important klipper suggestion

[Dan Allen]

KDE developers, you always respond so quickly and productively to
requests that will make your desktop more user-friendly and
productive.  Here is one feature I believe would make a very large
difference in a very tiny way.

klipper
+FREEZE
+EXPORT

Klipper currently allows you to have anywhere from 0 - 25 or so
items in the history.  Naturally I always try to go for the maximum
number, which slows down klipper more and more.  Then I ask myself,
"Why do I always need so many?"  Two very good reasons that lead to
the point of this request.

Recently, while using fluxbox, I installed the dockapp wmcliphist,
which is just like klipper.  Using wmcliphist, I could rightclick on
an item and it would FREEZE (and hence highlight) that item in the
list.  It would progressively move down as new items were added, but
it would never get bumped off the end of the list.  I could maintain
items in my clipboard for several weeks without losing them this way
(and then I don't need 25 items because I will freeze an item right
away that I don't want to lose).  Additionally, wmcliphist has a
feature to EXPORT the items (or just the frozen items) to a file.
Again, when you are doing a lot of text editing, there is no limit
to how useful all of this can become.  I honestly believe that
klipper could become a true stronghold in KDE with these two
features.

Thoughts?

The idea of implementing a serious complex set of business 
logic rules in a scripting language like Perl really scares me. 
Perl is too much 'write once, read never again'. And that's no good 
for business logic that requires maintenance.
