streaming paste to stdout

[primalmotion]

Hi! I'm trying to use piknik in tandem with wl-clipboard to be able to sycn my clipboard between my laptop and my linux phone. Everything works smooth and dandy, but piknik -paste does not seem to have a way to stream the data to stdout (so I can pipe them to wl-copy). Am I missing something obvious or is this a missing feature you would like to consider?

Hi!

I'm a little bit confused here. piknik -paste sends the output to stdout. And stdout can be a pipe or anything else:

piknik -pastę | gzip -9 > /tmp/xyz

What exactly doesn't work in your case? Do you get an error message?

[jedisct1]

Do you mean that you would like piknik -paste to block, and output the data as it comes, rather than wait for piknik -copy to have finished?

That can be added, although it requires substantial changes to the protocol, as it wouldn't be copy/paste any more.

yes that's what I mean, continuous paste :)
