cliphist-rofi-img fails to display images

[stratosgear]

When I trigger it like this:

$ rofi -modi clipboard:/home/stratos/dotfiles/bin/wayland_cliphist_images.sh  -show clipboard -show-icons
grep: (standard input): binary file matches

I get the above grep message on the console and an empty rofi window.

My partial cliphist list shows this:

$ cliphist list
201     rofi -modi clipboard:/home/stratos/dotfiles/bin/wayland_cliphist_images.sh -show clipboard -show-ic
200     cliphist-rofi-img
199     cliphist list \ | grep -Fv '<meta http-equiv="content-type"'
198     #!/usr/bin/env bash tmp_dir="/tmp/cliphist" rm -rf "$tmp_dir" if [[ -n "$1" ]]; then cliphist dec
197     binary data image/png
196     SN850X

There is one image copied in there

Am I "holding it wrong"?

BTW, I use:

wl-paste --watch cliphist store

to copy items to my clipboard (running in hyprland)

EDITED: To replace wayland with hyprland!

@Sonico98 maybe we should remove the link in the readme, or back the script work for both 0.4 and 0.5

hey just for fun (and wanting to close the issue) i updated the script to be backwards compatible with 0.4, and also made it much faster (avoiding spawning subprocesses in a loop basically)

seems to be quite a lot faster on my machine

hopefully that works for you @stratosgear, and @Sonico98 let me know if you are cool with the changes 👍

Yes. This works now. But I hate that the icons (previews?) appear so small. Looking for a better solution, somewhere...

Thanks!

Of course! Thanks a lot for your efforts! I wouldn't have been able to come up with such a smart solution.

That depends on your rofi theme. You can get bigger previews in a quick way with the following:
rofi -modi clipboard:cliphist-rofi -show clipboard -config /usr/share/rofi/themes/lb.rasi -show-icons -theme-str '#window {height: 80%; }' -theme-str '#element-icon {size: 10ch; }'
Otherwise, add those values inside your rofi config.rasi file, if you have any.
You may also replace 10ch with any other value you like more, for example 50px.
