Very handy. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for the applet but there is a "misfunctioning" with Libreoffice 3.5. With GPaste active, when I copy / paste a formula, I got only the value and not a new formula. After GPaste desactivation and Cinnamon restarted, no more problem … Note : I didn't test under GShell with GPaste extension
Sorry for that! I just ported the extension from gnome shell, I didn't change anything regarding functionality. I think that's rather an issue with the GPaste daemon and it's not in my hands. But I will try update the applet soon to keep track with the changes from the original extensions. Would be interesting if this issue is also present in gnome shell, perhaps I will test it.
Hi Hi. I'm using LMDE 201204 & I can't make this work. I get: "couldn't connect to GPaste daemon" If I try to run gpaste in the terminal I get a not found message. Attempting to install Gpaste from Gnome 3 sources has so far failed. I can't add "ppa:webupd8team/gnome3" to my repos as suggested in various threads here & there eg Mint Forum. Git is something I don't have any knowledge of. Any ideas? This is quite an important app for me. thanks Barry
SOLUTION for LMDE USERS When they say: ppa:webupd8team/gnome3 You cannot add that in Debian. You need to add: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/gnome3/ubuntu oneiric main This was my first encounter with this issue & I think that this information should be added to the installation instructions for other people in the same situation. Finally, thanks! I used the app to paste the two addresses into this post.
dont know if its jut me but it doesent seem to work in lm 13 ?
used to work to me, not anymore in a clean installation, any ideas?
Hey guys, I'm sorry but I won't provide any further improvements on this. I don't find the time to do it and I'm not even using Cinnamon at the moment and won't do so in the near future. So I'm dropping support for all my applets, I will only try to update my CoverflowAltTab extension from time to time. If someone else wants to continue developing it, just do so - I would appreciate it.
Since Mint 13 no longer bundles a lot of Gnome Shell stuff, installing GPaste daemon now pulls *a lot* of useless stuff... @luis If you installed the daemon as described, it will work...
My bad. I installed the whole GPaste Gnome Shell plugin... and it's absolutely not needed. It just needs GPaste itself.
Argh... I wish I could just delete the stuff I wrote. Another blunder on my side. Gnome Shell stuff *is* needed.
For those of you who are using LM 13, you'll need to install gir1.2-gdesktopenums-3.0 and gir1.2-gjsdbus-1.0 for this to work.
MntWarriorSC, thanks for that, works perfectly now!
Thanks MntWarriorSC!! I spent 1 hour before reading your post, now it works!
Thanks, I love this applet and use it all the time. Unfortunately, gpaste-daemon 3.0.1 depends on gnome-control-center, which adds a bunch of useless junk (for me, it would add cups-pk-helper, gnome-online-accounts, libsocialweb, mobile-broadband-provider-info, network-manager-applet, rest, and gnome-control-center). For now, I'm not updating gpaste-daemon, but this does raise questions for future development of this applet. Any thoughts?
Update: gnome-control-center is now optional, I withdraw my previous concerns. Thanks again!
